No more ironic than people using it to justify brexit. Remember, the EU were going to crumble as we held all the cards as corporate global dominant companies would insist that the EU bow to us as they want to sell cars here. Never happened did it. Not only that the situation we now find...

They’re mental. I have it on good authority that he’s a premier league quality manager ;)

Starmer has reiterated this morning when posed with the question following the comments from Vauxhalls owners that there’s no going back into the EU but they will be looking to renegotiate elements of the Brexit deal. He didn’t specify what, when, how or where mind. Just said that Boris’ oven...

The thing is people as you point out have a choice, which isn’t a bad thing for the population. If their choices mean we have to bring in foreign workers to fill the gaps that’s only a negative if you want it to be.

The government (under May) did throw some grants to car manufacturers to keep them in the UK post brexit. Seem to recall Nissan getting a big grant and Luton being secured based on paint facilities. Obviously that was a different time and we were still in the we hold all the card because of...

We’ll never be as productive as we could be simply because it’s a moving target. It’s an unachievable goal. So it’s a misnomer. You’re adding your own context. I never once inferred that people would rather not work, I was talking in specifics of furlough when I said no one wanted to do it. The...

Yeah but he said it in a posh accent and the audience laughed at the holocaust so…

The government has regularly trotted out the line that scrapping non dom status would stall investment in the UK. Presumably more than it is already stalling despite the availability of non dom status. Thing is the government doesn’t have any figures for how much investment would be lost and...

Where are they going to go for starters? The world is not awash with countries offering non dom status. In fact it seems to be a hangover from colonialism. The handful of countries that do offer non dom status seem to be former British colonies.

It’s such a negative on the UK economy it’s never going to go away.

Who knows what that’s supposed to mean, he went from being an advocate of being a Norway to Brexit must be the hardest of Brexits in less than a 24hour period. I literally went to bed with him saying he’d love it if we could be like Norway and woke up to the leave result and Farage coining the...

Apparently Ferage has admitted that brexit has failed. Anyone heard the comments? Know the context?

Someone once said Braverman is what happens when you feed Priti Patel after midnight.

Braverman was just as bad. Basically trashed her own policies.

He went further in his actual speech but can’t find a clip to hand. Gerrymandering was the exact word he used in his speech By the way, he supported the bill when it went through parliament. It was also in the Tory manifesto in 2019 that he not only was part off he forwarded the motion in...

Rees Mogg admitting that voter ID was an attempt at voter suppression was a highlight. Admitting it backfired and stopped older people from voting, a demographic more likely to vote Tory. Blamed the current government despite the fact it was the Boris government he was in that introduced it.

Sorry Steve, I don’t buy it. It sounds like something straight out of Braverman playbook, teach people to pick fruit and veg. You’d have to force most British people by gunpoint to pick fruit and veg in this country. It’s nothing to do with training, farms are mechanised a lot in the UK, the...
