sometimes common sense and practicality have to take precedence over "political principle". Things like this example of medical research are a good example where it really does benefit both sides. It's like this new "conflict" the EU is having between data protection/privacy and the abuse of...

Whilst div title still on the table thought they'd keep him. Snyder needs some kind of boost.

Not a huge surprise -just timing a bit earlier than was anticipated

For sure Sturgeon will use it but Scotland was heavily Remain and polls indicate that Brexit could be a factor in how people could vote in a new Leave referendum. Again it comes down to how much concrete information on the consequences of a Leave vote voters would have - EU membership, hard...

Comes down to whether Brexit will judged solely on trade. How will they judge the immigration part - can't just be on numbers? Quantity vs quality? Cost to the economy? How do they tangibly measure the "success or failure" of sovereignty? Does it ultimately cause Scotland to leave the Union...

EU going to claim a win in order to make sure it clears EU parliaments and Boris the same for his Parliament etc.

Media here reporting it as close alignment but no longer shackled by Brussels bureaucracy and authoritarianism :) seems ironic due to the paperwork about to be created in order to trade.

I know they are all backups but the run tackling is embarrassing,verging on the comical

EU won't allow that sort of political interference in another country's internal affairs. Would cause huge damage to the relationship with the rest of UK. Likes of Hungary and Poland would block that level of interference in domestic affairs.

Can't help thinking Xmas isn't going to be improved much by a spanking defeat against the Saints today :)

The Volt party. Sadly their spokesman's opening statement was what people will miss most was for British holidaymakers to be able to take their dogs with them on holidays to EU countries.

Think it's almost inevitable in time. Plus UK position will change from UK govt to UK govt. Also going to be a period where EU is watching UK to see how it behaves before the hackles go down and things smooth out. Proviso will always remain that they don't want to create a situation where...

Farage seems happy enough. Pyrrhic victory springs to mind

Whilst you have a system where money can basically buy all sorts of positions ( and the huge amount of money paid to and used by lobbyists ) you have a system open to abuse and corruption. You mentioned NRA - around 75 million to Trump and Republican campaigns 2020 alone.

Let's face it once he's gone the next few years are going to see a mountain of information from the inside being revealed about his Presidency.

Clinton was another one. The campaign donor, his drug dealing "brother" and some terrorists.

The political ones are bad enough but those Blackwater security personnel pardoned for massacring civilians - words fail me

Ever been a more cynical and obvious abuse of the Presidential pardon than what has happened over last few days? God knows who is next.
