pound sterling has become more unstable than Bitcoin following Brexit lmao
Nigel Farage the leader of UKIP stood down saying he ‘Wants his life back’ after campaigning hard for us to leave the EU and getting our country back. He is ranked 747th out of 751 for attendance. UKIPs only MP Douglas Carswell (That’s right, Farage isn’t even an elected MP) subtweeted an emoji with sunglasses in response
Boris Johnson ruled himself out of being Prime Minister. That’s right. That dude with the hair who was so pro Brexit bottled it
So the Tory party were looking for their new leader and PM which would probably happen in September
BUT THIS IS BRITISH POLITICS
so we actually have had a leadership contest which lasted about a week and everyone dropped out (Except Michael Gove who no one likes) including Andrea Leadsom this morning who said she was a better bet for PM because she’s a mum and Theresa May is childless
Yeah
So there was a twitter hashtag and the media went nuts and Andrea couldn’t take it so pulled out
So Theresa May is probably???? our new PM??? We’re not even sure
Also the Labour Party (You know that coup that was going on?) is gonna have a leadership contest between Jeremy Corbyn and Angela Eagle and maybe others with the possibility of a snap General Election at some point..
While all this has being going on the Chilcot report (hella long report which took a long time) basically said that our ex PM Tony Blair got us in to war in Iraq illegally and the guy is gonna get taken to court by families of soldiers that died at the very least
we literally need a ‘previously on…’ montage every day in this country
Ok so since this morning
Current (but outgoing) PM David Cameron has confirmed he’s leaving asap and Theresa May will be our new PM by Wednesday evening
His very short statement ended with him saying ‘Thank you very much’ then turning to walk back to Number Ten saying ‘Doo doo doo doo. Right. Good’
Earlier today, Jo Cox, a Labour MP in Northern England, was stabbed and shot at an event in a library.
It has just been confirmed that she has died due to the attack.
She was a great campaigner and humanitarian, and has left behind a husband and two children.
This kind of event happens rarely in the UK, and so this is terrifying and destabilising that such a horrific thing has happened to such a compassionate person.
Can thoughts on Tumblr turn to the UK today please, and turn to remember a woman who has been brutally murdered after a lifetime of trying to build a better country.
Guys, I’m begging you to reblog this
Jo Cox was a representative, and she was shot while meeting with her constituents.
She has been very vocally advocating for Syrian refugees to enter Britain, and was shot by a man who allegedly shouted “Britain first” several times.
She died within an hour.
<b>Please give her death and life the attention it deserves.
We love only two things in this world: Netflix binges and Harry Potter. @vitoriabas has combined the two, and for that WE ARE FOREVER IN HER DEBT. Check out 10 of her hilarious illos here, then head to SparkLife to see all 13!
PS. WE’RE NOT CRYING OVER REGULUS, YOU’RE CRYING OVER REGULUS.
