Let's make things worse



Some Tory MPs in talks with Labour to block fracking plans

Some Conservative MPs are in talks with opposition parties to try to block the government's fracking plans, the BBC has been told.

Currently, MPs are not set to get a vote on the government's pledge to lift the ban on fracking in England.

But Labour want to force a vote on the issue, while some Tory MPs have told the BBC they would like this too.

Talks indeed. Why not demonstrate their convictions and glue themselves to the M25 instead? Or a famous painting? That's the fashionable way to do it at the moment. Talks are so last century.

I wasn't a fan of Liz Truss, didn't think her trustworthy or capable. I definitely don't like everything she is doing but seeing how the bulk of the establishment 'blob', Tory wets and even the BoE are trying to take her down and she's holding firm in doing something different to dig us out of the economic hole of the past decade I'm changing my opinion. If she would just quit the support of the US over Ukraine and turn against the NWO, while cancelling HS2 and net zero I might even get to support her.

She might as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb.

I'm beginning to suspect an anti-Brexit coup - a quisling coup, in fact. First get rid of Boris then knife Liz.

Woodsy - I agree, the establishment 'blob' trying to take her down feels positive in that we do need a different direction if only to establish that there can be a different direction.

dearieme - I suspect an anti-Brexit coup too. It all feels like a deliberate move back towards the EU, especially when we add Starmer to the picture.

With an estimated 80% of MPs being remainers and the bulk of the civil service, it was always going to be a difficult task to actually leave.
Yet since the referendum anyone with a brain looking at how the EU lies and is run, would never want to join in the first place which does not say much for our politicians, perhaps notionally leaving the EU has frightened them as to having to work and make decisions on behalf of the country again, something they are currently proving to be inept at.

Wiggia - I suspect our MPs are a mix of globalists and remainers, many being both. They appear to see no future for national independence.
