Rees Mogg lying down.

oh I have a few massive ones for the back kitchen - where we help cook for 40 on reg basis, thanks. Would do the job nicely, ta.

The fact that folk will vote for BJ doesn’t make him “right” or “good”, folk vote for dictators all the time. JRM lolls and insults the doctor who was tasked to explain the consequences of no deal, by comparing him to Andrew Wakefield. Because he did it in the HOC he has parliamentary privilege, so the doctor has asked him to repeat it outside the HOC. Doctors in general furious. This has everything to do with the OP, it is the same disrespectful man.

Indeed- a nasty package of it all- very linked to the OP.

Doctors are amongst the most trusted people in our country; it is worth listening to what they have to say with respect.

He is protected by Parliamentary Privilege, the coward.

GG13- really- pull the other one

I think he was making a point about the tedium of the constant arguing over Brexit. Nobody is saying anything new, no-one is going to change their minds - this has been dragging on for more than 3 years now. Time our useless parlimentarians pulled their fingers out of their collective asses (with a few notable exceptions) and get on with delivering the result of the 2016 referendum. The constant whining about prorogation is pointless - they have had more than three years to sort this out and a few extra days will make zero difference. Hoping for a general election very soon - I'm sure some of the remain MPs representing constituencies with large leave majorities will find the chickens coming home to roost - perched and watching the drama unfold

He has made an apology. It was a terrible thing to say.

It would be appalling if wrong decisions about the country are made just because some people have short attention spans and no patience and, therefore, find the most important political decision of their lifetime "tedious". Maybe they switch over to Love Island or the latest on the royal family, if they want excitement in their lives.

MPs were talking to him, asking him questions, he decided to lie down in boredom and ignore them. Tom Brake MP who was speaking to him at the time asked if he wanted a pillow? It was clearly arrogance and I suspect some immaturity about what are acceptable boundaries. In other words bad manners.

Even more disgraceful than his lying down was his abuse of parliamentary privelege to attack Dr David Nicholls who wrote part of the Yellowhammer report warning that people could die because of lack of drugs if a no deal brexit is not averted.

Where is his integrity, honesty, truth, respect or decency? What gives him the right to display such behavior? He has complete contempt for us. Sadly I am not surprised.

It's the arrogance of an upper class twit! Us minions just don't count and quite frankly I think he is so far up his own bottom and out of touch with reality that he doesn't realize that this is the way he comes across. He has no clue about the realities of life for the ordinary person and thinks that he can behave exactly as he wants. It is a sad fact of life that MP's mostly live in a bubble , a lot of them have never worked at a proper job where they are aware of the issues faced by ordinary people. It doesn't stop them making legislation which might have a detrimental effect on poor people, neither do they feel any sense of responsibility for their actions in so doing, they can leave with a nice fat pension , carry on being on the boards of various companies and their lifestyles carry on as before. The lolling on his seat just about sums it up; had I done that my mother would have verbally and physically punished me. But then, I am working class!

And I DON'T consider him to be a gentleman either!

It is indeed Lois, another world. I was trying to think of politicians who seemed to have a handle on real life. I wondered about John Major who I believe came from fairly humble beginnings.

Just another lying Tory

Good heavens, is this thread still rolling on?

Since it is, I might as well put my four penneth (old fashioned Derbyshire word) in. I agree totally with Saetana, and with the main gist of Loislovesstewie.
If any of you think for one minute that MPs, all of them, care one jot about you or me, you’re in cloud cuckoo land. MPs care about themselves, that’s why they vote themselves larger than inflation pay rises, it’s why they flip their houses, it’s why their pensions are so generous, it’s why they fiddle their expenses. I could go on, it you get the point.
It’s why 58 MPs and Lords will never vote for Brexit if we were offered gold plated crowns for every citizen, because they are being paid by the EU (farmers apparently.) And it’s why Corbyn has suddenly changed course, he sniffs the scent of personal power.

maddyone I don't think you would say Jeremy Corbyn wants personal power if you looked up his voting record. He has always been on the right side of history. He is a decent trustworthy man and there is no blood on his hands. I have stood alongside him on your behalf protesting against injustice for over thirty years. He, as I do , just want a better fairer society for my children and grandchildren. Isn't that what you want?

Maybe I’m wrong, but I thought he wants to be Prime Minister. Why else would he make repeated requests for an election? And now it looks as if he could have one, when it looks as if he’d lose, he suddenly doesn’t want one!

‘A decent trustworthy man.......’

And friend of terrorists and an anti Semite.

You have ABSOLUTELY NOT stood side by side with him on my behalf!!

The Conservatives have been playing games. Why shouldn't Labour play too?

All parties want to be in government so they can carry out the programme they believe in, maddyone. I would agree with you if you said Johnson wants personal power - he has said so - but I do think you have Corbyn wrong. He wants power for the Labour Party. You may not agree with what that party wants but I think you are reading Corbyn wrongly.

Boris is not a leaver and never was, he was always an on-the-fence, let's write funny columns and not think about politics too much, kind of person, and he is now in the hands of the most fanatical of leavers in order to have the power he craved.

All his life Corbyn has gone with what he believed cutting off his career chances time after time. How has he changed course? He still wants an election but not falling into Johnson's 'backers' elephant trap. That is a swerve, not a change of course.
