The passage of time in Wellington and elsewhere
Just announced that there will be an election on December 12th. First December election for nearly 100 years.
BJ does not want parliamentary scrutiny of his agreement so an election instead. Tories confident of a win given their lead in the polls but that was the case last time!
The political division continues with the right wing finding a plot under every bed.
The country is going to the dogs as they say with the lies and brutality of politics reaching fever pitch.
Conservative party conference is on at the moment so the intensity has been ramped up.
‘Get Brexit done’ is the rallying call. Whatever that is meant to mean. As ever as complex reality translated into a simple but meaningless buzz phrase.

Trump in France for G7
Johnson became PM today. More of that in another post.
A John Crace special on hand over day as May has her last PMQs. Great quote:
Earlier in the day May had taken her last prime minister’s questions. Almost a greatest hits show. Yes, it really was that unmemorable other than for Tory MPs, led by Jacob Rees-Mogg, who had spent much of the last year trying to get rid of her, praising her sense of public service. The insincerity was shameless. On days like this, Westminster can resemble a sewer.
The procession continues for BJ.
He is incompetent and continues to lie and say all things to all people. Anything for a vote.
His victory is expected. Hunt has tried to emulate him by appearing more right wing, and intolerant but just looks like he is just bending in the wind.
To quote Fraser in Dad’s Army-We’re all doomed!
Clearly who reports it is the most important thing and their political leanings, and certainly, the political leanings of the media outlet.
