This week’s episode appears to be a lesson in the No Deal

3,500 troops on stand by why put a number on this statement? Why not say 78,000 troops go the whole hog because it’s closer to the figure we would need ... use all we have 78,000
Again remoaner scaremongering, there are always at least 3500 troops On readiness / standby in the U.K. for any eventuality since the end of the Second World War.
 
So, while our government essentially prefers ****ing to working, and our opposition seem determined to distract from what they should be doing, the EU has actually got on with no Brexit planning, this published today:

■ Flights from the UK into and overflying the EU to be allowed for 12 months to ensure "basic connectivity"[45% of the flights are operated by European carriers]
■ Hauliers to carry freight by road into the EU for a nine-month period without having to apply for permits [the contents of the lorries of course still need to be inspected, this is just about truck licenses]
■ UK financial services regulations - in a limited number of areas such as derivatives trading - to be recognised as equivalent to the EU's for one or two years [a couple of UK clearing houses have cornered the market in administering some of these complex ‘products’ This gives EU banks some time to set up alternative arrangements]
The commission has also urged its 27 remaining member states to take a "generous" approach to the residency rights of UK citizens in the EU following a no-deal Brexit, "provided that this approach is reciprocated by the UK".
The Commission says these measures should not compare with EU membership, or the transition period on offer in the Withdrawal Agreement - which the UK Parliament has yet to vote on.


So the EU is actually doing stuff to look after it’s interests rather than promising to send companies an email and talking about how many troops are on standby.
 
Every so often the 'Cuddly Corbyn' mask slips and reveals the nasty c*nt it hides, he is loathed by the majority of his Parliamentary Party who have to toe the line since the last election otherwise his Momentum Rottweilers are set loose, nice way to run a party, reminds me of somewhere behind the old iron curtain...

Again you must not say this otherwise Comrade Jezzbollah’s spokesman Comrade le petit sock will add your name to his little blue and yellow book for execution upon the successful revolution he is organising from his enclave in the city of (NO RIOTING AT ALL) Paris, I’m sure one of his fellow against on here will be reporting you forthwith as apparently he doesn’t read our replies or posts.
 
Looks like he said 'stupid People' to me but whatever I ****ing hate the lot of them and fully agree with Margaret Beckett in the video. Bunch of ****ing school children, squabbling over **** all whilst Brexit issues rapidly **** up the country. Do away with the whole self-serving lot of em.
 
Only in the UK can it be that a name calling thing can make the main headline and what’s more people react to that

Corbyn got caught so what?
I would deny it then do it again anyway

Hope it escalates to the point where they address each other as the right honourable **** ...

This is the hypocrisy of England that everyone is government is pretending anyway

The HoC is a pathetic history lesson
 
12.55: Jeremy wasn’t at PMQs.You can’t prove he was
13.45: That isn’t his face
14.15: Ok that is his face
14.18: He was present but he doesn’t think he was involved
15.00: This is perfectly reasonable, as we’ve said all along
16.00: The media is biased
 
I must be missing something. I'm obviously not nearly as 'woke' as some of the right-on contributors on here (and Piers Morgan). Is 'stupid woman' really something to get outraged over? I don't get it.

Still, anything to distract attention from this evil, inept, shameless shambles of a government, eh?

Its only because it's Comrade Corbyn your pin up lefty. If it had been a Tory you would have been kicking off.
Once again Comedy Corbyn blows it. Just like his Jewish problem.

I wouldn't have been kicking off at all. As I said, I don't see it as that big a deal whoever might say it. As it turns out, he did say 'people' (I've seen the re-dubbed version on CH4 news). The Tories were pathetic with their faux outrage. Get on with your jobs you ****ing useless bunch of ****s.

Channel 4 have dubbed "people" onto it? That's one way of getting Jezza off the hook.
