Tory Brexit rebels inflict major defeat on Theresa May

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 writing on the wall

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-government-zero-hour-contract-ban-latest-a9257281.html?fbclid=IwAR0OW6qhoVnO9MVH-E9ruKFLnL_V3NQ5PMpYEkGGHEXskJxkAsrr2UJjRIs Two-thirds of voters want  Boris Johnson ‘s government to ban zero-hours contracts, a poll has found. There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
