My fear is we end up down the American road. Have people seen how they run their campaigns (at all levels)? The TV/multi media ads literally libelling each other and not caring as they know the election will be done and the supposed organizations making the libellous claims wound up before...

What - another "blizzard of lies"?

Tax gap stands at around 35bn per year. Avoidance needs addressing as well over 6bn a year

not true. Some remainers couldn't bring themselves to vote elsewhere the same as some Leavers couldn't bring themselves to vote Tory.

fair enough. Good to see brainwashing & stupidity is only a one-way street.

Congratulations. Exactly the same attitude as Remainers took to Brexiteers and then you act surprised when the people you look down on bite back. When their Leave vote wasn't respected they followed it up with a 2nd vote to re-emphasis their wishes. So for your first post well done on it being...

That man is just never going to disappear.

doubtful. Little chance of getting current manifesto through a PR-elected Parliament. Even when they were getting hammered by Thatcher & co they didn't fancy PR. Still a bad taste for many from the Lib Dem/Tory coalition and one thing PR tends to produce is coalition govts.

Don't think either side would want a referendum before the Brexit process is clearer. SNP have same level of support as at the last referendum when they said it was a once in a generational thing.

Not sure it's so simple for Labour just to purge so-called extreme elements. Momentum is very well organised and entrenched within the Labour machinery. Through this they have a larger % of PLP than they did before.

so you're judging the whole process as a purely economic one?

Not sure this is true. Define true benefit? We will probably have 3 years of a Brexit Britain (after this 2 year leave period) before the next election to gauge its effects. One nation politics will define the next GE as much as Brexit outcomes.

Answer will remain the same. Is there a mandate for Indyref2 when less than 50% voted for SNP who ran mainly on this issue? Sturgeon admitted that not all SNP voters would necessarily support independence but were EU remainers. Issue would be far more difficult in that would remain-EU sentiment...

For those suggesting yesterday is the beginning of Scottish independence worth noting the SNP share of the vote was still the same % as that voted to leave in the 2014 referendum - 45%.

Reshuffle inevitable as there will need to Cabinet/ministerial representation for these "new" Northern seats. Scottish independence isn't black and white. An assumption that Scotland can remain in EU is up for debate. Also the practicalities of how free trade and movement could happen in...

by definition will it have to be a compromise candidate?

This is where the disconnect between members and voters has been highlighted. Does Corbyn stay around to try and ensure his successor will follow his path? How damaging will the fight for the future direction of the Labour Party be?

Is this Labour's version of the tory's scare stories about Corbynite policies?

Chalk that one up to farage

Brexit party seems to have saved Ian lavery.
