    Democracy Or Hypocrisy?


    The Tories 1922 committee are currently working on a plan to change the party rules to allow a further no confidence vote in the PM.

    The ERG bunglers failed in their previous attempt. Current rules prohibit another attempt within 12 months. So it would seem that if they cant get what they want, their solution would be to change the rules.

    Labour Party policy seems to be to get another no confidence vote in the PM if possible, after losing the last one.

    Labour are desperate for another General Election.

    It is worth pointing out that the ERG voted for the PM, when Labour brought the no confidence vote, and against her when they instigated it.

    The reason for this is that the one Labour brought would have resulted in a General Election. The ERG would prefer to appoint another PM without going back to the electorate. They are not currently very keen on the idea of a General Election.

    The Meaningful Vote is about to reappear in Parliament for the fourth time, and maybe a fifth?

    Nicola Sturgeon is due to come out with proposals for another Scottish referendum today.

    After the General Election in 2015, the next one was due in 2020. Theresa May decided on another one in 2017, purely for her own ends.

    So there have been one extra General Election so far, two no confidence votes in the PM so far, three Meaningful Votes so far, plans for another Scottish Referendum, European Elections three years after we decided to leave.

    Yet a confirmatory vote on a Brexit deal is undemocratic.

    You couldn't make it up.

    Senior Tories demand Theresa May sets a 'clear roadmap' for her departure as Brexiteer coup against her fizzles out




    Another Brexiteer coup against Theresa May fizzled out as the party’s senior backbenchers decided not to change the party’s rules to allow an early leadership challenge against her.
    However, Sir Graham Brady, the chairman of the party’s 1922 committee, said that it was time Mrs May set a date for her departure by giving a “clear roadmap” for her exit from 10 Downing Street.
    Under the party's rules, Mrs May cannot be challenged until December after winning a no confidence vote last December by 200 votes to 117.
    Some members the party’s ruling 1922 committee had sought to change the rules to allow another vote after just six months.
    But in a meeting on Wednesday senior members of the executive...

    The Daily Mail leads with what it calls Jeremy Corbyn's "snub to the Queen" - after he turned down an invitation to a state banquet for US President Donald Trump.
    It says his explanation - that it was wrong to kowtow to a man who has engaged in racist and misogynist rhetoric - is "extraordinary".
    The Daily Telegraph says the Labour leader has been accused of "staggering hypocrisy", since he has - as the paper puts it - a track record of meeting terrorists and extremists.
    The Sun dismisses Mr Corbyn and the Lib Dem leader, Sir Vince Cable - who is also staying away from the dinner - as "political pygmies".
    In the online edition of the Spectator, the magazine's US editor Freddy Gray, calls the boycott "virtue signalling" that won't bother the president.
    "British politicians, vain creatures that they are", he says, "often struggle to understand how little they mean to American leaders."
    He says Mr Trump is well-disposed towards Britain but pays even less attention than most, despite his enthusiasm for Brexit.



    Cabinet ministers will this weekend be "hauled" before the Huawei leak inquiry, according to Telegraph.
    It says the hunt for whoever revealed details of a meeting of the National Security Council is now gathering pace.
    The Financial Times says ministers and their advisers could have their phone and email records checked.
    The Mail's columnist Peter Oborne argues there should be a full-scale criminal investigation, involving the security and intelligence services - and the culprit should be sacked and charged.
    But the paper's editorial instead warns that the leak inquiry must not be allowed to hinder press freedom.
    It says a witch-hunt is not justified.



    The front page of the Guardian says some online pharmacies are using "aggressive tactics" to sell strong, opiate painkillers.
    It says even firms which are registered with authorities are still failing to carry out proper identity checks.
    The paper adds it was able to buy large numbers of painkillers despite uploading random pictures when asked for photo ID.
    Doctors tell the paper it is "astounding" and "shocking" that people are being sent e-mails urging them to buy powerful drugs



    The Daily Mail calls the announcement of new talks about Northern Ireland's devolved government "a breakthrough", prompted by the fatal shooting of Lyra McKee.
    She was killed while observing rioting in Londonderry last week.
    The Times says there had been "growing pressure" for progress, while the Daily Mirror says the talks have been "spurred on" by the journalist's murder.
    The Irish Independent is worried the words of Father Martin Magill - the priest who led her funeral - had fallen on deaf ears.
    It says the DUP leader Arlene Foster and Mary Lou McDonald of Sinn Fein have both seemed bullish and confrontational despite wanting more talks - and it asks: "When will they be mature enough to realise that compromising and capitulating are not the same thing?"

    On its front page, the Daily Express focuses on a young mother suffering cystic fibrosis, who wants to know why she can't get life-saving drugs on the NHS in England.
    The paper carries an open letter from Carlie Pleasant to the Health Secretary Matt Hancock, asking him to visit her to give an explanation. The NHS says it is continuing talks with the drug's US manufacturer
    Finally, the Times reports that Heathrow airport is to make it possible within months for all passengers to board their flight without showing a passport.
    It says a £50m system, which will be in place by the summer, will instead use cameras and facial recognition. It suggests the idea is creepy but clever.

    Labour CRISIS: Corbyn on brink after leaked document ANGERS MPs - ‘Complete meltdown'
    JEREMY Corbyn is under huge pressure from Labour after a leaked document omitted any mention of a 'Final Say' vote on Brexit.



    The failure to include a second referendum could throw the party into chaos as the split between pro-EU MPs and Brexiteers grows. The leaked European Parliament manifesto has caused 90 Labour MPs and MEPs to issue a letter to the party demanding “a clear commitment” to another Brexit referendum. In their letter to the National Executive Committee (NEC), Labour MPs and MEPs insisted that the ‘the world is watching” and that the “party must be ready to rise challenge” of Brexit.

    After Brexit, Ireland wants 50,000 employed in international finance




    Ireland aims to have 50,000 people directly employed in its international financial services sector by 2025.
    A new strategy launched by the Irish finance ministry on Friday seeks to help the country become a “a top-tier global location of choice” for specialist firms.
    Though Ireland has long promoted itself as a location for such firms, in the wake of Brexit Ireland has made a noticeable push to encourage them to set up their European bases in the country.
