The big problem the PM and his team have this afternoon is that yesterday’s by-elections were worse for the party than expectations. Inevitably the focus is on whether Johnson can survive.

I don’t see how else this ends. It is a fight to the death
The King does some provocative thing
Parliament reacts by being even more provocative
The King returns fire with something outrageous
Parliament is unfazed and does something REALLY outrageous
The King goes crazy
Parliament howls at the moon
And thus in a few short years England fell from normal, fairly calm Christian European country to brutal civil war, tens of thousands dead, and a king with his head in a basket
At each stage English people must have thought: Well this is bonkers, but surely it stops now. It did not
Nadine Dorries and the other collaborators in the UK culture war can feck right off.
And besides, if ever a move against abortion did come, it would come from Roman Catholics, who are just as likely to be found on the Left or in the Libs as in the Tory party
I realise "American exceptionalism" and all that, but surely if you're from California (population slightly smaller than Spain), it must grate just a little that you have the same number of senators as Wyoming (population slightly larger than Leicester)?
If California is that “successful” how come so many of them are moving to Texas? Have you visited the West Coast recently?

It's almost as if his whips checked the supreme court comms grid before signing off on moving the writs.
LA has spiralled into decline in the last few years. I hear SF is worse. Also Portland and Seattle
It’s not great
You: "AAAAAAAH CULTURE WAR, CULTURE WAR"
pal.
It has made clear abortion will now be decided by the American people via their elected representatives not the Supreme Court. So the pro life states, especially in the South and Bible Belt, can respect the rights of the unborn in their legislation.
The coastal pro choice states will likely largely stay as was
Time for Global Britain to truly take its place on the world stage by withdrawing from the Commonwealth. Boooo I say, Booooooooooo.

The legal basis for today's ruling is beyond threadbare.
Rees Mogg opposes abortion completely as a strict Roman Catholic
I don’t agree but I respect that sincere belief honestly held by many in the USA
Trouble is SOME right wingers have hijacked this cause as a way to monster the Left, as they believe the Left is bent on destroying the America they know
It’s a war. Pal.
Search for Lawrence.

I bet he's loving this.
If not, which bits, exactly?
Your crook is so shit that he can't even get through his choice for Commonwealth head.
Indeed plenty of Black Pentecostals and Hispanic Roman Catholics are also pro life and anti abortion
Given this, the rise of the right in France and the conservative voter strike here, its almost as if the West's Overton Window is shifting.
November 2022 is the next litmus test. And boy what a test.
But IANAL, as they say
And women only sort of.
Trump faced a storm of liberal criticism for his picks. He toughed it out. That is what he will claim.
America is discovering this the hard way.
PS Rather disconcertingly, there is also a pork pie factory at Melton, as I recall from trundling through it on the train. But we had plenty of those earlier today (and regularly, of course).
