The infamous five Prime Ministers

 

The five Conservative Prime Ministers of this millennium have cumulatively inflicted such deeply ingrained damage to our country that it may take generations to repair what they have done.

How freaky hair 'won' in the Netherlands and Britain

 

An editorial in The Guardian asked a key question following the shock ‘win’ this month of a far-right politician in the Netherlands, Geert Wilders, and his anti-immigrant ‘Party for Freedom’.

‘How did the Netherlands reach the point at which a former political pariah finds himself on the threshold of formal power?’

The bias changed and we got Brexit

 

Brexit used to sit on the far side lines of politics.

True Tories were Remainers

 

Conservatives, have you forgotten what your party in power used to stand for regarding Europe?

For most of the past seven decades, Tory governments did more than any other to bring us closer to our continent.

Don't blame voters for Brexit

 

Just 24-hours after the EU referendum on 23 June 2016, I posted this on my blog:

Every Prime Minister that wanted Britain IN the EU

 

Every Prime Minister from 1957 to 2016 wanted Britain in the European Community. 

Who made the decision to leave the EU?

So, here’s THE key question: Who made the decision for the UK to leave the EU?

How Cameron, May and Johnson let down Britain with Brexit

 

The three Tory Prime Ministers of this millennium – David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson – could have been the solvers of Brexit if only they’d been wiser, magnanimous and acted in the national interest.

General elections are how 'the people' decide

Some people say it was undemocratic for Britain to join the European Community in 1973 because ‘the people’ weren’t asked in a referendum. But that’s not how decisions are made in Britain.

Cameron, May, Johnson: Where they went wrong

The three Tory Prime Ministers of this millennium – David Cameron, Theresa May and Boris Johnson – could have been the solvers of Brexit if only they had been wiser, magnanimous and acted in the national interest.

What will Theresa May be remembered for?

• Tory Prime Ministers Benjamin Disraeli and Theresa May - centuries apart.

Over Easter this year, I visited Hughenden Manor, an imposing Victorian mansion, located near High Wycombe, that was the country house of the Conservative Prime Minister, Benjamin Disraeli.

We're destroying the pro-Europe legacy of past Prime Ministers

All the past British Prime Ministers since 1957 wanted Britain to be a member of the European Community. Could they all have been wrong?

True Tories are Remainers

Arron Banks, the insurance tycoon and Brexit campaigner who bankrolled both UKIP and Leave.eu, has launched a vitriolic campaign to deselect Remain-supporting Tory MPs who represent ‘Leave’ constituencies.

Destroying the legacy of past Tory Prime Ministers

When Prime Minister, Theresa May​, said in Florence last autumn that, “the United Kingdom has never totally felt at home being in the European Union”, she not only misrepresented the history of her country, she betrayed the legacy of her party.

Why referendums and Parliament are incompatible

This week Theresa May’s Tory (aka UKIP2) government suffered a major defeat in the House of Lords.

All aboard for Brexit?

All aboard, please. Do you have a ticket?

“Yes, to the EU! Who’s driving us?”

That’d be David Cameron. But Theresa May is also here. She’s the navigator. She says the EU is the best destination for the nation!

Theresa May is destroying the legacy of past Tory Prime Ministers

Britain's new Prime Minister, Theresa May, is intent on undoing the progressive achievements of all her predecessors. 

There is no mandate for a hard Brexit

It’s now clear beyond doubt that the new Tory government is planning a hard, hard Brexit for Britain.

In her first interview of the year, new Prime Minister Theresa May said on Sky TV that Britain couldn’t hold on to ‘bits’ of EU membership.

Mrs May takes control, without a ballot or a bullet

Former Prime Minister, David Cameron, only offered an EU referendum to see-off UKIP and to appease the Eurosceptic right-wing of his party.

Sadly, the result of his endeavours has been that instead of seeing-off UKIP, his party has become UKIP, with the right-wing of the Tories – some would say the far, far right – taking over the government of Britain without even a ballot or a bullet.

Brexit: we took the wrong turn

They said ‘Take control’ and ‘Get your country back’. But instead, we have no one in control, and we’ve lost our country, which is in turmoil.
