iain duncan smith former tory party leader says the irony is luxembourg was saved by britain, ifind thatourg was saved by britain, i find that utterly distasteful, that some brexiteers still seem to be waging the second world war. corbyn, who has been pretty good, i'm not a fan of his at all, said white isjohnson talking about this as a surrender? we are not waging a war against the eu, geoff boycott, who i would not normally quote as a political stage, went on good morning britain the other day and said we won the first and second world war so we can easily deal with brexit. ifind and second world war so we can easily deal with brexit. i find that really offensive. people co—opting the idea that because we won a war, therefore we can win another war, it's not a war. thanks to the eu, there hasn't been a war in western europe for the longest time in the entire history of western europe, so it is really offensive they are using that language, and i think it really brings death brings a horrible chord to me. and actually the treatment of the story coming onto the front page of the times, w

we should point out that iain duncan smith is quoted in this article and as part of this he is sayingome a brexit amata. —— martyr. the other option is to resign, leave it tojeremy the other option is to resign, leave it to jeremy corbyn to the other option is to resign, leave it tojeremy corbyn to apply for the extension and after the election, which would come fairly soon after, that could be used in essence to strengthen the borisjohnson hand in a contest. who knows? the daily mail, another question, who knows? the great election stitch up is their headline. look at this, breaking news. 75% of voters say mps have failed. they would say that. absolutely nothing. we are surprised it is as low as that. whatever your view of it is. people do feel that parliament has failed, mainly because what is going on now is so deeply complex. this has never happened before, all these sovereign powers have been brought on the table that people didn't know existed, all these locking motions. the law has at one point had 99 amendments. it is just the law has at one point had 99 amendments. it isjust

it is it is insatiable and your link your great city is appetite for monsters is what we had in duncan smith former tory leader saying the prime minister should be willing to be and would be seen as a brick sit mater so it's not something glorious to break the law and you know the thing that would do to britain's international reputation if the prime minister started trashing laws and trashing the rule of law i think you know i think would be a retrograde step i'd rather take a legal challenge to the law and i think if we go raise this is really in court after that and the talent to be the lot well the silly shit then if the supreme court says he should then he should but there are other ways around it and they've been well publicized he may be right of the letters. he may send a letter saying he wants or he's been told to ask for an extension to article 50 and he may want others i like that would look really good he sends one letters. you can't do i can't do this no you would say he would station extension and the other one saying i don't hear what makes a nonsense he will never cross i pro

mr iain duncan smith. mr iain duncan smith. mr speaker, mr iain duncan smith. mrspeaker, can i...hat document was to advise the government of what more they needed to do to be ready, it was not meant to be an assistant to the opposition spokesman, who struggles a very hard to get his lines right, it was a day for a purpose. that purpose is being met. the honourable gentleman hit the nail on the head. i thank the chancellor of the duchy of lancaster for advance sight of his statement and it allows me to be gained by pointing out the glaring omission. he ought to have started by thanking lady hale and her fellow judges in the supreme court for the decision they took yesterday because, without that judgment, decision they took yesterday because, without thatjudgment, he would not have had the opportunity to come to the house today and explain the government's preparations, and we would not have an opportunity to see just how woefully inadequately prepared the government actually is. and i don't put this down to a lack of effort on the government's part, i'm sure his committee is in p

joining me now is the former conservative leader iain duncan smith. let's just start with no deal.e here are beginning to think that is perhaps the likely outcome. are beginning to think that is perhaps the likely outcomelj are beginning to think that is perhaps the likely outcome. i think that's not a bad view. i think generally the mood of the party right now is that they are happy to see boris take the lead in all this. they stand by his position, which is to negotiate and hope to get an arrangement, but they are now beginning to solidify around the idea that if we don't, then the nation and everybody is ready to go with our withdrawal agreement. there will be lots of mini deals in place, butjust will be lots of mini deals in place, but just know withdrawal agreement. ministers say they hope to get a deal, but realistically, are we running out of time, because we would need a few days to look at firm proposals before the summit and there really isn't much time left? the team that is doing this, i am convinced that they are genuinely trying to go through options at the moment wit

cheering mr ian duncan smith!ourable friend the prime minister... order! order! i appeal to members of the house to calm themselves he is entitled to put his question and the rest of us are entitled to hear him. mr speaker, cani can i congratulate my right honourable friend on his put—down of the shallow leader of the opposition? can i also say i understand his government has changed to the root origin of the term yellow hammer to describe the botched attempt by the leader of the opposition to dispatch his own deputy? and could i ask him, could i ask him, could i ask him... i received and signed my constituency, as others did recently, leaflets from the labour party calling for a general election now. could he answer me this question? can you give me any reason why we are not having an election at this particular point? does he think for any moment it could be because leader of the opposition fears his own party just leader of the opposition fears his own partyjust as much as he fears us? i think my right honourab

yesterday he was with iain duncan smith, in a marginal seat again. an mp yet, about issues that they are having. what has been quite about what has happened with borisjohnson is that quite about what has happened with boris johnson is that everywhere quite about what has happened with borisjohnson is that everywhere he has gone it seems like something like this happens, and he is booed everywhere he is around the country, and even in luxembourg. anyone having watched that clip, it doesn't matter what your politics are, there is an error of absurdity about the moment borisjohnson says there is no press here. you don't have to be pro or anti to think sometimes politicians just get things wrong. that was daft, wasn't it? it was daft, but i think you don't have to have watched the thick of it to know this is relatively commonplace. that is not saying it is a good thing. but i think the obsession with trying to get culture moments with politicians, not necessarily that this guy was trying to do that, but the means by which we try to embarrass on social me

point of order, mr iain duncan smith.ther that statute then covered and assumed the rights under 53, which were the rights under 53, which were the rights to extend and accept that extension, or whether or not that right now still remains a government prerogative under the prerogative powers. there has been a court case this last month, august 19, lord justice higginbotham of the appeal court ruled categorically that it did not assume such a thing in the case against the english democrats, and ruled that the government still retained the prerogative rights under article 53. i wonder whether mr speaker you had seen that ruling, and whether or not you would take consideration of that prior to third reading, which is where i gather a third -- reading, which is where i gather a third —— a final decision would have to be made. my initial response is that we are guided in these matters by house rules in respect of queen's consent. it would be a mistake to think they are extrapolated from or dependent upon judicial interpretatio
