Most tory governments are a shitshow across the board and having any redeeming qualities at all is a novelty.
I think we're going to see a No deal brexit, followed by a Johnson landslide. At that point Corbyn will resign and we'll have a debate over the new path to take.
Labour and the Liberals will spend more time fighting eachother than Johnson for a long while, until his supporters realize he is basically a neoliberal type and you see a right wing revolt.

Only good thing to come out of that imo would be us leaving and joining the republic.

In any case it's not exactly a first for America to involve itself in morally dubious efforts (regime change or otherwise) in other countries. Obama had Merkel's phone tapped... My point is more that a US Secretary of State wouldn't have made such comments even five years ago. The UK's international power is nosediving, this is just one indication of that

Rory Stewart and Matt Hancock narrowly avoid being eliminated.
Boris Johnson way ahead at over 100, 2nd place Hunt at 43.
Very disappointing for Raab - only 23.

Johnson is the compromise candidate. Let that sink in.

You know. Terry Pratchett dedicated his later years to advocating for the legalization of assisted suicide in the UK. Now, of course he was talking about assisted suicide for individual human beings, but I'm sure he'd appreciate it if we expanded that to political parties.
