80 years ago today Great Britain declared war on Germany for invading Poland.  At the same time, Winston Churchill was appointed Lord of the Admiralty to fight the Germans.  He was later elected Prime Minister.  Ironically, today, 80 years to the day, Nicholas Soames, Churchill’s grandson, was notified he was being ejected from the Conservative Party, along with 20 other conservatives, for daring to vote against Boris Johnson Trump who is trying to crash the UK out of the EU without an exit plan.

Republicans in Congress can take a lesson here.  Soames, who’s been in Parliament for 37 years, is not allowed to stand for re-election as a conservative.  He disregarded this threat from Johnson and put his country before his own career.  If only our own spineless Congress would do the same here.  I’m not holding my breath.
