Rebel alliance News

Stories of the week 15th September

The appalling and disastrous implications of No Deal were revealed this week when Parliament forced the Conservative government to reveal details of operation Yellowhammer. Even then the Government refused to release full details and tried yet again to spin and lie their way around the topic. Food shortages, medical shortages and civil unrest are just some of the things to look forward to from the Conservative’s negotiating strategy.

In response, the Rebel Alliance of opposition parties are considering all options including a second referendum which would leave the Tory party high and dry without a leg to stand on.

As Boris Johnson continued his kamikaze European exit strategy, a Northern Ireland poll revealed that people would rather re-unite with Ireland than remain in the Union. Nicola Sturgeon plans for a new Independence vote for Scotland after the forthcoming general election and now there is a growing move for independence in Wales.

Johnson and the Conservatives in a stark display of putting careers and party politics before national interests are determined that the UK should suffer in order to keep their voters happy. What a noble group of people.

Politics

As the press reported, from Birmingham to Berlin, crowds came out to protest against Johnson’s anti-democratic prorogation of Parliament. These ‘Stop the Coup’ protests took place around the UK and in international cities around the world. At the moment Parliament was being prorogued, opposition MPs tried to keep Speaker John Bercow in his seat so the closure couldn’t take place. MPs joined together to sing Jerusalem, Bread of Heaven and Flower of Scotland – all battle hymns of the Union.

Legal challenges against Johnson proroguing Parliament were launched in England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. The action in Scotland found Johnson’s move was illegal with many Judicial experts claiming he should resign immediately.

In more bad news for Johnson, he was accused of being a ‘Pound Shop Dictator’ and ‘no better than a bank robber’ after Johnson threated to ignore Parliament’s Brexit Act instructing the Prime Minister to seek an extension.

Having expelled 21 rebels, the Tories suffered more losses as MPs defected from Johnson’s disastrous and insidious strategy. It has become increasingly clear that No Deal is an ideology rather than any practical course of action.

Nigel Farage and the Brexit Party are seeking a pact with the Conservative who have so far denied they have any interest in creating any kind of agreement. This of course means that the pact between the two political parties will eventually happen.

Stories of the week 8 September

Politics

Where to begin on a monumental week in Brexit Politics.

The new Rebel Alliance defeated Johnson this week on all fronts. The opposition parties plus 21 Conservative party Rebels were able to block Johnson’s suicidal move for No Deal. Johnson immediately expelled the Conservative rebel MPs from the Party which led to even more resignations from high-ranking Conservative Politicians. Critics said Johnson was turning the Conservative Party in the English National Party.

Johnson’s attempt to silence Parliament was met by demonstrations across the country and across Europe. The public and politicians were clear in their condemnation of Johnson anti-democratic move. Demonstrations were not the end of it. Legal challenges to the silencing of Parliament were bought in Northern Ireland, Scotland and England as the courts were being asked to step in and defend democracy. Johnson was even quoted in court as calling Parliament a nuisance.

Johnson had a terrible week all round. Parliament took control and was able to force through a law making Johnson seek an extension or get a deal. No deal Brexit was taken off the table. Johnson said ‘he’d rather die in a ditch than delay Brexit’ it seemed that parliament are now pointing the way to the ditch. To add further insult to injury, Parliament also seems set to deny Johnson his much promised October General Election. The Rebel Alliance of Tory rebels and opposition parties want to see an Extension to Article 50 or a deal before they will consider approving an election. Johnson now has limited options. He must obey the law or resign. If he does not obey the law he would be subject to arrest and imprisonment. If he resigns, the Rebel Alliance would form an alternative government.

We are watching the Conservative party rip itself apart as highly respected and highly experienced Conservative Politicians are either thrown out of the Party or resign before they are pushed. Johnson’s close adviser Dominic Cummings came under brutal criticism for his role in creating the utter chaos that is now the Conservative Party.

Brexit

It became official this week as Johnson tried to push for his No Deal Brexit exit plan more news flooded out about the catastrophic impact a No Deal Brexit would have for the UK. Supermarkets confirmed food shortages, the car manufacturing sector would collapse and mortality rates would rise from medical shortages. Jacob Rees-Mogg was forced into a humiliating apology to a doctor for decrying the doctor’s true description of the situation.

World

Despite Hong Kong deciding to withdraw the China extradition law, protests continue as tensions mount between protestors and the Chinese authorities.

Former Zimbabwean president Robert Mugabe, 95, who ruled over the decline of the country, died in hospital in Singapore this week. Mugabe was the vicious and notorious leader of the country for decades.

Stories of the week 25th August

Brexit

The Press noted that Boris Johnson looked twitchy and nervous as he met Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron this week. Both European leaders ensured that Johnson was left in no doubt that he had 30 days to come up with a solution for Northern Ireland. It took Jonson less than 30 seconds to lie in a public statement. He was quickly corrected by Angela Merkel.

More news on the much-promised UK-US Trade Deal this week and most of it grim. It appears that not only will the UK suffer from potentially hazardous US food safety standards with delicacies like chlorinated chicken but also the US is eyeing up the NHS. The same medicine costs 10 to 20 times more in the US than it currently does in the UK and people fear of a huge cost explosion for prescribed drugs.

A new video games ‘Brexit Royale’ will depict the population of the UK fighting each other to the death to survive in post Brexit Britain.

Politics

In true Star Wars style, a new ‘Rebel Alliance’ has formed to bring down the Johnson government’s and prevent No Deal. Members from all parties including a large number of anti-Brexit Conservative MPs are launching a No Confidence vote and setting up an interim Government of National Unity while Johnson considers closing Parliament to push through his No Deal. A striking example of Johnson’s abuse of power.

Boris Johnson was branded a known liar and was accused of adopting the same communication strategies as Putin. His facebook chat ‘direct to the people’ is a deliberate ploy to avoid Press scrutiny and questioning in a direct copy of Putin use of the social media website. In the first broadcast, Johnson took less than 10 seconds to lie.

Austerity

In more distressing news on the outcomes of the Conservative Party’s near decade long destruction of benefits, tens of thousands of children in the UK are growing up in diabolical conditions having been housed in shipping containers. Critics say this is the Government’s abject failure to address homelessness and poverty.
