Remember last year, when MPs voted against a no-deal brexit by 240 votes?! For perspective, a 2nd referendum lost by 12 votes, a Customs Union by just 3.
...so Johnson sacked 21 of his MPs just for allowing the vote to go ahead. That's how much he cares about democracy.
In January last year, Theresa May suffered the largest parliamentary government defeat since 1924, losing by a COLOSSAL 230 votes.
Three months later, No-deal Brexit lost the meaningful vote by 240 VOTES!! That's how much it's wanted.
Johnson changed just 5% of Theresa May's Withdrawal Agreement that had just suffered the worst parliamentary defeat for 95 years.
He made it worse, by deleting clauses on citizens rights, environmental protections and pretending to resolve the NI backstop.
Johnson and Cummings then killed the Conservative Party and stuffed it's carcass with subservient right-wing nationalists. He managed to deceive the electorate about his oven-ready deal, and even then only secured 43% of the vote at the GE.
He called that "a clear mandate".
