The conservative civil war got a whole lot hotter during yesterdays debate and last nights vote. Screaming at each other across their benches with shouts of "rubbish" or "sit down", tempers became even shorter as the debate wore on.. Accusing Kenneth Clarke of misleading the House, Marcus Fysh was drowned out in howls of protest from other "remainers" demanding that he withdraw the comment. For the conservatives and the government, things went from bad to worse as the animosity became more frenzied and even more hostile.The government lost the vote and the amendment was carried.

No sooner had the Deputy Speaker finished saying "The Ayes have it" than the row erupted into corridors of Westminster with Nadine Dorries hysterically screaming that, "They (the rebel conservative members) should be deselected and never allowed to stand as members of Parliament again", while numerous reports emerged of conservative whips bullying and threatening members and in at least one instance reducing a female conservative MP to floods of tears.Which ever way you look at it, behavior of that description is completely unacceptable, and the "Whip" or "Whips" involved should be exposed and disciplined.The recriminations and hostility has not abated overnight and is now reflected on the front pages of the National Press. The usual suspects particularly the Mail, Telegraph and Express compete with each other to discredit the "Rebels" and even to challenge their patriotism and real motives.

Theresa May flies to Brussels to continue negotiations with the other 27 EU members, very much aware of the open warfare within her party and within her government, that she leaves raging behind her. She is aware of this turmoil and so are the other member states of the European Union.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California.  Unless  they are actually  doing  some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t
