Jacob Rees Mogg just speaking, and already feeling nauseous, may not be able to do my duty for the biglies.

Why is Paul Flynn doing all the talking? Is he in charge or has he had the 1st slot or something ?

" Our missiles headed toward US in a recent test. We could be plunged into a nuclear war." Paul Flynn "The queen is put in a very difficult position, for that reason alone we should cancel the visit."

Nuclear apocalypse or Brenda being annoyed. Which is worse?
Only in England. Grin

Now he's quoting Orwell.

It would make me smile bigly if Trump is brought down by Sweden. Unlikely I know but for some reason, this really appeals to me.

Been reading a lot of Wallander recently Grin

Any chance of rogue UK missiles flying towards the US as Airforce 1 approaches the UK?

Mind you, this corner of the world is not safe, with all those Russian jet fighters circling western Europe.

Well known feminist and anti racist campaigner Nigel Evans speaking ineloquently in defence of Melania.

There is a point here on NATO but I honestly think Trump is too erratic and capricious for a state visit to actually secure anything.

catgirl1976 · 20/02/2017 17:06

(and also too in Putin's pocket to want to protect NATO even if the Queen does cartwheels for him)

Commons debate live on CSPAN for those in the US interested.
