They need to get behind Clarke, or tie Harman to a chair, gag her and then let her be caretaker for a few days. JC is too device.
under the FTPA, a VNOC must be initiated by the LOTO.

Just spotted this reply in the independent:

I perfectly understand many might feel some reserve to see Corbyn in no.10 but I´d like to remind the following: in the 2002 French election, the second round opposed Chirac, seeking re-election, and JM LePen, leader of the National Front. The only way to avoid seeing LePen at the Elysées was for Mitterand and his Socialist Party vote unanimously for Chirac: reality prevailed!

Apparently, Johnson may declare a State of Emergency giving, immediate fear of rioting if Brexit is not delivered, as the reason. This would allow him to legally ignore the anti-no deal legislation which was passed a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t see that coming.

So, have I got this correct ? The government is now taking its instructions via mob-rule and angry threats?
I didn't know what, but have long suspected he had a dirty trick in hand to get his own way.

This device looks very likely.

Is there a geographically contiguous area of the UK, even just of England, that could be regarded as pro-brexit? Stoke-on-Trent?
Yes, the 400 square miles of Greater London. We are predominantly a Remain area.

The timing is a bit suspect.

If he did behave improperly, which is more than likely, it should have been dealt with then, not “banked” for future use.
Earlier this week, Mr Johnson denied any wrongdoing, telling the BBC: "All I can say is I am very proud of what we did as mayor of London... particularly banging the drum for our city and country around the world."
I'm sure a lot of 'banging' was done - but referring to her as a 'drum' seems a tad vulgar and ungentlemanly....



Ms Arcuri told The Sunday Times that ‘any grants received by my companies and any trade mission I joined were purely in respect of my role as a legitimate businesswoman’.

I totally agree with and understand what you are saying. However, it seems like Prince Ginger is latching onto all the trendy, in vogue causes at the moment. “I’m going to throttle back on Royal Baby output, I can’t get out of bed due to whittling about the world, I’m going to put a giant condom on my head and pose by strolling in a previously cleared mine field”. Prior to all this, he held the post of, Tony Blair’s Prince in a Helicopter Gun Ship. This saw him dutifully machine gunning democracy into a bunch of rag-heads.

The backdrop to this depicts him and his wife private-jetting around the world, which he frets about so much, to attend mind-rotting events like a baby shower.

Both need to fade into the background and stop all of the “look at me” shenanigans. What’s going to be his next stunt, adopt that silly Grettle girl who had her childhood stolen in New York last week?
Don't worry Princess Beatrice will be next in the royal wedding / sprogging relay race distraction stakes - her engagement was a timely headliner for the DM last week pushing BJ's bad news down the page.

On that note:

Doesn't that answer the opposite question?
Yes, I made a mistake, misreading the question.

Proper answer, maybe The Potteries, the West Midlands or the North East, predominantly Leavers, but I'm sure there are others.

In England overall it's probably largely a North-South issue.

What chance this actually happening? At least in the way the headline appears to say. (Sorry about DM link - I am sure there will be others.)

Of course, it is amazing the government seems able to do anything at all given its current attitude, approach and lack of majority. Can't see this as anything other than an election claim.

Developers could be banned from putting gas boilers in new homes in one of several new green initiatives to be announced by Government

Farage is also under police investigation, though I don't expect anything to come of it.
the issue is people take cue from politicians like Bojo and Farage. Apparently, the extreme language of Bojo got him more popular than ever before.
Do they incite to violence?
I guess we live in a very safe and conformist society for so long that there must be a pent up yearning for doing something outrageous now and then (like derestricting our bikes for a bit of fun). It only takes a spark...

He has already said he meant cutting their jobs. Not physical attack. But if the confusion is such that several people reported it, it at the least shows lax and poor choice of words. Or it could have been intentionally ambiguous.

I still do not expect anything to result from it.
