Honesty is rarely rewarded in the political world.

'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith. And, I'm a locksmith.' (Leslie Nielsen)

How this is all ending today has a certain delicious irony to it. Starmer was instrumental in changing Labour policy from respecting the referendum result to not only calling for a second referendum but also then cheering on a second Remain option. A policy that was beyond any rational comprehension. And at that moment, handing Johnson the next election on a plate. Perhaps the biggest ever example of political self-immolation in modern history. That speech he gave at the Labour party conference in 2018 will be studied by generations of political students for decades to come. With his punishment being made leader of the Labour party and then suspending the man who led the party to almost winning in 2017.

With Labours second referendum a policy that was utter insanity given the electoral reality of the UK. Gifting Johnson an 80 seat majority. Might as well have put it in a shiny box and tied a lovely ribbon around it.

And now, a little over a year later, leading the Labour Party and whipping his MP's to vote for Johnsons deal.

Delightful. The kind of s*** you could not write as fiction.

Well done Sir Starmer. I am now convinced he was the Leave campaigns secret weapon. Our greatest double agent. A true Knight of the Realm!

Brexit is concluded today. And all thanks to one man. Ladies, Gentlemen and Naval Officers. I give you the leader of the Labour Party. My Brexit champion. A true national hero!

Indeed, we all are, and Bob monkhouse and Dave Allen to.

LOL. If Starmer carries on at this rate, maybe?

But probably not. He will, however, always have a fond place in my Brexit promoting heart. Now I am no cheer-leader for Johnson and probably share many of your own dislikes for him but back in December 2019 when that exit poll was released and I realised that Brexit was finally going to happen, I cannot describe the sense of relief I felt. A wonderful moment.

And that is in huge part down to Starmer. Without his intervention, it might not have happened. That always needs celebrating.

Yeah, you might champion Jeremy as well for bringing us brexit, he was never a fan of the EU and helped its demise in gb, they can all vote against but its a done deal, pop the corks man!

All done and dusted. Now let's smash the BBC!

If you were found not guilty by a majority of the jury, Starmer would request another vote.

Red and Blue Army!

They think it's all over? ... probably no such luck.

OK Boris, how about a referendum now for the English on independence for England ... that might put the $hit up Mrs Krankie?

Denial is not just a river in Egypt

It never was. It's always had more women and children than men, along with a number who were born elsewhere, including some who are on their way to becoming Englishmen.

I suspect what you really mean is that it isn't full of Englishmen like you. On that we can agree.
