Who will become the most influential British politician of the early 21st century? Might it be dishy Rishi with his nice line in suits and political vapourware? Is Dave's Brexit legacy doomed to cast a shadow over the next few decades? Or does the title belong to Boris Johnson himself, the mastermind of the greatest Tory electoral triumph since the 1980s? The answer is ... none of these men. It's not even a Conservative politician. No, it is the unconscionable one. He whose name must be mentioned in conjunction with rites of Tory exorcism.

Trump apologist for Putin in cases of Navalny, Skripal and Kara-Murza

Avoiding Post-Election Chaos: Wilson vs. Hughes, 1916
MWaxman, Lawfare - 9 hours ago
President Woodrow Wilson photographed in August 1916. (Library of Congress Archives) The prospect of a contested presidential election, including premature claims of victory—or worse, one in which President Trump deliberately foils a clear outcome against him—rightly has people worried. It’s a reminder that some structural aspects of the U.S. presidential election system, like its decentralization and long transition period between election and inauguration, can be major liabilities. It’s also a reminder of how much the system depends on candidates’ commitment to certain principle...
