German industrial leaders appear to be suggesting that no deal and out suits them better than more months of uncertainty which is what business in this country is saying.
I thought last week business’s and the CBI said they were against a No Deal.
 
It was a gamble she took and lost, but she still failed to take her party with her, then what were saying is she negotiated a deal which she knew she would have to rely on opposition MP’s to support, but at no time gave them any input or insight in to what she was negotiating.
Then blame them for not supporting it!

First of all you said she had a decent enough majority, now you're saying she didn't without opposition MP's. You're losing me Paul.

She is totally to blame, without any shadow of doubt. She tried to do it her way without taking her Cabinet and party with her. I believe she tried to satisfy Leave AND Remain and ended up falling right in the middle and not satisfying anyone.

What that does show is that the Remianers in Parliament weren't happy with a Brino deal. If they could at least be honest, they are still fighting to overturn the original result.
 
I don’t think you’ve remembered the 2017 GE properly mate:

Opinion polls had consistently shown strong leads for the Conservatives over Labour. From a 21-point lead, the Conservatives' lead began to diminish in the final weeks of the campaign. In a surprising result, the Conservative Party made a net loss of 13 seats with 42.4% of the vote (its highest share of the vote since 1983), whereas Labour made a net gain of 30 seats with 40.0% (its highest vote share since 2001 and the first time the party had gained seats since 1997). That is the largest increase in the share of the vote by a Labour leader since Clement Attlee in 1945. This was the closest result between the two major parties since February 1974, and their highest combined vote share since 1970.

The big lead in the polls is what led to TM thinking it was good idea to call it.


True but the arrogant cow thought she could take the P with her terrible manifesto and it bit her on the arse. (🤢)
I wish Labour had a different front bench because even though I am i life-long Tory I really think once Brexit is done they could do with a spell in opposition.
 
And hopefully they were sensible enough to use the Bcc option :cool::)

Some new phones purchased tonight.

IMO the Grievers' clan has shown yet more of what a vindictive process they seem to be follow completely devoid of any democratic basis and respect for the result of the referendum and the Official Secret Act that government employees are expected to follow!

As if the HoC can sink lower

I was clarifying what I believed OS was saying to me, breakdown between my head and fingers. ;)
 
Revealed: Olly Robbins, Theresa May’s chief Brexit negotiator, is joining the Wall Street giant Goldman Sachs as a senior member of its banking team based in London. The appointment has been approved by the ACOBA committee in Whitehall. Announcement expected imminently.
Olly Robbins taking very highly paid position with Goldman Sachs - one of the banks that funded the Remain campaign, I believe.
 
I presume stating the obvious "We have already had a referendum " is lost on some.

Just as .. the country is in a deadlock seems to be lost on some too.. let’s all stick our head in the sand and keep repeating ‘Ref done’, ‘take back control’, ‘doom and gloom’ etc etc

The country isn't in deadlock, Leavers won and the Losers are inventing ways to make it seem they lost.

No, the arseholes we elected to be MP's are deadlocked not the general public. The general public have already had their say, but like you say, stick our heads in the sand and don't accept the result...
 
Midnight plus and I'm watching a commons debate, wtf? Half of em unsurprisingly are half asleep. Substance is just the same old same old.

Noted earlier sky news reporting no.10 thinking 280-300 mps for Cons at next election, good way short of an outright majority. In that regard GE would not resolve Brexit or help Boris.

Will it ever end?🤐
 
I'm off to Europe on Saturday. How long have we been in the EU? Still charges on cards used over there. The whole of the EU is a con, to get money from us. We pay BILLIONS to be in it, and they still rip us off when we go there????????

You need to change bank or upgrade your account then. No charges for me to use my HSBC debit card for purchases or cash withdrawals.

Any number of banks and cards with zero charges for travel money. Perhaps shop around a bit.

Unbelievable!

As others have pointed out, it's the banks who are ripping you off, not the EU. And it was the EU who recently outlawed credit card surcharges for domestic as well as international purchases.
