The Queen and government

Is the Queen still working? or has she been furloughed? I know she is very old and must shield but with umpteen Princes, Princesses, Dukes and Countesses in the family, surely 1 of them could say a few words of condolence or encouragement to their 'subjects' at this difficult time for all of us.

Excellent speech from Ed Miliband

Lizzie will do what any government wants as long as the cash keeps rolling in ...and more year on year .The greed of the RF is astounding,they will go and put on a long sad face to see people in difficulty but they wont stop the gravy train stopping at their own door ,time the monarchy was gone its out of date and out of touch .If people want to watch a family who dress in expensive clothes and know important people theres always the Kardashians ...for now .

Here go the bully boys again

Active consideration is being given by No10 to removing the whip from Tory MPs who rebel on the Internal Markets Bill - including Geoffrey Cox, who says he will abstain at 2nd reading at 10pm tonight. A Senior Govt source: ‘All options are on the table’.

I’ve written to the PM resigning as PM’s Special Envoy on FoRB. I can’t support Internal Market Bill in its current form, which unilaterally break UK’s legal commitments. As an MP for 10yrs & former Barrister, values of respecting rule of law & honouring one’s word are dear to me

See what you did there....

It seems to me that the Tories are making a good argument which says that the monarchy has had its day.

...I’m in no doubt it will be reigned in by Cum.....

This coming debate will show if Tory MPs have any moral compass. There is a backbench rebellion, but I doubt it will be reigned in by Cummings.

Poor Queenie will do as she is told. I doubt Charles would be as compliant.

: Boris Johnson's former Attorney General Geoffrey Cox tonight reveals he will vote against the Internal Markets Bill in protest at the Government's plan to break international law - an act he calls "unconscionable".
