Now bojo finally is stepping up will [url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Truss[/url] or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Truss - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liz_Truss replace him ? bojo believed he was a reincarnation of Winston Churchill...truss thinks she is a reincarnation of thatcher...Of course we still have "Napoleon" macron in France...maybe someone could tell scholz in Germany that he is German P.M. .... Here in NL rutte still sticking around even most people are totally fed up with him....The US has the "biden-disaster".... The REAL reason that Johnson is being ousted has to do with his government's response to Ukraine, the Sanctions imposed upon Russia, and how those economic sanctions have now backfired on the UK and on Europe as a whole. The Sanctions against Russia are making it impossible for Europe to buy natural gas and without it, their economies cannot continue operating. As gas supplies in storage begin to run out, electric generation will have to shut down, and thus business cannot go on. Unemployment will skyrocket exponentially and countries will collapse. We await the official announcement that Boris Johnson has resigned, and also await word on who is likely to replace him. 6:40 AM EDT, July 7, 2022 - https://twitter.com/dgurdasani1" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: inherit; font: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; text-align: inherit; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer; -webkit-box-align: stretch; -webkit-box-direction: normal; -webkit-box-orient: vertical; align-items: stretch; border: 0px solid black; box-sizing: border-box; display: flex; flex-basis: auto; flex-direction: column; flex-shrink: 1; min-height: 0px; min-width: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; z-index: 0; max-width: 100%; outline-style: none; - https://twitter.com/dgurdasani1" style="background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: inherit; font: inherit; list-style: none; margin: 0px; text-align: inherit; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer; -webkit-box-align: stretch; -webkit-box-direction: normal; -webkit-box-orient: vertical; align-items: stretch; border: 0px solid black; box-sizing: border-box; display: flex; flex-basis: auto; flex-direction: column; flex-shrink: 1; min-height: 0px; min-width: 0px; padding: 0px; position: relative; z-index: 0; max-width: 100%; outline-style: none;" tabindex="-1 - I got a call from BBC Question Time months ago for a pre-interview so they could decide to have me on or not. When asked about Johnson & why I thought he'd failed so badly on pandemic response, I said 'he's a narcissistic sociopath'.... needless to say I didn't get called after! Just reflecting on how obvious that was even at the time, but so few people on the media were willing to say it. This govt should've gone ages ago, if we had a media and opposition that was holding them to account. Lies, lies and more lies right till the end. You didn't deliver the 'fastest vaccine roll out in Europe'. Our pandemic policy was utter failure. You delivered 197,000 covid deaths, 2 million people living with long COVID, mass disruption to society, long-term health & economy. DJ Genocide by pandemic ...bojo should not get away with all his crimes...from the Ukraine war-killing tens-of-thousends of Ukrainians...to "freedom-day" starting a viral-mutation-escalation...

Boris Johnson has announced he will resign, which means there will now be a leadership election to decide who becomes the next Conservative leader and prime minister. They will have to secure the backing of Tory MPs, with the final two candidates going to a ballot of Conservative members. But who are the potential candidates? Remember, most of these MPs and ministers have not yet said whether they want the job of Tory leader and PM - but they are the ones to watch. DJ link has more info on candidates and procedures....bojo stepped down as partyleader...still hoping to stay on as PM till party provides a follow-up in autumn...? (The longer bojo hangs on the more damage he does to the UK....). GO-Go bojo go ! ------------- We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ~Albert Einstein |

Johnson may try to get someone elected who would look worse in office than he did. Liz Truss is a good candidate for that. The process will be, as usual, a very dirty business - knives will be out to backstab certain candidates, deals will be made, favors will be promised and not be hold, people will be lied to. It may be that a new leader will change Britain's political direction towards a more sane one, at least with regard to sanctions: George Szamuely @GeorgeSzamuely - https://twitter.com/GeorgeSzamuely/status/1544995397613101057" style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0); text-decoration: underline; - 10:43 UTC · Jul 7, 2022 Then again we might see more of the same: Boris Johnson @BorisJohnson - https://twitter.com/BorisJohnson/status/1500531719446962182" style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0); text-decoration: underline; - 17:00 UTC · Mar 6, 2022 But I doubt though that we will see any change in the British backing of Ukraine's Zelensky as the pressure to do that comes from Washington DC.

It's all happening in the UK isn't it? I did read an article last night suggesting that Teresa May may be asked to sit in as a caretaker prime minister while the leadership battle gets fought. She's not interested in running for PM herself but she is the most qualified person to step in temporarily as she's a serving, elected member of parliament who has been PM before. ------------- Those who got it wrong, for whatever reason, may feel defensive and retrench into a position that doesn’t accord with the facts. |

Theresa May could not even be the worst choice...Let me be honest-politics is "dirty work" not something I would like to be doing.... Another question several commetators ask; who is next ? Draghi-unelected in Italy...Macron-France..Scholz in Germany, Rutte in NL or Biden in the US...they ALL made a total mess of lots of things... Bojo did not have to go "only" for "party gate", or placing "friends" in high positions they should not be in.... Both CoViD, a worsening healthcrisis, and the economic collapse because of the NATO expansionism wars against Russia are undermining the political elite position... Replacing bad leaders by other bad ones only worsening the -exploding- political crisis the west now is facing... "Our" economic future the coming years may be like "the big depression" after the 1929 financial crash...however since we also have the health (CoViD, aging) crisis and a climate crisis...did live on credit for decades...in fact the perspective for most of the west could be even worse... There is already a foodcrisis, serious water problems...infrastructure breaking up...maintenance costs becoming impossible...So-we had a good time behind us...worse times in front of us... ------------- We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them. ~Albert Einstein |

Could Boris Johnson be tagged as the next Secretary General of NATO? That's what a somewhat surprising new report in https://www.telegraph.co.uk/politics/2022/07/26/boris-johnson-tipped-become-next-secretary-general-nato/" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(20, 112, 178); - Ukrainian and Tory MPs support idea of PM being a possible candidate, though sceptics suggest he would likely be greeted with a French veto." Jens Stoltenberg, who has been NATO chief since 2014, is expected to step down when his current term ends in September 2023. The recently scandal-plagued Johnson, perhaps looking to distract the public and media from the so-called "Partygate" ordeal at home, has already in six months of war visited Ukraine twice - and remains among the most outspoken hawkish Western leaders in frequently voicing condemnation of Russia and Vladimir Putin.

At 12:27 this afternoon, in private, Liz Truss will be told she will be our next prime minister. Rishi Sunak will be told he has lost. Ten minutes later, at 12:37, after a short speech from the Conservative Party Chairman Andrew Stephenson, the Chairman of the Conservative 1922 Committee Sir Graham Brady will publicly announce the result. How can we be so certain of the outcome? There would, after all, be the biggest omelette of all time plastered across the faces of people like me if Sunak were victorious. Well, no one seriously believes the result will be any different. Throughout the summer, Truss has had a commanding lead in the opinion polls. So commanding, even if those polls were a bit wrong, it wouldn't change the outcome. Team Sunak don't dispute this, although some supporters do think his margin of defeat may be narrower than some of those polls have suggested. So what happens next? After the result, we will hear a short speech from Truss. And then at 1pm - in other words about ten minutes later - what was described to me as "onboarding" begins in Downing Street. In other words, Team Truss start turning up to make sure they can log onto computers etc. The prime minister-elect, as Liz Truss will be by then, will have another day to wait until she turns up. Exercise Vigilant Knife, which took place in northern Finland from Aug. 29 to Sept. 2, was intended to further strengthen the interoperability of the three armed forces, the UK https://www.theepochtimes.com/t-ministry-of-defence" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(20, 112, 178); - Ministry of Defence said. UK Defence Secretary https://www.theepochtimes.com/t-ben-wallace" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(20, 112, 178); - Ben Wallace said: “Whilst there is war in Europe, it is more important than ever to strengthen our international partnerships. We welcome Finland and Sweden’s application to join NATO and will continue to exercise together so we are ready to face shared security challenges.
Around 80 British army personnel took part in the exercise, travelling from the island of Santahamina in the south of Finland where they are undertaking a three-month training deployment as part of a security agreement between the UK and Finland. As a light infantry company, British personnel provided anti-tank, sniper, and reconnaissance capabilities to the exercise and were primarily involved in both offensive and defensive actions to test the readiness of the Finnish forces alongside the Swedish unit.

some comments; The foreign secretary has won the contest to become the next Tory party leader – and therefore prime minister – in a ballot of Conservative members. She secured 81,326 votes (57%) to Mr Sunak’s 60,399 (43%). It means she won by a comfortable majority, though it was tighter than some had expected. Ms Truss said it is an “honour to be elected” as she thanked her party for organising “one of the longest job interviews in history”. Liz Truss is known for her strident anti-Russian views. She is a strong advocate of anti-Russian sanctions and the continuation of the war in Ukraine until Russia is defeated. On July 7, when Boris Johnson finally stepped down as Prime Minister of great Britain, I https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/07/bye-bye-boris-i-hope-i-will-never-hear-again-of-you.html" style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0); text-decoration: underline; - wrote :
Liz Truss is less competent than Boris Johnson but at the same level when it comes to lying. She also has no empathy. In the end she will look worse in office than Johnson did. The damage of the Brexit disaster is still getting worse. The energy crunch, caused by the economic war waged against Russia, is tearing the country apart. The British aircraft carrier Prince of Wales, which has no aircraft, https://gcaptain.com/uk-carrier-hms-prince-of-wales-hits-bottom-en-route-to-america/" style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0); text-decoration: underline; - broke a shaft and needs to pull into a drydock. The National Health Service is turning patients away for lack of resources. Truss will worsen all that. But the billionaires and banksters of the City of London will still applause her for lowering their taxes. The first world war in Europe was largely about a declining British empire that feared the upcoming German competitor. It severely damaged the empire. The second world war finished it off. Boris Johnson's Brexit has ruined Britain's real economy by cutting off its European markets. Now Liz Truss will ruin whatever is left of a once great empire.

Jimmy Dore [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkEOyfcoYMM[/url] or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkEOyfcoYMM - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkEOyfcoYMM ; The U.K. has a new Prime Minister and her name is Liz Truss. A member of the Conservative Party, Truss replaces the deposed Boris Johnson but, as a fellow Conservative, promises to perpetuate Johnson’s right-wing policies on issues like police, warmongering and energy. In fact, when asked about her “feelings” surrounding the possibility of nuclear war, Truss insisted that she’s ready to push the button and rain down cataclysmic destruction on the entire planet. Jimmy and America’s comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the new British PM’s cavalier attitude toward effecting global thermonuclear devastation.
