I’m sorry that my last post was a one line post mods but unfortunately at times one is lost for words.

The SC "was wrong", glad he got that point sorted! :pac:

Groundhog Day.

There has to be an election. And it will more than likely lead to a working Tory majority that will get some deal, or the existing deal through.

An extension is a given if there is to be an election. I think I have had enough of this BS and regurgitation and failure to make a decision by anyone as to what they WANT, rather than what they do NOT want. But I still can't help myself keeping an eye on it every day.

BoJo saying that he is having new negotiations about the WA

:):). He really is deluded. Hopefully Barnier will tweet this evening. .

Andrea leadson is such a contemptible person. Look at her sitting behind Boris Johnson like a nodding dog like the others sitting on the front bench.

Yes our politics in Ireland isn’t perfect by ANY means but Jesus h Christ we aren’t this messed up and dysfunctional.

GM228

On his point that he prorogued just like his predecessors:-

He is begging for a new election. If he wanted an election surely he could schedule a vote and win one...or maybe not. He cannot even win a vote to go for dinner in the HoC.

I hope the opposition doesn't fall for it again. Let him stew, let him stew in his own mess. He let 21 rebels go, let him stew.

No harm but how Corbyn et al haven't actually formulated a plan for a VONC whereby they agree on someone to form a government is beyond me. It's not like it's a new idea, it has been mooted for weeks. Get on and do it.

Calling Johnson's bluff would sink him completely.

Joe_ Public

"They have until the house rises this evening to call a vote of no confidence..."

Why is it in Johnson's gift to put deadlines on opposition calling a vonc? They can put one whenever they feel like surely.

A Shropshire Lad

Boris is getting desperate now. Inviting a vote of no confidence !

How many tricks are left in his playbook ?

I thought this was supposed to be a statement about the court decision yesterday. The only reference he has made about the judgement is to say that it was wrong. Everything else is just the usual bluster about Brexit. The court decision had nothing to do with Brexit.

GM228

Corbyn stated Johnson "broke the law", he actually got that point wrong. Prorogation was unlawful, Johnson's actions were not illegal.

Itssoeasy

A British PM basically begging for a GE ? It’s like a turkey walking straight over to Bernard Matthews and saying “ work away chief”

I like this tweet that Lewis Goodall made

https://twitter.com/lewis_goodall/status/1176916252847198208?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1176916252847198208&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.sky.com%2Fstory%2Flive-gove-refuses-to-say-if-government-will-try-to-suspend-parliament-again-11818984

Couldn't be more true, and obvious.

Meanwhile on the front bench Liz Truss briefly came to, looked around, then drifted away again.

I had forgotten the Operation Yellowhammer documents were released without any scrutiny. This is good from Corbyn though.

Itssoeasy

So that's at least some kind of answer on the London issues.

Secret police ?

Johnson is terrible. This is his response to a good questioning by Corbyn.

Itssoeasy

For a PM what a majority of -40 odd Boris Johnson is showing some confidence.

Joe_ Public

Its his level. Playground politics. Addresses a serious question about his own conduct as london mayor by attacking the present incumbent, no class whatsoever.

Itssoeasy

Why do the opposition speakers ask does Boris Johnson have any shame ? I mean just look at his physical appearance.

Itssoeasy

Vote of no conference mentioned which looks like a difference in opinion in the opposition.

Water John

Blackford is superb. Probably correct to remove Tory Govn't and install an interim one. Hope Lb and Lib Dems can agree on interim PM.

Itssoeasy

Using the word "lying" or any variant of that word is a sure fire way to get a telling off in most parliaments.

He's far more articulate than Corbyn. Look at the heads of the DUP behind the Lib Dem leader. Smug so and sos.

What a load of bull and bluster from Johnson.its so farcical to see him begging for an election.Ian Blackford is absolutely brilliant performer

Joe_ Public

I like Nigel Evans, would seem a nice fella to go for a pint with, but we'd have a very robust exchange on our views re brexit and probably most else besides.

Itssoeasy

Apparently Nigel Dodds spoke with great maturity according to Boris Johnson.
