I think if he manages to do that from Newbury he should be knighted. More realistically he’ll just foam at the mouth like the rest.

On a serious point though, I imagine the Lib Dem’s will take this seat.


If the election is post brexit their remain ticket will be nil and void so their only real chance is a GE in October, yet they voted against that proposal. I see "call me Dave" is putting in his two-penneth worth by stating that Boris only became a leaver for political reasons which means that he knew the vote was going to go the way it did. Yet he still went ahead with it. rolleyes.gif

Meanwhile the yanks are fearing a recession. Hold onto your hats boys.

I quite agree. The Liberals will win Newbury. It voted remain in 2016. Personally I couldn't vote for a party that wants to forget the last 3 years and ignore 17 million voters. But people will. I also think the Conservatives will be the biggest party at the next GE and the Liberals will be neck and neck with Labour.

According to the small print because the downtrodden proletariat will then be on a par with pensioners the latter will have to return to the workplace in exchange for their remuneration. In a stroke this will save the country billions of corbyn pounds, (the shiney new currency), so poor bunnies who are suffering from workday blues will instantly be able to drown their sorrows in a free pot of "happy" pills from their GP. Of course he won't be there because he too is on a 4 day week but lets not have a few technicalities stand in the way of a god (sic) idea.

When something is found to have no legal standing it isn't about breaking a law, it is more about not following it. Until there is a legal precedent laws are not enshrined anyway, so in this case the actions of Boris Johnson were deemed unlawful, not illegal. Now there is a legal precedent set it will be much easier in the future should the same event happen again.

It's not criminal, just a branch of civil law. Interesting thought, if Boris 'mislead' HMQ, then Johnnie Major must have done the same, so that will add to the fun. Then, for the future, can we really justify closing parliament for party conferences?

More people turned out for the 1992 GE.

The 1975 remain vote was only about ~33,000 fewer, but a much larger majority than in 2016 leave vote.
Turin Machine
It didn't take long to reveal that Alan Rusbridger (ex-editor of the Guardian, Remain voted) supported Gina Miller (who brought the original case against the prorogue, and A50, and everything else about Brexit) and as Principal of Lady Margaret Hall, Oxford, gave Lady Hale (President of the Supreme Court, delivered the verdict yesterday) a Visiting Fellow position at the college in May. It's about as meaningless as the fact 10 of 11 Supreme Court justices voted Remain, but it looks like a conflict of interest and so it'll be perceived as one - the anti-Brexit establishment at work. But I bet that won't be reported because it doesn't fit the narrative.

Sadly, yes they are. Just as Toni Blair envisaged when he set up the 'Supreme Court' - designed to like the American one. Yet another serious Labour mistake.

We don't have a written constitution, so can't rely on strict interpretation of written precident. Our foundation is common law - what the Supreme Court gave failed to do is look beyond statute. There are common law presidents here, created by both John Major and Clement Attlee.

So, perfectly valid decision against the present constitution of the Court, but it certainly won't clarify any future case, arguably it makes things even more confused.

Jess Phillips MP.

Yesterday;
Jess Phillips has begged Boris Johnson to apologise for his use of language designed to "divide not lead" as she spoke of her grief at Jo Cox's murder.
Today the Labour MPs told the House of Commons: "The use of language yesterday and over the past few weeks such as the surrender bill, such as invoking the war, such as betrayal and treachery, it has clearly been tested, and work-shopped and worked up and entirely designed to inflame hatred and division.
Simper, simper.

Dec 2015;

“I would do anything that I felt was going to make the Labour party win the general election because if I don’t have that attitude then all I’m doing is colluding with the Tories.

“If that means making Jeremy better, I’ll roll my sleeves up. If that’s not going to happen – and I’ve said [this] to him and to his staff to their faces: ‘The day that ... you are hurting us more than you are helping us, I won’t knife you in the back, I’ll knife you in the front.’”

Gets better;

It was widely reported in September that she told the shadow international development secretary, Diane Abbott, to “**** off” when Phillips confronted the Labour leadership team about the lack of women in senior positions.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Labour!
