Mister M   1,606 #3937 Posted January 19, 2022 1 hour ago, Delbow said: The Guardian also report that Wakeford previously co-sponsored a bill advocating that where MPs defect, a bye election should be called. With a hard right voting record, I'm not sure this is much of a coup for Labour. They should call a bye election and stand someone else as a candidate - they'd win it. I agree with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Mister M Â Â 1,606 #3939 Posted January 19, 2022 Private Eye is reporting that Downing Street offered to relax covid rules for Philip's funeral, but the Queen declined saying she should set an example not be an exception. That's true leadership. Â Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

David Davis is a strong supporter of Brexit which wouldn't have happened if it was not for Boris becoming prime minister. The period after the 2016 EU referendum until the December 2019 general election was the worse time in our country's democratic history due to the rogue parliament who blocked Brexit which was the electorate's democratic choice. Boris saved our country and all elected Tory MPs should stay loyal to him for that reason alone. The only thing rogue in parliament at that time were the governments who twice illegally tried to undermine our parliamentary system and had to be slapped down by the supreme court.

The supreme court ruled that May's attempt to trigger Article 50 without a vote was an attempt to bypassed parliament. It also ruled that Johnson's proroguing of parliament was illegal.  I keep reminding Westie of this every time he wrongly claims that the parliaments during those times were rogue.

He chose the party which would most likely re-elect him next time. Not much difference between Labour and the Liberal Democrats, the latter are to the right of Labour, but as a LD he would not be re-elected.

So he got elected by Tory voters ,on a tory manifesto . Was happy with his about 80,000 salary and then changed his mind . Labour are welcome to this turncoat . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
