    As usual when the argument is lost you move the goalposts. Stop digging – you already cannot see out of the hole.

    You wrote “The thing about the original brexit vote was that it was advisory”.

    You never mentioned any Act of Parliament. When David Cameron stood outside 10 Downing Street and announced the Referendum he quite clearly stated that he would enact the result. A matter of absolute fact backed up by video evidence. He never said that he would take the result as advice and ignore it like regularly happens in EU countries that just keep running Referenda until they get the result they want.


    Brain dead Remainers are still crying about losing the vote because of a combination of complacency and stupidity. If the EU is so wonderful then why did virtually none of them emigrate to Europe while thousands of illegal immigrants want to be here rather than in safe but failing EU countries?

    At some point this year we will have a vote that will not be advisory. It will probably see another disastrous Labour government brought to power. That is the black and white of it.

    We got on the bus with a mystery location we were told would be brilliant then the driver jumped out. We’re definitely still going to have a fantastic time and it’ll all be worth it. I’m very clever.

    It is now clear: Ousting Truss killed the Tories

    I am astounded that it has taken anyone in the media this long to notice. Since 2010 the Conservative Party has been in office either on its own or in coalition, but there has only been a conservative Prime Minister for 49 days.

    David Cameron was a social democrat, just a Blair clone that continued on the agenda in league with wingman Nick Clegg in coalition. Once he got rid of the unwanted wingman, a foolish act of Hubris saw him try (and fail) to quell the Euroscepticism in the Party’s ranks.

    Theresa May took up the impossible task of getting a Brexit agreement that she did not want and most of the rancid Parliamentarians on both sides of the House did not want. Her efforts at BRINO were thwarted and she failed to get a majority by calling an election. Many of the Remainers quit Parliament or lost their seats.

    Boris Johnson was just a populist. He promised to get Brexit done but patently only delivered BRINO and failed to follow through on any of his commitments. When the plague came along Bolshevik Boris and Socialist Sunak went on a zero interest rate spending spree that has made the national debt unsustainable and the public sector bloated with unproductive bureaucrats.

    Given the choice for a successor of Liz Truss or Rishi Sunak, the Party membership went for the one offering to do something conservative. That ended badly and now Sunak is Prime Minister unopposed and will be leaving the country when he loses his seat at the election so the Loony Party cannot tax his wife’s wealth.

    ‘Everywoman’ and horse sculptures chosen for display at London’s fourth plinth

    What do British people want to see in Trafalgar Square? A statue of Black ‘everywoman’ by an American artist? If it were of a London single mother with a career criminal son then it might be relevant to London. It would just have to look like Diane Abbott, Comrade Corbyn’s old bike ride around East Germany.

    If it were up for public debate, would the more than 80 per cent white, straight, binary people not rather see a statue of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a woman who spent her whole life in service of her country and the Commonwealth?

    In Leftie dominated Londonistan, only minorities, religious extremists and queers seem to matter. The next ‘art’ to feature on the Fourth Plinth will be a sculpture made up of plaster casts of trans deviants. I am sure that Owen Jones will be there to live-stream on Twatter when it is unveiled. What does a Mexican transgender woman have to do with London?

    I'm a brexiter and I agree with the poster you have quoted, the referendum was advisory, it was not legally binding.

    You’re a ****in idiot .

    It was defined as advisory by the law you dumb **** . British law which many brexiteers believe is infallible .

    Cameron made a decision that wasn’t actual policy you ****in moron.

    The point about it being advisory is factual you ****in cretin.

    Treating you as you deserve to be treated , like a thick ****in imbecile .

    The Tufton St- generated gaslighting behind this preposterous woman is flabbergasting. Her whole argument revolves around saying that the bond market situation was not her fault - it was the BOE's. Yet she was warned of what would happen by even Sunak in the leadership election, let alone her Treasury advisors whom she sacked for not telling her what she wanted to hear.

    The bottom line is this - the IEA, and Mark Littlewood in particular, reached a pinnacle of 20 years of influence and control over the Tory Party AND GOT EXACTLY WHAT THEY WANTED with Truss' 55 days. The day she came to power Littlewood was on 5Live boasting about it and predicting how wonderful her upcoming budget would be, and how she learned everything she knew from the Tufton St lobbysphere. Now what we have is concerted gaslighting from them after a year or so of silence, trying to rehabilitate their thick-as-mince glove puppet through their usual chosen echo chambers of the Telegraph/Spectator/Times/GBeebies axis. Completely reminiscent of a 1930s Soviet collective plan falling to bits when it comes into contact with reality, then blaming every ****er from the peasants to foreign governments for its abject failure.
