You didn’t get the memo, it’s all Corbyn’s fault...

Thank you for stating the obvious. So far the government has said it won’t ask to extend Article 50, but a parliamentary vote could change that.

There’s no desire to extend the deadline from the Government at the moment, but that could change because there’s not parliamentary sessions to pass all the relevant legislation before the 29th March. Besides, Labour and other opposition and a few Tory Remainers like Ken Clarke are in favour of...

The MPs would’ve voted on the amendments separately to the main body of legislation. There was a vote on an amendment for the UK to have the right to unilaterally withdraw from the backstop in Northern Ireland — it lost 600 to 24.

You don’t understand. Legally speaking, the UK leaves the EU with or without a deal on the 29th March. That’s what the legislation says. The implications of May Deal being rejected is clear, if nothing is agreed and ratified by Parliament before the 29/3/19, we leave without a deal. The...

Spurs might be sniffing around too. They need to back Potchettino or risk losing him to Man U. Kane is also injured for 2 months and they need a goal scorer if they are to keep up with the top two. Personally, that’s probably a better fit for Wilson than Chelsea as I don’t trust them to play...

Looking at our league position, it's an unfair characterisation to say recruitment has been bad. For me, it's been quite good. It's fair to say Brown and Ogogo haven't quite gone as well as planned, but with both of them recovering from knee ligament injuries, there was always a risk. With...

Let's not forget the 118 rebels from the Conservative party and the 10 DUP MPs who voted against the deal. The deal isn't an acceptable one to Parliament and that's why there was opposition across the political spectrum. The amendments were moved (1 Tory, PC and SNP as well as the Labour one) so...

Not necessarily, the legal default at this moment is a no deal Brexit and with no Parliamentary majority for an alternative, it could push Tory MPs to do the unthinkable. Parliament is completely paralysed and something needs to budge.

Funnily enough, that is the strategy of the Labour to force an election...

Wouldn't be a very good mugging if you still had your wallet and keys!

For what it's worth, Labour had led the Conservatives on economic management in 2010, in the middle of the recession. Polls on leadership and the economy usually favours the incumbent PM and party -- but a party typically doesn't win power if it trails on both of those measures.

For starts, the SNP, LD, Greens and PC have all said for talks to be 'constructive', the PM needs to rule out the possibility of a no-deal Brexit and seriously entertain the prospect of a People's Vote. Labour's position on this is the same minus the People's Vote part, which Corbyn will not...

Frankly, had she shown a willingness to cooperate with others, we wouldn't even be in a position where her deal was rejected by 230 votes. She really should have resigned for this monumental cock-up. Theresa May is in no position to lecture anyone on the national interest and is guilty as anyone...

Some polls are saying very different things with a few polls having Labour ahead by 1-2%, others having them neck and neck with YouGov having the Tories up by 4%. There's some analysis that suggests Labour would gain around 23 seats from the Conservatives but lose 4 to the SNP in Scotland and...

Corbyn in Parliament today said the Labour Party will only open dialogue with the Government if the PM announces that she will rule out a no deal Brexit. This is a valid position because this is now the legal alternative after the her deal was defeated yesterday. The SNP, Lib Dems, Plaid Cymru...

PM making an emergency statement at 10 pm... I wonder what it is?

Losing?

From Stalinist to Owen Jones... you’ve gone soft!

I disagree, populism is in the rise and Corbyn was is in line with public opinion on a few issues. Namely on taxation and nationalisation, where the public is generally left wing. Labour’s strategy in 2015 was totally flawed because it basically offered diluted Toryism and was debating on Tory...
