    VD is making some kind of point.

    Is it meant to be only Beeboids who get to block folk?

    …on the “Johnson” issue, one asumes the Speaker should jump in to put Corbyn right. Berco did this during an earlier debate when an MPs name was used by a Tory Minister rather than his constituency reference. Sorry, forgot, it was Berco, so only Tory misdameaners are identified!

    Still waiting on Cummings and Plan B. We need it! Or is there a bit of a long game being played?

    Since Royal Assent is required for any law, can we assume that the Queen approves of the behaviour or, dare she not intervene, or , as has been alluded to by her according to Burrell: The Queen warned former butler Paul Burrell of “powers at work in this country” shortly after the death Diana, Princess of Wales, her inquest was told.

    The Queen can indeed veto a law after it has passed the Houses of Parliament, but it would be ill-advised. … It illustrates the immense “soft power” of the Queen. She does not have to refuse assent. It is enough to indicate that she might do so and in almost all circumstances a government will yield.

      Exactly ! sod the bridge between Scotland and N Ireland, the way things are going they may just as well build a bloody bridge between Dover and Calais, and let everyone from the whole of Europe in, so no one has to suffer the indignity of rowing across the channel; as we are reliably informed from Maxi that despite France being a safe haven, if no-one wants to live there they can just decide to claim asylum wherever they want.

        I have to admit that for every migrant who doesn’t want to stay in France, and leaves (even northwards), I am most grateful…

    The beeb at its creepiest in Extreme Russia. Reggie Yates trying hard to appear all concerned at the exploitation of young Russian women in their teens showing a lot of flesh to get jobs as models, while desperately trying not to oggle them. Of course the beeb is itself exploiting them by showing lots of female flesh; tut-tutting while titillating as they titivate themselves. Ok, enough tits – Ed.

    Met chief Cressida Dick-less: “We will keep publishing pictures of the knives we’ve seized.”

    But not, presumably, of those they were seized from. Much too embarrassing and off-message. We wouldn’t want the public to know the truth, would we.
