Thinking back, didn’t Raab resign as Brexit Sec because of the deal? shows what an idiotic hypocrite he is (no wonder Chris likes him).
Called it! Told Chris he was hypocritical on the matter and has nothing of substance to offer on the matter.

You still haven't dealt with my point. Did you even read his resignation letter on why he resigned? Maybe that will enlighten you...or perhaps it is easier for you and Dave to post in "glorious ignorance" and make lame cheap shots. You still don't have the faintest idea how the deal was agreed on WHO on the British side were really negotiating. Your claim that he negotiated the current deal is fictitious nonsense.
He is a hypocrite. What he wrote on his letter is a mere virtue signal to the Brexiteers.
His actions, speak far louder than some letter he wrote when he realised Brexit, the way he wants it, is impossible. So he prefers now to stand on the sidelines and offer platitudes to the Leaver's.

No, they pose it as a question ‘the real Brexit secretary?’
How unlike you to twist something to your viewpoint...

That's how most TV programmes would do it because it's an "investigation" of sorts. They can't really state it outright because TMay will never say "actually Olly Robbins is the real Brexit secretary".
But more evidence below...from the PM herself. Game over! Anymore nonsense you'd like to spread?

So why did you construct your sentence as if they did?

By the way, I see Dave's hero, Chukka Umanna, has now ironically named his party "Change UK" ... yet they want everything to stay the same. Also nice acronym: CUK.
So is there a specific time frame in British Law regarding the length between referendums? Who has decided on this?
"we only had a general election 4 years ago, let's postpone for another 36 as its unlikely the population has changed its mind in such a short space of time!"

You tried to link the two not me?
So I guess you will need to explain why these are the same. They are far from it

Actually regarding GEs, the Fixed-Term Parliament Act legislates for an election five years (or earlier if parliament so wishes). It's not simply a matter of opinion.
Regarding referenda...yes you are right...but then what message are you sending if simple ignore the result? A way to ensure a degree of stability is to respect the wishes of the electorate.
If you want extremists to thrive, do stuff that pisses a hell of a lot of people off. Ignoring a referendum result - which BOTH Remain and Leave said they'd respect (see my video previous post) - is an extremely dangerous precedent and it is what many Remainers are ignoring. The fact that many of them (including some in this thread) think it can be just simply ignored without any consequences is sky-in-the-pie thinking.
How can you seriously say, with a straight face, the UK lives in a democracy while ignoring a referendum result? It would make many tin-pot dictatorships in Africa look more democratic.

What?
How can you compare an advisory referendum (that has been taken through the courts and one side of which faced a criminal investigation) to democracy in Africa?
My point is this decision should reflect the will of the majority, if it no longer does then it should be called off.You tried to link the two not me?
So I guess you will need to explain why these are the same. They are far from it
