The referendum majority was very much larger, though apparently that doesn't count because it wasn't big enough. Remoaners are a bunch of hypocrites.
The law passed last night by one vote was gerrymandered through parliament by a partisan Speaker who has defied parliamentary convention numerous times in his quest to wreck Brexit. It was also aided by an ex-jailbird MP who was released on licence in February and wears a curfew tag. This is the appalling state of democracy in the UK today.
So the Yvette Cooper's bill has cleared the Commons in a matter of hours, and scraped through by just one vote. Bills normally take months to pass through parliament, tonight's proceedings were a travesty, especially as the one vote majority was aided by a convicted criminal who, apparently, is still wearing her curfew tag. We truly are living in post democratic times.
Why would Brexit supporting Tories vote for Change UK? That particular group would like to halt Brexit completely. It's the Brexit Party or similar for me. The result of the Newport parliamentary by-election on Thursday will be interesting, as will be the local elections next month.
The Tories are done for now, in the three years since the Brexit vote I have never witnessed social media in such a meltdown as it is tonight, and it's mostly Tories turning on May. She will go down in history as the leader who destroyed the Conservative party.
To nobody's surprise at all Bercow would only allow four Remain amendments to be voted on in parliament tonight, happily they were all defeated and another so-called Tory has thrown his dummy out of the pram and resigned from the party. Brexit really is clearing out all the phonies.
In June 2017 Snow allegedly yelled "F*ck the Tories" while attending the almost all-white Glastonbury festival, something he later said "he has no recollection of saying". And this man is a newsreader for a supposedly impartial news programme on Channel 4.
I will skip any programme made by Channel 4, it is a bastion of the left. Why, only on Friday we had its senior news anchor being rather racist about white people. Channel 4’s new anchor Jon Snow has been heavily criticised after he claimed he’d “never seen so many white people” as he reported from the Brexit march. The 71-year-old broadcaster was reporting for Channel 4 News live from ...
What is sickening me today is MPs from across parliament coming out to defend Grieve after he lost his local party's confidence vote. This man went against the manifesto he was elected on and colluded with Speaker Bercow to do his best to wreck Brexit. He is a traitor to the electorate, and I sincerely hope there are many more MPs today who are feeling somewhat worried about their political ...
The EU is now saying a WTO Brexit on April 12th is likely. Job done.
