Ken Clarke gets his revenge on Boris Johnson as the MP labels him 'disingenuous'

The Former Conservative MP called Boris ‘disingenuous’ and told him to stop playing games over Brexit.
The veteran MP had been sacked from the Tory Conservative party along with 20 of his colleagues after they sided with the opposition in an attempt to block a No Deal Brexit on October 31.
Mr Clarke wasted no time and told Boris exactly what he thought about him.
“I do think the Prime Minister, with the greatest respect, has a tremendous skill in keeping a straight face whilst he is being so disingenuous.”
His remarks prompted applause from opposition MPs but Boris remained unimpressed.
The PM’s bold rallying cry to go to the polls was rejected by MPs who claimed he was setting them a ‘trap’.
Only 298 MPs opted for an election - far short of the two thirds of MPs (434) he needed to get it through.

It does make me laugh how fickle the liberals are over Ken Clarke because he happens (now happened) to be one of the few Tory MPs who were anti Johnson and Brexit. The guy is the very definition of Thatcherism. You should read up on the rampant homophobia he was behind on the blood scandal. That's the "Treasure" you speak of.

At the time of the debate, Boris and Co had been trumpeting how great their negotiation strategy was and Ken Clarke wades in and proves how big a sham the whole thing is. Out of context is not nearly as good as it was at the time, utter slap down for the lying PM.

Ken is spot on, commons will miss father of the house. Boris is crashing us out of the EU instead of attempting to do on sensible terms. The UK would be the one to suffer the most. It's not just about Brexit it's about the way it is conducted.

Nigel Farage on the other hand will even though he hardly turned up at it and when he did all he did was put on petulant displays of rudeness to fellow MEPs rather than involve himself in constructive change of the institution which it surely needs.

What was the "will of the people"? Was it based on a Leave campaign of exiting with a deal or exiting without a deal? I can remember that the leave campaign prompted leaving on a promise that it will be WITH a deal. And so they gained popularity. But don't think for one minute that everyone who voted to leave wanted a "No deal" scenario.

@TheItachiRulez 4 жыл бұрын

@@cheekymonkey3829 Don't think that everyone voting for leave wanted to leave with a deal. You see how your argument can be used against you? Your arguments hold zero ground because if we use your logic then we wouldn't get anywhere after any referendum because people vote for different reasons all the time. Also, it was mentioned tonnes of times prior to the referendum if we failed to get a deal we would leave on WTO terms.
