Michael Gove admits regret at turning on Boris Johnson. Gove flies a new Brexit fairy tale: if he’d not turned on Boris, he could have made Brexit work (defying the laws of economics, we presume). What a conceited awful man he is.

Sea levels at San Diego have risen about six inches over the past 100 years. By 2050, California sea levels are expected to rise between .5 and 1.2 feet, according to a recently released draft of the California Sea Level Rise.
Starting with severe flooding alerts in San Diego. Woke up to hardest rain in 40 years here and dogs are shaking. Whole county under warnings for flooding and rain is coming down hard. This is Not good

Farage confirms he’s glad his (schoolboy) racism has been exposed, that he’s enjoying the electoral kickback it’s given him amongst his racist supporters and expresses absolutely no shame or guilt about it at all.

Racist man. Racist party. Racist voters.

Really, FT?

This is the issue to be on your front page?

Yes, the €460,000 basic salary is a nice one (even if you add the allowances), but is still 10-20 times lower than the bank bosses the ECB regulates.

Instead of taking responsibility the British establishment stripped her of her citizenship and dumped her like old rubbish.
