THE Prime Minister is about to suspend Parliament to slash the chances of MPs stopping us leaving the European Union by October 31. By now, it’s probably the only way out of this impasse.
Parliament is heavily in favour of us remaining within the EU and NEVER leaving. And MPs have spent the past three years doing everything they possibly can to thwart the democratic will of the people.

As expressed in that referendum we had. You know, you remember the one. June 23, 2016.
Incredibly, the Opposition parties are denouncing Boris Johnson as “undemocratic” for this course of action.
God help us — if you ever wanted a definition of hypocrisy this is it. These are the MPs who have tried every trick in the book to keep us in the EU. They don’t give a damn what the public wants. And they call BoJo undemocratic! Bizarre.
They were all gathered together to make their fatuous Church House declaration. Insisting they will set up an alternative parliament if Boris prorogues parliament.
Fine, do it. Someone rent them a village hall somewhere in Rotherham. They can sit in it and bicker and make pompous pronouncements while we get on with our lives. And the Government gets on with delivering Brexit.
They’ve certainly made it harder for Boris to negotiate with Brussels by their selfish — and I say it again — undemocratic actions. But in the end they won’t matter.
Anyway, this barrel of jabbering monkeys can’t even agree with each other about anything. Magic Grandpa — Jeremy Corbyn — wasn’t there. We were told he had lots of meetings. Yeah, right. I didn’t know Hamas or the Cubans were in town.
But Labour wants Corbyn to be a caretaker Prime Minister after a vote of no confidence. Trouble for Grandpa is, nobody else does. The Lib Dems, led by Jo Swinson, want someone like Ken Clarke or Harriet Harman to be temporary Prime Minister. Two steadfast remainers — don’t forget, it’s not “No Deal” these people are against, it’s leaving full stop. Shoving a remainer such as Clarke in as Prime Minister would be, effectively, a coup.
The ludicrous Plaid Cymru will only back Labour’s plan if they promise to keep us in the EU. That’s against the wishes of the voters of . . . Wales.
The Greens wanted an alternative government comprised solely of women, because their mystical healing powers will be able to resolve the crisis. But no black people found a place in this government of theirs. It is becoming more and more evident that the Greens are loopy.
AGAINST THE PEOPLE
Boris Johnson is right to go on negotiating with the EU. He is also right to have taken a tough line with them. That’s what we should have done on Day One, June 24, 2016.
And he will be held to his word to deliver a full and proper exit from the EU by October 31 by Nigel Farage and his merry band in the Brexit Party.
Failure to do so will result in an annihilation of the Tory Party at a General Election.
What this all tells us is that Parliament no longer represents the people. It hasn’t done for a long while. But now at least it is clear. Parliament is working AGAINST the people. And it has been doing so undisguisedly for three years.
That’s why Boris is right to wave about the threat of proroguing Parliament. Leave John McDonnell, Swinson, Noggin The Nog and the rest of them to convene their traitors’ parliament.
With any luck, it won’t make an iota of difference. And then, at the next election, vote them all out.
All the Labour and Plaid MPs who represent leaver constituencies but don’t even pretend to honour their views. Get shot.
Nasty Guy
THE liberal Belgian politician Guy Verhofstadt is a strange-looking bloke.
Bit of a wrong ’un, in my book. If you saw him lurking outside a school you’d probably ring the Old Bill.

He’s also a nasty piece of work. When we voted to leave the European Union, this a***hole said: “Britain has shot itself in the foot. We intend to shoot you in the other one.”
So right away we should have known where we stood. Now Verhofstadt is whining about Boris Johnson’s intention not to pay the £39billion we supposedly owe the EU if we leave with no deal.
“Britain is better than that,” he said, pompously. Stuff it, Verhofstadt. There is a good case for saying we don’t owe a single penny to the EU.
And threaten us with no trade deal all you like – let’s see how the big European companies who send their exports to the UK like that idea.
Your days are numbered, Guy.
Count them.
