I know, the antisemitic accusation has no relevance, other than a lame smear tactic against a Corbyn supporting website.

I suppose I understand that line of thinking, just everytime I see it it's like there's some disconnect.

So? I'm failing to see the problem of a) having doubts and b) this undermining his views.

Supposedly it's being replaced by a department of infrastructure.

Conor Burns claims May's government is the return of "proper, serious politics".

I wonder if he's heard about Johnson's appointment yet.

Where did you get this rumour? I really don't understand why she'd close those departments either.

A lot of Tories seem to believe in the sanctity of marriage.

Apparently Boris hates Trump.

Random factoid I found while reading some of the thesis length articles folks are posting here.

Probably just being ironic.

I was only joking about the Maytrain thing. I was hoping to be proven wrong.

Well, BIS isn't being closed, it's being turned into Business, Energy and Industry, and is therefore replacing both BIS and DECC.
