    You didn't seem to care back in 2003, when he moved manufacturing.

    That involved a lot more jobs than the "2" which are now moving.

    You only care now because he has a Brexit view.

    All a bit hollow methinks.

    Yes, this discussion is about Brexit.

    I can't stand her, but without her Parliament wouldn't have had a say and we'd be leaving on May's deal which it seems nobody wants. I'd say Miller did everyone a huge favour.

    Quite possibly considering that she made it more likely that we will be leaving with no deal.
    What is this life if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare

    Arch Remainer Gina Miller has just said that Dyson makes about a billion pounds profit (she was talking about lost tax revenue).

    The woman is an idiot. Can we ship her off to Singapore instead?

    She hasn't a clue.

    Oh look, more abuse and denigration of a successful politicised woman of colour, by the Right. And in exactly the same way using the same slurs.

    I never mentioned colour...except you.

    Nobody mentioned right...not to mention with a capital letter...except you.

    Your prejudice is showing.

    I can honestly say I never even noticed her colour.
    Maybe others that do have to ask themselves why it's something they notice about someone rather than for example their actions.

    Explain this one to me please. :)

    Tis an odd comment given no one can agree on anything. Suspect divisions in the UK and elsewhere in Europe are going to rumble on for a very long time. Like the challenges facing Japan an ageing population falling is going to be problematic.

    Funny how Jacob Rees Mogg and co have spent so much time calling Remainers anti-democratic, but now suggest the PM should suppress free speech of Parliamentarians and ask the Queen to prorogue Parliament.

    I think that if that were to happen the monarchy would not see out the decade.

    But very revealing of way the forces of the far right think.

    Far right, my ....

    You think it's OK for a bunch of back benchers to try to mount a coup but not OK for someone to try to stop them.
    The fascists of the future will call themselves anti-fascists.

    A classic example of a politician not answering the question. This time an Irish one. (The video appears not to work with Chrome)

    Its just a matter of sovereignty. Getting all worked up and calling it a coup is just paranoia. You think it right that a small minority of MPs should drag the Queen into suppressing free speech in Parliament?
