    A small reminder of some of the quotes from current Cabinet ministers regarding No Deal and proroguing parliament:

    - Gove: ‘I will defend democracy. You can't take Britain out of EU against will of Parliament.'


    - Hancock: ‘“no-deal will not happen whether people want it or not… Proroguing Parliament undermines parliamentary democracy and risks a general election. I rule it out and call on all candidates to do the same”


    - Matt Hancock again: “A policy on Brexit to prorogue Parliament would mean the end of the Conservative Party as a serious party of government.”


    - Amber Rudd: “I think it’s outrageous to consider proroguing Parliament. We are not Stuart kings.”

    - Nicky Morgan: “Proroguing Parliament is clearly a mad suggestion. You cannot say you are going to take back control … and then go: ‘Oh, by the way, we are just going to shut Parliament down for a couple of months, so we are just going to drift out on a no deal’.”
    Spinelessness on a scale I have never witnessed.


    They should be ashamed to say they represent their country. They represent themselves first and their party next and should be barred from holding high office ever again.


    An absolute disgrace.
    The careerists are falling in behind the autocrat.

    One can't make allowance for the cretinous nature of the populace, but one can profit from said cretinism.
