The English court was shut that week. Only reason they held it in Scotland

BMWhere?

It's true the EU don't have to extend although it's generally in their own interest to extend than to accept no deal unless they were really sure that we'd revoke article 50 if they refused to extend. It's important to remember that the last extension was made before the EU elections and the date on 31st October was chosen because that is the end of the current commission with the new commission taking over on 1st November and they didn't want to push the extension into the new commission without the new commission being involved. The new commission is now selected, so they can agree to a further extension.

Government have lost the vote tonight and they also lost the vote on a new election. The lord's also look set to pass the law this week even if they have to camp in the chamber until it's passed. Johnson has overplayed his hand and is now unable to legally stand by his desire to leave on 31st October "come what may".

Got to feel sorry for all the Brexiteers though who only last week were gloating because of the proroguing, they seem to have gone quiet again this week.

dpb

No doubt one them will pop up shortly , protest the lack democracy / how their vote has been stolen lol

BMWhere?

Looks like Johnson has caved late last night and agreed to pass the anti-no-deal bill before they prorogue!

Not much details yet, but looks to be along the lines of the government giving in to extending Brexit past the end of October and Labour will support the call for a general election!

dpb

I wonder whether he's still lovin his dream job..!


Even his family deserting him now

BMWhere?

He's a fool really! He should have kept his oar out of the whole Brexit debate, wait for it to pass, then he could have rolled in a popular Conservative leader and would easily have won an election. Brexit has ruined his reputation and popularity and his time as PM will probably be short lived!

Oops! Boris' brother has now quit! Its all falling apart for Komrad Johnson!

Mr Fuji

Talk of him getting the dubious honour of being the PM to serve the shortest term in UK history. Pretty dire if you consider the current 'record' holder died in office

dpb

Dead in ditch ...hmm Ominous

dpb

Odds on resignation shortening by the hour

Gove\Cummings clearly have a plan and Boris is a part of it. Question is what role have they cast him in.

dpb

Does Cummins hold absolute power here ?. Surely not

not in an official capacity, but he is the strategist...

I don't spend my day browsing the news Tidgy, some of us have work to do

This is of far less importance now anyway...could be seen as belt and braces to prevent a no deal, but things have moved on from when this was first lodged. She is going to appeal anyway so it ain't over

Tidgy

neither do i, but its lunch time

Another cabinet minister resigns

Will anybody be left to run the country at this rate

Dr Hu

Well we've got the Commie Dream Team of Corbyn and Diane still banging on about wanting an election - oh hang on....

trails

iTrader: (41)

Be that as it may, they are still not daft enough to facilitate the election Johnson\Cummings so desperately need...

What do you stand to gain if we crash out of the EU with no deal?

dpb

so youll be voting for far right nationalists instead ?

Tidgy

why is it that people say crap like this?

the political specturm is not black and white, labour, tories, lib dems and brexit party are neither far right nor far left. If you really think so then i think you need to step away and get some perspective on what that truly means.

trails

iTrader: (41)

The point he is making is that the current direction of the Tory party (well what's left of them...) is not centralist and is pushing a populist agenda. Perhaps not far right, but as close as we have been for many, many years and maybe a trend that would continue if supported.

Tidgy

I wouldn't say its even close to it. Right now you say your anti free immigration and your accused of being far right, racist etc

The difference is one word, 'free' aka you have no control and anyone can just wander in. Not saying its right or wrong, all im saying is that doesnt make it far right.

On the bright side it looks like Buckingham will finally be able to re-join democracy after a 22 year interlude

....That is if you can call a two horse voting system a democracy, at least its better than what they had to put up with before .

dpb

What exactly is "Free immigration " when its at home ...
