Every word of this. I was outside Waterloo in the evening and in among the middle-aged people in Union Jack jumpers making their way home after a lovely racist day out were groups of emboldened young white men draped in flags, roaming the streets. Not my London.

Keep thinking of arguments for why it would be completely insane to dump a prime minister with a huge majority just 14 months in, and also about how if he's not going to say a single word in opposition to the kind of shit we saw today then I no longer feel convinced by any of those arguments.
