Even by our standards that was remarkably unproductive. ... ... ... **** hell. Can we just cancel Brexit? Explain to Brussels the country had had a lot to drink and fell for the nasty whiles of some people looking to benefit, and please sir don't bend us over the table too hard? Because the entire thing is lunacy. There was another leaked impact earlier. It shows 11% losses in a best case scenario trade deal for the North East alone. This is madness. Oh blah blah civil service talking us down it'll be fine silly lefties Labour did this I'll be alright Jack nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last ten seconds is very funny. I suppose, being much more charitable than she deserves, being 'shadow rail minister' she might be talking a bit beyond her briefing level (though doubtless she was desperate to get on TV, so hardly worth wasting much sympathy on her). I've no idea what his excuse is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Political waffling at its worst. I wish it would get called out more often Don't give them a platform if they’re not prepared to answer or if they’re instructed to be non-committal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Not just referencing those two car crash interviewees, both main parties have been absolutely disgraceful through this whole sorry episode. This country has a shocking lack of leadership. There can only be two possible reasons for a politician not to be able to give a comprehensible simple answer to a question. He either doesn't know what he's doing, or he doesn't want us to know what he's doing. Actually, there's a third. He doesn't want us to know that he doesn't know what he's doing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Private Eye letters page\] I expect some of our younger readers may not get it. So at the cost of tediously explaining a joke: Andrew Neil, right wing heavy, ex-Murdoch employee, was once laughably photographed in a nightclub with one Pamella Bordes, acting like a hip dude a third his age, and Private Eye ran this picture in every edition for several years thereafter. With captions that pretended not to reference the original photo, thereby extending the joke. Andrew Neil. What an arse. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Quote Impact studies released to MPs by the Government reveal the North East of England and West Midlands will sustain the biggest hit to economic growth from Brexit. London will take the least damage, according to the controversial forecasts which ministers were forced to release after they were leaked to the media and amid pressure from Labour and pro-EU Tories. MPs have been reading the documents, which were prepared by the Department for Exiting the EU, under controlled conditions, but the figures have been leaked. Meanwhile, Sky News also obtained official estimates of the potential impact of non-tariff barriers - such as extra red tape, customs checks and rules of origin regulations - on various economic sectors. The motor industry faces cost increases of between 5% and 13%, while the retail and wholesale industry could see costs rise by between 7% and 20%.

ml1dch Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 It doesn't really matter what the reports say though does it? People chose not to listen before, they're not going to listen to the same stuff again with a new date on it. And when it does go wrong it'll just be somebody else's fault. A nice, easy repercussion-free way of doing things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 If it is going to be as bad as described or predicted after Brexit and some people are almost violently opposed to the whole idea. Add to that that most people by almost all the impact studies you will be a lot worse of in monetary and working rights for example. Are you all just going to sit there and take it, you could move as to stay would be madness ? In the face of the predictions some of the remainders should be packing already ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
