Bad boys of Brexit: where are they now?

This is what became of prime movers Boris Johnson, Dominic Cummings, Nigel Farage, Arron Banks and Andy Wigmore

The (political) elephant in the room: the electorate is coming to understand that they were misled, lied to & conned about #Brexit, but the main political parties (running scarred of the rabid right press) will not address the issue - there may be no simple answer to #BrexitReality but not talking about it at all is helping no-one.

Will 2023 be the year we (finally( have a reasonable discussion about out (future) relations with the #EU?

I'm not holding my breath

While Democrats just unanimously voted for railroad workers, 207 out of 210 Republicans voted NO on 7 days paid sick time for railroad workers.

Even though billionaire railroad corps enjoy ~15% profit increase this year, spent $26.5B on stock buybacks & dividends, & previously provided 0 paid sick days—the GOP still sided with them over workers. What a disgrace.

Stop this war on working Americans. Vote GOP Out.

The result of the Oath Keepers trial on seditious conspiracy charges was unusual in part because indictments against White guys and right-wingers don’t usually result in convictions.

Obviously the further up the food chain you go, the harder the cases get, all other things being equal.

But so far, DOJ is showing it can make these cases.
