    Parliament is closed? Lets face it, we don't notice any difference when its open. Get more sense out of Churchill the nodding dog.

    True
    What are they going to do when it's closed
    A bit of community service picking up litter and a few menial jobs would be good to focus the mind

    Watched the Supreme court hearing this afternoon with the Scottish QC representing the decision the Scottish court gave, What a windbag, He had around two and half or 3 hours allocated and spent most of it waffling on and berating the judges about how UK law was based on Scottish law and how England relied on Scotland for progress and its laws even mentioning McBeth and the only thing the English had in its history of value was 1066 and 1966, The head of the court had to remind him he only had half an hour left if he was going to actually present a case to them, The Scots certainly seem to be in the premier league when it comes to be a long winded windbag,

    Can’t wait to see how Labour manages to not capitalise on this

    Despite what many people like to believe and despite some of the nonsense articulated by certain individuals in the Brexit debate, the ECJ has no remit in matters like this. Their job is to determine whether member states have or have not complied with EU laws and only EU laws and not get embroiled in issues which are the preserve of the individual member states.

    It would however be ironic and highly amusing if BoJo was being advised to go down the ECJ route!

    I can't see myself voting anything bar Tory or Brexit, but that certainly doesn't put me in the upper class category.

    Bore off. Nobody is surrendering anything. That's just empty rhetoric.

    The great Brexiteer delusion is the idea that if we threaten to leave with No Deal then the EU will cave in and give us concessions. The EU will not give up the backstop, no matter what we threaten and nor will it give us benefits of EU membership without paying our subs. They'd sooner wave is off into the sunset with no deal than compromise their fundamental principles. They've made this clear from the start and they won't shift. The only way we'd get a different deal is to drop May's red lines, which effectively rendered any negotiations dead in the water.

    Johnson knows this perfectly well. He knows he has no chance of getting any improvements on the 'leap in the dark' May deal. So he's trying to blame those who want to stop us disastrously jumping off a cliff for the folly and intransigence of his own government. And people like you unquestioningly swallow his bullshit.

    That's very true. But some of his inner group advisers - Seamus Milne, Andrew Murray, Karie Murphy, Jon Lansmann - who are incredibly influential on Labour party policy (including the majority of them ironically being in favour of Brexit) have had close associations with ultra left groups, including CPGB and their views do have a strong influence on Corbyn. His own 'I'm not a communist' argument isn't helped by his second in command John McDonnell having been proud to declare in the recent past that he is a Marxist. For better or worse, people, especially leading politicians are often measured by the company they keep.

    The Scottish Numpty Party do not speak for Scotland only their cult following.
    They are incapable of using all the current powers which they have at Holyrood and it's always easier to blame Westminster.
    Unfortunately apart from Andrew Neill TV journalist's give them an easy ride.

    they're all at it, a perk of being in a protected closed shop system. Jo Swinson 's hubby and his company get millions through the EU, just one of the many drinking on the gravy train express. They make me sick to the stomach the lot of them.

    Nevermind elections and another referendum, what i want is parliament to be given the time to check the deal that was passed, largely thanks to 19 labour mps, seeing as the DUP are not happy bunnies with the tories anymore.

    If it is a good deal then it doesn't matter if it gets passed by oct 31st or november or december.
    It needs scrutiny and that costs time.
    If the deal aint that great for workers rights,jobs and checks down the irish sea(boris doesn't lie...........much) then the mps need to be honest with the voting public.

    ps, as someone who hasn't written a thesis, feel free to disregard my point of view.

    Anyone with a shred of intelligence would see that he is a fence sitting hippy who would rather everyone be friends than anything else. In regards to the palestinian question you could regard both sides terrorists. So youre being selective.

    An example being right now the Kurds are some peoples freedom fighters and allies and yet are Turkeys terrorists. Kurdish leaders that are working alongside british SAS commanders are labelled terrorists. Its selective and the Corbyn pictures paint a picture of an out of touch man not a terrorist.

    You are conned by the daily mail and your own prejudices. Some people say thats being a mug.

    Corbyn may love Brexit but is to weak a leader and dare not vote for his own beliefs, He is that controlled he dare not even speak about it without permission of Starmer and the remainers

    I'm sure that if George Orwell had been commenting on the whole sorry affair, he might have come up with "All MPs are untrustworthy, but some MPs are more untrustworthy than others".

    Of course, he did say "The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power."

    It is just scaremongering, We already get cheap deals from the USA for drugs why would it change? Just recently we have negotiated a drug for cystic fibrosis from the USA that is considerably cheaper than supplied to other countries including the EU,

    One of the reasons Labour lost, this sort of behaviour turned away a lot voters, the social media mob led by the likes of Owen Jones and his ilk. Remember back to the eighties when real people were demonstrating for real reasons, villages been decimated, miners losing their livelyhoods. Those w"nkers demonstrating last night don't know how lucky they are, most of them haven't the first clue what its like to be poor, just listen to their over privileged voices. Set the dogs on them Boris.

    To get the best deal we need to take them to the brink and if needed beyond it, Both Germany and France need our trade desperately and would face huge economic and social problems if it was to happen, We are the 6th largest economy in the world and without access to our markets the EU would fall in to recession and mass unemployment, The cards we hold are more powerful than people realise regards global trade
