This is not the thread for cheap jokes.( go on the joke threads). .you complain about the left wing clique when it suits you... but you do just the same which is why WY's premise is incorrect..... we give it because you do...You cannot expect to intersperse so called serious debate with this little jibes
The EU withdrawal Bill cleared the commons tonight. The government successfully defeated all of the amendments designed to weaken its negotiating position.
What has the bill got to do with how the country negotiates? What we have seen is the government bring forward amendments to avoid defeat. In PMQs today it was said that further amendments will be made by the government in the Lords. Normal procedure to get something into law, but nothing to do with the negotiations.
You obviously did not take enough notice. One of those failed amendments was to tie the UK to continued membership of the single market and custom union. This would have seriously affected the UK's negotiating position.
Just what has been agreed over NI? It looks as if part of the UK and NI will stay in the customs union. If your paymasters the DUP wish to continue with the current arrangement then you will do as they say.
It is been well explained that N.I. will not have a different trade agreement compared with the rest of the UK. The DUP are the elected representatives of N.I. and quite rightly are looking after the interests of their constituents. This is called democracy.
So as NI is going to stay in the customs union, your argument is that the rest of the UK must be also. I agree, but would suggest that buying votes is not democratic. A proper coalition is very different to a supply agreement.
Is there a reason why one part of the UK. cannot have a different trade agreement to the rest of the country ? Hong Kong has different trade agreements to the rest of China.
No part of the UK wants to allow an extra layer of administration whilst trading with the rest of it, makes sense really.
Another 'project fear' gem bites the dust. Brexit is not a 'catastrophe' for the City of London, says French finance chief
Shades of Grey... It will work itself out as a soft brexit.. And the country will be poorer for a decade most likely.. And we have been since the pound fell on Brexit day... Sent from my G3121 using Tapatalk
Is that the end of the silly 'project fear' predictions, have they now all been consigned to the dustbin?
You call it project fear. We will still be worse off in many many ways... Just because almost half the population voted differently you and your sort really don't have to disparage their views. Sent from my G3121 using Tapatalk
We will not have the hard brexit you want and thank fully the vast majority of politicians and heads of industry clearly know it would be at best unworkable and at worst disastrous for our economy for a decade or more Sent from my G3121 using Tapatalk
It is quite legitimate to show the dodgy information put out by the remain side has proved to be unfounded so far, this puts extreme doubts about the validity of ongoing negative comments, most based purely on guesswork.
It's a sign of insecurity Yorkie. Always in lack of real information or arguments they resort to soundbites such as 'project fear' etc. etc. As if the vision of a future Britain crawling with refugees, or Turkish immigrants, was not a 'project fear', just as is the hyping up of the 'fear of the dominance of Germany' - all of it without evidence or figures to back it up. The hysteria about Momentum is also nothing more than 'project fear' but of course they don't call it that.
The Brexiteers comfort blanket, 'Project Fear'. Cameron said he'd invoke Article 50 the day after the referendum results. Instead he resigned like a coward. Those predictions were based on that, and it didn't happen. I know you're a bit slow but you know that's the case. 'Project Lies' from the Brexit camp is still going full flow though. £350M for the NHS? All funding matched that the EU used to pay? All rights set in stone? Tory lies, as usual.
The most vocal complaints about the infiltration of Momentum are coming from the rank and file Labour Party members who know this insidious group are targeting the moderate majority in the party. As a Conservative I am just a bystander watching this party dominated by the far left and becoming unelectable.
