Current Affairs The next Tory (strong and stable) leader is Boris Johnson

[NilSatisOptimum]

Jo Cox murder and the personal safety of members of Parliament safety, is 'mere humbug' according to Prime Minister Johnson. That's the measure of the man.

 

[Agent Blue]

He should have apologised and reached out, he is a very foolish and dangerous man.

He has been reaching out....................to ferret head.

[dwightschrute]

Utter scumbag, even hard right Spectator writers are condemning

 

[NilSatisOptimum]

Absolutely. Blackford is the only one who's laid a finger on Johnson. He has presence.

Corbyn is completely hopeless. You need to be an orator in these situations and he'll never be that. Tony Blair, for all his faults, would have reduced Johnson to the big pudding that he is.

He's always been good at distraction and bluster. It's a shame that the SNP commons leader is more powerful speaker than Corbyn, because he should have had a field day with him.

Blinded, even Kuenssberg has described Johnson response to Corbyn as 'paltry'... There is Punch and Judy one liners and constructive questions.

 

[Tubey]

Yep I thought Corbyn did well. I think Johnson has been nothing short of a national embarrassment tonight.

 

[Frang]

The Tory crowd applauding Johnson tonight after yesterday’s Supreme Court ruling are a disgrace.

We are in very dark times now. The PM will lie, cheat, break the law, purge those who disagree with him, all to appeal to the very worst wing of the party and of the electorate.

This from so called conservatives, who claim to want to retain democratic traditions, and keep to long held values and morals.

All for the prize of “Brexit”, a concept, which few can consistently articulate, and even fewer can point to any tangible benefits it would bring.

It has all the hallmarks of a religious civil war in the makings.

this is just the norm for any prime minister weve EVER had.

don't over dramatize it

 

[peteblue]

But he isn’t Pete .... and you know it mate.

He is. I will freely admit that I think the judgement was correct, indeed I said so all day yesterday, but the SC has now effectively changed the law, hence the government prorogation is now deemed unlawful. You must remember that the highest court in England also said it was legal, before the SC changed the law, which must now be accepted or changed by Parliament. The SC moved the goalposts, hence the result.....

 

[peteblue]

Because making Brexit about Corbyn is stupid. Any vote should be about Brexit and Brexit alone - a GE doesn't allow that. I can't vote for Corbyn just to Remain.

There is now an obvious, overwhelming need for a second referendum. As I've argued now for years on here. It's going to happen; it's an inevitability.

What’s it got to do with Brexit. Parliament is broken and doing nothing apart from talking about it. We just need a GE.......

Oh come on mate... don't parrot party politic lines. Your not under a whip.

 

[peteblue]

The risk of a no deal Brexit if Boris schedules the election in order to facilitate us crashing out.

Why cant we have a general election in November after that scenario has been avoided?

No reason at all, but it won’t happen. Corbyn will find another reason not to have one because he knows that he will be beaten.....

 

[peteblue]

The majority of the Labour LPL does not want an election. They do not want Corbyn in power under any pretence.

There was a documentary a while a go following Kinnock at the 2017 election. They have him at results night. As it came through Labour had massively over performed, the guy looks physically sick.

These people have dedicated their lives to trying to stop what Corbyn represents. The hatred of him and the membership base is palpable. They will do everything they can to stop an election.

You’ll be called a Tory next I’m afraid.......

No, it hasn’t. The SC merely confirmed that to prorogue Parliament requires a genuine reason.

No person from the Government would give evidence as to what the reason was, so they found that the people who actually did give evidence were correct.

If the government believed, quite rightly at the time, that the courts had nothing to do with prorogation, why would they then provide evidence. Until the SC decided that the new principle was that they do have an imput and therefore changed the rules, the government didn’t have to do anything. If the SC changed the rules and announced it prior to making further judgement then the government could have do so, but the SC didn’t, so the government couldn’t, and once the judgement was read that was that, with no appeal.......

I think they said they didn't have authority to decide if prorougagtion was unlawful not that it was legal. The supreme court said it does and decided unanimously that it was unlawful.
