    The Tory leadership contender Dominic Raab has said the possibility of sidelining parliament to force through Brexit should not be ruled out, as to do so would weaken the UK’s negotiating position in Brussels. “I think it’s wrong to rule out any tool to make sure that we leave by the end of...

    In many ways, I really don't care if he took cocaine twenty years ago. What I do care about is that he supported the incredibly nasty "industry" that grows, processes, ships, distributes and finally supplies those who take cocaine.

    So, if you live in a house with 13 others, you are denied the vote? So, if you are Pakistani (or Pakistani background), you are denied the vote? It would be interesting to know what proportion of Pakistanis living 14 to a house would dream of voting brexit party. In the absence of a...
