    But naturally that does not encompass their wanting to stay in the EU.

    Reading here that the Government has agreed to do everything in its power to bring Thomas Cook customers home. So that's 3 years they'll be stuck in Europe then.

    Please, pleease God...make it so!

    Boris Johnson will be dismissed by Queen if he tries to ignore court order to implement Benn Act, says Dominic Grieve. Grieve, one of the 21 Tories who had the whip removed after rebelling over Brexit and one of the MPs involved in drafting the Benn Act to rule out a no-deal Brexit on 31 October, has said he thinks the legislation is robust, and that ministers will not find loopholes in it.


    In an interview with Sky News, Grieve said that if Boris Johnson tried to ignore the law, the courts could force him to comply.


    "[Johnson] would be taken to court and a writ of mandamus would be issued against him and he would be told, as a matter of law, that he has to write the letter [to the EU requesting a Brexit delay]. The case could go to the supreme court and I suspect the courts could deal with it very quickly."


    Grieve also said that, if Johnson tried to ignore the courts ultimately he could be dismissed as prime minister by the Queen
    How good would that be?

    Delighted to announce that absolutely no flights are suspended today! We've put about 150 in prorogation, but obviously that's an entirely separate thing so doesn't count.

    And yet it seems the Queen will not be giving Bercow his P45.

    Ever thought you might be misreading things?

    I have reported a number of your posts. Your frivolous use of the smiley emoticons is beyond ludicrous. You are quite capable of expressing yourself properly, without the use of visual aids. Child.

    I am starting to think Boris is doing it all on purpose to sabotage hard Brexit

    there is no way he could be that stupid and not see what would happen if he ignored the UK parliament,

    surely someone was speaking to him about his actions and their consequences

    When the fat cvunt is pumping away and about to shoot his wad do you think he pulls out at the last moment because he doesn't wish to risk pregnancy?

    I prefer the term "Sans Deal Brexit", it has a more elegant way to say it, and reminds the Brits how the French are material in their decision

    In the same kind of way as the Queen's butler will be involved in what happens to BoJo.

    Hasn't occurred to you that you're just too dim, of course.

    Goes with the territory.



    The French will stamp their high heels, act important and go along with the general EU consensus, as always.

    Brexit couldn't happen without the French, you silly English man. Barnier, our man, negotiated your complete surrender

    and we all know that the Chavs and MPs hate the Germans and the French more than anything, and was one of the motivation for the Euro-skeptics to exist and for Brexit to happen

    The Irish are to lose several billion euros in this mess but the catalyst for war will be the re-imposition of Westminster rule favouring the DUP and the unilateral ending of the GFA.

    Things are truly shaping up nicely. Civil war in NI and Scottish independence.

    The Tories are certainly going to reap the whirlwind.

    Johnson will be a target for the rest of his miserable life.

    Boris is not going survive this either way,

    if he doesn't ask for an extension, he goes to jail

    if he does ask for an extension, the next step is REVOKE and Brexit is GAME OVER and he is gone for good in the next GE

    ^^Yup, BoJo acting like the PM that the orange nutters have been dreaming of.

    Not one division in Ireland but two.

    And now everyone's pretending that the only problem with May's deal was the backstop.

    Not the 'economic suicide' bit.



    The only consolation is that at least bungholeboy is too busy working out his short selling scams to post here.

    and let's have a laugh this week with the lastest version of the new deal, the shitshow must go on

    Boris Johnson to set out details of 'final' Brexit offer
    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-49894100

    Boris Johnson will set out details of his "final" negotiating offer to the EU on Wednesday in pursuit of a "fair and reasonable" Brexit compromise.

    The prime minister will address the Tory conference before submitting new proposals, intended to form the legal text of a new Brexit deal, to Brussels.

    Only by leaving the EU on 31 October can the UK "move on", he will argue.

    The public will no longer be "taken for fools" by those who want to delay or block the process, he will claim.

    On the eve of his speech, Mr Johnson told a conference fringe meeting in Manchester, hosted by the DUP, that he hoped to reach a deal with the EU over the course of "the next few days".

    The government has insisted it will not negotiate a further delay beyond the Halloween deadline, saying this would be unnecessary and costly for the UK.

    However, under the terms of a law passed by Parliament last month, the PM faces having to request another extension unless MPs back the terms of withdrawal by 19 October - two days after a summit of European leaders.

    On Tuesday, Mr Johnson dismissed leaked reports that customs posts could be set up on either side of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.

    He said suggestions the UK wanted "clearance zones" for goods as part of a package of alternative arrangements to replace the Irish backstop were wide of the mark.

    While he conceded some customs checks would be needed as the UK leaves the EU's customs union and single market, he said technology could keep them to an "absolute minimum".

    The BBC's Europe editor Katya Adler said the mood in Brussels was "not optimistic".

    She said EU leaders feared the prime minister's proposed alternative to the Irish backstop could mean the bloc abandoning its red lines - something member states were not willing to do at the moment.
