Indeed - try Dexys instead* if you want to keep your chin up.

"Boris Johnson has said he sees ?no reason? to withdraw Donald?s Trump state visit..."

Johnson sees no reason - ever..!

He's just an obnoxious Bullingdon yob...

Should eff off to US where he belongs...

Goodness me, a post from Lordship 516 I could understand.

Keeping an eye on the live feed of the Comey hearing...no definite evidence of wrongdoing as yet (plenty of circumstantial, much seems to hinge on whether saying "I hope you can drop the investigation" was the expression of a personal hope or a veiled order) - pretty extraordinary statement from Comey though that although he never kept notes of his meetings with Obama or Bush he did with Trump because "I was honestly concerned that he might lie about the nature of our meeting."

[steveo]

He will if he needs to

[red devil]

Lordy I hope there are tapes... :)

[titch juicy]

It's making fascinating listening.

[red devil]

Comey hasn't answered certain questions because it's an open session, so when he answers in the later closed session and it proves to be a grenade right up Trumpy's backside, what happens then?...

[steveo]

I don't know if I might miss Trump when he is gone.

I'm quite enjoying watching him go insane.

Know what you mean but I'd sooner watch him go insane a little further away from the button - terrifying interview on PM last year with the guy who co-wrote The Art of the Deal with him, "Trump would be quite capable of starting a nuclear war just because he thought he wasn't being shown enough respect."

[JoeLeg]

I'm quite convinced the Republican Party has him firmly under control. I believe they already have a dossier that would sink him; there's no way they would allow him to even slightly undermine their plans. Power rests inside the beltway and Trump has learned that, if he starts to leave the reservation they'll deal with him, one way or another.

Sean Spicer has flounced.

I liked Spicer

But even D T stopped believing him

I like the parting shot ?Yeah, let me go, though, because I?ve gotta start tweeting some shit to make this guy crazy.?

Great interview by Emily on newsnight of Scaramanga (maybe the late Chistopher Lee would have done a better job of press secretary.

The Mash Report last night: "Scaramucci - a man who looks like every single 80's movie baddie."

America's Director of Communications latest tweet:

"I made a mistake in trusting in a reporter. It won't happen again." after ringing up New Yorker magazine and talking to a journalist.

[Loz]

And he's gone!

[JoeLeg]

And slowly but surely the Republican Party reminds Trump that they own his arse.

[Seabag]

I was starting to like him, in a kind of "I really don't like you" kind of way

He didn't look so cool without his glasses, and he looked like he'd been crying too.

Pah, plastic baddies just havn't got it theses days.

Next?

[JoeLeg]

John Kelly has been bought in to be a proper Leo McGarry, no doubt. He looks like he'd eat your eyeballs without breaking a sweat.
