Current Affairs EU In or Out

I think he will, he knows that there are certain seats that no Tory could ever win, but by standing back and allowing the Tory vote to be added to a Labour Brexit split constituency, that’s one less labour MP. Mind you, Boris may rather just do it on his own.....interesting for sure....

Farage was slagging him off yesterday, saying he expects him to "betray" the country by getting the May deal re-opened with some amendments to the backstop. He was certainly bigging up competing for Tory seats and not just Labour et al. Splitting the Tory vote in some of these southern constituents could open the door to the Libdems.

Having a Brexit fuelled election could spring a lot of surprises mate.

It is no doubt what the plan is, and it is the Bannon playbook (which makes Boris' denial of having anything to do with him even more of a lie than it was at the time) - though they must have a really low opinion of the electorate if they honestly expect them to believe that a government which has been in power for nine years, led by a man who went to a school that defines the British Establishment, who went to the University that defines the British establishment, who had two establishment wives and who now has an entirely establishment bit on the side, and which will have 90% of the press establishment backing it, is in fact not part of the establishment.

Trump could (just) do it because he following Obama and because of who Hilary was; Boris could well have far more of a problem with Corbyn.

Johnson nearing the PollTax critique... Those water cannons, oh they sold them...

It could well do so. Farage is certainly flexing his muscles and trying to put pressure on Boris....

Subject to change in Govt policy. Really?

Fairly sure it said that. Working in the NHS she was probably among the first to apply, as it was opened to NHS employees as part of the pilot. It's possible the language has changed now, I don't know.

What, by holding fake rallies?

Those politicians work too hard, summer recess followed by this enforced break. They shouldn't have been allowed anytime off from parliament until they had sorted Brexit, it would have been fixed by Christmas 2016 that way.

I read somewhere that they tested the system on 30,000 guinea pigs (no offense to the missus) before opening it up to the general public in April. Maybe she was one of these.

Being reported that Ruth Davidson is set to resign from the Conservative Party, not confirmed as of yet. Oh dear.

Mainly Tories, unfair to blame other parties (some of which asked for Summer recess to be postponed) - May stalling in an attempt to push through her agenda, and being too weak to pursue ordinary legislation.

 

[Charlie Sweet]

According to the BBC Ruth Davidson is said to be coming out against Boris.

This is going to be interesting.

Refusing interviews all day, no?

 

[Barnfred 55]

The U.K. have been clear about EU citizens in the U.K., the EU are a little less clear about U.K. citizens within the EU....

Yeah. I think it's been left up to each individual country, but the remit that went out from the EU parliament was that it should basically reciprocate what we're doing. I've not heard that anybody so far has refused to do that, but I think there are still some that haven't made any announcement yet. Which must be hard on those ex pats involved.

Made a statement earlier that she will make a statement tomorrow.

Announcement tomorrow... The direction the Conservative Party is traveling, probably best to go before she is pushed...

People are already putting it about this is because she is a mother, rather than because she is acting out of principle.
