Brexit vote cancelled?

Helen, he has every right to speak and with John Major and other “oldies” I sincerely hope they are working behind the scenes to avoid what, at the present, looks like a disaster.

I hope you’re right Jane but personally I just don’t think he was the right face to represent a people’s vote…so many will remember the time we tried to stop the war…

Corbyn has been a naughty boy?

Who gives a shit!
Half an hour of ‘points of order’ taken up when a division of the House on her deal would have been much more productive…
(and yes, she is a stupid woman, her pantomime theatrics in PMQs - obviously written down on her crib sheet as she kept having to look at at it whilst delivering her ‘killer’ blow backfired spectacularly)

Don’t mention the war…

The PMQ’s antics today merely highlight the absolute mess the UK’s in, it would be funny if it wasn’t so serious.

Rushed off my feet @ work - highlights?

JC called TM a ‘stupid woman’.

Oh no he didn’t!

Somebody ought to tell her that. Here she is preventing parliament from debating and voting on one of the biggest decisions in recent history but she thinks it’s right to waste parliamentary time insulting others from a script. What a farce.

I managed to catch some of PMQs…sort of hoping that on the last session before Xmas that there might be a shred of hope offered to ease the misery of millions…I was dismayed to see TM’s vitriolic and insulting responses to Jeremy Corbyn…

Catching up with the headlines this evening I’m just as dismayed that the breaking news headlines are all about what Jeremy Corbyn did or didn’t say…I watched the clip…I thought he was saying “stupid people” under his breath and would agree with him…

I love the artist taxi driver…watch his little clips every morning…I’m wondering what he’s gonna say tomorrow morning…

The Right Honourable Member said he didn’t say it.
That should be respected - end of!
The plain fact is the Tories are desperate to divert attention away from TM’s awful performance.
Why else would the Deputy Chairman of the party (who I detest with a vengeance as my MP) fall over himself to appear in front of the cameras in central lobby to protest?
He said he was directly opposite JC and saw what he said but he was quite a few rows back. TM was directly opposite on the same level and appeared not to have heard or seen it as she questioned her near neighbour about it (who also didn’t see it).
And then in a final attempt to discredit JC, another Conservative MP took a picture of JC in the tearoom watching events on the in-house TV.
These people are responsible for running the Country ffs!
And all this after they wished each other a merry christmas!
Couldn’t organise a piss up on a brewery, the lot of them.

It’s smoke and mirrors, anything instead of the important business. The business that should have come to a vote well before Christmas. A very crude form of filibustering.

Indeed.

Corbyn claims he actually said “Stupid people” and I am inclined to agree it fits better with his mouth shape.

The observation, accurate or not, does not stop him being a chocolate teapot - I think TM’s criticisms were actually spot on in this case.

There is plenty of proof for the insults that she was bandying about, they were scripted.

She hasn’t got the imagination to do it off the cuff.

We were asked about this in our pharmacy in St Bonnet de Joux in Southern Burgundy this afternoon.
They obviously knew all about it and found it hilarious.
What a reputation our politicians have!

At yesterday’s meeting… I had my French colleagues confused, when I stated (with a very straight face)
"I am very glad the GJaunes etc are doing what they are doing… " :zipper_mouth_face:

(then came the punch-line… )

“as it gives folk something other than Brexit to choke over…”

and that had them collapsed in their seats… :grin::rofl::stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

I think he is probably looking over his own shoulder, don’t you?
