Thanks for the clarification- learn something new every day.

As predicted, the Commons threw out all the Lords’ amendments, and the hardline remainers in the so-called upper chamber finally - finally - accepted it’s time for the will of the people to be respected. They have passed the bill without further game playing and it now awaits Her Maj’s autograph.

A commanding majority puts paid to all the silly remainer games.

If Maybot hadn't made such a hash of the last election we'd have been here a lot earlier. :rolleyes: But then her heart was never in it.

I thought we were out-performing the EU but now you have to go and spoil it all for us with your pesky facts. ;)
