The sad thing is, it's actually happening in a lot of trades. Not all of us sit on our arse in front of a computer.

You may mock but that to me just shows the pure ignorance of a brexiteer. Quite disturbing really when it will effect the whole of the building trade
 
In what way are the Eastern European states moving towards Russia?

Here's an example in the last day.

https://www.voanews.com/a/pompeo-visits-hungary-to-raise-concerns-about-china-russia/4781472.html

Eastern EU member states are getting frustrated with Brussels telling them that they have to take their quota of Middle Eastern and African migrants. Meanwhile Putin is taking a charm offensive to these ex Soviet Bloc countries. It could become an issue.
 
I see that Ian blackford has called May a liar. You're not allowed to call someone a liar in parliment. You can lie but not accuse someone of it.
 
Tommy Robinson has made his own documentary with lots of photos of himself when young!
Exciting.
But he forgot this one.
He looks very tired in it as you can see, which is probably why he hasn’t cleared up the icing sugar or flour he spilt on the worktop earlier. Messy boy

Grant Shapps has just said that he thinks May is running down clock to leave her deal or no deal. He went on to say that he doesn't think she would want a no deal however if her deal is not supported then she may go down that route. Interestingly, he confirmed what that reporter said last night regarding secondary legislation. He said he has never seen so much planning going on behind the scenes for a no deal. Every day he said he saw dozens upon dozens of preparation documents.
 
They said she was closer to accepting staying in the Customs Union a couple of hours ago. She just agrees with whatever the person she is talking to thinks, goes away and does nothing, in the hope that Santa Claus or the Tooth Fairy will turn up with an answer.

The EU says it won't relent on an indefinite backstop to prevent a hard border. Yet in the event of a no deal, the EU will be obliged to instate a hard border anyway, in addition to the damage to jobs and economies on the Continent.

In this situation, if you were May, wouldn't you call their bluff?

Yep there needs to be lots of planning. Stock piling of medicines etc what a sad state we will find ourselves in. Best get myself a warehouse for the plastering materials

He was wrong to say that. it's not allowed and shows him for what he is. People can knock May but she is miles infront of some of those MP's regarding etiquette.
