A powerful government representative refusing to confirm they’ll obey the legislative will of Parliament. Think about that for a moment. This is the UK. The correct answer is “we will always obey the will of Parliament”

If true, this would be staggeringly hypocritical: 8 members of the current cabinet have defied the party whip this year.
I want to honour our 2017 manifesto which promised a “smooth and orderly” exit and a “deep and special partnership” with the EU.
Not an undemocratic No Deal.

So fed up with this disinformation. The IEA is not a "think tank". It's a dark money lobbyist. @bbcpolitics knows this yet Edwards on TWICE yesterday. Complaints every day but zero response/accountability from BBC. Question: is there any way of getting it to uphold own charter???

It’s official: the High Court says that politicians can lie through their teeth, mislead & defraud the public to cheat them into giving you their votes. #Brexit #BorisJohnson #Bus #£350millionaweek

Brexit party in talks to join far-right group in EU parliament. So Sinn Féin MPs don’t take up their seats in Westminster because they regard it as illegitimate. What business has the Brexit party not only attending EU parliament but joining a block ? theguardian.com/politics/201…

Before twitter whips itself into a frenzy before 9.30 on Bank Hol Mon
1. EU elex don't translate directly into Gen Elex
2. Adding up diff vote shares to 'prove' one thing or another prob not v useful
3. Awful Lab-Con results reflect state of parties as well as Brexit policy

I reckon in his heart of hearts @Nigel_Farage will be disappointed at this. His support not that much greater than when he was UKIP 2014 and that is with the advantage of a disintegrating government failing on Brexit and two main parties who have him a free run on the campaign

He has lied unceasingly to wives, mistresses, employers, voters, colleagues, party leaders & the media. For the modern Conservative Party, *all* of this is outweighed by the fact that Boris Johnson writes racist things & is still pretending that Brexit is in any way a good idea.

Today’s vote explained - Tory strategy - blame the labour party for the delay to brexit on symbolic brexit day, a long delay and a general election on the same day as the european parliamentary elections, just to focus minds on labour treachery. theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Is it this simple? May can’t blame the disaster on the people who caused the disaster because it would finish the party. So she’s conspiring with the people who caused the disaster to blame the disaster on the EU, secure in the support of media which helped cause the disaster.

Disgraceful. If there's money available for areas in difficulty, why hasn't it been given to them already? And if the Labour MPs in question accept this bribe the word 'disgraceful' doesn't begin to cover it. - The bribe May is offering is, by the way, taxpayers' money.
