  • Easy words, lizzie lee, with no basis in reality. Yes people have bought the lazy stereotype of Boris as a right wing buffon, but he is neither of those. He's a liberal in most things, and a buffoon in none. Not now. He's a very serious politician who knows how to win votes and elections and policy arguments, as the EU is already realising and the voters of this country are starting to see. Try to look beyond the scruffy hair and disheveled clothing (both of which you may have noticed have been greatly improved of late) and make a judgement on what he does. I think he's going to surprise a lot of people.

  • No, she actually couldn’t have. I don’t think you understand how the British political system works. And even though I disagree with what Johnson did, it would have been more worrying for democracy if a monarch for life had stopped it against the PM’s advice.

  • You mean the voters who were told by Lib dems, Labour and Tories that a vote for the Tories was the only way to ensure blocking independence. How did that work out.. I mean who won most of the Westminster seats? That would be the SNP then?

  • The monarchy, in the 21st century, is inherently a reactionary instution. Individual members might flirt with 'progressive' ideas or causes, but when it comes right down to it, the monarchy's continued existence is reactionary and retrograde. They serve no political purpose but to defend inequality and to provide a constitutional fig-leaf for actions that are plainly anti-democratic.

  • Of course she didn't say that, otherwise it would have had quotation marks around it, like the other reported speech. It isn't overreach, it is comment. This is a political sketch.
    As for Labour, I have an email from Sir Keir Starmer KCB QC MP, former Director of Public Prosecutions and head of the CPS stating quite clearly what he thinks should happen next. As he said himself, things move very rapidly, so we shall have to see what the coming days bring.

  • boris plans to 'free us' from the dictatorship of the EU, by becoming a dictator.
    Dare I say it, we didn't see that on the side of no bus.

  • I understand it sets a dangerous precedent. My point was that, in this particular instance, will it really make any damned difference? It seems to me that MP's are hyperventilating about it not because they will actually do anything useful if they manage to block it, but simply so they can appear to be important.

  • But inaccurate, not a man, but an entire Party that would destroy the country if it gained just a little more time in power, they are truly truly showing their true colours.

    Eddie Mair sums up everything just so perfectly.

  • Oh . . .and one last thing: all prorogation does is keep the law as it is for a period of time.

    Wrong, sorry Franco. Not according to the legal expert hired by the Beeb at 12:30pm yesterday (Dr Caroline Hasledon, I think). She was quite clear that Prorogation cuts off any incomplete bill and so it can't become an act unless started again. And that is precisely why there will be such a hurry in Parliament next week and why the HOL is considering sitting at weekends and all night just so they finish without being stopped by filibustering..
  • yes. Bozo has made England's two-party Scotland problem even worse.

  • The SNP NEVER supported Hitler. Another Unionist lie. The only MP who was charged was in fact from the Unionist Party.

  • Good example - a man who lost by almost 3 million votes. Choosing voters is what the Electoral College does in the USA.

    I think Terry Pratchett took me to think, though I do remember one science teacher telling a class (I think we first years at high school but it could have been second year) that the atomic (Rutherford–Bohr) model was so absolutely not true but a great model and we would be tested on it. One of the few times a teacher told us we were being told lies. I think he even showed us an electron microscope picture of an atom.

  • 'Door Matt' Hancock - sharp as ever, John but charmingly mild compared to Hugh Grant's recent comment about the retro renegade Johnson:

  • All nonsense. You've been duped, like lots of people, into the terms of the prorogation. What you say refers to the idea floated a few weeks ago of proroguing Parliament from now until November 1st, as you rightly say thereby depriving Parliament of the chance to tackle Brexit and challenge Boris. But that's not what he has done. Parliament will only be prorogued for a few weeks between now and October 31st, most of the break being for the party conferences. Parliament will sit next week for a week and then reconvene on October 14th and will stay in session well past October 31st. Parliament will have weeks to validate Johnson's majority, or pass legislation, or do whatever it wants to do.
    The Queen was absolutely right to approve the prorogation at the advice of her Prime Minister, not to do that would be unprecedented. Parliament reconvenes next week. They can challenge him then if they want. No crisis, constitutional or otherwise, here.

  • It's not xenophobia to think that the decisions for a country are best made by the people who live in that country, and have to live with the consequences of that decision.

    The Smith report was voted on by folk who couldn't tell you what the constitutional status of Scotland in the UK is, and don't even realise that Scots law, religion, and education is entirely different from England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Jeremy Corbyn for one, who appeared to be ignorant that Scottish law is different.

    Xenophobia is thinking that the decisions should only be made by people born in that country, who only speak that country's language, and aren't the wrong religion or colour. And were born to parents who had been in the country all their lives etc.

    Scotland isn't perfect by a long way, we still have racist and sectarian bigots, but they are opposed by our country's leader, not dog-whistled for support like Johnson and Cummings do.

  • She's female, and differently-gendered.


    Really can't tell if you're angling for a bite there (if so, you're welcome) or testing your new outraged monocle-popping lexical generator (if so, needs some work).
  • insofar as you addressing the prorogation: doesnt matter what the parliament will do can do or even should do. it simply cant be specifically avoided as a tactic of the executive without undermining parliamentary sovereignty.

  • Ironically there was a time, in the not so distant past, that I thought that if Davidson took up a Westminster seat she could quite possibly, if put into leadership, save the Tory party, that truly scared me.

    Nice to know that this isn't going to happen now, but given the levels of back-stabbing and hypocrisy in the Tory party it should have been expected that they would ultimately seal their own demise one way or another.

  • We'll soon be home and hosed! ... Now, where are those water cannons?

  • The bile s emphatically in the eye of that particular beholder. Or applied by his Orange eye wear.

  • Sorry, radders. I'm just fucking tired. And fucking sick and tired.

    Bah, humbug!

    I sympathise. When you welcomed me back the other day I was so tired I was too late to reply to you. Then when I came too and realised what Johnson was going to do, my fatigue grew and grew. Sorry about that and good night, Justa.
  • i blame the government. the Monarch acted on 'advice'. yes the Monarch's role is easily abused. by the government. i agree something like the Irish President is better. but in the current political war better to put the blame squarely where it in fact clearly belongs. really not necessary now to campaign for a Republic. counterproductive and besides the current point.

  • Goodnight, radders. Sorry for being an arse.
    See you tomorrow

  • Johnson believes he is popular. He is in for a shock. People loathe him.

  • I think they are saying that the monarchy is pointless from a political point of view. Keep them for the tourists.

  • Her point was that many of the people who voted leave had been individually targeted by Cambridge Analytica with the able cooperation and assistance of Facebook.They were fed information to stoke their fears, one example quoted by someone was that people from the Asian sub-continent had voted in a majority for Leave and we were shown messages that, if I understood correctly, suggested to them that if they voted to stay with the EU then their kids would be sent abroad. And apparently they still hold that 'prejudice' (postjudice?). Ms Miller's point was that if fears were being stoked on one side then we have to stoke them on the other side. Cruel? Yes. But not as cruel as letting Brexit happen whereupon BAME residents will be forced to leave, one by one.

  • Comments here will close shortly. Thanks for your discussion!

  • I understand why people are opposed to this prorogation, but I'm not sure what they think Parliament would actually do if it were to sit. All the indications, over the course of several years, are that Parliament would simply continue to be as useless as tits on a bull.

    Let's face it, there are only three options:

    1/ Revoke A50. Parliament has refused to do this.

    2/ Vote the existing WA through. Parliament has refused to do this.

    3/ Crash out with no deal. Parliament has said it refuses to do this, but by rejecting the only alternatives has effectively locked it in.

    And don't bother suggesting yet another extension. An extension is not a resolution. It's simply more can-kicking. If given time for more of that, Parliament will likely continue kicking until time runs out again, because that is what it has always done, at which point it will panic and try pretending to be audacious and effective, because that is what it has always done.

    Since Parliament has voted for no deal, by blocking the only alternatives, and since they won't do anything to stop it even if they do sit, there are grounds for wondering what the hell is the point of them sitting.

  • She had the option of taking on Boris head on, she could have been the future of the Tories. But no, she's a bloody coward, we've all raised children. The fact that she used her child as an excuse is pathetic. As if being a politician is a difficult job.

  • Sorry SNP plus Labour 1,600,000

    Tories 750,000

    With PR

  • Davidson doesn't fancy fighting two elections in Scotland knowing Johnson has killed her stone dead? Who can blame her whatever their politics in not wasting her time in such pointless failure? Her views will be shared by Tories all over the UK. Johnson and Cummings have blown the Tories up. They are both a bit daft.

  • I think you've fallen for the Boris mythology that he's a bumbling fool. He's far from it. The EU leaders have come to realise that now. He's a deadly serious politician who has a team around him who know how to do politics. He'll wipe the floor with Corbyn at a general election just on character and personality alone. If Brexit isn't sorted by then Labour are in big trouble.

  • The basis for the monarch appointing a Prime Minister is the ability of the latter to govern by forming a majority in the Commons. Proroguing Parliament has been advertised for months by members of Johnson's cabinet as a strategy to avoid defeat on Brexit in the Commons. So by consenting to proroguing Parliament, Elizabeth Windsor has annulled the basis for appointing Johnson as PM, denying an opportunity for his ability to command a majority to be validated.

    That's why it's a constitutional crisis. Appointing Johnson as PM without the ability to command Parliament isn't 'anti-democratic,' it's autocratic. The instigation of despotism (monarchical rule). The situation is absurd and abusive on every level.

  • Profligate and arrogant, all the signs were there, it was shocking that Teresa May even included Johnson in her Cabinet but worse make him Foreign Minister which he carried out like an immune joke. It was as if she had to include this mad man in her inner circle as if she had a strategic plan to keep him behaved. Alas she had no such reason. Oh but Mogg too, chien fou, what an insane weak decision and then masquerade that she was interested in improving mental health services! Talk about sleep walking with psychopaths, where are the DBS or mental checks on politicians, where is the law for treason for a PM?

  • I can imagine Trump saying to the UK, 'nice trade surplus you've got there. It would be a shame if something happened to it.'

  • So you'll have Labour voters living with Tory voters and SNP voters? Don't you want to segregate them too?

  • Simple: In the EU,
    1. Scotland would not be required to host nuclear weapons in the blast raidus of its largest city.
    2. Scotland would not be required to go to war every time it's larger neighbour decided to appease the US.
    3. If it decided to leave the EU, Scotland wouldn't need to get the EU to give permission.
    4. In the EU, Scotland could cancel the bedroom tax, the rape clause, change the recruitment age for the army, invest in green energy, stop paying to refurbish the House of Commons and pay for HS2, open legal injecting rooms, police it's fishing grounds, change the tax basis for oil extraction to be more like Norway, not send its police to Northern Ireland, passport financial services to Europe, continue with Erasmus, and a thousand and one other things it cannot currently do because MPs representing constituencies outside Scotland have chosen not to.

  • If you could split the UK in half, one of the new countries would Remain and prosper, the other one, the New Puerto Rico, wouldn't be able to raise eough cash to pay its's own benefits or pensions. In old educational terms, Remain would have the A,B and half of the C stream. Leave would have the half C and the D&E streams.

  • Really did she say any of that bit in bold? Sounds like journalistic over reach to me but I'd like to know for sure.

    Obviously she didn't say that, but the fact that she made a point of mentioning the relevant conversation with Johnson when resigning is a pretty strong indicator that Crace's interpretation is correct.

    For comparison, Gina Miller's article makes this point.

    My legal team and I have been in communication with Johnson’s legal advisers since early July. They repeatedly and comprehensively reassured me that prorogation was not an option for him, and that the whole issue was of no more than “academic” interest.

    I was therefore stunned by the announcement on Tuesday, not least because their last reply to us was on Monday evening. Lies are being told, professional rules broken, and a ruthless prime minister is subjecting our unwritten constitution to stresses that would have been unimaginable a few years ago.

    It's not at all unreasonable to conclude that Davidson realised Johnson was lying to her face,
  • Bozo's recent visit to Scotland wasn't a resounding success, if I recall correctly. After meeting Nicola Sturgeon he preferred to leave through the backdoor, as otherwise he would have been confronted with people who didn't like him and didn't make a secret of their feelings. That would have been too a big a blow for his oversized, narcissistic ego. Backdoor Boris. Let's hope he will soon leave Westminster through the backdoor too, like a thief in the night.

  • Detoxified? I don't think so. She was given an easy ride by journalists (on account of being one), but was a crap constituency MSP and had 1 policy- no Indyref 2. As well as having links to dodgy money that's never been examined.........

  • Deep insightful illuminatory comment. Have you anything to say?

  • Sorry, radders. I'm just fucking tired. And fucking sick and tired.

    Bah, humbug!
