You're missing the point. Should Labour, and for that matter every other party, set policy purely based on winning an election or should they based it on what the party members believe in and want the party to stand for? If those two things don't cross over should one be abandoned in favour of...

To be fair can't see anything that says leave with no deal either.

I hoped the argument would be over and now Johnson has a huge majority he would just get on with it but it still seems to be dominating the news so I fear we've got many more months / years arguing over it yet. Isn't the percentage who voted for remain and / or 2nd ref parties greater than the...

It's meaningless and just for show. If it comes down to the wire he can repeal this just as quickly as he can introduce it. Playing to the gallery.

Seems the public finances forecast that was due to be published before the election but was held back shows an additional £18.3bn in borrowing being needed this financial year. That increases borrowing for the year from £29.3bn to £47.6bn. Watchdog reveals £18bn hole in Boris Johnson’s UK budget

Jones has been with the JSBs loads while he was out injured so I would guess its more his personality than him not wanting to be there.

Are you referring to Johnson there?

How does this get signed off without someone pointing out the incredibly obvious problem with it?

But the ideology is what shapes the policy. Unless you're trying to claim there is no difference between a Corbyn style Labour and and Blair style Labour. Moving from a Blair offering to a Corbyn offering isn't pushing around the edges in the direction you want, it's practically a 180. So there...

Expect those who wanted to 'take back control' and were outraged at the EU having unelected officials will be up in arms at this. Sure its in no way linked to her overseeing the investigation into the £100K Arcuri was given which cleared Johnson of any wrongdoing.

Could be a case that the idea is out there but the specifics are off. You'd have to think if it is being discussed in any meaningful way Wasps have to be a candidate given they're already shown they are willing to move halfway across the country. You could move them again with little resistance.

At one point I hoped we might see the more centrist Conservative and Labour MPs move across to the Lib Dems and end up with 3 roughly equal parties. Seems there was too many egos involved for that to happen. Suspect if they had done that more might have followed, was always a tough sell to get...

Boris Johnson could ditch promise to guarantee workers' rights and environmental protections after Brexit, No 10 suggests

Don't worry, we've got a Conservative West Midlands mayor. Sure everyone remembers him promising to end homelessness as soon as he was elected, wonder if he'll be mentioning that in his campaign literature for the May elections?

Anyway lets get back to the Tories after yet another thread has become Grendel bashing Labour and Corbyn. Over the course of the parliament you'd hold them up against their election promises. Not sure I have much confidence there given what's happened following the last couple of elections...

None at all, no reason why UKIP can't become a party that favours unlimited immigration or the Brexit Party support remain. Personally I like to have a choice and going back to 'New Labour' and that choice being between a blue Tory and a red Tory doesn't exactly inspire. That raises the issue...

Odd rumour via some Exeter fans at work. Apparently the club currently top, Newcastle, is the club they want in the Premiership before they shut off promotion and relegation. That presents the problem that one of Wasps or Leicester seem likely candidates for relegation. Seems both clubs have...

Something needs to happen, broadband provision in this country is appalling. Rare that a week passes at work where I'm not dealing with issues caused by poor broadband for a company reliant on it.

Glasgow and Cardiff airports were nationalised weren't they? And the TSA in America.

Those hangbags aren't going to pay for themselves.
