I would feel sorry for Theresa May being held hostage by the Brexit nutters and the President - if she wasn’t such a deeply unpleasant person wholly responsible for the mess she was in. So in many ways, I hope each and every day is unending agony for her.

She hopes for a trade deal to offset the potential collapse in trade with the EU following Brexit - but hasn’t thought about just how protectionist the US is in key areas where the UK is strong, or that falling into line with US rules would close off trade even further with the EU.
And there is the ever-pitiful sight of PMs scuttling off to Washington hoping to hear the magical phrase ‘special relationship’ that will give the right-wing press a boner because it means we’re one of the ‘big’ countries.

Hated racism, or just outsourced it to Crazy Phil? He’s racist enough for an entire dynasty all on his ownsome.

A while ago I said something almost exactly like this to my 11 yo daughter about conservative voters. There is a house on our street that regularly flies a Trump flag, but are very lovely people (full bars on Halloween!). As we were walking by last night she made the connection and asked if this is how Trump and his base see of immigrants. She couldn’t reconcile that belief with her personal experiences. Thank dog.
I, for one, welcome our new Boingiest overlord

It doesn’t necessarily mean a warm welcome from the public, of course - I doubt he particularly cares about the little people. It could mean a warm welcome from Parliament (perhaps an invitation to speak in Westminster Hall?) or from the Mayor (not going to happen…). Even a warm welcome from the Corporation of the City of London (no idea about their views).
None of which can be guaranteed by the Prime Minister.
That’s the part I have greatest problem with, and the reason I make a point of never, ever reading anything Cory posts, which is about as trustworthy as the Daily Mail.
I just got hooked by the egregious headline… Well played, Cory, I suppose.
Oddly enough, I would be available to cover that shift on the barricades.

I wonder if Trump’s appointed physician, Rear Adm. Ronny Jackson, did the two-fingered “how many fingers do you see” test with Trump.
Jackson (holding two fingers up): How many fingers am I holding up?
Trump: All the fingers. Fantastic, beautiful fingers, more than any doctor has ever held up before.
Jackson: Um, OK, can you give me an approximate number?
Trump: Way more than any doctor, and the great thing about, actually with doctors the thing is they all love Trump. With Obama, no love, no fingers. Sometimes fingers, but actually not really.
Jackson (discretely booking CT scan): And a ballpark number might be…
Trump: The most. Ever.
Jackson (removes the stage wall to address country directly): Concussion? Dementia? No one cares, I certainly don’t.
