I'm welcomed just before I arrive into Waterloo Station with a banner displayed by Pimlico Plumbers, ''bollocks to brexit'' Another Remoaner who loves cheap labour:emoticon-0183-swear
They tried to get that sign removed although I think that would be wrong. It's actually quite funny.
 
Bercow has a long history of antagonising Tories, it was Labour MPs who originally secured him the job knowing what a pain in the arse he is/was to his own party and they are happy to keep him in the role...

The DUP are saying that they will support May in a confidence motion if her deal is voted down.

Must be another bung on the way.

What are you worried about. Another people's vote. It's in the bag isn't it? Labour on whom you rely have already stated that they would be happy with that as an alternative.

What part of 'we've already had the vote' and both Labour and the Tories promised to honour the result in their manifestos do you not understand?
 
Was going to post a while back about why I think the general demonisation of MPs - seen on this thread and just about everywhere else - is unfair. Decided not to bother as I figured it would be a rather lonely position, but came across a review of a new Isabel Hardman book on this topic:
https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp....t-the-wrong-politicians-isabel-hardman-review

The review seems good. Will read the book and let others know if it's any good.

Worst era for politicians ever imo.
 
if it keeps that idiot Corbyn out then she can bung all she wants.
Agree totally, If Comrade Jezzbollah and his band of lunatics get in power this country would well and truly be shagged, dear lord it’s unimaginable Can’t Add Abacus Abbot As Home Secretary, And Marxist McDonnel as Foreign Secretary and Taliban Khan our illustrious Mayor running the show, holy crap we’ll be just like Venezuela in about 3 months.
 
God the **** this government have presided over is ridiculous. Austerity over....more lies. Councils near me are on the verge of collapse due to even more cuts. The sooner these Tory lieing bastards are out the better

Every could has a silver lining and all that. The Tories definately won't win the next election. Bring on Corbyn.

Funny for someone who claims to 'not understand' and says in every other post 'not to trust politicians' and that they "all lie", you really are letting your guard down bob. I think we all know you are a remainer and Labour supporter. You don't need to be scared to admit it.

You don't worry yourself about what I think fella.
All politicians lie that's correct. Surely you won't be backing the Tories again after they've let you down so bad.

Agree it would be a nightmare. I have listened to their MP's of late and they really do come across as thick. Labour really are a mess of a party. At the front, you have Comrade Corbyn and the muppet show. Sitting behind them you have the idiots and behind them you have the conniving lot like Chukka. Although the Tories are crap at present they are still a million times better. However my future vote or not decides on the Brexit outcome.

I believe Bob it’s all planned
The masses don’t give a **** anymore
That was the tactic imo
Still knocks the no vote into touch as most thought it would ... now the knowledge and BS has been accepted nationwide
Great good Xmas bonus as my lot made a killing on Brexit and extra nice because most of it was the banks
