If the whole "Leave" campaign was predicated on 'porkies' - where does that leave the result? See you in court Boris.

cp: You were spot-on yesterday regarding Boris, Farage and Banks: All are first rate Political stunts.

This is getting really serious, or has become I should say.

We've got people obstructing democracy with apparent impunity, starting with Bercow, the so-called Speaker.

Then there's the dopes calling for a second referendum. I'd say, bring it on and Leave will win again but to have another referendum would be so undemocratic and stupid beyond belief.

Someone dig up Maggie, would you.

Pete - "5 months to go before we leave with no deal by default. Will soon go and we'll be free from the horrendous EU with a bright future ahead of us."

I sincerely hope so, but sounds kinda familiar.

Those workers, like most on here, need a greater sense of their own intelligence and ability. Look at your house, your life, your net-worth, your achievements, what you read (do you read?)... does that imply great intelligence and ability to you?

I guess worms don't realise their own limitations...

LOL

Minerve - I think you will find that they voted for it!

[minerve 2] 30/5/2019 09:30

Ground Hog Day.

Didn't we have this chimp chatter a few months' ago?

Oh dear, the chimps are trying to defend Boris the liar.

How sad. How very sad.

By doing it via crowd funding the backers are in disguise?...

There won't be much of a tab to pick up, Max. It'll be struck out - which is what the District Judge should have done in the first place.

[patientcapital] 30/5/2019 08:44

Unsurprising.

[grahamite2] 30/5/2019 08:31

Highly amusing to find the anti-Boris remoaner had his fingers in the till, Max.

One has to ask what has happened parliamentary privilege ? At the same time the basis of the statement written on bus that allegedly attributed to Boris Johnson was surely a statement by the party .



And any one with any sense would take it as an estimate because only the civil service government of the day would know the precise details, and why did they and David Cameron , Osborne not question these figures at the time ? Because any one could see they are only estimates and depend on so many factors.



As far as lies are concerned one needs to look know further than Tony Blair over Iraq . And Mrs May and her characterisation of her deal as Brexit which clearly it is not ,these two do not have a leg to stand on !



If the Boris is going to be hang for an estimate that people do not believe or that is open to question . Then there will not be much left of parliament . The estimates also the Abbot and the Labour Party have been surreal ?

Leadership candidates who say they will renegotiate the Withdrawal Agreement need to tell us why they think the EU will want to

y JOHNREDWOOD | Published: MAY 30, 2019


Several leadership hopefuls seem to think their mere presence in Brussels after becoming PM would get the EU to change its often stated position that there can be no change to the Withdrawal Treaty. It is difficult to understand why they think this. The EU has repeatedly said they will not reopen the Treaty. The EU did nothing to help Mrs May get it through the Commons when she was their best hope of doing so.

The new Commission may not be formed before the summer break. There is no indication that any candidate for Commission President wants to change the policy on the Withdrawal Treaty. It is very unlikely that a new Commission, if one is formed by September, will want to devote the first month of its life locked in major negotiations with a country leaving the Union. They have many important issues they need to handle for the member states staying in. They will want to reinforce those MEPs who believe in the project, not help those trying to leave.

Let us examine today, for example, the prospectus of Jeremy Hunt. I thought he did a generally good job as Health Secretary. I liked the way he believed in the offer of free health care in relation to need. He worked hard to ensure higher quality care with better outcomes was the driving force in management. His record as Foreign Secretary has been more mixed. I find it odd that he has changed his position on Brexit, moving from saying No deal is an acceptable fall back position to now saying a No Deal Brexit is political suicide. He does not seem to have understood what Brexit voters were voting for last week, nor understood that the Conservative party can only rebuild its position with electors if it recaptures many of those Brexit voters who used to vote Conservative. I do not see how he would do that if he wants to block a No Deal Brexit. Nor do I see how he thinks he could get a better deal if he has taken No Deal off the table. The promise of just leaving was always the best way to secure a decent set of agreements on departure. It was a tragedy that Mrs May would not do this. Any new PM has to be ready to leave on 31 October at the latest with no Withdrawal Agreement. Mr Hunt seems to be continuity May. I note that he only posted two items in his local constituency blog last year and one this year, and just one local issue in 2018 and in 2019 so far on his website.

Have I missed something about his candidature that makes him worthy of being PM?

Marcus Ball: How Boris Johnson's accuser over Brexit spent donations on self-defence classes and special cupcakes



Bill Gardner
29 MAY 2019 • 9:30PM



The well-dressed young man looks directly into the camera and begins to talk.

“Hello Boris Johnson,” he says, with the beginnings of a smirk.

“My name is Marcus J. Ball. I am a private prosecutor, and I have a problem with lying politicians.”

This is the 29-year-old history graduate whose campaign threatens to overshadow Mr Johnson’s Tory leadership push, and perhaps even to derail Brexit itself.
