The former PM said the move, which could be accomplished without the Queen’s consent, would be a “piece of political chicanery that no one would forgive or forget”

Sir John Major said on Thursday evening he feared Boris Johnson’s Government would try to bypass legislation requiring a Brexit extension by using an order of the Privy Council.

I would forgive and forget in a heartbeat. What I haven’t forgotten, John Major, is the way you schemed to overthrow Maggie Thatcher, and when you did become PM what a complete pig’s ear you made of everything you touched!

We don't forget the mess you made of it Major

No Major, people would CELEBRATE!!!! SirJohnRoyMajor

Why are such people after undistinguished careers wheeled out as wise elder statesmen? Major’s chicanery over Maastricht is still not forgiven or forgotten.

Just in case, I forgive him in advance.

I’d forgive & forget it fairly quickly to be honest.

Why do we keep on trotting out this chap. Most people have never heard of him.

Get rid of Boris to win a election

Like the Benn Act you mean?

Major was, and still remains an embarrassment. He presided over the ERM debacle, transacted a chaotic privatisation of the railways and suffered an enormous landslide defeat in 1997. His best moments were as a grey puppet on Spitting Image.

Coming from a man who tried to cover up sleaze he needs to disappear from our faces and think about how he prorogued parlaiment and his lack of morality and honesty. How many can have respect for a whizz court made up of remainers and take their smug verdict seriously really!

Ii

We wont forget your deceit when signing the

Really, from a man without a drop of integrity. Perhaps we should bombard you with endless YouTube videos of you as PM as a reminder.

And who can forgive you Mr Major?

He was no good as PM and no good now he only speaks for the minority or Loosers.

Oh I'd easily forgive and forget. Another 17.4m will too.

What you are doing Sir John is political Chicanery , you really must be out of touch with the electorate 🙈

given that noone is going to forgive him Gina Millar or the SC we might as well get on with it

Many would actually applaud it and he'd go on to win the GE and time will tell who was right. whatHappenedToTheMileniumBug ?

Political chicanery as in Maastricht Treaty without the promised referendum? Old horses used to end up in the knacker's yard, near the glue factory.

This guy is the one who took us in without or consent, he should be in prison for treason

If it happens he has been forced to use it as so many MPs have ignored the will of the people. They deserve to be unemployed and I can’t wait for that to happen.

majorleak2017 have you read constitutional lawyers on this? such as davidallengreen because the answer is Padfield. (1968)

John Major is a ardent remainer who just like most of the Parliament want to frustrate Brexit. This Parliament is dead as a Dodo

You mean like John Bercow.

Hope it happens!! BackBoris backbrexit

Oh you mean this EU puppet?

There was a brexit deal, which ERG extremists scuppered three times!

17.4m would forgive and forget. We don’t forget your Maastricht sell out though.

I don’t know the answer to this but has John Major brought this up because, like prorogation, he has used it himself to get out of a tight spot and then criticised others for doing the same thing.

Nobody has forgive him or forgot: 1) refusing the UK public a vote on being shackled to Europe. The horrendous Maastricht treaty. 2) shutting down parliament to prevent “cash for questions” scrutiny. Proper journalists would hold him to task for his hypocrisy.
