The Coalition of Expensive Chaos

[merseyboyred]

Anyone with a brain will realise any money saved from EU membership will be used to offset WTO tariff costs, in a bid to avoid large co-operations upping sticks and heading across the channel

I agree

The sick and disabled aren't the enemy now. Get with the programme, it's all about forcing businesses to disclose how many non native people they employ and jailing landlords for renting to illegal immigrants.

Is it just English scroungers you want?

Dude, just don't. Nothing good will come from conversing with this weirdo. I thought it would once. But no, it won't. Just save yourself the bother.

I was wondering who you were talking about. Just put him on ignore and you never have to see anything by him ever again. It's glorious.

I'm not a Corbyn fan obviously, but hammering May on Brexit was the correct strategy today. Long may he do so.

Yeah, this is a bit weird. I understand the government have their own legislation in the works but filibustering seems pretty inappropriate, especially when the proposed legislation seems inferior to Nicholson's bill (under government plans individuals convicted under homophobic laws who are still alive will have to go through a unnecessary sounding administrative process).

As it's my old constituency I do feel I ought to mention the forthcoming by-election in Richmond Park triggered by Zac Goldsmith's resignation over Heathrow. Likely to be a fairly interesting contest for those of us enjoy a good old by-election DING DONG. Richmond Park comprises seven wards from the London Borough of Richmond and four from the Royal (no less) Borough of Kingston and was formerly a Liberal Democrat seat when they maintained something of a South West London stronghold (between 1997 and 2010 they held all five seats in the boroughs of Richmond, Kingston and Sutton. Richmond Park was lost to the Tories in 2010 with three of the four remaining seats turning blue as the Lib Dems were routed in 2015). At the time of the last election Goldsmith had build up a huge majority and I think he'll be pretty tough to unseat but I do wonder whether his personal vote may have weakened as a result of a) a rather nasty London Mayoral campaign b) Brexit. Like most of London Remain won the day in Richmond and Kingston and did so pretty convincingly. Unlike most of his constituents Goldsmith favoured Brexit so I imagine that this is likely to be a subject that features heavily in the campaign. If Witney's any indicator then the Lib Dems could make real headway (I'd certainly expect them to dramatically improve on the dismal 2015 result). I have to say that, whatever the outcome, the Conservatives' announcement that they won't be fielding a candidate in the constituency does seem to render the whole thing rather POINTLESS. Goldsmith wanted to make it a referendum on Heathrow - if there's no one from the governing party in the contest and no one standing who favours a third runway then how can it possibly be anything of the sort?!

Oh, apparently you can't just offer something to one small area of industry (because the Nissan decision was due and them pulling out would have been a political disaster, and you don't have a fucking clue what you are doing) without everyone else demanding parity.

'Over a dozen Conservative backbench MP’s are rebelling against May over her handling of Brexit, and are said to be planning on defecting to Labour.

If that's true, then their overall majority is gone, isn't it??

 

[silkyman]

And no surprise at all that they are trying to whitewash Orgreave.

 

[Aber gas]

Im pleased tbh. Any government inquiry would have been weak and half arsed. A judicial review is far better. We'll see those bastards in court. Probably not the ones that really matter but still.

Hearing BRITISH fishermen are to be rewarded when they grass up foreigners in our waters poaching once we leave...its getting a bit tasty I love this brexit me.

Shambles of a statement. Selling off more local authority housing, no mention of Brexit other than the hit being to the economy being almost double. Basically a long, tedious admission of abject failure.

If there was an opposition they'd be having a field day with this.
