So a 21 yr old breaking in to Windsor Castle is treason, but Johnson having a clandestine, unaccompanied mtg with a former KGB Agent is not?. FFS.

Dangerous times. The UK teeters on the brink of dictatorship with an out of control, populist legislature desperately trying to tap into its xenophobic fan base.
Forget backbencher Braverman’s howling tantrum in the Torygraph, this letter in The Times tells it as it really is… . We don’t want this govt’s wildly irresponsible attempts to break the law to enable their inhumanity. We want… and desperately need… an election.

Every word of this 👇👇👇.
The UK needs to immediately expel the Israeli Ambassador @tzipiHotovely. She went on British radio - and incited genocide. That's not simply a moral disgrace. It's illegal under the Genocide Convention of 1948. Kick her out.

Williamsons’ knighthood was for his nefarious role in the Russian take over of the Tory party. It’s the price of his silence. Carole Cadwalladr’s exposé lays out the sequence of events, timing and the players.
One of the least remarked, but most remarkable, aspects of Johnson's government is the absence of any sanction for epic incompetence, blatant dishonesty or ludicrous hypocrisy. And when someone combines all three to unprecedented effect, eg Gavin Wiliamson, they get a knighthood.

I respect the motives and understand the feelings of those who voted to remain in the EU. But 17.4 million opted to leave in a free and fair vote and the result must be respected. It’s our job now to work to overcome division.

I’m travelling abroad, I do regularly. It has NOT become “hugely unpleasurable”, on the contrary, it’s a blessed relief not to be in the UK. The Sterling exchange rate is an entirely separate matter. But Fraser Nelson happily conflates the 2 to push his sycophantic Brexit agenda.
The Spectator really has turned into The Daily Express - the “collapsing pound” doesn’t make British holidays more affordable since Brits are . wait for it . paid in pounds. And the cost of imports has gone up. Coffee? Wine? Petrol? Rod Widdle at his worst.
