I know someone who works in the prison service and the only reason they are a union member is for the exact same reason and I gather that is pretty standard in the prison service. I wouldn’t describe the prison service as left wing either.

Ironically it means my red passport is more British than the blue passport that will replace it. Still I can console myself by drinking Yorkshire tea. That’s as British as they come. Oh wait...

So why didn’t they vote equally for both leave and remain? Both sides had an equal opportunity to “manipulate” them but they voted more for one than the other. That can only possibly mean that there was more than one factor in their decision making.

Don’t be too hard on them, they only want their blue passports back (like they could have had anyway) and bendy bananas back (like they always have been).

I suspect that there’s every chance our children will take us back in. Only with the acceptance of the monetary union known as the Euro. Which ultimately will mean all brexit will achieve is joining the Euro in the most complicated, long winded and damaging way possible.

This isn’t even new news. Gordon Brown suggested this solution last year and he wasn’t the first. It is an interesting suggestion though and does have a recent history of working. The process to overturn of Irish Abortion laws for instance was started by a Citizens Assembly.

The situation we’re in is more akin to needing a car to drive to work in the morning when there isn’t another car anywhere for sale and the person selling this one and only car knows we need it. It doesn’t matter how much we use the “we’ll just walk away bluff” brexit by it’s very nature calls...

Here’s the outcome of the meeting So if not for the reason of them being chairs of two select committees, both intrinsically linked to brexit why these two labour MP’s exactly? What other reason would there be? They’re not exactly random Labour MP’s are they?

No I’m not ignoring the appeal from “Jezza”. It doesn’t mean that if the two respective committees are called to number 10 that the chairs for those committees can pull a sick note from “Jezza”. They have a commitment to their committees and a commitment to their role within their committees...

TBF Tom Newton Dunn is the political editor for the Sun so it’s perhaps a little unfair to expect him to be aware of the positions that the two said MP’s hold and the duty that entails ;)

Hillary Benn is Chair of the brexit select committee and Yvette Cooper is chair of the home affairs select committee. They may be bound by position to be there. Yvette Cooper might not even be there regarding Brexit.

How’s that worked out by the way? Presumably the deal must be done with the threat of no deal?

Ha ha ha ha. Why don’t you tell us all again how the Tories are going to smash Labour in the GE consigning Corbyn to the trash bin.

You need to stop talking like a rabid moron. He hasn’t said what will and won’t happen. He’s said that he won’t talk until no deal is of the table. That’s called setting out the foundations for talks.

I quite liked Boris the TV personality. Problem is it seems that there’s every chance that registered voters in this country stupid enough to vote a TV personality into the top job just as there was in America. Shudder.

I think, although I can’t confirm that that one might be an urban myth. Even so some of the real DUP gaffes and assumptions are no better. Only homosexuals can catch HIV anyone. Five things you need to know about DUP politicians and science

Grotbags gets another moment in the sunshine as the DUP bask in bailing out the government.

Some interesting comments coming up on the BBC live feed Generation X member, Steve King, has been in touch: "For 50 years, all domestic political decisions have been tested first for their affect on the baby boomers. "Without another referendum, the baby boomers will have made their children...

Maybe Teresa May has decided that she doesn’t like her job.

Which always had cross party consensus and therefore the consensus of Parliament. If only she’d listened two years ago instead of drawing red lines and calling I’ll advised elections it could have been so much different and strengthened her position as PM to boot.
