Opposition parties will still oppose a General Election. The fundamental issue remains.

But they are back doing it, what Bojo did was unlawful, that has now been corrected

I was talking about the rule of law not politics. That is the fundamental issue.

But that is just them being their usual thorn in the side of UK Parliament business.

But they are back doing it

Don't what they actually have been doing for at least the past 2 years, except vote down pretty much any option offered.

And they will continue to do so until the Prime Minister is forced to extend brexit if no deal is reached on 17th of October.

This way we can have an election and prevent a no deal, if parliament votes for an election now then Boris is released from carrying out his duties under law (the Benn act) and we leave with a hard brexit.

Either way the PM's hands are tied through Parliament.

Downing Street is too complacent about the danger of a second independence referendum a senior Whitehall official has said, with a lack of “panic” at the most senior levels about the strengthening trend in polling on Scottish independence. The last three polls on Scottish independence voting intention have put support for leaving the UK at between 49 per cent and 52 per cent, when the don’t knows are removed.


An online poll at the start of August conducted by Lord Ashcroft also put independence in the lead for the first time in two and a half years, while polling expert Professor Sir John Curtice has said that “it can no longer be presumed that Scotland would vote ‘no’ again in an independence ballot”. It also saw almost half polled – 47 per cent – say they wanted a second independence referendum to be held within the next two years.

Lets just get on with dismantling the failing and diminished UK so Scotland, and no doubt Northern Ireland as well, can secure a better future in the EU.

If the UK was failing, its Treasury wouldn't be bunging you chaps circa £10bn every year to cover your public spending. With England the only constituent nation of the UK in fiscal surplus, sometimes I think it would be nice to see how the Celtic nations would fare without the English cash cow.

Scotland has oil though. Isn't that the premise on which Salmond was offering financial freedom.

US raising import tax on Whisky and Knitwear isn't going to be helpfull though.
