At some point in the uproar yesterday, my wife told me that Geoffrey Cox had effectively admitted the referendum wasn't mandatory, before blustering on. I can't find anything about this - did anyone else hear or see it, or did she imagine it?

Must admit I thought that things went so low yesterday that no one on here would stoop to whataboutory quotes at a time like this, but I guess there's always one...

No, he’s admitted to me face to face that he enjoys stirring it up.
Totally agree. It's clear that there needed to be some sort of agreement that met the approval of the entire House; to do that required some compromise. May offered little in the way of compromise until it was too late but Johnson, it's clear, offers none at all and has actually driven long-standing Tories out of the party. I'm not sure why you think we'd be out

It's a variation on the joke I did on the Christmas Lights thread and both stolen from Phoenix Nights with Roy Walker but, whatever.ah OK 'just fishing', whatever

Out of interest, in what way do you think the deal that Johnson would have got, would have differed to the one that May put forward ?

I wonder who the first NSC poster will be to back Johnson's diatribe last night
Sadly, I'm not as surprised as yourselves

He's already fired 24 Tory MPs, he's lost another half dozen or so to the opposition benches - he's hardly a unifying figure in his own party. If he'd succeeded Cameron, rather than just lose a bit of their majority, I genuinely think he'd have lost the 2017 election. If he had, you might be right, we might have left the EU but with a customs union and single market alignment, but I guess we'll never know.
I can sympathise the other day I lost my car keys.Each to their own. I reckon Johnson, in a few short weeks, has become the worst PM since Lord North who lost America.
Lord North might want to look under a tea towel, in the kitchen.

No recess for Tory party piss-up next week.
Boris has had his pants taken down and been given a good thrashing
If the Tories has adopted a more conciliatory tone and give some sort of apology there might have been goodwill from the opposition, instead this where we are now.

After a chastening 11-0 defeat at the Supreme Court, you'd have hoped to minimise the damage on aggregate even if the tie was lost, but to then be 7-0 down at home too is really bad news
You seem to be suggesting this absolute cluster**** is Terry May's fault.
Strange times indeed.

I'm assuming everyone is in favour of honouring the memory of Jacques Chirac by leaving? It is what he wouldn't have wanted.
Boris has already paid his tribute before he even died as yon Chirac loved a little bit of corruption.

His own sister has spoken out, saying he’s under tremendous pressure from all the billions invested in shorting the pound with a No Deal!
