Les as Chancellor of the Exchequer JJ as Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs LD as Minister for Women and Equalities

Nor did it hamper Boris Johnson. You'll be pleased to know that my MP, Keir Starmer, is fully supported by his constituents
-
Who's your MP?
-
My limited understanding is that extension of Article 50 requires unanimous agreement in the European Council which made up of 27 heads of state. The European Parliament is not involved in this process.
-
Afternoon Les. Looking forward to tonight's vote?
-
How would Farage and his MEP friends block an extension to Article 50?
-
The ERG might still reason that as long as there isn't a cross-party majority for a positive alternative i.e. a permanent customs union or a second referendum, no deal won't be completely dead. The EU might grant a short extension to the UK only for the UK to remain mired in gridlock at the end of that period. The difference is that the option for a further extension will then have been exhausted, giving the ERG a flicker of hope. The sooner the PM allows indicative votes so that a positive alternative can emerge, the better but in doing so May will completely surrender control of the process - hence her reluctance and obstructiveness.

David Davis voted for the WA
-
Watch it, you'll get Les worked up again
-
And by some estimates, 40 ministers have previously threatened to resign if they couldn't vote against no deal. Now's their chance. Christopher Hope, another DT lackey, is simply telling chumps like Jihadi John what they want to hear.

What's the difference between a shopping trolley and a Brexiter? A shopping trolley has a mind of its own.

****fest - not sure what you're on about Les. Its going to be a beautiful week watching you melt down
-
Yep. Les and his fellow jihadis are deciding what to have for a lunch: a s**t sandwich (May's WA) or a frothy pint of p*ss (extension to Article 50). Good.

As I noted last night, I don't think the latest package of measures relating to the Northern Ireland backstop change much. Proving the UK is being held deliberately, and in bad faith, in the backstop indefinitely is incredibly difficult. Good faith is basically a toothless obligation in common law systems, though it has a bit more bite on the continent. Its far far far more likely that the UK could be held in the backstop indefinitely in good faith as negotiations broke down or the two sides disagreed over the feasibility or desirability of different approaches (e.g. a technological solution to the border). The UK would have zero recourse in these circumstances. Either way. its pretty clear you and your swivel friends are on the ropes and you're getting flustered that you might be sold down the river I'd be quite happy if May's WA gets voted down because Parliament will then take no deal off the table and will vote to request an extension to Article 50. Pick your poison little fella
-
David Davis sounds like he’s preparing to stand down and back the WA. Oh Les, JJ, LD and the rest of the swivels....
-
And there’s always hope that Saints might qualify for the CL. Sounds like you’re trying to put on a brave face little fella
-
Worried your boys are going to sell you out Les?
-
Remember this is the same Japanese FTA that Japan has refused to grant to the UK because the terms are too generous. If the EU-Japan FTA is terrible, I wonder what this makes any prospective UK-Japan FTA...
-
Legally binding changes that turn on 'good faith' and 'best endeavours' terms. Anyone with an iota of legal knowledge knows that 'good faith' is one of the most slippery and difficult concepts to prove in law. It falls well short of Cox's push for a test of reasonableness that's for sure. Let's see if the chumps in the ERG swallow it.

And here’s another towering intellect

Jesus wept. You really are thicker than a butcher’s turd.

Les is crashing out again.

Obviously the irony and hypocrisy of hard brexiters/no-dealers playing the national security card is lost on some here #glasshouses
