C'mon Goldy, you know exactly what Corbyn and labour are doing. Boris is full of ****, everyone is seeing that now. Labour are just giving him the rope, boris will do the rest. Cummings game (cos let's be honest, hes running the **** show) is not quite as sharp as labour's at the moment. Corbyn is playing a blinder despite myself thinking he isnt a great leader for labour.

Well, we'll see Bob. At present, Labour are debating how to go forward. I think the most likely is a GE in November and thus an extension from the EU until January. If Labour leave it later, they'll be rightly accused of obfuscating.

But what I can't see is how Boris deals with this, as he won't want to go to the EU to get the extension. I think he'll do something more than just go along cap in hand but I don't know what
 
That’s a strange comment
Boris could enlighten us all with just a hint of a plan for a deal and also a plan post Brexit

It’s about substance for me

Plus it’s about time that people reconsider exactly how the EU have conducted themselves in every negotiation since 2016

Politics in the UK laid bare for me

This is the UK’s last chance not to follow the example of the USA

I'm assuming the Boris plan is May less backstop. And I assume his people are coming up with a proposal such as restricting the backstop to agricultural goods - I've seen this mooted. But no one knows, because Boris says he won't negotiate in public
 
I currently have Sky on another screen
These Conservatives are simply **** monkeys coming on and saying Labour is scared of a GE.
It will happen ****s when the law is passed that No deal will NOT happen

Few getting added to my list

What else can they say?! Cummings didnt think this far ahead.

Well wish he say that then
You are missing the point again The EU isn’t even negotiating there is just administrative meetings nothing else.

He hasn’t even started according to every newspaper and media in France here.

Sorry if Boris says that voted in by 169 blue cons then any sane person should see that is not representative on a crisis issue like we are currently facing

Brexit is out in the open now and the surge and unity is growing to stop this no deal this should show all of us that Brexit as said by all of us remainders is not really possible

You were lied to

Boris and cummings cull of their own party about sums them up. Let's just leave them too it for a while longer. Its entertaining.

:emoticon-0100-smile I can see the entertainment factor. It's the political equivalent of Boris hanging on the zip wire with a union flag in each hand! But, as I say, a GE is a must now, and the opposition will suffer if it's seen to be playing fast and loose on this
 
Just seen today's news. Whether it is Johnson and Johnson or Milliband and Milliband, it seems being brothers in the cabinet together is a recipe for family tension.

I think it was clear yesterday that Boris is not that clever he was exposed as a complete clown. I don’t think anyone will trust him ever which is a shame as he is a very nice clown and good at it

Corbyn growing stronger by the minute but the dark horses are the Lib Dem’s imo
How and where do you come to the conclusion that comrade Jezzbollah Corbynski is getting stronger by the minute, you’re delusional, Donald Trump is hated worldwide and he is more popular than Corbynski in the U.K., in fact if we had a GE with comrade Jezzbollah Corbynski leading Liebour I think they would seriously crash and burn and maybe never recover.
 
Cos the Tories do **** all for the likes of me and mine
I voted labour right up until Tony.B.Liar and have vowed never to vote for them again especially with Corbynski in charge.
The rich may get richer under Tory rule but in my experience everybody and the country as a whole get a damn sight poorer every time labour are in power.

i thought the tories would love plasterers like you bob
small businesses looking after your staff so no union needed
do you have any cheap foreign labour keeping costs down
lots of cash jobs so you should be great at tax avoidance

I thought Merkel gave Boris 30 days to come up with an alternative to the backstop. We're still in that period, aren't we?

Suppose it's all down to personal experiences. I was as a family much better off under labour as my wife had her DLA (now pip) removed by some ex dentist or or whatever she was as part of the Tory crackdown on the disabled. Despite having a diagnosis of MS and Lupus she was declared fit for work. What ****ing work? The Tories in my eyes are selfish and nasty. Oh and generally a set of ****ers. I suppose if I was well off and money wasnt an issue then I may vote for them but in reality, the poor get poorer, more food banks pop up on a daily basis, the cuts to social services etc etc etc the list is endless. Horrible party.

There are no young plasterers doing courses any more. Local colleges dont even run them due to lack of demand. Kids can make more selling drugs for a day!
I have 4 employees. 1 is Polish and by far the best worker out of the lot and I pay him the most. Never had a day off in the 2 years hes worked for me! 2 of the other lads generally blob every Monday due to weekend binges. Typical young british attitude up and down the country I'm afraid.
As for cash jobs, they started disappearing a few years ago. Everything is done by 'bacs' now.
Only the big billion pound companies get away with not paying the correct tax under this regime. The normal business has to pay full whack! Corruption yet again

Bob are there any opportunities for kids nowadays to take apprenticeships in plastering ? Just asking for the future as my two youngest are in absolutely no way academic and I’m thinking a trade might be the best way forward for them in the future.
I’m also seeing about these new T-Level course that are coming in next year....might be worth looking at I guess.
