Photo: Simon Dawson/© 2016 Bloomberg Finance LP One of the few things I find duller than the sport of soccer is the question of whether the United Kingdom will vote tomorrow to leave the European Union: the so-called Brexit. If it leaves, will Britain negotiate a way to maintain access to the Common Market, like Norway, while losing any say in EU governance? Will average Britons really lose 5 percent of their future wealth? Will leaving do anything to reduce immigration in the U.K., as Brexit’s most rabid xenophobe supporters wish? Will Brexit set off a chain reaction that sees Scotland, Northern Ireland, and even Wales depart from the kingdom to rejoin the EU? If there’s no Brexit, how long will England still be England? What does the Queen think? How many corgis does she have again? Does the EU regulate dogs? A more interesting question is what effect the referendum result will have on the leadership of … [Read more...] about Thanks to Brexit, Journalist Turned Mayor Boris Johnson Could Be the U.K.’s Next Prime Minister

President Trump joked about Rep. Greg Gianforte assaulting a reporter back in May of 2017 during his rally in Montana on Thursday night. Gianforte body slammed and punched Ben Jacobs, a reporter for The Guardian, the day before his special election. He pled guilty to misdemeanor assault.WATCH: “He’s so smart, you’re on live television all over the place, and we’ve had people get up [and] speak for 20, 25 minutes and these guys are going crazy, that’s not the deal. But Greg is smart, and by the way, never wrestle him. You understand – never,” Trump stated. “Any guy that can do a body-slam he’s my kind of guy,” he said. “I shouldn’t say that — there’s nothing to be embarrassed about. So I was in Rome with a lot of the leaders from other countries talking about all sorts of things and I heard about it. And we endorsed Greg very early but I had heard he body-slammed a reporter.” (RELATED: … [Read more...] about President Trump Boasts About Rep. Greg Gianforte Body Slamming A Reporter

LONDON—Embarrassed British officials were scrambling for answers on Monday night when it emerged that one of the terrorists who murdered seven people in the London Bridge attack was an open and unashamed extremist. Indeed, he was linked to Britain’s most notorious pro-jihadi group, which has been the focus of counter-terror investigations for more than a decade. Khuram Butt, 27, had been investigated as recently as 2015 by security officials who deemed him unworthy of further inquiry because they found no evidence of attack planning. On Saturday night he took part in a terrorist rampage through central London that targeted innocent people who were out eating and drinking with friends. Like Salman Abedi, who killed 22 people at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester two weeks ago, Butt had been added to the list of 23,000 jihadi extremists who officials consider potential terrorist attackers, but the investigation went no further. Members of the security community have long … [Read more...] about TV Jihadi Who Attacked London Bridge Was Probed by MI5
