…for fact-checking Trump’s stream of idiocy. It is a tale of sound and fury, signifying nothing… that the world as we know it is done for. The inmates have taken over the asylum.

It’s Back…
The “Downfall” meme never gets old. This is a particularly good example.
I take refuge in the humour, because the possible future of a second Trump presidency is almost too terrifying to contemplate.
Addendum: Michael Spicer joins in the fun…

The Resignation of Nadine Dorries
This won’t mean much to those of you who take no interest in UK Politics, but Nadine Dorries has finally resigned and metaphorically stuck the knife into Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s back in her resignation letter.
She was an MP who manifestly failed to represent her constituents in any meaningful manner and I am not sorry to see the back of her. Michael Spicer nails it:

UK Government in Chaos
Turmoil in the UK Parliament. Matt Green sums it up very well and exaggerates the situation only slightly.
Now that Truss has resigned after only 44 days as PM, the competition is on to find her replacement. Frankly, none of the candidates give me much hope, and I see that the appalling Johnson is likely to throw his hat into the ring. Be afraid, be very afraid…
Addendum: and Michael Spicer illustrates just how hopeless Truss was…

More Accomplished Racists Are Available…
With just nine days to go, First Dog on the Moon has published a handy voting guide to the UK general election. It’s definitely worth reading. Though I fear that his advice will be disregarded, and the current gang of “shits, charlatans and shysters”* will be returned to govern.
If there is a Tory majority, it will largely be because of their endlessly repeated slogan that they will “get Brexit done”. This means that Parliament will pass the Withdrawal Agreement, and Britain will leave the EU on 31 January 2020. However, Brexit is certainly not done, since the UK enters a new transition period during which the terms and conditions of multiple trade agreements and legislative frameworks have to be put in place. All of which leaves the future as uncertain as ever.
If you want a more in-depth analysis on what the future might hold, and the stances of the various players, then Chris Grey’s Brexit Blog and “What would ‘getting Brexit done’ mean?” is an excellent, and highly recommended, place to start.

Operation Yello-Whammer
As far as I am concerned, the Guardian’s First Dog On The Moon sums up the clusterfuck that is Brexit very well indeed.

The Mother of Parliaments
Jos Collignon, the political cartoonist of the Dutch Volkskrant newspaper sums up the shenanigans of Boris Johnson and his gang of shits, charlatans and shysters (thank you, John Crace) pretty accurately this week…
I see Farage has muscled in on the act as well…
