Be cool if Boris presents better deal to parliament

Then JCorbs and the gang who vow to do ‘whatever it takes to stop no deal’ vote it down

Cos we get the chance to run around waving arms and squealing ‘liars’

An optimistic outlook 'means you live longer'

On average, the most optimistic men and women had an 11-15% longer lifespan, and were significantly more likely to live to 85 compared with the least optimistic group.

Surely this can't be true?

Government to ask Queen to suspend Parliament

Seems Boris is spoiling for a fight.

With Tories polling around 30-31% currently and Brexit Party on around 15%, he only needs another 3-4% from Brexit Party to have a workable majority?

Will be tempting for a big chunk of that 15% to vote Tory if he makes the right noises.

I assume the hard ball tactics is amongst other things aimed at gaining their votes when the GE comes, which looks more and more likely.

For all the moaning and groaning from both sides about almost everything, I can't ever see a remainer answer the underlying question about staying in an EU that is falling apart. All they hark on about is how it is today(not that it seems that great anyway), none of them are prepared to look 2 /5/10 years into the future and see what is likely to happen elsewhere, even if we aren't the first to leave, even after all this shite.

Arlene Foster chirps in; welcomes the affront to democracy and says this.

"This will be an opportunity to ensure our priorities align with those of the government"

Another billion or so would "ensure" their support I guess; just like last time

Yes. It's good that. Where does a solution lie since there seems no appetite for the compromise that is represented by something like May's deal.

Watching the BBC waste more tax payers money.

Reporters outside Buck Palace AND Balmoral to say exactly the same thing. Not like the Queen will pop out and say anything, is it? What the fuck is the point bar a nice jolly for reporters.....

Loving all the "afront to democracy" statements from the very people that want to stop a democratically voted for Brexit.

Hmm.

I’m looking forward to the upcoming election when some of the parties that are concerned about the integrity of our democracy are likely to agree not to stand in certain constituencies, denying the public a choice across all political views.

Real democracy in action.

Every side is wanting to perform their own personal affront to democracy right now.
