What a bunch of easily offended snowflakes Who Is America is airing on Channel 4 in the UK for those who want to watch it. First episode should be available on All 4 already

If I was to put money on someone it'd be on Gove. He's quite popular with both MPs and party activists. Honestly who knows though? One thing you can say about politics over the last few years is there's been plenty of surprises!

Aye a particularly persistent strain too Remember when everyone thought there was no way she could cling on after the humiliating GE result? That was over a year ago!

Still hurts to sit down but on the plus side I've got a banging pair of tits Honestly you have to sort of admire the sheer tenacity of the woman holding on for this long but surely she has to go now? This latest stunt is just pathetic and reeks of desperation.

Conservative party is being torn apart over Brexit so what's their plan to avoid May having to face a vote of no confidence? "How about we knock off for summer early lads? There's not much going on here." https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/989773/brexit-news-theresa-may-mps-summer-break-parliament

Well holding your breath until the next GE would be silly But if Labour are elected you can be sure they'll be made Bank Holidays
-
It's Labour policy to make all four of the Patron Saint's days Bank Holidays for the whole of the UK

Sorry max I forgot how triggered you get when I point out all the Labour policies you agree with

My post was a very on topic reply to max's already off-topic post pal

St George's day will be a Bank Holiday when Labour are elected

Remember you posting pics when you first got him and I could tell then he was going to grow into a handsome wee devil

Been living the dream out in the sticks with no internet and spotty mobile coverage where no c**t can bother me pal but I'm back in civilisation for a couple of days so thought I'd check in on you bunch of degenerates

https://news.sky.com/story/labour-bids-to-force-full-publication-of-leaked-brexit-impact-paper-11229394 Labour are going to use an humble address to force them to make the assessments available to all MPs, a public release will almost certainly follow soon after that. Not really I just think it's silly and alarmist to shout about democracy being dead because they're actually following the Article 50 process that we all knew about before the referendum. Just because the Brexit you voted for involved not negotiating with the EU at all and just walking away does not mean it's su

Something else to keep in mind is that if the Blairites were still controlling the Labour party the Remain/Soft Brexit Tory MPs would be a lot more likely to collapse the government to force a soft as possible Brexit/no Brexit at all because the alternative would a Labour party they broadly agreed with rather than the scary Marxist Maomentum controlled party we have today Thanks God for Corbyn eh

Still swerving then So I should turf out a hardworking family out of their home to make space for a refugee? Nope, won't be doing that I don't think it'd be right. Like you say, supporting the troops, OAPs, the homeless and refugees can be done in many forms Still I don't see why you couldn't at least take in a homeless solider over Christmas, it would be easy to get in touch with a charity and offer a warm bed and meal to a solider down on his luck but you chose not to Really is shameful.

There's enough "Hard Brexit" MPs to force a leadership challenge if May keeps dithering and dragging her feet IMO. Whether that will actually leave us in a better position is anyone's guess.
-
They're in a tricky spot because their natural allies in big business are of course generally more in favour of Remain/Soft Brexit, their voter base and membership are mostly in favour of Hard & Fast (Oo err ) Brexit and their MPs are pretty split down the middle. It's what makes predicting what direction they'll eventually go in so difficult.
-
No actually your original post was about conditons in the rental sector and how they need to be improved. I then showed you Labour's plans to improve them. You said well manifestos are all bullshit anyway and Labour wouldn't really do any of that. I showed you that Labour have in fact put forward legislation to work towards improving conditions, attempting to implement at least part of their manifesto even though they're not actually in government, but were blocked by the Tories. You started banging on about Lilly Allen and refugees. See where we lost the thread of the

No, the democratic vote was to leave the EU, there was nothing about binding the government to walking away with no deal, in fact all aspects of the Leave campaign were geared towards how great the deal made will be... As long as the UK leaves the EU (and I'd include the Single Market and Customs Union in that because they're lumped in with "the EU" in most folks understanding IMO) the result of the referendum has been upheld. I don't think even they have decided if they're willing to do that or not yet hence all of infighting and jokeying for power.
-
I seem to remember saying I didn't have space in my own home and my rental properties are all occupied actually but I'd be happy for you to prove me wrong Still no comment on the original point of the reply I see
-
Article 50 has been triggered and a date set when the UK will leave the EU, the vote has been implemented and now negotiations on the future relationship are taking place. When they start seriously moving towards staying in the Single Market and Customs Union or ever longer transition periods (which admittedly they're close to) I think it would be fair to start talk about subverting democracy but treating any kind of negotiation with the EU as going against the will of the people and the death of democracy is a bit alarmist.
-
New trade deals will be made with other countries, everyone was very clear about that during the referendum and in fact was one of main benefits spoken about! The EU is a massive trading bloc right on our doorstep with already established ties, of course the government will be looking to make a deal with them as soon as possible. Negotiating what the trading relationship will look like after Brexit is not subverting democracy, the people voted to leave the EU and entrusted their representatives in Parliament to carry that out, that's what they're doing. Just because you personally want to

That's the spin the government have put out but these impact assessments have been talked about for a while now and if you talk to people in Westminster they've been aware of them existing and waiting for the leak since before Christmas... We'll wait and see what they actually release but it's obvious whatever that is will be the result of pressure from this leak that has forced their hand.
