Vast Brexit thread merge part IV

[gavreid]

^Actually it's the Labour right that wants to stall an election for a referrendum - a Corbyn Government over their dead bodies...

Only the link that I posted earlier - they seem to be hoping for it to be heard this afternoon?
Jo Maugham's Twitter might be the best place for updates?

This story is now getting some media exposure too. The press seemed a bit slow picking it up, particularly the anti-brexit press.

That can possibly be explained if you say that 60% of the residents of Blyth can’t even spell it.

They may have more chemists shops per head of population but they did turn out to vote for Brexit, and it is good to see democracy in action not just promises.

Interesting perspective from The Atlantic:

I confess to quite liking the idea of a uniting of the Celtic Fringe of the British Isles - unlikely, I know, but dreams are free, so it might as well be a big one.

So many transparent lies told in public by the Tory Parliamentary Party about “our previous Union” while the polling data showed party members would vote to dump every part of the UK outside England to getbrexitdun.

Seems that things have moved quite a bit from MSM's reporting 'Juncker rules out extension' yesterday...

Wearing down Brexit with a glimmers of false hope. The EU MEPs on Sky today were still talking about extra extensions and UK referendums.

Decision expected at 5pm. The Speaker has requested that it be kicked out

I don't see how this will not stop it in its tracks. It is very unambiguously worded. Intriguing, it's the most concrete and clear thing I have seen.

what be kicked out?

Quite a bit of meat on the story here: https://www.ft.com/content/ab4d04ae-f195-11e9-bfa4-b25f11f42901

what be kicked out?

the case - by the judge.

Goes to show then, he isn't a bias remainer....

If they don’t threaten loss of whip they’ve f___ed it.

It’s the same old same old. With an election in the offing Labour don’t want to lose their Johnson supporting MPs.

To be honest if Johnson gets the bill through parliament on Saturday (and I hope he doesn’t) I’d expect him to win the snap election, even if not with an overall majority.

John Bercow: 'the courts should not make any order that would prohibit a matter from being brought before parliament.'

Hmmm...well we can't really trust those in Parliament to do anything other than for their party or career, so I don't see why not.

He heads up the Department - I don't suppose he has too much personal discretion to overrule his Officials. I doubt it'd be seen that way though...

The counter to that argument is that the original legislation would need to be repealed either before or together with what is being laid before Parliament. I still think Maugham's clutching at straws though...

Arguably, a disingenuous headline, but it's something that some have speculated about being the real reasons behind the 'deal', and the ERG etc. support for it.

Welcome back Harry. I did wonder where you had gone.

Cheers. I’m shocked you didn’t work it out ;-)

Good Freudian slip there.

Not even mildly amusing - in keeping with 99% of the stuff I’ve read posted by you. You didn’t explain what’s wrong with describing a Jewish person as a Jew. Presumably that’s because there is nothing wrong with it.

Thanks for taking such an avid interest in my posts. 1% funny too, happy with that.

You can rest assured that I will not reciprocate. There’s always room on here for another Remainer for me to ridicule when Corbyn and Swindon are sacked in the not too distant future.
