It just keeps going sideways over there…
Theresa May promised to relinquish the leadership of the Conservative Party once Britain’s divorce from the European Union is seen through, MPs emerging from a packed parliamentary meeting said Wednesday.
But according to three MPs, May gave no date when she would step aside. At a private meeting of Tory MPs in parliament, the U.K. prime minister said she would not stay in place for the second phase of the Brexit negotiations, when Britain’s future relationship with the EU will be negotiated.
“I have heard very clearly the mood of the parliamentary party. I know there is a desire for a new approach – and new leadership – in the second phase of the Brexit negotiations – and I won’t stand in the way of that,” she told her MPs, according to remarks briefed to journalists following the private meeting.
“I know some people are worried that if you vote for the Withdrawal Agreement, I will take that as a mandate to rush on into phase two without the debate we need to have. I won’t. I hear what you are saying. But we need to get the deal through and deliver Brexit.”
May pleaded with her colleagues to back the deal she negotiated with the EU in November that has been rejected twice by the House of Commons so they could complete what she called their “historic duty” to deliver on Brexit.
“I am prepared to leave this job earlier than I intended in order to do what is right for our country and our party,” she said…..

Days ahead of a visit to the United Kingdom and France, Donald Trump is already breaching protocol, supporting Boris Johnson to be the next British prime minister, and taking a dig at Emmanuel Macron.
“I think Boris would do a very good job. I think he would be excellent… I think he is a very good guy, a very talented person,” Trump said…

An American President that continues to work to break up international alliances….
Something his buddy Putin HAS to be VERY happy about…
(If other countries could vote in next Novembers elections Biden would win by a lanslide)
No doubt Nigel Farage of the Brexit Party (formely of UKIP), whom Trump suggested would be a good U.K. ambassador to the U.S., now feels crushed.
¶ And D-Day, whose 75th anniversary the President is helping to celebrate in Normandy this week, was both by itself and as the fruit of years of working or fighting together in a multilateral framework.
Utah and Omaha Beaches were stormed by GI’s, but the other three beachheads (Juno, Sword and Neptune) were taken by U.S., British and Canadian forces, together with units from a wide range of countries, both in the British Empire and represented by the exile governments of Occupied Europe.
The United Nations, long before the San Francisco Charter of October 1945, was the name used to denote all the many countries fighting the Axis.
And Donald Trump couldn’t give a rats ass about the help and lives offered….
Nor does he care about after 9/11 and the subsequent military actions this country got help from…
He is ‘one way’….
Alliances are only ones where he gets paid for the help and the ‘brand’
The fucked up part is that 40% or so ofAmericans support the guy and his party’s lawmakers have no balls..
Here’s a list of the countries involved in D-Day. I think the Canadians suffered great casualties.
“The main countries involved in D-Day on the side of the Allies were the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada.
“There were also troops from Australia, Belgium, Czechoslovakia, France, Greece, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway and Poland.
“The only country in the Axis Powers to participate in the battle was Germany.”

They have all suffered losses standing by America…
Again?
Even while goes to Europe for D-Day?
He doesn’t give a shit…..
His motto…”pay me”….
How much will you pay me?
Say the bells of Old Bailey.
How much do I owe?
Say the sad bells of Bow.
He, he, he…
‘Won’t you come home Bill Bailey….
Won’t you come home?’
