Any EU citizen can vote in municipal or Euro MP elections in any other EU state they reside in, not GE
Expats can vote up to 15 years after they have left the UK.
I wonder why nobody has challenged the right of people from Eire that can vote in a GE if they reside here?
Must be some reason , but I don't know what it is.

I think it was an old historical attempt to keep the ROI close to the U.K. and part of the U.K./ROI open borders. It’s an anomaly.....
 
I see May is trying to frighten Brexiteers with her ‘it might not happen without me’ scare story. This won’t wash really and is a pretty lame attempt to remain in power. She should step back and let Gove negotiate or she will be gone....

Pete that is a far better tactic than "vote for me or no deal" is for her; its the only way to get the DUP and the ERG back in their respective boxes.

In fact that she has started to do it now suggests that someone over there has pointed out to her what the mathematics in the Commons is, or more specifically how many of the spineless ballbags will fall into line if she threatens to rescind Article 50.

That's the Gove who was widely tipped to take the Tory leadership after the referendum but bottled it? That Michael Gove? That's who you're hanging your hat on now?
 
Has anyone thought about the implications for Bosmans after Brexit? Presumably they will no longer be relevant in the UK.

I can't imagine a return to the old days where a player still was somehow the property of a club even after their contract had run out tho..

Not just Bosmans, but free movement of any EU national. The evidence suggests that I think around 30-40% of the EU players in the PL today would fail to get a work permit under the rules non-EU nationals are governed by.

And no more grabbing a cheap Easyjet flight without a care in the world to get to European aways.

Paperwork, driving permits, immigration checks, all on the cards as we stand.

Great work.
 
UK cancer and children’s wards being hit by closures
https://www.theguardian.com/society...rds-being-hit-by-closures-nhs-staffing-crisis

Growing numbers of hospital units that provide cancer care and children’s services are among those being forced to shut because the NHS’s deepening staffing crisis means it has too few doctors and nurses to operate them safely.

The closures are leading to patients having to travel further to receive care as NHS bosses increasingly decide to centralise services in fewer hospitals in response to gaps in rotas.

The trend prompted the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) to warn that “skeleton staffing” means patients are suffering.

“Every day brings fresh and devastating examples of patients paying the highest price for staffing shortage. There are no benefits to running the NHS on a skeleton staff and refusing to acknowledge that means the ultimate losers, as ward closures around England show, are patients,” said Dame Donna Kinnair, the RCN’s acting chief executive.

Units providing cancer care, services to children and rehabilitation to older patients are among those affected by an ongoing trend which critics say is slimming-down by stealth of NHS care.

Kinnair said: “Staffing shortages push nursing staff to the limit, forcing them to deal with intolerable pressure and escalating workloads. Wards across the country find themselves in a position where even one or two registered nurses leaving or retiring means there’s no conceivable way to operate safely, and the remaining workforce are uprooted to plug gaps in rotas elsewhere.”

The BMA has warned that Brexit will make NHS understaffing even worse if fewer doctors from the EU27 countries decide to come and work in Britain.

How will we make up for the Brexit-driven collapse in European nurses working for the NHS? You guessed it! By scrapping the student nurse bursary and working them into the ground while paying at least £10k/annum less than any other developed English-speaking country!

Starting nurse's salaries by country:
Britain - £22k
Canada - £35k ($58k CAD)
Australia - £37k ($65k AUD)
USA - £52k ($67k USD)

^^Thanks Tories! ^^Thanks Brexiteers! Take a bow, lads.

Michael Gove: a man consistently wrong on facts and representation of information, who was roundly hated as Education secretary, who campaigned and championed for leave and has shied away completely from Brexit since the vote. He's a complete coward who weasels away offering soundbytes but no actual plan for what he preaches.
