Boris Johnson: "Keir Starmer has made us an irrelevance on the world stage..."
Eternal rest grant unto him o Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace . Amen.
Save the date: the Icelandic government is proposing to hold a referendum on 29 August on whether the country should restart talks to join the European Union.

I point out that the official position of His Majesty's Opposition is:
1) yup. We're totally up for this.
2) legality is for sissies.
As the PM noted, moments like this are the proving of a Leader of the Opposition.
And Kemi Badenoch has proved how deep she is in Trump's pocket.
It would take a heart of stone
