An Excuse, Not The Reason
Labour MPs prepare for leadership contest after Corbyn loses confidence vote 172-40.
OK, as Atrios said, the establishment/centrist Labour members have been looking for an excuse to dump Jeremy Corbyn, and are using a mess created by the Tories – Brexit. Corbyn lost a vote by the Labour MPs, but he won the leadership by winning 60% of the Labour Party membership.
If Remain had prevailed, they would have challenged him for helping Cameron. It is an excuse, not the reason.

The Leave Campaign Has A Surprise Coming
A Canadian analyst notes that Untangling who belongs where after Brexit won’t be a breeze, Boris.
Boris Johnson keeps telling people that brexit means that Britain gets all of the benefits of being in the EU, but doesn’t have to follow EU rules & regulations and doesn’t have pay membership fees. That is not the way it works. The EU is in no mood to play nice and has already said it won’t negotiate anything until the process formally begins.

Some Justice
But you have to sue: Payout of $10,000 for Windows 10 update
Microsoft has agreed to pay a Californian woman $10,000 (£7,500) after an automatic Windows 10 update left her computer unusable.
Teri Goldstein said her Windows 7 computer had automatically tried to update itself to Windows 10 without her permission.
She said the update had made her machine unstable, leaving her unable to use it to run her business.
Microsoft said it had dropped its appeal to save on legal costs.
It’s nice that someone was ‘made whole’, because a lot of people won’t be.
