Why did the Prime Minister not exercise his powers and advice the Monarch to refuse Royal Assent to that Brexit-blocking surrender bill?

Britons prefer a clean Brexit in October by a 13%point majority, per YouGov poll.

US deal offer does not involve its top court taking jurisdiction over Britain, or any form of economic imprisonment such as customs union.
But the EU will only allow a deal with Britain if it can have Britain a vassal state under EU law.
What would you rather have?

US national sec adviser John Bolton says the EU treats Britons like peasants. He's right.
And he understands why the EU is a tyranny:
If we remain in the EU, we become its serfs?

The British people reaffirm their expectation that Brexit must be delivered, by 31 October 2019. No ifs, no buts.

US overtakes Germany as the largest supplier of goods and services to Britain - up 14% just last year.
And Britain's exports to the US at £121.6bn reaches record high.
Time to focus on that UK-US free-trade deal and ready it up for enforcement by next year?

Britain ranked Number 2 in CEOWorld's Most Startup-Friendly Countries in the World Survey for 2019.
Not another European nation in the top 5.
Free from the EU's shackles after Brexit, we can aim for the top spot for next year?

Rather, Boris Johnson's challenge is to ensure the Scots Tories under Ruth Davidson do not help the SNP by taking up an SNP-lite line against Boris and Brexit?
According to a renowned German institute, 12K jobs are at risk in Britain, while in EU27 422K jobs are at risk!
Of which 100K are German.
Will Germany prefer to see that much economic damage in order to make a political point of punishing Britain for wanting to leave?

The Prime Minister appears to suggest simply removing the backstop from May's deal is enough.
This is not on, EU law will still prevail over Britain and it won't be Brexit.

EU official says Britain will be forced to appoint an EU Commissioner among the 28 to serve under der Leyen.
Boris should appoint an 'EU Commissioner for Leaving the EU'?

Flakey fake Unionists like Mundell and Ruth Davidson have worked hard to find fault in Boris's Unionism, doing the SNPs dirty work.
Sacking justified?
PM-to-be Boris Johnson is great-grandson of Ali Kemal Bey, a Turkish/Ottoman journalist, poet and liberal politician:

Actually he did sign it in front of cameras, but you are still right - he did it by stealth, and without the British people's consent.

Churchill's preferred method of governing was cross-party coalition.
His admirer, and biographer, Boris, as new Prime Minister, should bring in key genuinely brexiteer Labour MPs, and Brexit-Party MEPs into prominent roles in delivering Brexit now?

Britain's PM-to-be Boris Johnson authored a book about Churchill: The Churchill Factor.
Surely, Boris would take a leaf or two out of it?

Those who are complaining about his mandate, remember, in addition to a majority of the MPs in his party, Boris won 92,153 membership votes 66%.
This Chief Commissar of the EU did not win even one such vote!

Hammond says further Brexit delay is 'urgently needed'.
Just when the EU Commission are about to offer a Brexit extension to the new Prime Minister.
What a coincidence eh!
Welcome to the EU Commission, a retirement home for failed national politicians. From Kinnock to Juncker!
The latest addition to this glorious list is Ursula von der Leyen, the failed German defence minister under investigation for malpractice in office.
Vive la EU?

Under Germany's defence minister Ursula von der Leyen's leadership, German soldiers were once forced to train using broomsticks instead of weapons.
This person is now appointed to become EU's Chief Commissar and thus lead the upcoming EU Army.
What could go wrong eh!

Funny how remoaners bemoan Britain's Prime Minister can be the (elected) government party leader who's made leader by party members,
while they say absolutely nothing against an unelected eurocrat appointed after backroom deals to become the Chief Commissar of all the EU?

In the land of the Soviets, it is said there were 'elections' where the only candidates on the ballot were from the Communist party.
In the EU, there was only one candidate yesterday -- an unelected one, nominated and then voted for by the EU Parliament.
Back in the EUSSR?

New EU Chief Commissar, EU-Army fetishist and failed German Defence Minister Ms Ursula von der Leyen to remove member states' veto on EU foreign policy.
How are the preparations to send your sons in battle under the EU army going, Ireland?

It is said that Ursula von der Leyen the EU's new Chief Commissar got her majority of 9 after 30 British (Labour, LibDem, Tory) MEPs voted in her favour,
which means once Brexit is done, she has no shred of legitimacy left to stay on as EU Commission President?

Remember EU citizens: Most EU Parliament votes by MEPs are made in secret: voters have NO clue who or what policy their MEPs voted for/against.
The EU is the very enemy of transparency, accountability and democracy.
Shouldn't we be glad we are leaving?

Jeremy Hunt has said he'd extend Article50 'by a few days' if he thought they were close to a deal.
He thus gives EU an incentive to create the appearance of an imminent deal and drag things further after an extension.
Call Hunt a negotiator?

So Ursula von der Leyen, EU's new Chief Commissar narrowly wins over EU Parliament vote by daring to reject a 'female'.
She herself confirms she has no eligibility to take on the role, only her gender entitlement?

EU elites are dragging much of Europe into a single imperial political unit, without the consent of a great many folk in Europe.
This can only be completed using one tool - that used by the Soviets, the third Reich, even the ancient Romans: force.
See why they want an EU army?

Meet Ursula van der Leyen, the new chief of the EU Commission - EU's supreme government.
She's said she wants “a united states of Europe – run along the lines of the federal states of Switzerland, Germany or the USA”.
Remainers, why do you still want us to be in the EU again?

Yeah! Just like Napoleon lived his last days, after Waterloo, thinking he was the emperor of St Helena, a remote speck in the Southern Atlantic Ocean...
Christine Lagarde, a bio:
Investigated for fraud & embezzlement. Let off of course.
Led a spate of inaccurate IMF forecasts, both before and esp during EURef.
And now, she gets to become EU Central Bank chief.
Why? Because the French get their way in the EU!
EU solidarity?

EU top job appointees..
Where they're from:
U von der Leyen, EU Commission: Germany
C Lagarde, ECB: France
C Michel: EU Council: Belgium, ie France & Germany's puppet state.
Can anyone still be blind to the fact that the EU is an undemocratic, Franco-German stitch-up?

Government: the Executive arm of the State that has the authority to table legislation.
The EU Commission, of 28 commissioners, is the EU body with this power.
And guess what, they are appointed, not elected.
Do remainers even know this?

The EU's bullying of Switzerland in the area of financial trading is unacceptable.

Jeremy Hunt has said as PM he would "never join a permanent customs union" with the EU.
Which means he'd sign up to a temporary one.
And how long before any shackle with the EU becomes permanent?

If the Tory party do not DO what they promised before the EU referendum, they will DIE.
And they will have this woman to thank for!

By saying this, Hunt is only giving the EU and Parliament an incentive to create the illusion of an imminent deal,
so that Prime Minister Jeremy Hunt is hoodwinked into asking for an extension beyond 31 October.
What sort of negotiator would do that?

Dominic Grieve and fellow Remainiacs' push to cut off govt department funding means the NHS will shut down in November.

The Euro is founded on such fragile ground that if the EU continue their bully-boy tactics against Switzerland and Britain, home to Europe's premier financial institutions, the EU will be digging its own grave!

By creating an unnecessary dichotomy between Brexit and the British Union, she's doing the SNP's work of helping the breakup of the Union.
How is remainiac Ruth Davidson any different from Nicola Sturgeon?
Jeremy Hunt says sticking to 31 October deadline to deliver Brexit will lead to Jeremy Corbyn becoming Prime Minister.
If so, why wouldn't that happen after 31 Oct? Is Corbyn shutting down the Labour party and moving to Cuba en masse on 1st November?

Which Jeremy Hunt is that?
The Jeremy Hunt who one day said Britain must leave the EU end October deal or no deal and on another day said leaving with no deal would be political suicide?
This is the Britain that the LibDem leader wannabe says is racist.
What adjective does she reserve for the French and Germans and other nations down further down?
The EU spends €114 million a month moving 751 MEPS and their staff from Brussels to Strasbourg to sit every month.
And this 'MEP' chides Boris for saying so?

Remember, Remainer Parliament -
If you block the incoming Tory PM from delivering the Brexit Britain wants,
you'll pave the way for Prime Minister Farage to take over the task of completing Brexit.
Pick your poison!

Sorry Mrs May, you had 3 years and you failed to find a viable plan to deliver a real Brexit.

Ireland may claim to be independent, but it's upped its devotion to Kaiser - (EU / Germany),
why, 'neutral' Ireland has even joined the fledgling EU army (PESCO)!
Words don't match actions Mr Varadkar?

For three gruelling years, a British Prime Minister progressively pinked and then erased her every red line.
The new PM should tell the EU it's now their turn to make concessions, no more from Britain.
Will that be Boris or Hunt?

EU now say they will not provide any "legal exemptions" to Ireland over border checks.
In other words, while the British govt has said it won't put up a border, EU is asking Ireland to do just that.
Who is violating the #GFA and pushing for a hard border here?

Across the EU, even the German economy is in slow decline.
