May tried to negotiate with the EU and the H of C but was refuted!

PM Johnson knows not to repeat the same error.

Smart play...

-10 ( +4 / -14 )

Smart play for someone with 2 brain cells, yes.

Any other properly functioning and morally not-bankrupt human being would be ashamed of this foul play.

7 ( +12 / -5 )

Why?

So, he could repeat May’s failures again?

As said, extremely smart move!

-11 ( +3 / -14 )

Oh Britain. Gone from “we will get an amazing deal” to “we can survive a no deal Brexit.”

It’s amazing that anyone can go from promising success to promising survival for the same situation, and still have support.

Just as in the U.S., the conservative administration in the U.K. can't get a policy result through the ordinary political process, and so they are bypassing and subverting democracy, to their own shame, and with lasting damage to each country.

Yes, it takes a genius to threaten democracy and the GFA.

There is a ruthless political game plan developing that could present two distinct scenarios, Parliament with speaker John Bercow assistance attempt to seize the commons agenda using a standing order 24 vote procedure thus forcing though a bill to extend Article 50.

Or a vote of confidence, and the possibility of General Election. It is tempting to have a flutter.

Either way the current withdrawal deal with never find a course through the House of Commons. an inescapable fact.

"It's not on, and we're not having it," Corbyn said.

Too late, the people have voted Mr anti-semitic, anti-democratic, remoaner extraordinare. Take a tabloid and read the headline, YOU helped your enemy against your own PM in voting down the DEAL, because of an unmovable dealine. Now all of a sudden your enemy is saying deadline no more. Proud of that?

I have a feeling Dominic Cummings has already anticipated what Remain MPs will do next. No matter what they choose to do, it wiil be countered. So, the big question is not: Can Boris be stopped? It's: What is Boris aiming for?

I suspect it's a reheated Withdrawal Agreement.

Seems that Boris' actions have created a bounce for the Tories in the polls.

Yawn.

More Corbyn smearing from Israel's troll army.

"Israel secretly operates a troll army of thousands, partly funded by a government department. The Ministry of Strategic Affairs is dedicated to a global “war” against BDS, the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement for Palestinian rights."

"In August last year, Act.IL ran a campaign directing its troll army to make and promote comments online against the British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, accusing him of anti-Semitism. This meddling in British democracy came during the height of summer 2018’s media hysteria about a supposed “crisis” of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party."

@Toasted Heretic

Do you really think that Northern Ireland is more than a small twinge to Boris ?

Of course it is not.

If the Population of NI really don’t like it then they can join with the ROI which is and intends to stay a member of the EU.

Time to forge new alliances and put religion and sectarian politics to one side, for the greater good....

May tried to negotiate with the EU and the H of C but was refuted!

Or to put it another way, the EU and the H of C tried to negotiate with May but were refused.

There's a video somewhere of BoJo from just a few years back, saying it would be mad to leave the EU, or something to that effect.

A shame the lady in the top picture gets the UK flag upside-down. A sad reflection of teaching there.

Isn't that a distress signal?

There is also one on French TV, he was talking in French and joking the yes to Brexit would not pass and he would never become Prime Minister.

You mean the Bozo should have the head down ?
