Eight of these 21 were members of May's cabinet, indicating just how flawed and dishonest that entity was. Indeed, it became apparent yesterday that the former Chancellor had been seeking and accepting legal advice from the European Union's lawyers.
It's not a question about one nation conservatism, it's a matter of treason.

Re: Tory Watch
Is that the same Boris who voted against a deal and his own Prime Minister a few months ago? Isn’t that rather hypocritical?BoniO wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2019 3:46 pmMy word.

Re: Tory Watch
Absolute farce. Won’t accept no deal, won’t accept deal on offer, unlikely to get new deal, won’t accept GE. The question is will the EU enforce the exit date, no deal by default. What the feck do our politicians want? Apart from a kick up the arse.

Re: Tory Watch
To be fair Mays deal wasnt a deal fair to all 4 nations involved in the union.
Make it fair to all & maybe leave with a better deal becomes easier.
Unlikely i know .
We cant have a GE on brexit alone
That just isnt right.

Re: Tory Watch
Mays deal was poor. Johnson tried to play hardball to get a better deal and given the 30 days to come up with an alternative from Merkal, seemed to be getting traction. However The current situation at home weakens his hand. Can’t see any changes to the deal now. Foot shooting big time. The EU, who don’t want a no deal either can just sit back and do nothing. They hold all the aces.
No GE? Then another referendum. Meaning we will stay in the EU. Not because people want it but, like me, I’m sick of Brexit. Stay members even though we will be ruled from Brussels.
Never been so sick of politics.

Re: Tory Watch
Trouble is Doh the tories tried to bluff the Power of the EU which proves how incompetent they are & have become . Yet leavers still take pot shots at Labour the left & corbyn.
Regardless of what they might do in power , it is a consistent lack of planning co-ordination policy or even ideas that have hindered the entire conservative party.
The electorate needs to remember this forever & therefore lead to the extinction of this old dinosaur of british politics once & for all.

We were never leaving on the 31st with no deal. You didn't really believe that, did you?

Stolen from the twitters:
Government defeats by MPs for each Prime Minister
Thatcher - 4 in 11 years
Major - 6 in 7 years
Blair - 4 in 10 years
Brown - 3 in 3 years
Cameron - 10 in 6 years
May - 33 in 3 years...
Johnson - 3 in 24 hours

Re: Tory Watch
So taking the Johnson logic a little further, when he returns from the the EU with the deal he claims he is going to get and members of the ERG vote against it they will have the whip removed?

Re: Tory Watch
Why is it unlikely we’ll get a new deal?
I distinctly remember being told, on many occasions, that this was going to be the easiest deal in history.

Re: Tory Watch
Rubbish. Boris wasn't getting any traction at all, you're just making that up. If there is another referendum it most probably will be a vote to stay in the EU but that will be because the younger generation will turn out this time, not just because people are sick of it. As for "Ruled by Brussels" well that always was a load of bollox but I'm not surprised that you feel the need to repeat it. If you wish to explain what you mean by that expression I'm all ears!dOh Nut wrote: ↑Wed Sep 04, 2019 10:50 pmMays deal was poor.

Brexit is just a meaningless word to describe a complex set of trading and cultural relations which either before or after leaving the EU will still have to exist in some form or other.Prestige Worldwide wrote: ↑Thu Sep 05, 2019 12:28 pm Seems like Brexit is doomed.

Re: Tory Watch
This was supposed to be the easy first step.
I see instead of slow walking the bill through the house of Lords with almost 100 ammendments, they have now removed these and trying to let bill through so that they can get a fastrack an election before Oct 31st. Still no guarantee that Boris will abide by the Law. He isn't even negotiating with the EU, has brought no solutions forward whilst at the same time he keeps saying negotiations going well and he expects a good deal, (straight out of Trumps book), pure exaggerated lies. He didn't even try to block May's deal from coming back last night trying to keep in with the pro Brexit labour majority MP's.
This is History happening before everybody's eyes. Buckle up and enjoy the ride. Crazy what's going down.

Re: Tory Watch
Not really. There were 600,000 people born in the England and Wales alone 18 years ago, so it's fair to assume a similar number have turned 18 this last year, and the news has been full of "there's going to be an election" the past few days. I'd be suspicious if there had been fewer registrations, to be honest.
