Who needs a reason? Bc they're puffed up yellow Tories who want to be the kingmakers and are going party over country, and the typical 'centrist' tactic of 'being in the middle' but just HAPPENING to criticize the left more than the right. That Swinson is a nasty piece of work, wouldn't trust her as far as I could throw her.

It doesn't really matter what they think. Their job is to a) act in the interests of the nation (avoiding this shit show of a deal that Johnson has put before us, ruining our economy, etc) and b) act in the interests of their constituents (aka... potentially now remain in the EU or hold a second confirmatory referendum on a deal that actually holds up to scrutiny).


So you are avoiding agreeing that no MP has said openly that the referendum result should be ignored.

For all their faults, they realize that a democratic exercise of that size cannot be dismissed. Once you start ignoring the result of any democratic vote by the electorate, you are on a slippery slope towards dictatorship! sad.gif

Ignoring democracy is not allowing MPs to scrutinise a piece of legislation

Very good article. It's been worrying me for some time how eager the BBC and other news broadcasters, but especially the BBC, are so keen to parrot No 10 statements without question. Even if they don't agree, it's doing the government's PR for them.

I think the entire BBC political team could do with a shakeup.


Interesting how there has been a slight change since that article...

How can they spend 3 years scrutinising a withdrawal bill that wasn’t published until 3 days ago?

From BBC News.

EU leaders are set to decide on Friday whether to grant the UK a three-month Brexit extension, the BBC's Europe editor Katya Adler says.

Most EU nations back it but France "is digging its heels in", she adds.

So there could be an emergency summit in Brussels on Monday to allow leaders to reach agreement face-to-face.

Boris Johnson insists the UK will leave the EU next week with or without a deal and he will seek a snap election if the EU grants an extension to January.

The prime minister was forced to send a letter to the EU requesting an extension, under legislation passed by MPs last month.

But he said he had told EU leaders his policy was still to leave on 31 October.

Commons Leader Jacob Rees-Mogg told MPs the government "does not want an extension" and was "making every preparation to leave on 31 October".

Dominic Cummings, Mr Johnson's chief adviser, is reported to be urging ministers to abandon attempts to get the prime minister's Brexit deal through Parliament and go for a December election instead.

But some ministers - such as Northern Ireland Secretary Julian Smith - are understood to be urging the prime minister to make another attempt to get his deal through Parliament first.

Cabinet ministers are expected to meet at 15:00 BST to discuss the way forward.

French President Emmanuel Macron is concerned that a long extension could lead to more UK indecisiveness or an inconclusive general election, the BBC understands.

But if the EU approves the UK's request for a three-month extension, Mr Johnson would have to accept it, under the terms of the so-called Benn Act.

He would also have to accept any alternative duration suggested by EU leaders, unless MPs decide not to agree with it within two days.

If Remainers think they can pin all the blame on the Tories if Brexit is blocked, they will be sorely mistaken!

My worry is the Brexit party taking vote from the Tories. Rumours that Farage will stand in Boris's constituency. ohmy.gif

Boris meeting with his top-team now and what they've decided could be announce later.


Sources are saying that 10 Downing Street are asking the French to veto the extension and the French Ambassador has been seen going into No.10. This is a risky move by Cummings and Johnson as faced with the prospect of No Deal, Parliament could and should Revoke.

PM putting down motion for a general election to be voted on on Monday, to take place on 12th December - No 10's gambit is that if Labour agrees, then they will timetable Brexit bill again with time for scrutiny until 6th November when they want to dissolve Parliament.


12th December Chris.

5th is too close to the NATO summit.
