One reason may be gone..personally I think UK will stay in EU now anyway. There is nothing Boris can do that will be any more successful than Mrs May tried in recent months. Ultimately there will be a second referendum or a forced general election..neither of which will led to exit.
It will be up to Boris to chose between a rock and a hard place. One will damage Conservative Party, the other will damage it even more. Sadly given Boris’s nature he will chose more damaging choice..he will be forced into a General Election.
Do you really not see a lot of parallels between the Brexit campaign and the Scottish Independence one??
Oh, boy. The Brits are gonna have bloated James Woods in charge of Parliament. Wow; this is so going to go well.

Stop acting as if "both sides" justifies racism, white nationalism, and corruption in the Republican party -- it doesn't.
I think any kind of unethical behavior in politics is wrong, just as I think using anecdotal evidence while ignoring solid data regarding Republican bigotry, incivility, criminality, homophobia, racism and corruption is engaging in misleading rhetoric -- you can't support the Republican party and pretend you don't likewise support said behaviors in your representatives.

I don't remember hearing anything about the Scottish referendum being unfair, which I definitely can't say for Brexit.
This is petty and unproductive. But damn, pence looks so much older. I just saw a clip of him trying to address the send her back thing, and he looks so old. I mean he was never a spring chicken with the premature silvering of his hair, but the wrinkles have deepened.
You try dealing with the Tyrant Toddler and his antics on a daily basis and see if that doesn't prematurely age you. Speaking of which, I know I don't follow the news outlets all that closely (said avoidance keeps me sane), but when was the last time Trump and Pence were seen together?

Oh please. While some fools like U2's Bono fell for it, the real experts saw through that.
As the programs were tied to sexual health providers in Africa not even MENTIONING abortion at any time if they didn't want to lose all their funding, the programs probably did more bad than good. In Uganda, for example, a positive trend of receding infection rates was reversed.

Also, funding for the President's global AIDS program has been well below expectations and even below the annualized amounts authorized by Congress. The administration has also allowed its approach to be guided by political and social ideologies over sound public health and the local needs of recipient countries.
Bush accused of Aids damage to Africa
If that is supposed to be Bush's saving grace, he remains lost.A senior United Nations official has accused President George Bush of "doing damage to Africa" by cutting funding for condoms, a move which may jeopardise the successful fight against HIV/Aids in Uganda.
Stephen Lewis, the UN secretary general's special envoy for HIV/Aids in Africa, said US cuts in funding for condoms and an emphasis on promoting abstinence had contributed to a shortage of condoms in Uganda, one of the few African countries which has succeeded in reducing its infection rate.
"There is no doubt in my mind that the condom crisis in Uganda is being driven by [US policies]," Mr Lewis said yesterday. "To impose a dogma-driven policy that is fundamentally flawed is doing damage to Africa."

Hillary was right!
For all his early concern about "Islamic terror", Trump has a blind spot when it comes to this kind of terrorism for obvious reasons.

"Wray: ‘Majority’ Of Domestic Terror Arrests This Year Motivated By White Supremacy"
"FBI Director Christopher Wray told lawmakers on Tuesday that the majority of the arrests his team has made this year related to domestic terrorism have been motivated by white supremacist ideology.
“In terms of the number of arrests, we have through the third quarter of this fiscal year, we had about 100 arrests on the international terrorism side, which includes the homegrown violent terrorism,” he told the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday. “But we’ve also had just about the same number, again, don’t quote me to the exact digit, but on the domestic terrorism side and I will say, that a majority of the domestic terrorism cases that we’ve investigated, are motivated by some version of what you might call white supremacist violence, it includes other things as well.”
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) called the numbers “significant” in light of the ongoing dialogue about race in the U.S. following President Trump’s racist attacks on four congresswomen of color over the last several days.
“I think this is significant,” Durbin said. “I do not not want to diminish the work you’re doing when it comes to homegrown domestic terrorism … But what you have just said is significant, if the number of people arrested this calendar year when it comes to this extremist conduct, is about equal between those who were inspired by foreign actors, ISIS, al-Qaeda, whatever it might be, and those who were inspired by white supremacy or at least some version of race.”
Durbin added: “We are having a national conversation about race that we haven’t had in a long time — about racism and the reaction, what is acceptable and what is not.”
When Durbin asked if the two could be considered equal threats, Wray said no, calling homegrown violent terrorism the single biggest threat to the U.S."
