Personally I'd like to know who the liberal elite in London are supposed to be. In the minds of some Leavers the city is this duplicitous vision of gleaming spires where everyone is either a West End luvvie or part of the evil Remain Westminster machine. In reality, London is a hugely diverse place with some pretty deprived areas, which voted overwhelmingly to remain despite having the greatest exposure to Europe and immigrant workers.
So just to sum up :
Working & middle class families in London who share their streets and schools with dozens of nationalities and ethnicities = shadowy and underhanded elite clinging to EU membership for their own nefarious purposes. Don't trust them.
Stockbrokers/hedgefund managers from rural England who went to private schools and make millions from the collapse of UK companies & currency = patriotic men of the people who only want the best for all of us. Give them your PIN.
Because the cult of Corbyn are upset she won't support a move to make Corbyn PM.
Oh, and they've cottoned on fully that she's a Yellow Tory too. That's not news, she is, but they're acting surprised.
Even a temporary one, just to stop a no deal? I must have missed this today.
If so, it will show her up for what she is
She's said the same since it was proposed months ago. It was a mistake to say it then and it's a millstone round her neck now.
She's just a bit crap overall. If you look at her voting record, she's extremely amoral too.
Yes its disgusting.
I knew that was her stance early on but thought there may be something new popped up as its being talked about today - or maybe it was a reaction to Sturgeon saying today that she would take the risk of Corbyn as temp PM to get the extension.
Swinson is backed into a corner here and we will soon see just how much she wants to stop Boris.
Can save you the wait - she doesn't. She'd go into a coalition with the Tories tomorrow if she could get a second referendum attached to a Brexit deal. That's her only red line - she'd agree to any Tory policy 100% of the time as long as it gave her a position of power.
She's a disgrace to centrist politics and it's a massive shame the Lib Dems put her in as leader, but it was due to shallow pool of talent in her party.
Petition to Nob Off....
That's utter twaddle.
Farmers will be vulnerable under a no-deal Brexit - LSE Business Review
The countryside is generally perceived as a quiet and restrained place, and yet it has a long history of rebellion, riots and uprising in response to external pressures and changes. The Rebecca Riots in west and mid-Wales which lasted from 1839 to 1843 have gone down in history as a period where...

I’m interested to hear what working class folk feel they would be better off out of Europe?
We have had Conservative party in power for the majority of the last century. Where do you think most of the employee rights have come from? Minimum holiday requirements, Maternity leave and pay, protection of contract rights, improved health and safety requirement in the work place, increased rights for agency workers. You would have waited a long time for the tories to bring these changes.
These are precisely the type of rules the likes of Rees-Mogg, Johnson would like to take back control of. The United States have no maternity leave, half the holiday entitlement we have, and no free health care.
