The years of the Conservative government merry go round comedy and chaos on the question of Brexit, descended even further into farce yesterday (22nd May), as Theresa May allegedly barricaded herself into the cabinet room at Number 10 locked all the doors and refused to receive visits from Jeremy Hunt, Sajid Javid and other cabinet members. This was the culmination of a day which witnessed the Prime Minister deliver a statement to the Commons, detailing her plan for the Withdrawal Bill, which would be the 4th iteration of "her deal" to be presented to the House, in order to reach agreement on implementing Brexit. A significant number of MP's, including Labour, Liberal Democrats, SNP, and DUP, in addition to scores of Conservatives, had already stated that the "new deal" is not acceptable and would be voted down when and if the deal was brought back.

This would probably explain why there were so many empty spaces on the Government benches during PMQ's and which remained vacant when the PM delivered her statement. It was clear then to all, that he Prime Minister's time had finally run out as groups of Conservative members scuttled off to hold their own discussions as to who should be the next leader and when the transfer should happen. Theresa May however, who has been described as a limpet, managed to stave off any attempts to remove her there and then and retreated the bunker of Number 10 from where she has now managed to push a meeting with the 1922 Committee to "discuss her position". off until Friday at the earliest. The PM has been of the verge of departing many times over the last few months and yet she remains. She has resisted attempts to remove her from office many times recently, and may even survive this one. The mind boggles.

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...

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

  http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria.                           This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
