The Lords sitting on this committee must have had a fair few jolly visits to the seaside at our expense. I suppose we have to keep the superannuated old duffers occupied in some way, given how much they cost us.

I wonder if Labour and the Tories will be knocking on doors asking for votes?  They probably won't have the nerve to show their faces after the traitorous goings-on at Westminster.

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.

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 ...
