Labour are almost as bad as the Tories on Brexit.

What doesn't change is the Brexit everyone was promised is undeliverable.

at the risk of stating the bleeding obvious, labour had no inclination ( as everyone else) that the vote would have been in favour of leaving. I am sure this is the elephant in the room at shadow cabinet meetings. Corbyn has been very quiet on Brexit and I think he is playing the game of sitting back and watching the Conservatives tearing themselves apart. He is probably as surprised as all of us that we haven't gone back to the polls for a GE as TM seems to be clinging to power by her manicured fingernails.

The only real banger of the table is Emily Thornberry, who I have a lot of time for, and she is very much for staying in the single market, customs union and free trade zone to protect jobs in the UK.

It would be very interesting if we had a GE in the next 3 months and if Corbyn won it, which sounds like it would happen, if he came out and said that it was going to cost too many UK jobs and ditched the whole idea. He would have a majority ( a lot of Tories would back him) and it would be put on the shelf of history

He would be better off concentrating on keeping his seat at the next election

Just a majority of 57 there in Mansfield for young Benjamin. Here he is photographed visiting his local football team with his namesake and ex-Culture Secretary Karen and the charming Radford's who own The Stags, 2 months ago. I hear Mrs Radford is very adept at 'escorting' male guests and can be a very accommodating and charming hostess................

Have any of you in the nerdy gang ever in your adult life had a government that represented your political views, ever ?

Must be extremely frustrating and then the referendum came along and you thought 'yes at last' but noooooooo the electorate slaps you down yet again, it's like parody of an AA meeting at some stage you need to stand up and admit 'I am just a daft political activist and no-one takes me seriously', you'll feel much better.

Not really - I don't think I'm her type as I'm one of her constituents - We're on drugs and benefits according to her among other things - Plus as Home Secretary I'm sure it'd be prudent to use privileges available to such an office of state and do a DBS check on any potential suitor - You never know what one of them may find from the dim and distant past.....................:rolleyes:

Speaking of being drunk though, you stick to copying and pasting articles from that Irish right wing drunk blogger you like aka Guido Fawkes site and The Daily Telegraph etc to promulgate your ideological views as the official NSC mouthpiece for Vote Leave/The Conservative & Unionist Party/Activate like a good little, short back and sides Tory boy.

I'm going to test out the ignore feature and stick you on mine on a trial basis with a view to a permanent move as you're just like the readers comments section of The Daily Mail, though less intelligible. I may extend this trial further, to others particularly if I suspect the username to be Tory, Brexit voting and public school. :thumbsup:

(Congratulations on being the first onto my ignore list trial - I'm sure someone like yourself has long history of coming first though and is quite used to it. :lolol: )

Anyway, laters, Tory Boy. :bigwave:

Oooo what a fibber ... you said she undressesd you with her eyes. I expect many of you are (alcohol counts as a drug).

I'm honoured that little old 'Tory boy', **** me has caused you to flee the debate, probably for the best (eg your mental and physical health), cheerio and no peeking :bigwave:

The claim that the gov has no time for anything at all unless its brexit related and therefore paralysed is incredibly bonkers, as is the claim many of the bills on that list havnt been discussed to any degree of seriousness either.

Sounds like none of these remainers are aware of the user friendly search facility at Hansard, where a bill can be searched by type whether it’s a government one,private, a lords one, hybrid bill etc and can see its progress and what stage it is at.

This would show you plenty is going on(non brexit related) even government bills. You can easily search what has passed since the referendum vote when all this paralysis kicked in apparently or by recent parliamentary session.
The really dumb amongst them could skip the search facility all together and just open a Progress of Public Bills List which is compiled every week when parliament is in session, with all the information gathered for them in advance, Government Bills have a big capitol (G) next to them for the really clueless amongst the remainers should confusion set in.

Paralysed my arse indeed. What a load of nonsense.

Yes. The past 5 years. Education, health, transport and economic policies all represented very very well. I’d go as far to say some of the best around.

Greatest?.......I would say the continued no capitulations on brexit and the continued desire to deliver the brexit that was voted for despite an onslaught from undemocratic lunatics in politics and the media or maybe the ability to trigger bedwetting hate filled snowflakes into constantly making fools of themselves................depends what mood im in.

I think the question was really about greatest achievements away from Brexit. The u-turn on fox hunting must be up there.

Yes I was trying to do that as apparently the Tories are not consumed by Brexit at all, they are doing so much other good stuff. But somehow all we get is the will of the people BS

Big Brexit, small brexit, its all the same b(B)rexit to me
Brexit means brexit

Was it? Cool
Best ask her then.Prob a question best served on a non brexit political thread then, and I thought these sort of questions were generally answered at the end of a PM tenure anyway, you know in legacy terms.
The PM that delivered Brexit has a nice legendary ring to it.
