Charlie Falconer is out...
Of Wimbledon. Just Murray and May left in to keep GB flag flying,

1) Boris Johnson. Hahahaha. I've always like BoJo as a character, but his political machinations have meant I could not supprt him politically (see my comments over the last couple of years). I often feel a little sorry for people whose politcal ambitions come crashing down: at least they've had the courage to try, which is more than I can say about myself. In this case, I don't fee sorry one bit.
Hahahahahaha.
2) A slightly altered version of something a friend posted on FB this morning, now sadly slightly out of date: "An Eagle, a Crab and a Fox are standing for elections. Sadly, there May be a Hunt coming after them."
3) Very off-topic: My sister flew out to Sweden for the day yesterday to go wild boar shooting in a cinema with live ammunition. As an example:

The images are projected onto a large roll of paper, and infrared cameras detect when/where a bullet hits and freezes the projection and shows where you hit.
It looks great fun, and no animals were hurt.
4) Does anyone believe this isn't a cover-up?
"Chakrabarti inquiry: Labour not overrun by anti-Semitism"
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36672022
Told Milne is the only one now standing between Corbyn and resignation.
Maybe he was never very happy at the Guardian.
foreign criminals allowed to remain in the UK ,appalling deterioration in security and standards in the Prison service, snoopers charter,knee jerk and inconsistent reactions on banning people from the UK etc .I just cannot believe the Tory rank and file will go for her with all this baggage.
Mein Kopf tut weh.

Remember how Jan Royall's report was supposed to be published with Chakrabarti? No sign of it.
Labour talk of pressure on Clive Lewis to run from that wing of the party if Jeremy Corbyn's persuaded/allowed to stand down
Chaos is a ladder.
Many who try to climb it fail and never get to try again.
The fall breaks them.
And some are given a chance to climb, but they refuse.
They cling to the realm or the gods or love.
Illusions.
Only the ladder is real.
The climb is all there is.
We are living Game of Thrones.
While Boris led from the front during the referendum campaign, travelled the country working 14 hrs a day, week after week, where was May?
Was Smeeth a loyalist? (i.e. not part of the rebellion)
Told Labour press officers saying they will not work future Corbyn events.
Labour press office mutiny.
Part of that survival is down to Cameron's reluctance to reshuffle, but much of it must be down to her own skills.
The fact she's served in that position for so long, and wants more power, says there's some iron in her spine.
... I'm sure I'm not the only one having a wry smile over a 'what does the market predict' thread. It's almost as much a kiss of death as getting Eddie Izzard's support.
The more I consider her - the more I don't trust her. She's been playing silly buggers for months and months. Her anti-immigration speech was a clear leadership bid way back when, then she jumped to Remain. It's all too much of a game re her career.
I can write-off some triangulation/positioning - but she's far too inconsistent.

Just realised there may not be a GE til 2020 now.
Corbyn is on the verge of quitting. He's having a breakdown. He's 60-something. The ISIS Israel thing, eeek.
So he goes. Labour get a decent leader who campaigns on REMAIN and renegotiate. In that situation LABOUR could get millions and millions of scared REMAIN voters, taking dozens of Tory seats (as Tories would be saying OUT), the last Lib Dem seats, maybe some SNP seats (as people so scared of leaving EU). Yes Labour would lose seats by the dozen to UKIP, but it won't matter if they get 10m REMAIN voters.
In that light, the Tories simply won't call an election, citing FTPA.
The question would be would there be any rolling back in the next few months, assuming article 50 is not declared soon, which would given an opportunity to Remain after all. Something significant would have to change to make that viable, where it is not now.
I would back at almost any odds that that will not happen, it requires too much contrivance and coincidental occurrences lining up, but everyone now needs to appear on board with leaving even if they were remainers,so they can survive long enough to take advantage should the improbable occur and an opportunity to remain after all emerges.
"I was verbally attacked by a Momentum activist and Jeremy Corbyn supporter who used traditional antisemitic slurs to attack me for being part of a ‘media conspiracy’. It is beyond belief that someone could come to the launch of a report on antisemitism in the Labour Party and espouse such vile conspiracy theories about Jewish people, which were ironically highlighted as such in Ms [Shami] Chakrabarti’s report, while the leader of my own party stood by and did absolutely nothing."
BBC – Labour ‘not overrun by anti-Semitism’
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-36672022
If it had been ant other party would we have a headline like that?
GE win by Back into EU Party = 11m voters. Call it 13m..or 15m.
Leave = 17.5m voters.
?
The next eighteen months will be spent lining up the replacement deals with the rest of the world and using them as insurance/leverage with the EU.
However, her pro Brexit speech this morning allayed some of my fears even if it is politicking.
I thought Boris was piss poor the morning after victory. It looked like a funeral procession: completely failed to grasp the moment and in so doing probably revealed his true nature.
It's a good field though goodness knows how Liam Fox doesn't understand his own hubris.
So both parties seek to elect a Remainer as leader.
The membership have spoken on Corbyn...
So the MP's that didn't want him in the first place force him out.
Democracy eh?
- Guardian
The thing is, Corbyn might actually do quite well on Chilcot. For once, it's a subject he'll know well, be in tune with the public on and can take a battering ram to the Blairites. That will not only motivate his base but probably cause a few waverers to give him a bit more time "now that he's shown us what he can do". Of course, he could fluff it too, drone on for too long and wander off topic on to nuclear weapons, Syria or more contentious ground.
Still, at this rate the Tory leadership contest will be over before Labour's has begun.
Tory bloodbath until the referendum. Labour bloodbath since then, until this morning when Gove assassinated Boris. Jezza tries to blow his own head off over Israel/IS leaving just Milne propping up the still twitching political corpse.
And next week we have the relative calm of two rounds of Tory Leadership votes, probably Labour leadership hustings, more "WHATTHEFUCKDOWEDONOW" action on the EU. And of course the Chilcott Enquiry.
And to think some people wanted me to vote Remain. And miss all this?
May 50% (55%)
Gove 40% (20%)
Leadsom/Crabb/Fox 10% (25%)
Value is on Gove.
So a state educated Tory Prime Minister. Good.
She squeaks "But I'm Jewish!" [did anyone know or care?] and because Corbyn didn't "intervene" in some ruck going on in the audience, he's now AntiSemite-in-Chief.
Total crock.
Mind you, I think many of us will be doing the same.
