    Greta Thunberg / Climate Change Summit

    I’m literally torn on ER. I know that there needs to be urgent action on climate change (impossible to say how urgent) and am struggling to argue against methods to bring it to the country/parliaments attention....but I think two weeks blocking up London will garner as much negative reaction as...

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

    certainly not any of that chlorinated stuff from the US (that everyone probably eats without quibble if I’m America) ;)

    Spot on. That’s my recollection as well. That’s why i always put (as it was) next to customs union

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

    Thought they said that they would leave the customs union and single market but sought to retain as much of the benefits as possible (ie be in a new customs union) might be wrong but think that’s accurate Ps just found this. See single market membership section. Like their current policy, not...

    Film Thread 2019

    Loved The Joker. It’s not a typical Batman film so if people expect that they will be disappointed. Ultimately it’s about a loners struggles with mental illness. V dark. Great performance by Phoenix

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

    It’s a fair argument however both main parties also campaigned on leaving single market and customs union (as it was). A deal was then proposed by May which labour rejected even though it wasn’t contradictory to what they campaigned. I agree that most people would want a deal though. ps Lib...

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

    Spin the bottle in my youth wasn’t used to decide such trivial matters Tony !! ;) Look, this all Johnsons pretence to keep the pressure on the EU to do a deal. Otherwise as I’ve said (probably 100 times before) there’s little incentive for the EU, it will always be extend and dictate the length...

    Hopefully just a blip and too many off days. Let’s see what the reactions like next week. Not sure Hyam/McFadz is the partnership...looked a little iffy against Donnie as well.

    Agreed, it has been wasted, I can’t believe Hammond/May slowed no deal planning for starters....again, crazy !

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

    I’m reassured, thank you Fernando ; ) Sorry, you are correct, I should’ve just said length, however, what’s to say the EU won’t turn around and say, for example...we’ll give you an extension but you need to have a second referendum ?! Point remains the same though, we pay around £1bn in the pot...

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

    Some may beg to differ Fernando ! I meant Johnson was positioning it as ‘lets get something done now or else’ - whether people believe he would proceed with no deal or not is another question....MPs obviously believed him....unless they are just trying to stop Brexit altogether - I wouldn’t...

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

    Ps just heard that a Scottish court (I think) has released that the letters requesting an extension have already been prepared and will be released on 19th in any event I mean FFS, I give up. At least see if he gets anywhere before removing any semblance of leverage (to get deal done...not...

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

    Is that correct though Shmmeee ? Mays deal been rejected three times and whilst some labour MPs have indicated they would now support, I’m not sure it would get through To be fair I also think a lot of people are forgetting how the EU negotiators commented on the WA. A reminder (click link -...

    I’m talking about factory/premises and spot checks, not border checks. Which is why I was saying there would be a high risk (smuggling) area near border

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

    The letter states he hopes ‘the proposals form the basis for rapid negotiations’ I agree that time is ridiculously tight and there is no way it will get done without an EU ‘technical extension’ I respectfully disagree with yourself and shmmmeee regarding the requirement for a hard border...

    The proposal was supposed to reopen negotiations...not necessary expected to be accepted without alteration. Let’s see
