    I'm not talking about incapacity benefit or ESA of which my wife receives neither. Pip refusals are a tory policy mate. Cut the benefits of the disabled, although record numbers are now winning appeals. Anyone with a confirmed diagnosis shouldnt even be questioned in this degrading way. It should be used to weed out the ones without a diagnosis to clarify their situation.

    Corbynites, answer me this.
    You want to overturn the ref result bc some ‘experts’ said no deal will be a catastrophe for Britain.
    Many experts have said the same thing about Corbyn.
    Do we just ignore the result if you win an election then?
    For the sake of the country, you see.

    What have the experts said about Corbyn?
    Even Boris has said a no deal would be a bumpy road! I interpretate that as 'bumpy if your loaded', earthquake if you're poor!
    Mogg said the country wont see any benefits for nearly half a century. The money going into preparing for a no deal wouldnt be necessary if it wasnt going to **** things up! These are just things the most ardent leavers have said, that before you get to expert analysis/forecasts. So if I have to believe these people then why the **** would I want to make things potentially worse for myself. Luckily though, we know the 2 named above to be absolute lying ****ers, so everything may be fine after all.

    That's in your imagination Goldy. The fact is, all the pirates are internal to yourselves. Face facts.

    The pirates I had in mind sit on the opposition benches at Westminster, Remainers that are denying the electorate a crucial GE as Leave date approaches

    I would have thought the pirates were on both benches Goldy. Take off your rose tinted Tory specs.

    Wasnt crucial 2 days ago. Wasnt crucial when Boris was shutting down parliment. Wasnt crucial when they were all voting against their own government and May's deal. Now Boris ****s up and it becomes crucial. Sound desperate mate

    It becomes crucial when the Legislature takes over the business of the Executive. That's a constitutional crisis

    You mean the business of shutting down parliment? You said its crucial as the leave date is approaching. It was approaching last week but you never mentioned your thoughts of a GE being crucial.

    Boris said only 4 days would be lost and the opposition would have plenty of time to object. He was as good as his word!

    Done him the world of good. Not to worry, his imaginary negotiations are going well in his head!

    Yes, he's had a bad week. Could get worse if he drowns his sorrows and spills wine on Carrie's sofa again

    Sir Winston Churchill was a founding father of the European Union, convinced that only a united Europe could guarantee peace. He would surely be stunned about the state of today's Conservative party.

    Mike Pence to U.K.'s embattled Boris Johnson: We've got your back
    Prime minister's own brother quitting Parliament amid choppy seas

    His own brother is lying low, but U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson still has the Trump administration in his corner.
    That was the message from Vice President Mike Pence, who on Thursday said the White House backs Mr. Johnson’s bid to leave the European Union and is eager to negotiate a bilateral trade deal if he can pull off a “Brexit.”
    “The United States is ready, willing and able to immediately negotiate a free-trade agreement with the U.K.,” Mr. Pence told Mr. Johnson in a sit-down at 10 Downing Street. “We’re anxious to stand with you and do everything in our power to strengthen what has been an historic and special relationship between the United States of America and the United Kingdom. And it is embodied in the very warm and personal relationship that you have forged with President Trump, with myself and with our administration.”
    “Fantastic to have you here. Will will drive that free-trade agreement forward,” Mr. Johnson said, bemoaning the fact Americans don’t get enough British lamb, beef or haggis.
    The Conservative prime minister could use the vote of confidence. His own brother decided to quit Parliament moments before Mr. Pence arrived Thursday, continuing a rough run of form since Mr. Johnson assumed his post in late July.
