If that happens, he will invoke The Insurrection Act of 1807, declare martial law and remain in office ad infinitum.

No elections. No jail time.

Trump is escalating his assault on American cities. His attempt to deploy National Guard troops to Portland and Chicago are unbelievably frightening.

But they’re also a sign that Trump knows he’s rapidly losing time and popular support.

I always wanted the Tories to get wiped out but not replaced by something much worse.

No need. Everything in the open, lad.
The worst that can happen is that you get a dig off Big Brian.
That's a badge of honour.

The civil war has begun. Yield or fight.

It's your choice.

Pour yourself a large brandy, Brian. I know I have.
