Brexit

[JBS]

"a standard practice"

"brinksmanship"

Todd is right: McCarthy as Speaker will simply do what the GOP did under Obama when it controlled the House; investigate nothingburgers, try to use debt ceiling and budgets as blunt tools, obstruct Biden as much as they can and do as little legislating done as possible so they can make Biden look like a failure.

I don't doubt it. But I object to that being called merely "standard practice" instead of "highly irresponsible and potentially destructive childish performative nonsense"

Is the US politics thread perma-banned? I understand if it is, just asking.

Guys, this is a thread about Brexit.

Given how much American RW rhetoric the Tories and UKIPists have taken over (most recent example: asylum seekers are invaders) some bleedover is bound to occur.

BTW is UKIP still a thing? Or have Farage and friends all rolled back into the Conservatives?

Dead on the vine. Farage did have a spell on "talk" radio but that came to an end. I did hear that he suffers back pain brought about by being a passenger in a light aeroplane that crashed.

Last time I heard of/saw Nigel Farage was when he interviewed Novak Djokovic in Belgrade immediately after the Australian Open scandal. I've also heard / read that he actually relocated in France but I don't know iwhether it's true.

OK, so he's accustomed to crashes.
