Brexit Latest: MPs drops plan to put second referendum to Commons vote.

Yes I read that. Looks like the notion of a second referendum can be put to bed. Well for now at least...

 

You should have sen Chukka's face. At least we won't have to listen to Vince cable go on about it!
I am also disgusted at what the AirBus boss said in Davos regarding it "being easy to set up factories somewhere else". His second in command has basically said the company was pressured into say this! What a bunch of nasty twats. Do they not realise how it makes people feel? As Farage said last night. The more they do this the more the British will stick their fingers up at them.

 

For now. They've judged that there's not enough parliamentary support at the moment, but if nothing else unblocks the process it may re-surface.

Cue some more bluster from Ellers.

 

Don't bring into your remoaner bad news. I have some more coming late.

 

Disgusting

 

Blimey, the government just gets worse and worse. I agree disgusting, they should be removed from power immediately.

 

Naive Leo Varadkar has finally clocked that the EU has used Ireland to punish Britain

Hammond cancelled a meeting with him in Davos leaving him out in the cold. I did say he was playing a dangerous game.

 

Agree but 2 things you should ask first...Was it sanctioned by TM or some else? Who would do a better job than the Tories?

 

Whoever sanctioned it should be sacked straight away. Why oh why are we putting up with this inept government. With a stronger leader then Labour would do a better job. The bloody green party would!!

 

So they couldn't get Commissar Corbyn's support? good old Jezza!

 

Or stubborn

Born of the stub

 

Sorry Bob I can agree with some of what you say but not all.
Agree the government is a nightmare at the moment.
Even if Labour had a better leader the party is still full of idiots like Abbott
The Green party under that awful Caroline Lucas would be a disaster.

The way forward will be for May to step down at some point and for someone else to come in. However, that's where things get hard as the Tories are split and we end up with what we do now?

 

The Tories are truly split, Labour is also split. Someone must be held to account for this bare faced untruth.

 

The most devious, shameless, but ultimately inept government in living memory - just about anyone would do a better job.

 

Then tell us Stroller?

 

Talking of inept.

only 39 to go.

 

Did the government tell Airbus to lie about its post no deal Brexit intentions? Not as far as I can see, it just asked them to make them public. It’s information that helps focus the mind.

Of course, in order to keep a few red faced middle aged men within relatively safe blood pressure range, the government should have said ‘don’t in any circumstances tell anyone that 14,000 jobs are at risk, especially those 14,000 workers; we’ll have a good time in a couple of years telling people that we did know this was likely to happen, but decided it would be in their best interests if we didn’t tell them’.

Airbus is a European company which isn’t even listed on the UK stock market. Just like Dyson they are attempting to future proof themselves. But unlike Dyson they didn’t tell everyone to vote leave and hope for the best, then say ‘bye, bye suckers’.
