TORY MPs who vote to block a No Deal next week will be sacked from the party, we can reveal.

Which democratic vote were the Eurosceptic MP's trying to overturn?

What's that got to do with anything? Anyway, Major lost the ensuing GE.

That was the one where Major got 42.2% of the votes on a 77.7% turnout gaining a huge majority of MPs.

Iain Duncan Smith lashes out at BBC in campaign against Brexit bias - 'What happened?'

Boris Johnson recently announced the move to extend the suspension of Parliament ahead of the Queen's Speech on October 14. Numerous #StopTheCoup protests have broken out across the country against the Prime Minister’s action, with members of the public taking to the streets in London and Manchester. Iain Duncan Smith retweeted a video which criticised the BBC for “promoting protests to their huge audience”.

The video also claimed “83 percent” of MPs appearing on the BBC’s Today Programme since Mr Johnson announced the Queen’s speech were pro-Remain.

In the “#StandUp4Brexit” video, it is claimed: “Since Boris announced the Queen’s speech the BBC have been relentlessly biased.

“Since the announcement, a review of 18 Brexit guests on the BBC R4 Today Show indicates 83 percent in favour of Remain.

“They’ve promoted civil disobedience, promoting protests to their huge audience.

And then 5 years later, lost to the Labour Party, who won in a landslide, go figure....

We should never have joined the disgusting and corrupted, Anti-democratic EU.

John Major, should keep his hypocrisy stinking trap shut, he prorogued parliament in 1997 for political reasons, to avoid parliamentary scrutiny during the "cash for questions" scandal.

Now he's joined Miller, in a Judicial Review of a Royal Prerogative Power, a convention, while the Queen cannot be challenged by any UK Court, the advice can be and a Judicial Review will not alter and cannot alter a decision made by the Queen, she approved proroguing, is a subordinate system to her, that's a Judge or Justices of any Court system that administers justice on her Majesty's behalf, who swore an oath of allegiance to the reigning monarch, going to tell her, she has to reverse her decision to prorogue because she, according to them, received the wrong advice?

Gimme a break.

If anything, the UK Judiciary should stay out of political decisions or conventions that have been made by the executive.

Very much like Corbyn’s style of leadership.

Typically the Brexit Bias Corporation decree “thousands” protest.

Well.....maybe if you add all the protests together nationwide you may get a couple of thousand.

But even their photos just should a few hundred at best.

Believe me I am currently on the train home from spending four days in London with family.

Today we went to Trafalgar Sq, walked down the Mall to the Palace and then onto the Science Museum, wasn’t hindered in the slightest, saw a few kids with EU flags and that was it.

I was in London too today and also near the Mall! Maybe we passed each other.

But on Whitehall there were definitely quite a few people. At least several hundred, I did to double back to avoid them. Looking at the video: https://youtu.be/GCs_hwhtOgg?t=15 then that almost certainly reaches 1000s

Note what Pierre said: " ... kids with EU flags."

These would be kids who believe that without the EU, all workers' and human rights will be lost and EU grants (as i fresh money) will cease).

Could well have been kids, I was only passing so didn't pay attention to the demographics so much.

... the point being that the remain craving youth are somewhat ignorant as to the issues. It's a shame because our guvmin needs open minds to make all this work.

I think you're misrepresenting the ignorance of young people, they tend to be smarter than their elders (who aren't always that informed either) give them credit for.
