    A bit like the people's vote. Who voted last time? Toads?

    I just wish parliament would drop the pretense we live in a democracy. Cancel Brexit. Maybe Juncker could be caretaker PM until the UK is run from Brussels?
    A political party who got 48% of the popular vote at a GE would consider that amazing.

    It'd certainly be hilarious.

    Yes, I’m happy to cough up for legitimate expenses as approved by whoever approves their expenses. Sorry, but I’m not going to get outraged by an Express article that has no other purpose than to wind you up.

    FWIW, I also happen to believe that MPs are both underqualified and underpaid for what they do. The base salary of the PM that runs the entire country is less than what most decent contractors earn, ffs.

    Clearly, if his expenses can be published in a “paper” and there is no further action, then they are legitimate - blame the game, not the player. Just be thankful he’s not tossing one off behind his desk like a certain Tory was allegedly doing....

    You've got as good an idea of what will happen as anyone. Those who think they are in control of events are kidding themselves. Fook knows how this will eventually play out.

    Embrace the chaos!
