The Damning Inspector General’s Report
It is hard to believe that the run-up to the presidential-election year has plumbed such a depth of farcical degradation.

Well . . . .
So much for my prophecies of doom. Britain's Conservatives won, and they won with a very healthy parliamentary majority, breaking through Labour’s “red wall” across the industrial (and post-industrial) Midlands and the North.
