Anyone who votes for him votes thinking he'll keep his promises should have been paying more attention. And that goes for the ERG zealots as much as the general public.
Tried to show @BorisJohnson the picture of Jack Williment-Barr. The 4-year-old with suspected pneumonia forced to lie on a pile of coats on the floor of a Leeds hospital.
We're past dog-whistling now aren't we? Are those Britons who aren't white not really British?
"Every single one of our candidates has signed up to this deal - they haven’t been dragooned, they haven’t been lobotomised."

We haven't had a book thread for a while so for a change of mood on the book what are the best books anyone has read this year? It doesn't matter when published.
- Chernobyl, Serhii Plokhy. An excellent, readable account of the disaster. Gripping but without the over the top dramatisation of the TV series.
- Arnhem, Anony Beevor. Not exactly a revisionist account as it has long been clear the battle wasn't heroic failure but a clusterfuk of personal vanity and exceptionally optimistic planning. Montgomery and Browning failed their men before the operation was even launched. And yet, the individual bravery shown comes across in the minutiae of battle which Beevor's best books specialise in.
Genuinely, take a few minutes to reflect on the bravery and good in people.

Corbyn claiming he has leaked documents which detail how thew UK intends to accept US demands.
Says the documents chart seven rounds of negotiations from 2017 to a few months ago. Says some elements of the discussions have already been concluded.
We need a commitment to transparency and scrutiny of trade deals. We don't yet have any such thing, and until we do, suspicion of trade deals will continue. No 'off the table' type language works without a commitment to scrutiny.
