Seriously considered opening bottle of champagne. Settled for white wine as the rest of the Tories are still there.

Thank god the U.K. has one fewer evil imperialist.

Is this a last-minute reprieve, or just political theater? If the former, why the fuck have so many people had to die, and live, in fear?

Well, it's already come out his replacement has a background in a gay cure cult, and that kind of Christian rarely has positive views about disability. So I'm not holding my breath for an improvement.

And the Tories are all "we've kicked the cut into the long grass", but that's only this week's cut. Last week's 30% cut in the benefit paid to out of work disabled people is still going ahead.
