Well what do you think?

	EU Parliamentary debate and vote on the Withdrawal Agreement For those that want to relive the EU Parlamentary debate and vote on the UK - EU Withdrawal Agreement together with all the speeches by the various MEP's plus Nigel Farage ( and the Brexit Party's ) disgraceful behaviour in the middle of the debate. Here's the link - although fast forward the video to 16:39 for the start of the debate and the singing of For Auld Lang Syne begins at 18:35 EU Parliamentary debate on the UK - EU Withdrawal agreement

That's a lot to wade through. 17:22:40 for those who want to see Farage making an arse of himself and his party behaving like kindergarten toddlers.

Ooh look! More lies...

	Mr Javid’s spending round speech, just three months before the election, the Chancellor declared he had “turned the page on austerity.” Mr Javid said: "No department will be cut next year. Every single department has had its budget for day to day spending increased at least in line with inflation. "That's what I mean by the end of austerity."

Today...

	Quote:
	The Chancellor promised just months ago that no department would have to shrink their budgets in 2020. But today he wrote to cabinet ministers, asking them to draw up cuts of up to 5% of their spending plans. They’ve been told to go through their budgets “line by line” and be ready to justify any spending plans and projects they want to keep. In the note, Mr Javid wrote: “We have been elected with a clear fiscal mandate to keep control of day to day spending. “This means there will need to be savings made across government to free up money to invest in our priorities.”

No thanks. I still think he looks like a smug tortoise in a bad suit.

I don't know. You utilized an exclamation mark.

Gold-plated gammon.

Well good question. I guess I meant it as a statement. But I think its usually taken as a question.

It is easy to recognise questions, they have a question mark like this "?".

So when is this actually happening? In 4.5 hours?

It's quite a thing to happen, no matter what one thinks about it: It's a first and - after four hysterical (in all meanings of that word) years - historical.

Just the first of many lies coming home to roost; somebody should start a website to record them for future historians.

To be fair, marton, many of your statements on EF end in a question mark!

That is a sign of openness and tolerance. He makes a statement, willing to be questioned and criticized.

I wondered if I should put a sarcastic emoticon but actually: Nope.

“Only in the agony of parting do we look into the depths of love.”
― George Eliot


For me, on so many levels.

[Blueangel]

"‘Twas the night before Brexit
When all through the state
Some people were worried
Concerned for their fate
Claims had been made without enough care
In the belief that EU membership was grossly unfair

Brexiters were nestled content in their beds
While visions of the 1950s danced in their heads
Boris in his tie and Nigel in his blazer
Congratulated each other on a good interest raiser

Then on Twitter there arose such a clatter
As Leavers and remainers continued the chatter
Away to Facebook I flew for a wheeze
To see people arguing about the new 50ps

Will Big Ben bong?
Will our passports be blue?
Were curvy bananas really banned by the EU?

The sky remained grey as the rain tumbled down
The green and pleasant land turned slowly to brown
When what to my feline eyes did appear?
But a leadership contest, led by a Keir

With Rebecca and Emily and Lisa N too
To pick up the pieces, though missing the glue
Now Cummings, now Raab now Shapps & Patel,
Now Gove, now Fox now Boris Johnson as well!
You got what you wanted, the victory is yours
But please don’t close all our windows or slam all the doors

Is Brexit hell or is Brexit heaven?
We start to get the answer tomorrow at 11
And so I exclaimed, without too much fuss
Farewell to the EU; it’s not you, it’s us."

No, as all bananas have a curve anyway. It's just that the curve varies.
