Put It To The People!
Boris Johnson demanded a 'second vote' on his Brexit Bill within 48 hours of its defeat in the House of Commons.
Yet he opposes a democratic People's Vote on Brexit even though the Government's proposals are so very different to what was promised in the 2016 referendum.
Put It To The People (21/10/19)
Boris Johnson mounted a political 'coup' earlier this year against his own party leader and Prime Minister when he led a coalition of MPs in rejecting Theresa May's Brexit deal which had been negotiated in good faith with the European Union.
At the time Brexiteers said this was about taking back control and that Parliament was sovereign, but now that the boot is on the other foot, with MPs' voting down a second (arguably worse) Brexit deal, Johnson and his supporters are crying foul.
The will of the people is being denied claims Johnson, yet the reality is that the 2016 referendum never voted in favour of any particular kind of Brexit including a No Deal Brexit.
So three and a half years later and now that we have a clear idea of what Brexit means (Theresa May's deal, Boris Johnson's deal or No Deal) the time has surely come for the people - not the politicians - to have the final say.
Bollix to Brexit! (19/10/19)
Tony Blair: This deal doesn’t end the Brexit saga, which will define our country for generations. You don’t take a decision of destiny through a spasm of impatience. Parliament should vote this deal down, get an extension & then the British people should take the final decision.

I can't believe there are any Labour MPs who are short-sighted enough to vote for Brexit because, as Tony Blair explains, the final decision should be left to the voters to choose between Remain and Boris Johnson's half-arsed deal.

Boris Johnson proclaimed the importance of staying in the EU Single Market before the referendum in 2016.
Boris Johnson initially welcomed Theresa May's deal and congratulated the Prime Minister on her Withdrawal Agreement before subsequently resigning from the Cabinet.
Boris Johnson is an habitual liar and cannot be trusted.
Lies, Lies....and More Lies (19/07/19)
The case for Brexit was built on a whole series of lies - lies about an extra £350 million a week for the NHS, lies about the withdrawal negotiations being the easiest thing since sliced bread and lies about UK businesses being strangled by European 'red tape'.
And here's Boris Johnson demonstrating that more than three years after the EU referendum - absolutely nothing has changed.
Which is why we should say - Bollocks to Brexit and demand a People's Vote.
"I want you to consider this kipper..."@BorisJohnson held a smoked kipper above his head claiming regulations imposed by 'Brussels bureaucrats' were damaging the trade.
But the European Commission has debunked this claim - latest politics: news.sky.com/politics
