The Conservative MP Charlie Elphicke has been charged with three counts of sexual assault relating to two women, prosecutors have said.

Not another perv? FFS! The Tory Party is riddled with them.

Is he the same guy who was suspended by the Tories then reinstated to prop up Motherless Teresa in the no confidence vote?

Not sure. There are so many it's hard to keep tabs on them all. Dirty bastards.

Ain’t that the truth.

Sir Alan Duncan resigns. His Twitter feed contains a wonderful response from Julian Assange’s mother.

I'm sensing the few Tories who value democracy are set to bring him down ASAP.

This buffoon is like milk stored in the door of a fridge - he has a limited shelf life.

Of the party leaders elected yesterday I think it is obvious that one is going to be the key to the next election and she is already setting out red-lines on who she will work with.

Anne Milton resigns. Tories in turmoil.

[Admin]

Boris wins in the least surprising election result ever. Apparently we're all going to be energised with a "can do" spirit.

Feck that - I'm off on holiday for 3 weeks. Christ alone knows what type of Britain I'll return to.

[Proposition Joe]

Anne Milton resigns. Tories in turmoil.

Doubt even her constituents know who she is.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

What a state of a country.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Theres that Multi-Universe theory where theres an infinite amount of worlds that split off with every single decision thats made, where every possible outcome becomes reality. We are living in one of the strangest ones.

[one o in huntingdon]

I'm off on holiday to Germany tomorrow, decent beer and food, people seem to enjoy life much more too

So we’re all lumbered with the Poundshop Churchill. Anyone who knows more history than Winnie’s ww2 soundbites will know what a useless (and unsavoury) peacetime politician he was. Hopefully we wont be stuck with Johnson the Buffoon for quite so long, mind...

I liked this scathing commentariat piece by Gary Younge:

The rise of Boris Johnson was only really ever improbable if you were under the delusion that we live in a meritocracy. We don’t. This is the class system in action – propelling confident, incompetent, posh white men to the top regardless of their abilities, record or character. That is the system that produced and sustained him, and that is the system in whose interests he will govern.

His ascent is, of course, a catastrophe for the country. Whether he’s sucking up to Donald Trump, lying about kippers or insulting allies and enemies alike, he is a liability. That the Conservative parliamentary party is in effect at one with the membership on his premiership signals how deep the rot has set in. Where the Tories are concerned, this is not a putsch or a coup – it’s a wholesale makeover and takeover. They have nowhere else to go. And if they go down they’re determined to take the rest of us with them.

There is nothing to celebrate in this moment but the symmetry. The leave campaign had no more plans for leaving the European Union than a dog chasing a car has to drive it. Now its most prominent spokesman is in charge of making it happen. For the past three years they have been able to claim that only if a true believer were in charge everything would be different. With Johnson in charge they are running out of people to blame for the situation they created. That, of course, will not stop them. But it does expose them.

When Theresa May produced her agreement, Johnson said it was like polishing a turd. He was right. He just failed to acknowledge that it was his turd. Now he finds himself with an unfamiliar task for a man of his pedigree – to clean up after himself.

Now, I don't know whether I am reading too much into this, but in his speech this morning, did Boris say that Jeremy was the font of something or other? Now, Boris is a bit of a dab hand at lingos as are most of his ilk. In French " fente " ( pronounced font ) means a slit- you see where I am coming from?

[Clive Evans]

He said a font of excellent ideas

[Forty-Niner]

He said a font of excellent ideas

Correct and this was the first of what will surely be many mistakes since winning.
A font is a stone basin for holding baptismal water or a receptacle for holy water.
What he actually meant was fount which is a source.
We expect better from former Bullingdon Boys.
