American cartoonist Dr. Seuss reacts to Japan's new Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, being inspired by Axis ally Hitler: "Now what in blazes am I going to use for Jews?"
Japanese government has encouraged Jewish refugees from Europe to settle in conquered China. Anti-Semitic propaganda from Nazi allies has convinced Japan that Jewish people are uniquely talented, since they apparently control international banks & media.
Japanese "Fugu Plan" hopes to move 50,000 Jews to Manchuko, named after delicious but potentially poisonous fugu fish. Japan's govt. hopes to harness Jewish "sly nature": "Dangerous or not, we need the Jews." nytimes.com/1979/05/19/arc…

WW2 Tweets from 1941

Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS, is touring the German-controlled USSR, viewing Nazi efforts to eliminate "subhumans". He's asked to see his first "shooting operation".
For Himmler's inspection, SS Einsatzgruppe B pick 100 Jews from Minsk to be shot. Among them, Himmler spots a young blond boy. Himmler: "Are you sure you're a Jew?" Boy: "Yes." "You have no Aryan ancestors?" "No." "Then I can't help- I did all I could." All shot.
Karl Wolff, Himmler's adjutant (right), accompanies SS chief to mass shooting: "He'd never seen dead people before. He stood at the edge of the open grave- & got brains splashed on his face & coat."

High-altitude reconnaissance Spitfire has spotted German "pocket battleship" Bismarck in the North Sea- Royal Navy now scrambling all available warships to find & sink her.
Two of the British warships hunting German battleship Bismarck has spotted their target off the coast of Iceland. HMS Hood & HMS Prince of Wales are moving in to attack.
Battlecruiser HMS Hood is the largest, heaviest warship in the world, & HMS Prince George is newly-commissioned battleship- so new she still has shipyard crew working below decks.

NOW: Prime Minister's statement on his defeat at the Supreme Court: bbc.co.uk/news/live/uk-p…
Prime Minister Boris Johnson tells MPs that the 11 Supreme Court justices - the final arbiters on the UK's laws and the British constitution - were "wrong".
It's perhaps worth at this point triple-underlining in red ink that whatever the Prime Minister says in the House, Paragraph 32 of the Supreme Court judgment explains (in plain English) how the courts have stopped government misusing executive powers since 1611. It's not new.

Thread: #Japan to Beef Up Military With Money for Aircraft Carrier, #US Jet Fighters - Defense Ministry is seeking $50.3 billion for the next fiscal year, up 1.2% from expected spending in the current year @9b3OR2qdITMbDcd 👍💪🇯🇵💪👍 wsj.com/articles/japan…
Japan plans to start converting a destroyer next year into its first post-World War II aircraft carrier and make its first payment for Lockheed Martin Corp. F-35B jet fighters that can take off from the ship.
Under Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Japan has steadily raised defense spending, citing rising security challenges from regional powers such as China and North Korea. President Trump has also pressured Japan to spend more on U.S. military hardware.

NEW BLOG: Can Boris Johnson ignore parliament and force a no deal Brexit?

Meg Russell and Robert Hazell conclude the answer is 'no', but that MPs will need to be organised and determined if they want to prevent a 'no deal'

@UKandEU @StudyofParl @psa_parl @UCL_EI @anandMenon1 @HansardSociety @DrHannahWhite @jasimsoncaird Today’s new post builds on an earlier one (link below) by the same authors

It addresses claims Johnson could ignore parliament, refusing to go if there's a vote of no confidence, or forcing a no deal Brexit during a general election campaign

constitution-unit.com/2019/06/30/six…
@UKandEU @StudyofParl @psa_parl @UCL_EI @anandMenon1 @HansardSociety @DrHannahWhite @jasimsoncaird Russell and Hazell also note, as another previous post (link below) did that it is problematic to have no parliamentary scrutiny of Johnson over the summer

This scrutiny gap is feeding increasingly wild claims on both sides

Now that Boris Johnson is the new Prime Minister of the UK, here are some of the stupid and/or offensive things he's said or written.
1. On Obama:

'The part-Kenyan President [has an] ancestral dislike of the British empire – of which Churchill had been such a fervent defender.'

2. On the burqa:

'...it is absolutely ridiculous that people should choose to go around looking like letter boxes.’
3. On Libyan city Sirte potentially becoming the new Dubai:

'...all they have to do is clear the dead bodies away'

4. On Hillary Clinton:

'She's got dyed blonde hair and pouty lips, and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental hospital'

New poll of Conservative members. 46% would happily see Nigel Farage as party leader. 63% would accept Scotland leaving the UK as the price of Brexit; 61% would accept "significant damage to the economy"; 59% the loss of N.Ireland; 54% "the Conservative Party being destroyed".
56% describe themselves as "Thatcherites", seemingly unaware that Thatcher was passionate about the Union, committed to the Conservative Party & an architect of the Single Market. There is a good book to be written on the misremembering of Mrs Thatcher.
After Churchill and Thatcher, the most respected leaders among the membership are William Hague and Iain Duncan Smith.

Watching the livestream of @LAW_witchhunt, before the meeting starts @ken4london turns to Graham Bash "you're Jewish?" He makes his speech first and then walks out "promised the kids I'd be home by 8..."
Leaving Tina Werkmann (who is she?) to introduce Jackie Walker and Graham Bash to the crowd. It's a bit sad really, the night before her expulsion hearing she wheels out Graham. You can imagine how his speech goes blah blah "I'm Jewish and it's all a smear" blah blah blah
Tina says "On that glorious day in 2015 I don't think anyone expected we'd take the @uklabour Party, take society, straight away..." and "Jeremy Corbyn has always been unacceptable not just to the right wing not just of the party but to the people who run society"
