I'm still angry. I finally had to put my Vote Remain t-shirt in the wash because it was starting to grow its own ecosystem, but the anger still hasn't faded.
And, yes, I'm still angry about the future.
David Cameron still hasn't called a general election. We will end up with a prime minister we did not elect (the blah blah blah is here). And just like Boris the Clown and David Hameron, they...

Call a General Election, Redux
I'm sitting here in my Vote Remain t-shirt and I'm angry. Yes, sure, I'm angry at how things went down — but that's faded to background noise at the moment, like a headache that won't quite go away. The past is gone. I can't change it and neither can anyone else.
Right now I'm angry about the future. I'm angry about things that haven't happened yet, but look like they will. I'm powerless...
General Election Now!
Dear Mr Cameron,
I'm writing to you today because the UK is at a crossroads. What comes next will set our course for decades to come. We must define the terms of our relationship with the EU and obtain their agreement.In the 4 days since the results of the referendum were announced the has world turned upside down.

Leadership & the United Left
Open letter to Jeremy Corbyn, Leader of the Labour Party, Leader of the Opposition, and MP for Islington North
Dear Mr Corbyn,
Firstly, I want to thank you for being an MP. The recent assassination of Jo Cox has served as a reminder as to what a thankless job it must be. Your hard work does not go unnoticed. I would be honoured to have you as my MP.
Secondly, I want to thank you and your team...
#RuthforPM
I wrote this on Friday, less than 12 hours after the results of the referendum. I sincerely hope there will be a general election called soon. If not, I continue to believe this represents the best possible outcome. As she is currently an MSP, not an MP, she would need to stand in a by-election first. I don't believe that's an obstacle.

Dear Ms Davidson,
Like you, I voted for...
