In other news, Farage is stepping down as the leader of UKIP... again. I wonder how long he'll let it stick this time before 'reluctantly' coming back.
Probably when it turns out that we can't trade freely with the EU without accepting the free movement of people.

Given how hard he pushed for Brexit, I'm surprised he's stepping down. Unless he didn't really want Brexit to happen but just wanted to further his own political gain.

Ukip councillor: ‘Time to start killing’ Remain voters

A Ukip councillor who said it was “time to kill” voters who opted to remain in last month’s European Union on Facebook says his comments were meant to be “taken with a pinch of salt”.

The comments were made by Terence Nathan, Ukip councillor for Cray Valley West, who seconded his party’s motion back in February to leave the EU.

You have to wonder how much of this could have been avoided even if Cameron hadn't just been a useless negotiator a few months back, but also if the rest of the EU realised what a sh1tstorm it would create for them. Especially when the entire world seems to be fcuking mental at the moment.

Mind you, the Leavers couldn't even believe the result, so...

The US has rebuffed attempts by Liam Fox to open negotiations on a free trade deal, saying that “meaningful” talks before Brexit were impossible.

Dr Fox, the international trade secretary, who is on a three-day charm offensive in the US, later had comments he made on a possible trading agreement with the EU “clarified” by No 10.

Mike Froman, the US trade representative, said that Washington would only be prepared to talk to the UK about a trade deal “at the appropriate time”.

“As a practical matter, it is not possible to meaningfully advance separate trade and investment negotiations with the UK until some of the basic issues around the future EU-UK relationship have been worked out,” Mr Froman said.

However, Canada corrected Dr Fox after he suggested that “very fruitful” bilateral trade talks with Ottowa had begun. Chrystia Freeland, the international trade minister, said that the talks were “positive” but they were largely about Canada’s deal with the EU as a whole.

Malcolm Turnbull, the Australian prime minister, told Theresa May that he wanted to sign a deal with the UK “as soon as possible”.
