100% mortgages have returned.

Excellent. So all they need now is 50k job to get the mortgage.

Everyone should worry about no deal, the civil servant who was, until March, head of the Brexit department has said.

Philip Rycroft, who resigned after 18 months, told the BBC's Panorama no deal was "fraught with risk".

And NI police said no deal could help recruitment for paramilitary groups.

Refugee hater Yaxley Lennon is applying for political asylum status in the US, a country he can't get a Visa for, because he fears for his life in the UK

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He’s going to prison for contempt isn’t he? Sort of makes a Visa to the States an absolute impossibility

 

[Tony Towner]

He already can't due to the numerous times he's already been to prison. It's a publicity stunt which the right wing in the US are lapping up. He's going down on Thursday and wants Trump to intervene as he'll get killed in prison as they are run by jihadist gangs.

 

[Keef]

Run by Muslim gangs,even though he and Britain first claim no Muslims go to prison for anything ever,and the knuckle dragging,tattooed,shaven headed,overweight idiots that follow tommeh and Britain first believe every word

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Even if the US were minded to offer asylum, which they absolutely won’t be, he has to somehow leave this country to get there. Chances are very high that he has had to surrender his passport as he is a strong risk of absconding before Thursday. It’s a nothing story.

How can Boris tout no deal? I thought Parliament had said they wont allow it, so surely it's off the table, or have I missed something?

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He thinks he ride roughshod over them or possibly prorogue parliament to prevent it sitting to vote against. That won’t work hopefully as it would be the most undemocratic thing attempted in decades so a vote of no confidence would surely succeed before prorogation took place.

No deal is the default option, so technically nothing needs voting on. I think we'd have a GE on a no deal platform first.

Whoever becomes the new Prime Minister should put their deal, or No Deal, back to the people in a public vote.

In those circumstances, Labour would campaign for Remain against either No Deal or a Tory deal that does not protect the economy and jobs.

Or a General Election via a vote of no confidence...and likely would then campaign for a Labour deal to leave.

John Major says he will seek a judicial review to prevent this prorogation idea.

Spokesman for BoJo says Major is “bonkers” and “has been driven completely mad by Brexit “. Helpful

 

[Papper]

Two general elections, a referendum and the EU elections and there is still resistance to the democratic process. Even the worldwide reduction in car sales is now being blamed on Brexit. The furore surrounding Von Der Leyen is a stark reality of centralisation by the corporates. Cometh the revolution eh ..... chaps

Quote about Boris Johnson taken from Twitter.

'He came across as a dumb bloviating fool.'

What a great word. "talk at length, especially in an inflated or empty way".

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I've said it over and over and over again, even if you believe in Brexit as a concept, we just don't have the systems or people to make it work properly. And you can't just magic them up.

[Sniffer]

MPs have voted to stop Boris Johnson proroguing parliament in the autumn to facilitate a no-deal Brexit by 315 votes to 274 - a majority of 41.

17 Conservatives voted to stop it and a number of Cabinet Ministers abstained.

 

[Langers]

Margot James (my MP) in 'doing something I actually agree with and commend' shocker - she voted for the amendment and has resigned from her ministerial role.
