To be fair, John Cleese has been a Brexity racist for many years.
This is just one example from 2019, but there are many more.

I really don't care either way.
He left Tories because he wanted power and influence (via HoL). You reckon he is going to say 'oh well, that's ok ' being beaten by Jenrick???

Suspect the whole tax fraud thing did for him. You can be as racist as you like on the Reform front bench (indeed the more racist the better), but you can't look be a proven corrupt tax dodger.
What about Zahawi. He was the actual chancellor, and he still gets beaten by Honest Bob to the job.

Reform UK will try to frame May as yet another breakthrough.
Whether that happens depends on whether they’re challenged properly, wherever they show up.

So corp tax breaks, legal tax dodges on dividends, & significant CGT & IHT breaks on capital gains, & passing on the business, aren't enough?
How do they think the rest of us feel having our knowledge & labour exploited for a relative pittance.
Maybe these whiners should do something else instead.

You've appointed Tories to your top team. Why should people believe your party is any different?
Farage: "These were two people who were ministers, but frankly weren't ministers for very long".
Suella Braverman was a minister for over 4 years.
Robert Jenrick was a minister for almost 5 years.

'A terminally ill person being coerced' - that is not an in-built feature, indeed it has never been adequately explained how that would even happen under England's plans.

It's not bizarre. The opponents of assisted dying consistently conflate is 'I don't agree with this person's free choice', 'I think this free choice was co-erced' with 'this choice was a mistake', but that is not a convincing argument to most people.

Can very easily design out coercion by for instance, saying that you have to set out end of life wishes far in advance and that you can't choose an assisted death unless you choose to do so far in advance. Can't design out mistaken verdicts in the criminal justice system.

We know Melanie Phillips is an out & out Muslim hater, but people often forget she is also a credulous fool & terrible journalist. During her lengthy spell at the Daily Mail, among her many sins, was the promotion of anti MMR vaccine lies, & repeated support for the disgraced Andrew Wakefield.

And this is also necessary because there are member states, Hungary in particular, that are more inclined to support Putin and Trump's far right US than their EU partners.
That is a clear and present threat to Europe's defence against Russia and the US.

My short commentary on the instrument of a 'multi-speed Europe' gaining traction again.
The starting point is impatience: In a world in flux, the EU can’t afford endless vetoes and lowest-common-denominator outcomes. Expect more coalitions of willing states to emerge.

I see #r4today has taken to providing free PR for the racist Lionel Shriver's new (very racist) book.
Why?
Is it to prove that the BBC offers a "balanced" and "impartial" view of the debate about whether racism is a good or bad thing?

This will end one of two ways.
Either the likes of Steve Laws, Charlie Downes & Nigel Farage win, and we have a fascist, "blood and soil", state with all that implies or we force them back into the dark corners of shame from which they arose.
There can be no middle road.
