Be somewhat ironic as, I think I recall, BJ renounced his US citizenship for tax reasons.

I am particularly pleased that it was 11-nil. A more even balance might have been claimed to give some support. A whitewash is what I hoped for.

Bercow says: It is not a recall of parliament, he says, because parliament was not properly prorogued.

No - that bluster following refusal to answer was obviously seen, by him, to be to his advantage.

Wondering what will happen at 10:30 this morning? Looks like he is getting in his bluster before the verdict. Boris Johnson refuses to rule out suspending parliament again PM says adverse supreme court ruling would not stop him proroguing parliament again Boris Johnson has refused to rule...

Let us imagine there is a GE sometime soon and Labour win, JC is PM. They hold a referendum and it comes out significantly in favour of remain. We then end up with someone who very much appears to be a leaver as a PM of a government which would by then be having to implement a remain policy...

I agree - I end up with Lib Dems and Plaid Cymru seemingly way behind tory and Labour, even if they operate a pact. Much as I wish otherwise, I suspect that neither stand a chance. But I would very much wish Stephen Crabb to lose his seat because he supports brexit (and is a tory). If I knew...

Immigrants! English people living in Wales tilted it towards Brexit, research finds Areas of Wales with big English communities saw larger leave vote in 2016, according to study The question of why Wales voted to leave the European Union can in large part be answered by the number of English...

By their deeds, shall ye know them: Boris Johnson urged to justify 'awarding public funds to close friend' PM allegedly gave money and access to trade missions to US entrepreneur Jennifer Arcuri while mayor...

My previous surgery had two ways of getting an appointment - either something like two or more weeks ahead, a limited number of appointments available, or on the day, ring at 08:00 (or whatever time it was). Of course, if you know far enough ahead, that might work, but even then the limit on...

Missed this the other day: Coppola takes revenge for Boris Johnson’s Godfather tribute Director of PM’s favourite film scene denounces ‘foolish’ rush towards no-deal Brexit Westminster trembled in July when Boris Johnson told the Daily Mail his favourite movie scene was “the multiple...

If brexit is a divorce, does that mean Catholics cannot support it?

When Lady Hale said something like "as soon as humanly possible", do you think that included working over the weekend? That is, could the result of the case be sooner than might otherwise have been expected?

Have a few free extra words to add to that: tongue with speaking forked

None of us yet know the final bill (inasmuch as it could ever be calculated). Lives as well as money.

Instead of shared costs for many things, we will have to fund our own. One example, medicines. European Medicines Agency is able to authorise medicines for the EU. Now we will have to authorise each medicine ourselves with whatever costs are involved. Just take the ludicrous idea that small...

One way or another, anything that permits, even encourages, significantly different regimes in physical proximity will tend to increase smuggling. Even now, there are differences betweenc EU countries which result in trades which are questioned by some. One example, B12 ampoules for injection...

I doubt I am alone in feeling that a no-deal brexit could be considered a hostile act against the UK. There simply is NO majority for no-deal. (Has anyone identified even a single consitituency which appears to have a majority in favour of no-deal?) If the downside were properly understood, I...
