'Brexit means Brexit: The Unofficial Version'

Farage the anti-establishment guy at his favourite Mayfair restaurant!

Its almost like the BBC have saved all this up, not for the anniversary of the ref, but because they were pissed off with the bollocks.

Strategically, labour needs them to play this out to the bitter end. In the interests of bread and peace, I'm not sure that's the right move.

they were pissed off with the bollocks
Nice to see brief period of de bollocking

The WhatsApp Tory Right Group who like to make a lot of noises and would like this country to be like India with 2nd and 3rd class on trains accordingly.

Umm, a slight derail here. Indian Railways can be split into 8 classes if you count the sleepers.

Who in their right mind would want to take over from TM. It's a genuine question, a humungous poisoned chalice beckons for whomever has the hubris to take it on.

I have never seen the UK in such tatters. Brexit, DUP, Terrorism, fires, manifesto ditched, the Queen in her EU hat (lol, brilliant), lame duck government. It's all there folks.

Ah well. Theresa can always go for few drinks with the Clooneys down the pub in Sonning when she eventually escapes.

But I think they will do nothing. Why would they, they being the Tory Party, unless they have oodles of hubris aswell. Wouldn't surprise me.

Is BoJo playing games here. He surely cannot be taken seriously. There is something going on.

everthibkyouvebeenconned · 21/06/2017 21:33

Thanks BoJo the start of your deserved humiliation

Was he hungover is that why he's been hiding? Or has he finally realised what a momentous fuck up he has caused and understanding it's all over for him...and the rest of us and no playing court jester is going to work

Still hasnt he got a US passport still? Has been saying he was recinding it for 2 years but still not finalised

To be seen on the US chat show circuit soon. Arse

Good news: Wealthy City of London Corporation (council) has bought lovely new homes for many Grenfell residents Smile

Until now, some have been sleeping in parks and cars. Some have only received £20 cash to date, because they ran out of cash (5 million available, but not much cash)

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4625368/Grenfell-Tower-survivors-homes-2billion-block.html

Around 250 homeless and beleaguered survivors of the Grenfell Tower fire will be rehoused permanently inside the £2billion luxury Kensington development.
The 68 one, two and three bedroom properties have been bought for just £10million and will provide refuge for families who lost everything in the blaze that killed 79 people a week ago.

Was he hungover is that why he's been hiding?
When the camera showed him during QS, Johnson looked like he has not slept for weeks.

If there is any justice, 2016-2017 should end forever the Tories' mysterious reputation for competence.

Also their reputation for being careful and for national security:

Home Office figures show:

  • nearly 7,000 fewer firefighters in England 5 years ago, which has led to longer response times and a 25 % fall in the number of fire prevention visits.Angry

  • A reduction of 18,991 in police numbers, including 1,377 armed officers Angry
    So after terrorist attacks, we rely on officers working 18-hr days and cancelled leave.

Elena Good.

Maybe he's about to be millibanded by his 'clean' and Remain brother Jo. This is an interesting article about the Johnson brothers. No sounds much more palatable for the Tory moderates

Am watching the BBC2 Brexit doc on catch-up. Anna Soubry is coming across quite well, and Ken Clarke. Farage? Hmm, red mist descends every time he features - odious twerp.

everthibkyouvebeenconned · 21/06/2017 21:51

Great news for the Grenfell victims. I hope they can at least start the grieving processes once they have homes Flowers

Terrible it has taken a week. Bless them all

DividedKingdom · 21/06/2017 21:55

Has been saying he was recinding it for 2 years but still not finalised

Last time I checked he hadn't even applied to rescind. His hot air about that only came about as far as I can recall, when the IRS nailed him for non payment of taxes. No way in hell would he give up dual citizenship or the ability to confer dual citizenship on his offspring.

Like most cheerleaders for the Leave campaign, thinking about it.....

eg Farage whose kids get German ones, Kate Hoey has her golden ticket Irish passport, Gisela Stuart also German, Zac's grandparents are Irish aristos, and although Arron Banks may not wish to exercise his spousal visa option via Russian wife, I'm fairly sure we can sleep easy in the knowledge that he and the likes of he and JR-M can cough up the €2M needed to acquire full family EU citizenship via the Cyprus investor route as required.

Perhaps this explains their lack of concern for Brexit reducing UK citizen rights...

YouGov Poll: Public overwhelmingly want multiparty cooperation for Brexit

https://yougov.co.uk/opi/surveys/results#/survey/b830be60-55a0-11e7-bfce-be36d6dc7ab1

"Do you think other leading parties should or should not be included in Brexit negotiations?"

35% They should, on an equal basis as the Conservatives
33% They should, but only on a consultation basis
14% They should not be consulted at all

Not just Labour as Official Opposition - public also want LDems, SNP, Plaid, DUP, UKIP consulted
< I'd ignore UKIP, as not in HoC and v low % votes. Otherwise, agree a Brexit strategy with Labour, Ldems and the 3 Nationalist parties, to pass bills with consent of all 4 countries in the UK >

nauticant · 21/06/2017 22:27

These 250 places in the £2billion luxury Kensington development.

Were they bought specifically for the Grenfell Tower residents?

Were they bought using money that was going to be spent to house other social housing residents?

If the Grenfell Tower residents are permanently housed elsewhere, what happens to the Grenfell Tower site?
