I guess all the proud Englishmen were waving their flags at this march.

i wouldn't trust any of them as far as i could throw them. but this is how things are, politicians could be out of office by the next month, we rely on others to implement legislation into actual processes. normally we dont watch the making of the legislation sausage from field to supermarket, just eat them at the end. lots of messy stages in between.

Which is EXACTLY what he is going for, hence the bollocks currently going on in the House of Commons, General Election before Christmas IMO

Agree with the first bit. Not so sure about the second. Too many people buy the bullshit Boris image.

Is Corbyn really the best the Labour Party can do? They should smash this shower in an election. David Miliband for example. Shame they’ve decided to be Momentum’s mouthpiece
Let's not forget the only thing Tory members were prepared to say they would stop Brexit for would be if Brexit meant Corbyn in No.10.

I haven't look through all of them but it seems a lot of these Labour MPs have Tory's close in second place.
I wonder how many voted tactically (possibly with the Whip's backing) on the 2nd reading to help their chances in the GE.

I guess so given she went to the country but she beat him albeit with a smaller majority. Are you indicating Corbyn is the answer?

It's going to be a long way back to credibility for many of these negative self-serving time-wasting pompous wankers in parliament. If for no other reason, this has been a valuable exercise.
If we do end up leaving , at the very least Brexiteers have been shown that you don’t just ride roughshod over democracy because you have strong feelings about something. This is due process. This is how government works. You don’t get to pick the bits you like just because you feel something.

My mistake, mea culpa. The DUP have really played a blinder then. Not supported May despite her red line about No Border in the Irish Sea, believed Boris when he said he'd keep that promise, then watch on as he does exactly what he said he wouldn't do then wins a majority for it in Parliament, then they realise he can win a vote even without their support.
Even worse, whilst Stormont sits empty Westminster has abortion decriminalised and gay marriage permitted in Northern Ireland.
Now they know how the Lib Dems feel about getting f*cked over by the Tories.

He's always pilloried for being a Commie/ Traitor/ Racist etc etc but somehow is still in the job while on the other side of the House, the party of probity, common sense and fiscal competence ( Allegedly ! ) have fallen out like rats in a barrel and shafted each other ? He may well be the solution, especially as Boris has had to admit that the time of austerity has to end and we have to put back the money cut from Education, the Police and the NHS , all Labour policies long before the Tories thought it prudent to adopt.

I blame Len McCluskey, the leader of Unite the Union, and I left his union because of it - I am working down towards retirement anyway, but...….
McCluskey supported Ed Miliband against David in that leadership election. I am convinced that if David had got it, he would have won the next election..... or at least done well enough to survive as leader and win the following election.
McCluskey is also a great friend of and supporter of Corbyn. I've actually met Corbyn and spoken to him a couple of times and on a one to one he's actually OK. But I abhor the politics that surround him, the deselection stuff going on and so on. I detest the "If you're not for us, you're against us" sort of attitude.
And I am not a "there's no smoke without fire" sort of person, but there are some impressive people have resigned from the party because of him, particularly around anti-Semitism.

need more than that, 38-40%? depends on turnout and how the votes fall in the safe seats, Tory and Labour got 42% and 40% last election and here we are.
