So much for Farage's great "breakthrough" in UK politics If he couldn't win the Peterborough bye election then where could he win/ Labour retained the seat despite a shocking scandal with the previous candidate, and Peterborough (the gateway to the Fens with lots of EU immigrants) who had one of the biggest Leave votes in the referendum The deluded one was on TV this morning claiming a great victory, the Telegraph today has a poll showing that if the Tories choose BoJo as their new Leader then voters would flock back to the Tories Goodbye Nigel, once again, and take the awful Widdecombe with you |

"Boris Johnson holes up in Sky executive's £9.5million townhouse to plan the first 100 days of his government as protesters with a 'Boris blimp' take to the streets of London"
www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html
A little presumptuous I would have thought, or does he have access to the so called secret ballot No wonder the Sun and Sky News has been all Johnson He needs to be careful, if his cabinet consists of all Leavers and the likes of Rees Smug he will be exposed to the back benches with the big beasts prowling - Hammond, Hunt et al |

RICHARD LITTLEJOHN: As Blue Mink's social harmony song Melting Pot is hilariously banned for being 'racist', here's my 2019 rewrite of the hit
Take a pinch of Brexit
Until Gina Miller wrecks it
Add a touch of Boris
And a little-bitty bit of Jacob Rees-Mogg
Surly Anna Soubry
Has gone completely Looby Loobry
Lump her in with Bercow
And you’ve got a recipe for a Very British Coup
Yes, she does like a drink
Just don’t mention the Chinks
Huawei, Huawei . . .
What we need is a Great British Farewell
Big enough to tell Remain to go to hell
Or we’ll be squabbling for 100 years or more
Let’s stop Brexit being such a sodding bore.
Spread-Fear Philip Hammond
Needs his head examined
So does John McDonnell
Diane Abbott and his lordship Michael Heseltine, too.
Huawei, Huawei, the lads!
Hypocrite Keir Starmer’s
Having trouble with his Farmers
Ally Campbell’s such a charmer
He says we should all get together and overturn Leave
Jacob, call up the Queen
It’s only fair she prorogues,
Prorogues, prorogues!
What we need is a Great British Farewell
Big enough, big enough to tell Remain to go to hell
Or we’ll be squabbling for 100 years or more
Let’s stop Brexit being such a sodding bore . . .

I was very worried when Boris was voted in as PM. Now,I see he is not as daft as he looks.
For better or worse,something needs doing about Brexit. If Boris had not taken the bull by the horns,we would still be sitting here in five years time,bemoaning the fact that we are neither in nor out of the EU.
Radical ideas are necessary and many MPs should be ashamed of themselves for putting their personal views ahead of the public's wishes.
Democracy may not be perfect,but this country IS a democracy.

This rabble of opposition to the governments action is playing right into BoJo's hands, the opinion polls show that his lead over Labour has doubled and an election would give him a majority of 40 something. We as a civilised country do not take kindly to protesters blocking our passage to work or what have you, Momentum and environmentalists take note |

What else do you do? Write to your MP? They're not going to do anything: Johnson has shut Parliament.

There's a general election coming very soon, if you do not like what Johnson and Co are doing then you vote them out. Rabble rousing, protests and demonstrations never achieve anything. Currently protestors in Hong Kong, yellow coats in France, environmentalists are achieving nothing, a million marched against Tony Blair and his Iraq war - didn't stop him If taken to extreme such protests usually achieve a severe reaction from the authorities, involving violence and troops. Plays right into the hands of those authorities BTW, Johnson has only shut Parliament for three days

Come on Jimmy, three days is what Johnson's fanboys are saying: it's a lot longer than that, and it's designed to block moves towards blocking no deal.
He said he wouldn't do it only last weekend, and until a few days ago members of his cabinet were saying things like this about it:
Gove - Terrible idea to shut the doors
Hancock - That goes against everything those men fought & died for
Rudd - Its a ridiculous suggestion
Javid - We're not selecting a dictator

To be fair Aub these comments made referred to permanently closing Parliament. All BoJo is doing is what other PMs have done before including Major who is now legally challenging this one |

That's what Rees Mogg said they meant; but Reeas-Mogg can't be trusted.
More complete quotes:
Tom [Swarbrick - LBC presenter] then asked how happy the cabinet are with the plan, playing a series of senior cabinet members rejecting the idea of prorogation. They were:
Michael Gove: "I think it would be a terrible thing if, having said we should have more power in this country and trust our institutions more, we shut the doors on parliament."
Matt Hancock: "There's this idea from some people that to deliver Brexit, we should suspend our parliamentary democracy, that we should prorogue parliament. But that goes against everything that those men who waded on to those beaches fought and died for."
Andrea Leadsom: "It was felt it would not be something workable to prorogue parliament. It's certainly not something I would seek to do."
Amber Rudd: "It is a ridiculous suggestion to consider proroguing parliament."
Sajid Javid: "You don't deliver on democracy by trashing democracy. We're not selecting a dictator of our country."
They were talking about what had been suggested in the days before the suspension, and which Johnson only a couple of days before the announcement he wouldn't do. And what has happened now is that nothing is happening in Parliament - normally only the MPs stop and everyone else carries on as before.
It wasn't right for Major to shut it down either.

Aub, GMB put it very succinctly this morning. The majority of voters voted to leave the EU, the majority of MPs are Remainers, do there you have the dilemma - the people v Parliament I think the public are sick and tired of the debates, the posturing, and the stalemate. They want something to happen and it all to be over. As I posted earlier, all this protest is playing straight into Johnson's hands You mention politicians changing their minds, how many times has the Opposition and Corbyn changed their minds. I think that has been the problem, a useless and ineffective opposition |
