Vast Brexit thread merge part IV

[matt j]

And Letwin, he who let two strange gentlemen in after they rang the doorbell and asked to use the lavatory, with unfortunate consequences. Probably Tory Whips who went back in time to sort him

Another great day- the biggest failure of a Prime Minister has his Tory shitshow fall apart in Parliament again with huge crowds outside lapping his failure up. It was is phoney Churchill eve of war Saturday sitting and it’s gone off like an embarrassing damp fart. The laptop will be hitting the wall in Downing St tonight.

One to celebrate!

All that tapping on a keyboard was truly worth it.

Six Labour MPs voted with Boris. I’ll take my bow later

Along with hundreds of tories, yet Labour is the party enabling brexit.

joe.

i'm impressed and surprised by your knowledge of american pick-up trucks.

No disrespect, but so what? Labour was not the govt, the Conservatives made the decisions and they had a majority.

It is my opinion there would never have been a referendum but for the Tory party.

Happy for you and anybody else to disagree. Labour is not responsible for brexit.

I agree that this was Tory-led and that they had the numbers to drive it through. After all, I quoted Salmond calling it out for what it was; there should be no doubt that the Tories own this.

Nevertheless MPs of any party who voted for the referendum must bear some of the responsibility for it taking place.

I’ve never worked for the Daily Mail. I worked on an exclusive freelance contract for the Mail on Sunday for three years or so. I have also written for many other national newspapers. Hope that clears it up.

Oh yes, it sure does!!

That’s ok. We just disagree.

I’m going to have a celebratory drink tonight. Corporal Francois and the league of extraordinary bellends will be foaming at the mouth. The Telegraph and the DM will have to pull out the death threat inciting dog whistle for Monday.

Johnson will probably flee to Belgium. Hero's of the people tend to do that.

Who the hell promoted Francois to Corporal? That’s Private/cannon-fodder material at best, though given the shape of him he’d be lucky to make it up the ladder out of the trenches...

Duncan Smith is saying Macron will veto an extension.

JRM’s face was hilarious when the vote came in.

Is that a Charles de Gaulle reference?

Duncan Smith is saying Macron will veto an extension.

Extension's not a certainty by any stretch

 

[maxflinn]

Extension's not a certainty by any stretch

Actually I'm not sure it's correct at this point. Someone is claiming Duncan Smith said it.

Let's see.

Pic?

The Court has the power to send the letter to the EC on behalf of Johnson if he refuses. He fought the law and the law won.
If he breaks the law casually now, what’s he and his extremist faction capable of next?
