Boris really is fowl. He only took the job to use BREXIT as a feather for his cap. But now he is coup-ed up with egg on his face. What a Cock.

Calling Corbyn a chicken is a cheep shot.
Obviously its heaven for the punsters but incredibly childish that this is the best they can come up with.
Not eggsactly what I wanted to hear.Quote:

Only activists think this is funny. Both sides do it. It’s incredibly condescending in fact.Quote:

You're right, it does sound bizarre, but British politics is completely bizarre just now, with events nobody dreamed possible before the Brexit vote. Thornbury expresses the dilemma of many pro-Europeans who accept the referendum result must be implemented but think it's a disastrous course of action. That creates a terrible dilemma about what to do: do you stand back and allow something you firmly believe is going to ruin people, or do you refuse to accept a democratic decision of the referendum? What do you do as an elected legislator when you sincerely believe turkeys have voted for Christmas? This dilemma, as we have seen, cuts across party lines and even families. When the country is split down the middle, both sides end up trying to square a circle. On the leave side we've gone from promises of "the easiest trade deal in history" (Michael Gove) to no deal.Quote:

No, it’s law now. He has to ask for it. The bill even includes the letter he has to give them asking for the extension, so that there is no funny business.Quote:

He's between a rock and hard place now, having said we will leave on Halloween without a deal if a necessary. His election trap has failed and there doesn't seem any further room for manoeuvre. There is no chance of securing a new deal with the EU at this stage.Quote:

Let’s face facts no deal is not an option. And when the no deal zealots lose the plot you can hit them with their own argument “it didn’t say how we would leave on the ballot. Just In v Out.
Out with a deal is still out. And let’s try and make it cross party without stupid red lines made up by the Tory party.

Toffs fall out:
Soames:
"(Rees-Mogg) is a living example of what a moderately cut double-breasted suit and a decent tie can do with an ultra-posh voice and a bit of ginger stuck up his arse."
This is soooo much better than calling someone a chlorinated chicken.
Soamesy for next PM in November.
Why would Rees-Mogg have a piece of ginger up his Gary? It must be something those posh types get up to; a lot of them are perverts.Quote:

It may be in Johnson’s interest to do that, and fight the election as the Brexit martyr.

First poll since this weeks parliament takeover.

We are clearly heading for a hung parliament with the tories losing seats. They will lose at least ten in Scotland,ten in those seats of mps they have deselected,a couple in Wales and also the dup are looking like losing a few too so labour,libdems and snp look like a coalition is there if they want it. Who the leader is is the problem.Funny how this opinion poll isnt splashed across the papers.My worry is it is getting close to desparation for johnson and cummings and they might resort tp desperate measures.Quote:

If only it worked that way.Ideally someone more electorally appealling like keir starmer could take over but momentum run the party so i doubt corbyn will stand down unless the coalition partners insist on someone else. I hope the likes of McConnell can see sense but i wouldn't bet on it.Quote:
