Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

[Piece]

I thought the House would be rammed after the last few weeks. But it’s not. Empty seats.

Lord Sumption on
@BBCr4today
agrees the Supreme Court acted in a “revolutionary” manner and “invented” a new law. Attempts to justify it on basis of Government behaviour but completely ignores the appalling behaviour of this rotten Parliament.

Not a fan of Geoffrey Cox MP but in his Roll as Atorney General he is tying the opposition in knots.

This Parliament is a dead Parliament... This Parliament is a disgrace" Attorney General Geoffrey Cox accuses MPs of being "too cowardly" to table a vote no confidence and trigger a general election

Both barrells and more :

Guess they must have booked their holiday with Thomas Cook

Ooh. Attorney General tells
@NickBoles
government will abide by Benn Act which would force
@BorisJohnson
to ask for Brexit delay if he can’t get a deal through parliament. Unambiguous. So is that Johnson’s and Cummings’s position too? If so no-deal on 31 Oct would seem to be dead
And if that can be shown to be demonstrably true, will
@jeremycorbyn
and
@NicolaSturgeon
now prepare to give
@BorisJohnson
what he wants, namely a general election?

Nah, let Johnson stew in his own mess, man told us all he could and would do but turns out he cant do any of it, talked the talk but can't walk the walk. Many of us knew it, Hunt would've been a far better choice.

Hopefully other wannabee PMs will see the mess BJ is in and realise the job of PM is far beyond most of them. Bluster and BS will only get you so far.

Attorney General is a big mouth, loves the sound of his own voice. Advised PM really badly (even Farage agrees) and trying to minimise the damage to his own reputation with lots of shouting. Doesn't change anything.

It wasn’t the first time you used it, all this happened on 9/10th September, it’s now the 25th, why not all this harassment of me then?
You asked for a retraction or proof, I supplied proof, YOU IGNORED IT AND NEVER RESPONDED TO THAT PROOF.

You keep saying I’m starting to look silly, I wasn’t the one who demanded a retraction or proof and when proof was presented ran away with my tail between my legs.

Please move on or at least wait another 2 weeks to drag it up again!

I give up. You are the one that keeps dragging it up, I have no reason to
You were just wrong in your accusation so why keep on repeating your error. I dont go trawling through every post, every day in case someone asked me a question, you are just being unreasonable and looking to justify your outlandish condemnation.

...

As for SR’s Loser comment my reply goes back to 9th Sept when I picked him up on using the term losers (Post #12874) he then asked me to show proof or retract my post (Post #12890) so I did, I posted the following quote from him.

Post #12833,
“Leavers won and the Losers are inventing ways to make it seem they lost.”

Until last night he had not replied to me showing the evidence.

IMO, You are (deliberately?) misinterpreting the tone of SR's post!

Btw. I was one of those 'Losers'.

Which actual law was broken?

EU Article 2034u85334/234 - "Resistance to 4th Reich is not permitted!"

 

[ColchesterFC]

Different noises from different parts of the party, Diane Abbott on Sky this morning suggested it was only fair play to allow the tories to hold their conference.

Lib Dems now saying that they will vote against a recess for the Tory conference.

And what a fabulous voice!

 

[clubchamp98]

If, hypothetically, a remain party/coalition became the next government (on the back of a remain/revoke art 50 manifesto), would the people have then voted to remain. Thus overruling the (non-binding) referendum?

That’s a big problem imo .
As people have not seen the referendum result enacted.
But the answer is yes I think so.

 

[Beezerk]

Lib Dems now saying that they will vote against a recess for the Tory conference.

They're going bonkers with a sniff of power, conceited and out of touch.

 

[clubchamp98]

Fit both sides, anyone who can't see it are already wearing them.

One thing I CAN SEE is the £72 Billion .

The trouble with that scenario is that no sensible person in the UK would trust this Tory government with anything at all.
They just constantly lie about virtually everything.
Really funny to see the sheer desperation on their faces as they haplessly attempt to goad the opposition into calling an election.
Very sad reflection on our times.
GE coming soon and, with the opposition parties now in charge of the process, they will set the date.

BTW if the Attorney General was any good at his job he would be nowhere near the HoC.

 

[Hitdaball]

That is true but as incompetent and untrustworthy as the Tories are under Depfeffel they will still likely win voted in by turkeys looking forward to Xmas . Scary times.

Goodness that escalated quickly, we now have African nations threatening to suspend the UK from the Commonwealth if the UK Government continues the ignore the rule of law.

🤦‍♂️

Why the shocked face ? The UK isn’t going to be suspended from the commonwealth- it’s more embarrassing that you think it’s newsworthy

And it hasn’t “escalated” quickly - Nigeria has been making noises for while
