Unelected Zac whathisface was apparently told by No 10 to apologise to the Privileges Committee prior to resigning from something.

The other MPs comments were far worse, so it's going to be an interesting few days.

Dorries to resign with immediate effect, again?

Puts them in a weird position given Rees-Moggs comments doesn't it.

I’m enjoying watching this all unfold. The snide fuckers who thought they were above the law, above due process and beyond any kind of governing have had their pants pulled down.

And they don’t like it one bit. All throwing hissy fits and tantrums because they’ve been taight a lesson by the bigger boys.

The sooner they all f*** off into obscurity, the better for our country and our democracy.

Another clip from QT showed not a single member of the audience supporting the Rwanda policy. Despite Bravermen's statement that the majority of us support it.

Again - an example of how out of touch they are.

Rumours doing the rounds in Westminster that the Government are going to hold a referendum on our membership of the ECHR, so they can force through their rancid Rwanda policy.

If true( I’m not convinced) who would vote to have the human rights we have removed?
This stinking cesspool of a Government have been bad enough even with the ECHR, without it, how bad would it get?

I have never thought that they are full on Fascist, although some amongst their number are probably fellow travellers, if we come out of the ECHR, there would be a lurch to the far right, and that, quite honestly, petrifies me.

Leaving the ECHR would break the Good Friday Agreement, so I think it is just a threat and scaremongering. They know they only have 18 months left at the outside. I'm not sure they can lurch any further to the right.

There are plenty out there; you know, like the ones that voted to remove their own free movement around the EU. They do not believe they need human rights and only see people they don't like seeking reliance on them.

It's not a 'club' as such - just a court that rules on the various human rights legislations once the national court processes have been exhausted. They would still be bound by British court decisions (and it's a British court that has just ruled it illegal).

It would be a difficult thing to opt out of the ECHR - because they would still have to overturn the relevant legislation to force something through.

A referendum wouldn’t be legal in making such a decision.

Steve Barclay is one slimy so and so. Sophy Ridge just congratulated him on getting in his tagline about cost and I am fairly sure he winked at her.

Well I suppose our Jacob could do a ministry of silly walks goose step up the Mall but that would probably be spotted even by the more stupid of their reducing support.
God, they really are a mad bunch of loons
And they’re running our country. 😨

They would have to get it through the house - not a chance in hell
