I think it just doesn't look like fair play to the average voter and so it just doesn't wash well.. Its for this reason I oppose a brexit party/tory pact..

This video has apparently been "demonetised" by YouTube, which means they don't approve of it. It's a couple of British comedians interviewing Andy Ngo about Antifa.

Indeed – a Catch 22 I think
My sympathies for your courageous sister. She's got the right stuff, that's for sure
Beaconsfield - 49% leave
Ruslip Northwood - 47% leave
Uxbridge is estimated at 58% leave so much more Brexitty, although a smaller majority
There hasn't been too much of a shift lately, perhaps hard brexit is factored in? Or maybe markets still don't believe it/are convinced it will be stopped.
Heard a stat that no England captain had lost 2 Ashes series and kept the job for over 100 years. Need to stop giving the job to our best batsman.
Not only being captain, but also playing more cricket than just about anyone else over the last twelve months, has left him looking more than a bit jaded.
Which, for someone who normally looks about eighteen, is a strange look.
Yes, I know, I know. TBH Can't think of a really captain-ish captain at the moment.
My only other option seems to be boring myself senseless with the Monaco GP highlights on Sky Sports F1.
But even Aussie wickets aren't worth that ordeal in mundanity.
The answer to your question is no. Opinium find that with a 4 way choice including Farage, 23% of 2017 Labour Leave voters would prefer Corbyn and 24% Johnson as best PM. When it's reduced to a 2 way choice, the figure is 36% for Johnson and 24% for Corbyn. So overwhelmingly, those who prefer Farage will as a second choice go for Johnson rather than Corbyn.
I really don't think there is any danger of Boris losing at all. I recall the same arguments being made about Michael Howard supposedly being at risk in 2005 and he won by a country mile.
He’s something of a fantasist: I really do doubt he’s living the life he claims to - it’s probably a lot more humble. I hesitate to use other terms.
Adopting his new “Byronic” persona is one thing, but combined with asking the site owners to expunge his previous contributions shows that despite regularly abusing people on this site, he’s probably the most needy contributor. He feels a compulsion to post here.
Is he entertaining? Yes.
These personal engagements provide a very good contrast with Corbyn ranting away at rallies decked with union banners and red flags.
All he has to do is realise he has upset someone and before he gets stuck into the rioja again apologise.
Equating people who want to Remain in the EU with Nazis is, frankly, a disgraceful statement for him to make.
You still favour the SC over ruling it however a few things jumped out which I missed earlier .
The court took particular issue with when the order to prorogue was called . That being whilst the house wasn’t sitting during the summer recess so stopped MPs from passing legislation to restrict it.
The court reasoned that even though a normal recess was due for the conferences MPs vote on that and may have chosen to not have them or shorten the length .
Bizarrely not a single avernment was made , that being a statement of the clear reasons behind the suspension.
It seems as if the government was overly confident that the court would simply rule the matter was not justiciable and simply fought the appeal on that .
This of course blew up in their faces .
Given that BoZo's electoral strategy as far as it can be discerned is predicated on winning Northern seats from Labour, these interactions might inform those wishing to bet on the likely outcomes.
In the old days, when tim the election reverse indicator was spamming the site, quoting polling non stop to see off anyone's personal opinion was seen as a good thing
What was it? "PB Anecdote vs Polling"? How we laughed
That description could be better applied to the chap she was debating with.
As noted earlier, the Government could potentially influence the outcome of the SC hearing by providing sworn statements now.
No such statement has apparently been provided, from much will be inferred.
Those were simpler times.

The problem is who will sign something if they worry there’s loads of contradictory info out there .
The Joe Biden ones are a hard watch if you are a supporter of his.
I think the Democrats will lose in 2020 if they nominate him.
