Today's Commons debate

Well said.

Miliband was absolutely outstanding. He wiped the floor with Johnson.

Miliband comprehensively completely trashed Johnson’s proposed bill.

It was a real pleasure to hear Miliband after the bumbling nonsensical performance by Johnson. I did wonder if he had read his speech before. He sounded as if it was all new to him. This is not what I want my P.M. to sound like.
Where did he go ?

Long Covid plus just being found out for the lazy bag of hot air most of us always knew he was.

Milliband spoke brilliantly. standing in for Starmer.

Johnson is a joke as a Prime Minister. This is just the latest example.

Why is it suddenly OK to flout the law as long as it's in a very limited and specific way?

Why should anyone bother to obey the law when the Government by this bill shows that it's "OK" to flout it!?

Like all legal documents you sign, it is always a good idea to read it first in case you find that you don't want to be bound by it.

Milliband is a bit older than last time he stood at the dispatch box and he has clearly learnt a lot. He just peaked too soon.

Milligan’s read a script prepared by Starmer who is now self isolating due to the fact that one of his family have Covid. It was full of legalese and Milliband did well as an understudy.

Boris will ace this. He has the numbers.

And so what that Major, Blair and Brown are against the Bill? They are all lovers of the EU!

This Bill provides a much needed safety net. Without it the EU would not negotiate in good faith.

I’m hoping it carries.

If course it will go through Urm -as though there’s enough Tory MPs with honour to prevent it. ???.

UG no comments about BJ's towering presence, presenting a powerful, convincing speech and inspiring confidence?
Or, if you prefer, no comments, however specific and limited, about breaking international law?

urm, you're winding us up again, aren't you?

And as ever Urm your posts have factual errors in them - you are wrong about someone in KS ‘s family having COVID. Still what do Johnson supporters know about the truth?

And it was not Starmer’s script.

But apart from that, what did Urm get right?

Even if the government was doing the best job in the world, the Lefties on here, who are in the majority, would find something to complain about but they never wanted Britain to be a sovereign independent country, who is capable of making its own decisions. They are happy to be vassal slaves of the EU and pay them a sh*tload of money every year to squander as they please.

Good to see you elevate the discussion.

unfortunately, maybe that he has the numbers....

Eh? Towering presence? Were you watching the same debate? Johnson was appalling. He looked like a deflated balloon.

To quote John McEnroe, "You can't be serious."

You're turning into quite a wind-up merchant, Urmstongran.

growstuff and Alegrias - IMHO our Urm has been a wind-up merchant for quite a while!

QQ You have all those points exactly right, ?’the lefties on here’ ( on this particular thread) are indeed in the majority (because nobody else can be bothered with it).

According to the news a member of Starmer’s family is being tested for Covid, so he couldn’t attend.

Oh come on lemongrove. Quizqueen s post was frankly hilarious.

growstuff you are absolutely correct and to requote McEnroe - I COULDN'T POSSIBLY BE SERIOUS
Did you read the op?

Well done Ed. A sterling performance. Not that it will carry any weight with the 'yes' men and women of the Tory Party. I used to feel embarrassed for the Americans with Trump but now we have Boris.

QQ Did Ian Blackford sound as if he wants to be a vassal slave of this dishonest shambles that is the Westminster government?
