NurembergVillan Posted September 3, 2019 Moderator Share Posted September 3, 2019 Justine Greening has announced she's not going to stand at the next election, and Hammond says he'll sue the Government if he's deselected. Moderate Tories fighting against the leadership... Not a good look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowychap Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) From Court of Session: Government told court that the review was 'academic and premature' but there is an email in documentation (apparently appended to an affidavit in the Miller case to be heard on Thursday) from Nikki da Costa showing that they were discussing the precise timing of the prorogation on August 15th.

He's wealthy so if he wants access to justice he can afford it...unlike the people who've been denied this as a result of cuts he gleefully implemented. https://www.theguardian.com/law/2018/dec/28/what-it-takes-for-the-tories-callous-legal-aid-cuts-to-hit-home Quote It is certainly true that many people are being deprived of access to justice following the legal aid cuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 I see the Russians are at it again on Facebook Originally run by local activists, these pages - which number 116 in total - are now being coordinated by a well-resourced group which provides the network with funding, training and advanced technical support. In the last seven months, Scientists for EU has spent more than £100,000 on what its founder, Mike Galsworthy, calls "professionalisation".

"The EU" can't make this announcement. Any extension will have to come from the Council, agreeing unanimously, who are currently dispersed between 27 countries. The UK haven't requested one yet either. Unless there's a clear and convincing reason ("Please don't waste this time") that an extension will be met with progress by the UK, there won't be another one.

StefanAVFC Posted September 3, 2019 Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_2016_Brexit_referendum Quote There are ongoing investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 Brexit referendum[1] being undertaken by the UK Electoral Commission, the UK Parliament's Culture Select Committee, and the United States Senate, on alleged Russian interference in the "Brexit" referendum of 23 June 2016.[2] This has raised questions over the legal validity of the referendum.[3] With 61 references. Interesting definition of a myth there. Edited September 3, 2019 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
