News and olds...
Aug. 16th, 2019 10:04 amThis graced my reading this morning:
www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/aug/15/lib-dems-urged-to-back-corbyn-as-interim-pm-to-stop-no-deal-brexit
I guess if Corbyn can get the necessary eight Tory MPs to support him I think the LibDems are honour-bound to join in an anti-Brexit coalition. If not, he is honour-bound to step aside for a figure who can command the required majority.
And if he steps aside for the good of the nation Corbyn will be a bigger figure for it, and acquire a great deal more gravitas and weight in any subsequent election... if he plays it right.
And then I saw this which makes me wonder about how quickly we forget other things:

I thought the Don has cleared all of this up? Or will. Or something.
Which leads me to I wonder; have there been fewer or more NK missile tests under Trump or under Obama? In total and on an annual count? Averaged, with median points etc. Oh well. I guess we will all find out if current policy fails.
