Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

Reported last night, a comment by Michael Gove. The workers rights element of the WA “May be omitted in favour of a ‘home grown‘ policy.”

That’ll go down well, especially in the constituencies recently won from Labour.
Ultimately though, it is about taking back control is it not? The UK govt, elected by the UK people devising it's own workers rights. If we don't like the rights then you elect a different govt next time around. Democracy at work.

For all the great chat about protection from Europe the whole zero hours scandal, scandal imo of course, has happened under their watch. Not must protection there.

For all the EU bluster the UK does implement the regulations unlike many other members. Why does the expectation deduce the UK will worsen workers rights?

Only in that it's phrased so that only a complete idiot (or be in a 'full metal jacket') to misinterpret it!
I will not bite. I did explain clearly my opinion why Boris wasnt able to carry out his policy. You disagree so thats the end of the discussion for me.

Actually, that question should be to yourself!

There was nothing in LT's post that suggested workers rights would be degraded! In fact, there was some implied criticism!

In fact, exiring the EU could mean that workers rights could well be made more appropriate to the UK environment!

I did not infer that LT was suggesting a downgrade. You might have missed that I was agreeing with LT's post! I merely observed that, in general, there is the common assertion that when changes to workers right are mentioned they are usually accompanied by a negative inference. Relax. Not every post needs to be starting a controversy.
 
Thats it, we are off on the next magical mystery ride installment.

Suppose a second ref, is now out of the question.;):(

Better get use to the EU, saying you cant have that deal for another year ......
 
Nice to see the new speaker not allowing any amendments meaning a smoother passage, I'm sure this would not have happened with Berko.
Thinking that Bercow allowed all the amendments as there was a good chance of parliament voting for each of them - and that is parliamentary democracy at work. Current situation sees there being no chance of any amendment getting passed by parliament so would be pointless accepting any.

Or the Speaker respects the will of the people and is as hacked of with the continued attempts at delaying the work of getting out.
 
I’m still trying to figure out if this brexit deal is cooked in an oven or microwave. Boris claims it can be cooked either way but I am not sure.
Oven ready I think he said but maybe a slow cooker would be better to bring out the full flavour of the ingredients. Leave it simmering until next December and hopefully it will be perfect, if not im sure a little more basting and flavouring could be allowed. Chlorine should have diluted somewhat by then ?

Cook a sh@t sandwich? Would that be a toasted turdie...;)
