If anything else the Tories need to stop fannying about. Johnson, the Foreign Secretary seems to have missed the COBRA meeting today, which is relatively important in his ****ing job.

Government is not operating at all.

Sure the rich kids will leave, but good riddance, our country will be more equal as a result. Equally poor I grant you, but equal none the less.

Just for the record - there is no evidence that higher corporate income tax rates = job losses. It's just one of those things endlessly stated as 'fact' by right wing economists (and then picked up on and repeated ad nauseum by commentators with an ideological leaning to the right). In reality, of course, nobody really knows, but what evidence there is, from similar economies, would indicate it will make no difference to jobs, but will increase tax income.

see https://www.theguardian.com/austral...ess-tax-create-less-jobs-labor-research-shows

Also bear in mind that when the government collects and spends more money (on health, education, housing, infrastructure etc) it creates good jobs and contributes to economic growth and increased productivity.

Which I wouldn't pretend 'proves' anything one way or another. But is just as valid (more so really in my view) than the output of the likes of the mouth-foaming Adam Smith Institute and the Institute of Economic Affairs who profess to be independent but are really just paid lobbyists for big corporations and rich right wing ideologues.

Boris doesn't care a jot about anything apart from Boris. He's proved it time and time again and yet people still fall for the "jolly bufoon" facade. He's a weapons grade **** of the highest order and should be nowhere near government.

I have literally switched off from all brexit news and discussion because I didn't really understand it. I didn't understand it when I voted either.

I'm assuming, with the thousands of hours of discussions, everyone understands it now?

It would be awful if we still didn't have a clue what we were doing 2 years after voting for something. Especially after such a clear and detailed campaign.

The country can unite once Brexit is properly done. After all it's what the MAJORITY voted for.

Most of "the majority" will be dead by then. A fair few have died already.

Have supported May up until now, but it's clearly time for her to go now. She has completely given in on everything. Dreadful negotiating stance.

We should have gone to the EU right from the start and said a no deal suits us and then seen what they were prepared to offer if anything. Instead we have conceded and conceded. Crazy. As Boris has said Trump would have done this much much better and got a much better deal for our country.

Stick a Brexiteer in number 10 for the next twelve months to get this through on our terms and then have a general election with it done, so that we can vote on domestic issues.

Agree.

Saw Ms Patel on Question Time last week. She had a really difficult time I thought - not much support from the audience on the inevitable Brexit related questions - so I checked where it was coming from, thinking that it must be a Leaver stronghold. In fact it was King's Lynn which is I thought in the Leaver heartlands. Moreover it was clear as a bell that fellow panel member and ex Tory MP Matthew Paris absolutely detested her.
