    Zero chance the DUP or ERG could ever vote for the backstop regardless of the leader.

    Rees-Mogg did.

    On the 3rd vote and still nowhere near enough for the election to have made a difference.

    If the number of 'remain' MPs really was significant brexit would've been off the table ages ago.

    I'm afraid the Tories put the Europe goggles on and squirted their majority up the wall. If they'd avoided the 2017 GE brexit would've been 'done' by now.
    Oh have we had Brexit and left? No? You see, Brexit has been "off the table" since the referendum showed that leave "won".

    You seem to forget that many tory MP's were/are pro-remain, hence the number dismissed by BoJo. Having the majority makes no difference when so many within that majority were anti-Brexit.

    A hollow victory as it was based on russian money and lies.

    Brexit is very much on the table as far as I can tell. Wall to wall brexit.

    It's more than three years since the referendum and it's so yesterday to keep blaming remainer MPs. You're not seeing the wood for the trees - the 2017 GE destroyed the government majority and then Johnson made it worse just by being Boris.

    It's like reading the front page of the Telegraph site. Six or so editorials with four of them with stuff like remainer plots in the title. I've never read any of them but it seems like clickbait for the frothers.

    So much for taking back control.
    Is Britain capable of any sort of Control?
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    It seems the confidence the British people placed in our MP’s to run our affairs is not shared by the MP’s themselves. We need a GE to clear out those MP’s not able to run a Sovereign nation.

    Britain yes; MP's (or at least the current crop) no. Wait for the GE which looks likely soon and you'll see if the electorate takes back control by the number of existing MP's that get the boot.

    Will you be allowed to vote from your home in Benelux?

    We will see, if it goes the way you want then you'll deserve what happens.

    Controlling behavior is not healthy.

    Coming from a remainer, one who has fully supported the thwarting of a democratically-made decision to leave the EU for over three years now, that's funny. Well actually not funny but the mods here don't like the real word that applies so hint = pot/kettle.

    I'm chuckling at the evident fear in your posts, now that your hated BoJo has got the deal remainers said he never would and got the approval remainers said he wouldn't get and you can see Brexit another step closer.

    But it's big of you to accept that we deserve to see Brexit finally come to fruition. At last. :D
