This the same john Major who prorogued parliament in 1997? Labour is expected to accuse Mr Major of proroguing parliament for the longest period since 1918 simply to avoid the embarrassing findings being published - cash for questions scandal 1997

Major like all the Remoaning ELITISTS IS only concerned with his own welfare, his pompous attitude shows that he has no grasp of how the ordinary people in the street feel about anything, he Brown and Blair are like peas from the same 'has been' pod.

Who pulled his chain

It’s high time to get rid of the traitors

Supply of peas running low

Former PM Major says he could take Johnson to court to stop him suspending parliamentForrmer prime minister Sir John Major has said he would be willing to go to court to try and stop Boris Johnson suspending parliament. Strange old world. After all the shouting about Parliamentary Democracy Mr Johnson wants to bypass it and Mr Corbyn wants to get a majority vote on Brexit and then campaign to overturn it. Not sure either are up to much. Him and Blair are the problem both guilty of selling us short in EU - breathtaking arrogance He has no juristiction in parliament. He is just a pundit now.
