Today I set out my vision for sensible, pragmatic, One Nation Conservatism. We must deliver Brexit by Oct 31st, restore faith in our democracy, and support the wealth creators that fund our vital public services. Together, we will succeed > https://t.co/tGRXu94CmT pic.twitter.com/x9HfKOP0Qu

It pays to propagandise.
He has made almost £700,000 in speeches and columns – many extolling factually incorrect statements on Brexit – since leaving office as Foreign Secretary less than a year ago. https://t.co/7Roxqz0Pk7

The chief cause for celebrating Johnson’s probable triumph seems to be the discomfort it brings to people perceived as being on the ‘other side’. Like Brexit, people desperate for the country not to hurt herself are now the reason other people want the country to hurt herself.

Sir John Major on proroguing Commons to enforce Brexit:"I don't think anybody who proposes that or even lets that flip through their mind for a second has any understanding of what parliament is about, what sovereignty is about, what leadership is about or what the UK is about".

Soon we’ll have a PM that Scotland didn’t vote for at the head of a Government we didn’t vote for, hell-bent on delivering a Brexit we didn’t vote for.

Sarah Sanders presided over the destruction of one of the grand stages of the American presidency, and one of the great platforms for the projection of United States power: the White House briefing room. Was this a rational act?

I'm not going to believe that Sarah Huckabee Sanders is leaving as White House press secretary until she denies it herself.

It’s almost like it’s an institution captured by a cult that needs consistent opposition at all levels.
(Also, it is to our national shame that we would even have to think about legislating this, instead of assuming that patriotic Americans would just do it.) https://t.co/HpLKDTdhj6— Tom Nichols (@RadioFreeTom) June 13, 2019
