    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Guessing he thought deep down it wouldn’t get through without heavy amends/further delays. Not sure I quite agree with his strategy ie if unsuccessful tonight, I’d separate out the election and WAB votes (before 8 Nov)....revised WAB timetable probably wouldn’t get through anyway but at least he...

    surprised they didn’t try to squeeze a few more yards up the pitch. They had time for one more effort pre field goal

    They want the students to be able to vote more easily ie before they head home for Xmas (apparently). Not sure I get it to be honest

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Presume it’s on the basis that if the remain parties win enough seats they will ensure ‘no deal’ doesn’t happen. Facts appear to be.... Tories want Brexit done pre election so they could say they delivered and remove risk of Brexit party. Won’t happen now. Best alternative is to accept Lib...

    Boxing Thread

    What a fight ! Both warriors. Taylor looked in real trouble after 5 rounds, just couldn’t pin Prograis down, then bullied him for the next 4-5, then Prograis showed real heart in the last couple when he’d looked done before (saying that Taylor’s right eye, that I think was initially damaged by a...

    Peak Insanity Level Reached?

    Not surprised. All of the west coast is ultra trans. Can’t even discuss/debate it properly. I was talking to someone about concerns of pre pubescent children making the decision (concern being that adults could coerce)...let’s just say the discussion didn’t end well and I left the bar Ps added...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Fair play Clint ! Bizarrely I’m almost the opposite. If a second referendum could be held in short order (next month), I’d accept it just to get out of this parliamentary purgatory ! Two tier - in/out and then current deal (as it stands) or no deal. I think similar tight result for first tier...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Sorry, probably wasn’t clear. My point was just paying into the EU full stop. I agree we need to pay what we’ve committed to. Our proportion will increase though, from memory an element is based on GDP so if we avoid recession and as Germany have entered recession ours will increase again (as it...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I’ve never supported a ‘WTO Brexit’ Clint (for the fact that I think we need at least 2-3 years to get trade agreements lined up). There is no reason why a sensible free trade agreement can’t be reached (the issue will be ‘level playing field’ which is naughty really as I’m not sure if that’s an...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I wasn’t going to get into this all (again) but couldn’t stay silent. Firstly, I sometimes wish I hadn’t bothered...the continued delay has damaged the country more than necessary. If I’d have known what a mess the MPs would make of it, I may well have voted the other way. In terms of gains, it...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Starmer’s got to keep the anti no deal rhetoric going though Tony. I agree that Letwin probably had good intentions with the amendment (which I have said previously) ie protecting from MPs (ie ERG) voting in favour on Saturday and then not voting through the legislation but there is a deal on...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Agree SBD...not a great move and as someone said earlier will be used by government (to gain sympathy) As speaker, and supposedly impartial, he should be keeping his opinion neutral in public (which he hasn’t and is my main issue with him).

    Bakayoko

    Think some of the comments are a bit harsh. There’s something in him definitely (great goal the other week and when he’s fired up - Walsall at home last year - he’s a handful) but consistency and using his attributes will determine if he can make a good career for himself.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I don’t believe this is the case at all Tony (it’s also in the hands of the house whether it gets through or not) Your earlier post is correct though, the government will go through the legislation voting route so it doesn’t make a major difference whether Bercow allowed a vote today or not (he...
