Who wants to work when it’s sunny?
Speaking about the "six tests" Labour set the government to decide whether to support the final Brexit deal in a Commons vote, he said: "Well let's just take one test - the exact same benefits. Bollocks.
"Always has been bollocks and it remains it.
"We know very well that we cannot have the exact same benefits and actually it would have made sense - because it was the Tories that said they were going to secure the exact same benefits - and our position should have been to say they have said they are going to secure the exact same benefits and we are going to hold them to that standard."

Surely he is a goner?

Thought you would be a bit more wary of open door immigration by now HT
MIGRANTS IN EUROPE LINKED TO SOARING VIOLENCE AND CRIME IN GERMANY, STUDY FINDS
A Germany university found that a 10.4 percent increase in violent crime was linked to an influx of migrants into the country's southern region.
The increase in crime took place in 2015 and 2016 at the height of the European migration crisis, when German Chancellor Angela Merkel ignored E.U. rules and allowed an open-door policy for migrants entering the state from war-torn Syria.
More than 90 percent of the 10.4 percent increase in reported violent crimes was attributed to young male migrants in Germany's southern state of Lower Saxony, according to a new study from the Zurich University of Applied Sciences. A huge wave of migrants flooded into the European Union in 2015 from countries through Greece and Turkey that led to more than one million migrants applying for asylum in Germany.... The study funded by Germany's Ministry of Family Affairs found that many violent crimes reported by police in that time linked to male migrants between 14 and 30 years old, according to Deutsche Welle....Economically powerful and populous Germany often sets the tone for E.U. immigration policies. In September 2017, the Court of Justice ruled that E.U. countries had to reach a quota of immigrants and that the quota was "necessary to respond effectively and swiftly to an emergency situation characterized by a sudden inflow of displaced persons" despite resistance in Hungary, Slovakia and other member countries.

How do you want to measure it ? Against the Euro it's the highest it's been for the last month.

It's hard to know. The threshold for keeping your job or being sacked/forced to resign in the Labour party is rather erratic.
Calling for a second referendum = immediately sacked
Rubbishing Labour Brexit policy and fibbing = stay in post
Three quarters of Labour MP's passing a vote of no confidence in the Dear Leader = stay in post
Defending antisemitic people/antisemitism = stay in position (unless heat gets too great)
Terrorist apologist = stay in post/promotion
Side with Russia/Syria/anyone but the west = stay in post/promotion/lead party.
Bizarrely this approach has only seen them drop a few points in the polls. Many have deserted the Dear Leader (eg Jewish people see Maureen Lipmann/ and anyone with a conscience/sense of decency ) but others have rallied to the cause (eg Nick Griffin).

Hang on just a moment there. You've just quoted a post from one poster, proclaiming the £ at it's HIGHEST level against the € in a month, and another celebrating how 'wonderfully LOW' the £ is against the €, and you are claiming BOTH as a win?
You're an idiot.
This one is easy isn't it?
The red one forces you to breeze through the arrivals halls of every European airport, whilst the blue one affords you the richer cultural experience of four hours queuing with the arrivals from Lagos and Dar el Salam, and the added excitement of hoping your visa application went through okay, and you don't get turned around.
(I think the blue one also comes with a free poster of Catherine Zeta-Jones as Mariette Larkin)

Perhaps he can't read?
This one has a picture,so might attract his attention!Perhaps I should explain that pond is BBC-speak for £.
Because you ignored the fact the passport contract is coming to an end ( something I stated when responding to you ). It had to change anyway so why not change the colour at the same time ? It didn't cost any more to do so. In fact it cost less. I guess you ignored the response because you were sulking in your unstated foreign climes.

Well,it seems to have affected you.
Good grief .... it HAD to change .... the words European Union needed removing at the very minimum. You seem obsessed with the passport .... why ?
I think he was joking about the contradictory responses i got asking the same question to 3 different people- hence that went well - beauty is in the eye of the beholder

a) Because we're leaving the EU and the contract was up
b) It's only remainers making a big deal of it
c) No it couldn't be blue before - we signed up to the deal that meant it had to follow the EU preferred design. It could have been blue if we hadn't signed up but we did.
d) Because the contract has come to an end AND we're leaving the EU ..... very simple really !!!!
Good point. When I read about the incraeasing number of Brits coming to Germany I must admit it did send a shudder down my spine; the football match against Amsterdam was a timely reminder of typical British behavior. I’m also aware of that London is losing control of its streets to gangs. That hard border with Britain can’t come soon enough.
