[Banksy painting depicting MPs as chimps
to go up for auction
The piece went back on show earlier
this year to mark the original
Brexit deadline of 29 March.
A Banksy painting that shows
the House of Commons filled with
chimpanzees is to go up for auction,
where it is expected to fetch up to £2m.
The artwork, named Devolved Parliament,
was unveiled 10 years ago as part
of the Bristol artist's exhibition
Banksy vs Bristol Museum.
It features rows of apes sitting
in the Commons wearing aprons
and carrying the inscription,
"Laugh now, but one day we'll be in charge".
The piece went back on show at Bristol Museum
earlier this year to mark the
10-year anniversary of that exhibition,
as well as the original Brexit deadline of 29 March.
Devolved Parliament will be
auctioned at Sotheby's in London
on 3 October and is expected to
sell for between £1.5-£2m.

Its nice you consider yourself Irish Lime, I so much as have to say I quite like the English and am battered for wanting to be English. Although unlike you I would never use a phrase like 'we English' as I will always be Irish, have an Irish passport, my kids have Irish passports, but I like you love my adopted country, the government are not making a great job of it at the minute mind, but the people in the UK should not be tarnished for that, what ever happens always remember 48 per cent voted to remain, and maybe if a few more bothered to vote we might not be in this mess at all.

Well it's just stated on the news that those demonstrating against this ridiculous cowardly PM were Brits.

He was ignorant, pure and simple, he's a charlatan.
No matter how much his hard-line supporters try to defend even his ignorant actions.

A PM of the UK, ignorantly leaving his host to do a press conference alone.
Because that UK PM couldn't take opposition to him by fellow Brits.

Odious creep he is.

Just as he drowned out those MPs who opposed him by removing them from the party. He needs to grow a backbone and listen to the opposition from a large proportion of the Nation he is meant to represent and not just ignore those voices when they are saying things he does not want to hear

Very petty of the Luxembourg PM imo and it's a bit rich to complain about being portrayed as 'the bad guy' when you intentionally humiliate a supposed ally in front of the world's media

Spot on.

Bully's are usually first to run away once they face seemingly real opposition.

Just as he did today.
Pathetic waste of space he is.

There is a difference between a few hecklers and an organised disruption. A few hecklers is acceptable and something reflecting democracy. An organised event designed to stop our PM speaking is not.

Those shouting about how undemocratic Boris is are coming across as complete hypocrites

Bettel's anger highlights a bleak truth: the EU27 just wants Britain to go
Luxembourg PM’s exasperation is shared by EU officials and national leaders


It was, by any standards, an unusual spectacle: the leader of the European Union’s second-smallest country deciding to empty-chair the British prime minister at what was supposed to have been a joint press conference after their meeting.

Ostensibly, logistics were the problem: No 10 was concerned by the small but very noisy protest awaiting Boris Johnson outside; Luxembourg government officials said there was no room big enough to move the event inside.

Whatever the reason, the press conference that Xavier Bettel ended up giving alone – gesturing to the lectern where his counterpart should have stood – served as a striking symbol of EU leaders’ mounting frustration with the Brexit process.

The Luxembourg prime minister did not hold back. The leave campaign had been built on lies, he said. Johnson’s oft-repeated claims of progress in the talks were baseless. London had come up with nothing to replace the backstop.

Above all, the UK – not the EU – was to blame for the impasse. “I just want to repeat and remind that Theresa May accepted the withdrawal agreement,” he said. Britain’s “homemade” problems were causing “general problems” for the whole of the EU.

This was barely concealed anger – not just at the uncertainty and stress being endured by citizens, companies and countries who, after three years, “want and deserve clarity”, but at the disingenuous game being played by the British government.

Johnson has talked, repeatedly, of “real signs of movement” in Berlin, Paris and Dublin on getting rid of the backstop, the perennial obstacle to a Brexit agreement. “A huge amount of progress is being made” in the negotiations, he insists.

For EU officials, the regular meetings with Johnson’s special envoy do not even qualify as “negotiations”. There are grave doubts, after his suspension of parliament and failure to advance any concrete proposals, that the prime minister wants a deal at all – and, should one be achieved, that he could get it through parliament.

Ideas for an all-Ireland regulatory regime for food and agriculture, which No 10 thinks would go a long way to replacing the backstop, fall far short of the requirement to protect EU markets from dangerous goods, fraud or unfair competition.

And as Bettel’s exasperation made clear, officials in Brussels, and leaders in national capitals, are running out of patience. Hopes that Britain might eventually give Brexit up as a bad job and remain in the EU are giving way to prayers that it won’t.

Many now dread the prospect, remote as it may seem, of a second referendum. “Why on earth would you want a country so bitterly and hopelessly divided to stay?” asked one diplomat. “The wounds are going to last generations. How damaging would that be to Europe? Come back, maybe – but leave and sort things out first.”

The EU27 members do not trust Johnson, but many have little confidence in Jeremy Corbyn or in the quarrelsome tribes of remainers either. Certainly, they would rather have a deal: no one wants the chaos and economic pain of no deal, or to be seen to be giving Britain a helping hand over the cliff.

But that deal clearly cannot come at any cost. Twenty-six member states will, first, never abandon Ireland when it insists on the need for an operable backstop because, despite the clout of Germany and France, the EU remains a club of small countries, most with populations smaller than 10 million.

Equally important, the European priority remains – as it has since June 2016 – the integrity of the EU single market. EU businesses are lobbying their governments, but not in order to persuade them to offer the UK a favourable deal so that sales of BMW cars and prosecco are not hit too hard.

No, European businesses want their governments to avoid any risk of British companies retaining privileged access to the single market while undercutting them by disobeying its rules: a weakened single market is a far more damaging prospect than even a no-deal Brexit.

For all those reasons, the EU would, on the whole, prefer Britain to leave now, if possible quite soon. And as Bettel’s irritation showed, it is fast tiring of a psychodrama that is costing it time, money and anxiety, and that is none of its making.
