I don't usually talk politics on this blog, but today should really be a day of national mourning in the UK. Racist, islamophobic, mendacious, disingenuous bumbling buffoon de Pfeffel Johnson has been selected as the nation's Chief Clown.

My only hope is he loses a vote of no confidence, we get a general election with the remain parties forming an alliance and this whole sorry mess can be over and done with. Of course, despite the open goal, our Red Brexiteer Corbyn could well throw the election. Britain is a sorry mess.

On the other hand, if this is what it takes to end Bozo and the Tories once and for all, then maybe it's all been worth it. The tory majority is already hanging by a very fine thread, backbench rebels are going to be a massive headache for our Glorious Leader and the whole thing could be entertaining to watch. If it destroys Nigel Farrij's political career at the same time, even better.
