Let me ask you a serious question. Please put aside for the moment whether you voted to Leave or Remain.

If it is shown to be true that our own intelligence services found that the 2016 referendum was so compromised by foreign interference that it's result should be set aside then do you agree that it ought to be taken seriously and acted upon?

Just imagine that they had discovered that Germany and France had interfered and the result had been a 52%:48% result in favour of Remain. Would Farage and all the ultra Brexiteers be sitting quietly and saying "it doesn't matter, it was the will of the people"?

If there was interference in 2016 you can be sure that there will be again now. Trump has even done it openly.

This isn't a question of tribal politics. This is about democracy itself and we ought all be concerned about that whatever our personal beliefs.

With everything Johnson, just bring it on.

Senior politicians are making the point that he had enough time to deliver brexit in any case.

The delays and procrastinating were his fault entirely.

Once parliament approved there was enough time.

Whatever were they doing debating the Queens nonsense speech of a dead parliament.

'Do or die' 'dead in a ditch' thank God his ridiculous sell-out hasn't happened.

No wonder there are tory remainers too, they must be overjoyed !!!!!!.

Pesky Russians. There will be accusations they were involved in the US election next.

The BBC made a huge hoo-ha out of the grant given to Jennifer Arcuri running it as it's headline for quite a few days but when the Government confirmed that the grant was in order and that there had been no special treatment by Boris that was slipped in at the bottom of page 4

Is there no end to the tripe that you trot out

Once again you demonstrate that you are uncomfortable with the truth and want to see political shenanigans in everything. Sometimes what you see is actually the simple truth. A Parliamentary committee has an important report which the public need to read before the election. The government appear to be blocking its publication. We need to know why and then to see the report.

I suspect the hatred toward politicians has been ramping up for some time. The almost total detestation of Margaret Thatcher in Scotland is something to see.
I think politicians have been found out in the era of social media; the more people see of them the less they like.
