The campaign for the General Election in the United Kingdom has formally commenced today. The Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, attended Her Majesty the Queen today to request the dissolution of Parliament for the purpose of an election. That request was granted, so for the next five weeks it's going to be election news all the way. On December 13th, Brexit will return to the top of the agenda. The main political parties are having a stumbling start at it, with the Conservatives bothered with a minister shooting his mouth of and another minister seeming to be embroiled with someone who wrecked a rape trial. I despair of Labour, who appear to be condoning the break-up of the United Kingdom. They would be prepared to grant the Scottish Government a Section 30 order, to enable a referendum on independence to be held. The Lib Dems are in cloud cuckoo land, by thinking they could be the party of government. Coming from just 20 seats (out of 650) to 313? C'mon, Jo Swinson, get real. Oh, she is the leader of the Lib Dems. One day down, 35 to go. Groan.
