“I’d rather” is an expression of how one feels about certain things, not a commitment to do one or the other.

Besides, he’s trying very hard to implicate Parliament as the cause of the delay, rather than he himself.

it him that suspended the bill because he didn't want it scrutinized not the other way around

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
 

Had debate continued according to the usual timetable then a Brexit extension would still have been necessary to avoid No Deal. What’s your point, exactly? Because all you’ve just done is point out that it is parliament’s rejection of the short timetable that ensured the whole Benn Act process of requesting and accepting an extension would play out.

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
 

we now got a Brexit extension as he wrote letter to EU accepting it why he scared of scrutiny he could easily bring it back

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
 

Why he scared? He not scared. He committed to leaving the EU this Thursday. The timetable he proposed was the only way to achieve that. Parliament rejected the timetable and ensured an extension was necessary. Boris might still have gone for a No Deal, of course, but Parliament passed a law that required a request to be made, and gave parliament final approval of the date.

The Brexit extension is Parliament’s doing, against the expressed policy of the government; within that parliamentary maths it is Labour, Lib Dem and SNP doing. Expect that fact to be exploited ruthlessly in the coming election - I wouldn’t fancy being a Labour MP sitting on a wafer thin majority in a constituency that voted Leave.

I can't wait for the local idiots to come knocking at my door . . if they can be bothered to.

I just wish the house had an overhanging balcony from which to pour the tar & feathers :D

A plague on all their houses.

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
 

This Parliament has overstepped it’s remit. The legislators have taken on the role of the executive. In any other Parliament a vote of no confidence would have been taken on this government and a GE would have been undertaken months ago.

This Parliament is not fit for purpose.

You can’t have another democratic exercise on that question as the result of the first democratic exercise has not been undertaken.

The opposition parties demanded a GE because May had not won a GE and May duly agreed because she thought she’d walk it. Parliament, you know that great democratic institution voted for a GE.

Funny that Johnson, also not elected via a GE, and Parliament think that’s fine, and won’t test him in a GE? Go figure.

there’s no rules anymore. Bercow and the remainer Parliament have ripped up the conventions. We need a new speaker and a new Parliament.

Re: Brexit Development(s) Discussion
 

One good thing is thst despite all the threats, there have been no riots every time a Brexit extension date had been confirmed.
