The Pro Rogues plan to prorogue again this week.

The Queen might be challenged to sack Johnson. Or he might be forced to extend.

It depends on which newspaper you read. Either way it strikes you that no one really knows what's going to happen...

That Leave.eu tweet is disgusting. Is there not a law against incitement to hatred?
It's not insulting Merkel as a politician, it's insulting her on the basis of her being German.

Elsewhere, let's hope the Scottish government can seize Trumps Scottish properties. Or is he going to claim diplomatic immunity (too) ?

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/oct/08/trump-organization-rejects-legal-bill-after-losing-windfarm-court-battle

Donald Trump’s family firm is refusing to accept a legal bill worth tens of thousands of pounds after he lost a lengthy court battle against a windfarm near his Aberdeenshire golf course, according to the Scottish government.

Twitter have a report mechanism ...

James Crisp @jamescrisp6
I smell bullshit emanating from a Number 10 briefing here.

Merkel always pushed for maximum latitude to avoid no deal (in favour of long extensions etc) while sticking to EU red lines.

Anf haven't they forgotten the #germancarindustry

I don't know why that seems to be a surprise to some Hmm

No Deal - and blaming the EU for it, with a side order of judges, Remainer MPs, Remainer demonstrations etc - has been the Brexiters strategy all along

It became govt policy when one of their own became PM

  • due to non-ERG MPs shamelessly putting their own seats and party ahead of the country

Songs so sorry you are going through a shit time. SadCake

tobee · 08/10/2019 14:58

Nicky Morgan complaining isn't going to have much of an impact, is it?

BigChocFrenzy · 08/10/2019 14:58

Report that Heidi Allen said today that 20 Conservative MPs are ready to leave the Party

thecatfromjapan · 08/10/2019 14:58

Songsofexperience, that is so awful.
I don't have any advice about your husband, though I really hope you have friends and/or family to help you. You probably do need people who can listen, support and give practical help at this stage.

I'm so sorry.

Regarding your daughter, one of my children went through a 'bad patch' (understatement). It may be no help to you, or it may be some, so in the hope it might be helpful, I'll pass on what worked for us.

We found school and CAHMS just couldn't help. Waiting lists were too long and support was just hopeless when it did appear.

We found a local charity that worked with teenagers and mental health, and another charity that dealt specifically with our child's issues. Via those two, we - eventually - found some very good support.

Sadly, trying to get help via school and CAHMS was a bit hopeless and, looking back, was a waste of time and energy at a point when I felt unable to cope with any extra stress anyway.

But we did find help. And it did work.

It was all small steps - but we reached a better place.

And please do try and find something for you. You are a precious person, who doesn't deserve what your husband is doing. And, because I know you'll be doing everything you can to help your daughter, please remember to find some support for yourself. It makes so much difference.

Good luck. Xxx

21 MPs leaving; pah! Didn't stop Johnson! 20 more? What does he care? Plus we've heard these whispers before Heidi!

Could be just Johnson, Cummings, Carrie and Dillyn left, and they'd carry on. Backs to the wall!

Fuckers!

tobee · 08/10/2019 15:03

Going out to top up car with fuel this pm.

TheOliphantintheRoom · 08/10/2019 15:07

It's all just theatre, isn't it? The EU always does this, doesn't it? Lots of drama and then they'll cave in at the last minute. Won't they????? 😬

AuldAlliance · 08/10/2019 15:11

This is really scary stuff.
The playground bully pulling the strings at no10 is playing with fire.
As for Farage and his foul tweets, he deserves to be sued. And Leave.EU???
I tried to report the tweet, but don't want to click on Leave.EU's twitter account - does it matter if I report a tweet from Foster's page, rather than the original source?

DGRossetti · 08/10/2019 15:12

Could this be one of the twenty ?

(Which is a shit remake of "300" ...)

Alternatively, what's your local polices cyber bullying squad doing these days ? There's only so many transcritics they can harass in a day.

DGRossetti · 08/10/2019 15:14

I guess it wouldn't do any harm to bring it to your MPs attention either ?

NoWordForFluffy · 08/10/2019 15:22

I've reported that Tweet. Disgusting.

Outsomnia · 08/10/2019 15:28

Re the disgusting Merkel tweet, I wonder how long it will be until the Irish PM Leo Varadker will be pictured as a Leprechaun eating potatoes.

It is really awful stuff. It starts and then builds when it becomes OK to do things like this.

I don't think anyone felt that Brexit would lead to such disgraceful stuff. It is becoming very sinister now IMV.

AuldAlliance · 08/10/2019 15:28

I'm not in the UK.
The MP in what used to be my constituency won't answer messages not from constituents.

IsletsOfLangerhans · 08/10/2019 15:28

Long time lurker, delurking to say I’m horrified and terrified at today’s apparent sprint finish towards the bottom. Culminating in me swearing at my lovely dad, when he popped in for a cuppa and asked if I’d heard about the Lisbon Treaty and how we have to adopt the euro in 2022.... :(

DGRossetti · 08/10/2019 15:30

Hopefully not too OT, but a little cheer to some ? Mix of feminist icons, and geek tech ....

  1. Italian Embassy posted : On 8 October 2019 the Italian National Research Council hosts the Ada Lovelace Day (ALD) in Rome.

  2. Radio 3 (I'll repeat, Radio Three) is airing a look at the life & times of Elizabeth Rossetti (nee Siddall ) - "the first supermodel" and artist in her own right (thanks to the guidance of Ruskin). 18:45-19:30 on 13/10/2019. This year is the 150th anniversary of her exhumation, for the more macabre among us.

As you were !

Notthebloodymustardcushion · 08/10/2019 15:33

I’m a leaver, I rarely post on these threads for obvious reasons. However I would just like to add my support for utterly condemning that awful Leave.eu poster. Not in my fucking name.

Disgusting behaviour.

LarkDescending · 08/10/2019 15:35

Counsel for the govt in the nobile officium case Andrew Webster QC has submitted that the Benn Act does not mandate the govt to bring back a deal by 19 October - says not inconsistent with its provisions that the UK and the EU could agree there would be no deal.

Consistent with current insulting/offensive behaviour of BoZo and pals, no doubt designed to provoke the EU into throwing in the towel.

BigChocFrenzy · 08/10/2019 15:36

Good to hear, cushion
I'm sure many other Leavers would feel the same, if they see that disgraceful poster
Only a minority will like it

Leave.Eu will be photo-shopping in a moustache next
