Wow, that didn’t take long:

Can the UK Tories find an actual … conservative as their leader?!?
On Friday another aide followed…
When the great 19th-century Tory leader, Benjamin Disraeli, came to his friend (and fellow-novelist) Edward Bulwer-Lytton and asked for his political support in a forthcoming parliamentary debate, Lytton said: “Well, I will support you if you’re right.”
“That’s no use to me,” responded Dizzy. “Anyone can support me when I’m right. What I want is people who will support me when I’m wrong.”
That’s the unenviable position in which the U.K. prime minister Boris Johnson finds himself today. He is seeking support from MPs in his own Tory party when he’s in the wrong. And not just mildly, mistakenly, accidentally, or partly in the wrong, but massively, seriously, undeniably, and stonkingly in the wrong.
It’s John O’Sullivan, just keep reading.
Dear Media, Politicians, Public Health Officials, and Other Elites,
We don’t believe you any more. About anything.
It’s entirely your fault why we don’t.

Repugnant moron – Allegedly this lawyer
British voters’ attitudes are hardening against the European Union in the wake of the clashes between London and Brussels over coronavirus vaccines that have marked the 100 days since the U.K. completed its divorce from the bloc.
A new Bloomberg poll shows support for Brexit has grown since the historic 2016 referendum, and almost two-thirds of adults believe that being outside the EU helped the U.K.’s vaccination program to succeed.
Laurence Fox happened to say something mildly controversial on the BBC last year — and suddenly found himself a victim of cancel culture. Instead of retreating or apologizing, Fox made the unusual choice to not just rebel but to do it in the most public way possible: by running for mayor of London.
Actor Laurence Fox is standing for election as Mayor of London. Quite what chance he’ll have against the brutal election machine of incumbent Sadiq Khan is hard to say. But even if Fox doesn’t succeed it will have been worth it just for this brilliant, inspirational campaign video.
It’s Delingpole, so read it all.
Four and a half years after the momentous vote in June 2016, Brexit is finally and fully accomplished with a U.K.–EU trade deal that sailed through Parliament 521 to 73.
It’s over.
Those British people who lived through WW2 must be rolling in their graves about what their descendants have devolved into.
If you think there’s something they’re not telling us, you’re not alone: Boris Johnson tested negative for coronavirus before hospital release
BBC: Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been moved to intensive care in hospital after his coronavirus symptoms “worsened”, Downing Street has said.
This evening we present you an in-depth post-Brexit analysis by Nigel Farage, on German TV no less. If you’d like something more musically oriented, here’s a live rendition of 99 Luftballons.
Please do share your best tips from the past 24 hours. Danke.
It’s truly amazing what drama queens the losers of #Brexit are.
Directly related: This is the IPSOS Mori poll mentioned in the video. Is it much of a stretch to imagine that Liberals & NDP’ers in Canada and Democrats in America would similarly be the least tolerant people in society?
Today we congratulate and celebrate with our many friends & family in the United Kingdom. Kudos on a job well done!
Feel free to share in the joy via these webcams.

“You may loathe populism but I’ll tell you a funny thing – it’s becoming very popular.”
It's globalism vs populism, let's hope Brexit starts a debate across Europe.#Farage's final speech to the #EU parliament is a barnstormer and they really really didn't like it.
Wave the flag!#Brexit🇬🇧pic.twitter.com/u74Mr1C5Op
