"Not just Corbyn who has no clue, did anyone see Diane Abbott on Question Time tonight? " They're all moaning about how she was picked on on twitter, but I thought she was so slimy I didn't have any sympathy, she tried to speak for too long and was pompous, I think that irritated Fiona lol! | |||

The snowflake pc brigade of the Labour Momentum cult on twitter are always outraged about something or other. I'd say Diane Abbott got the treatment she deserved and invited it on herself by her own sheer ineptitude. | |||

"Is it just me or if Corbyn wants ' No deal' off the table that will take a parliamentary act revoking article 50.... all else is just noise and lies #mytuppance He's a fucking prick, he's just flailing around like a limp saggy cock with no chance of ever achieving a semi never mind an errection. Everything that idiot does backfires on him & his party ends up taking the credibility hit he causes. That's why the Torries are near untouchable because with Corbyn at the helm of Labour the Conservatives don't have an opposition to be worried about. " OMG! More of the same claptrap! Before Christmas when he refused to set out Labours position or call a vote of 'No Confidence' in Mrs May after she was challenged by JRM he was a useless leader of the opposition and needed to be got rid of. Now after Mrs May's brexit deal has been kicked out by parliament and the DUP and her own brexiteer hardliners have said they will bring down Mrs May if she does not retain the option of a hard brexit with no backstop for NI, JC makes his demands and they put Mrs May in a position where she has to jump one way or the other and each means she looses the vote of 'No Confidence' that must surely follow. And still you think he is an ineffectual leader of the opposition. My god you remind me of Hitler's minions in late 44 early 45. Your so convinced of your so convinced of your leaders abilities you cant see that you have had your chance and the wind of change is upon you! Of course JRM and his chums see the writing on the wall that is why they are transferring their loot out of the country before the maelstrom catches up with them. | |||

I point out exactly what has happened in the last month and exactly what Corybn has done, and rather than consider it and maybe put forward a counterpoint you recycle the same garbage. I will now point out that it is the same garbage that has been pouring out of the rightwing populist media for the last 3 1/2 years and so far it has been proven wrong at every turn. Rather than reading and then spouting the latest daily mail/express/telegraph/sun talking point why don't you start comparing the stories and noticing how often his political enemies are having to publish retractions and apologies and dig in their pockets and make donations in Mr Corbyn's name to charities of his choice or face open and closed deformations cases. If the man were really the idiot that he is portrayed to be by the rightwing press then they would not be continually attempting to discredit him and ferment revolution to remove him in the Labour Party. No one puts sustained effort into removing an incompetent opponent. One does what JC has done to May and the Tories, you quietly leave them to weaken themselves and only move when you know your move will fatally wound or destroy them. May and the Tories are now fatally wounded, JC's next move will destroy them unless the rightwing can find enough quislings in the PLP to do their dirty work for them. | |||

"How can Labour even hope to get in power when they represent themselves so badly on national television." You make a good point, Diane Abbot should not be appearing on live TV any longer. But the problem is that too many of our 'high profile' MP's are not loyal to either the party membership or JC and that leaves a very small pool of MP's that can be fielded to represent the party with confidence that they will not use a public platform to torpedo JC and the Labour's policies. | |||

"Sounds like a united party one ready to lead. " You may not have noticed, but the Labour Party is the biggest party in the UK. In fact there are nearly as many members of the Labour Party as in all the other parties combined. And we are united, our problem is that the party is still in the process of wresting control of the PLP and NEC back from a torylite enterist elite that took control of the party in the early 90's and moved the party into blue water allowing the ultra rightwing of the Conservative Party to move the Official Tories so far right that now their MP's can get away with having publicity photos taken at foodbank collection points claiming they support foodbanks when they are the cause of foodbanks! But don't worry, we are cleaning house and there is a reckoning coming. | |||

"You may not have noticed, but the Labour Party is the biggest party in the UK. In fact there are nearly as many members of the Labour Party as in all the other parties combined...." Labour may be the biggest political party in the UK .... but there is no getting away from the fact that to take 'no deal' off the table a parliamentary act to revoke Article 50 is needed ... that's not going to happen therefore 'no deal' is what will happen if an agreement isn't reached as per the already enshrined parliamentary act... Lets see what Plan B brings on Monday ... though my gut says its the same as Plan A with a dusting of icing sugar | |||

I can actually see this whole Brexit business completely changing British politics forever and maybe that is no bad thing." I can see how you and others would think this. But the fact is only the PLP and NEC (and other management committees) are divided, and they total less than 400 of 800,000. Fact is they have used their positions of power to change the rules to make it harder to remove them (like all infestations, they are a lot harder to get rid of than to become host to), but we are removing them. | |||

Both sides can be accused of missleading the voter virtually none of the things that remain forecast would happen straight after the vote have. As for all the scares about a hrad brexit Funny how they all talk about tariffs on food products and cars but never mention that the average tariff is less than 4% even allowing for the distortion of those two sectors, time to call the EU's bluff | |||

Why do you think Mrs May is terrified of being the one whom history remembers as delivering no deal? Because every single one of them knows how shit that will be for a large swathe of the population.

Congratulations!! Winner of the most ridiculous post of the day. And couldn't make it up!.... Well you just didWhat that mcdonell busted the glc?" Just as they are doing now with local authorities, the Tories meddled with and severely cut funding for the GLC.... And why?, because they couldn't seize control of the GLC or other Metropolitan Councils at the time. They played party political games with funding cuts that crushed the GLC out of spite.

"Sounds like a united party one ready to lead. You may not have noticed, but the Labour Party is the biggest party in the UK. In fact there are nearly as many members of the Labour Party as in all the other parties combined. And we are united, our problem is that the party is still in the process of wresting control of the PLP and NEC back from a torylite enterist elite that took control of the party in the early 90's and moved the party into blue water allowing the ultra rightwing of the Conservative Party to move the Official Tories so far right that now their MP's can get away with having publicity photos taken at foodbank collection points claiming they support foodbanks when they are the cause of foodbanks!

Just as those same experst who point out that 27 of the 35 advanced economies in the world are the EU without us and the rest of the worl has little use for 'Financial Products', Rolls Royces, Bentleys or McLaren cars equally don't know what they are talking about. So we will be fine being able to sell all our luxury services into all those advanced economies like the Central African Republic, Brazil and Cambodia. | |||

"When Cutler won the '77 GLC election he was used as a puppet by Thatcher to bring the GLC to its knees, Cutler was the figurehead of the GLC but Thatcher actually ran it from No.10. He (and She) started the dismantling of the finances of the GLC, first by selling off 20% of the social housing stock in less than two years, Secondly by all but destroying London Transport with Bus and Tube fare rises of 140% in less than those same two years, with the receipts of those fare rises by-passing the GLC into Central government coffers. So ZERO reinvestment of those extra fares, and subsequently LT running stock investment was frozen during this period. This period saw the first decrease into GLC funding from central government in twelve years. Livingstone saved London Transport when he won in '81, it had been starved of investment by a bitter and spiteful Tory government, and had seen Four years of budget cuts which HALVED investment in running stock and engineering. Thatcher went on to abolish the GLC out of that same spitefulness, and that has carried on by successive Tory governments ever since. " What alot of people dont realize is alot of the social housing needed updating selling it was a good idea the problem is they did not use the money to build new ones thats where the fault was.When my parents bought their council house it had crickle windows no central heating ,kitchen needed renewing it would have cost the council a fortune to bring all the houses up to a decent living standard and i dare say today they wouldnt be allowed to rent them.So to sell them made sense,people put new windows and front doors in double glazed it updated whole areas gave people more pride in where they lived and created a great deal of employment.As i said the problem lay with not spending the money on new ones. | |||

Councils never had that option. The 1982 Housing Act not only forced councils to sell their housing stock at highly discounted prices, but it also stopped councils reinvesting the money earned from sales in new housing without Central Government approval which was hardly ever given. Of course the Act also gave Central Government access to that capital at very favourable (under open market) interest rates. | |||

And it was a (reasonably successful) attempt to turn traditional Labour voters into Conservative voters who (wrongly) believed that home ownership made them middle class overnight, and changed the voting habits of many of them. The prospect of home ownership is often used by Conservatives as bait to change political allegiance. There is absolutely no denying that Thatcher set out to abolish the GLC out of spite. Funnily enough it possibly had the opposite effect that she had imagined it would, with London, particularly the City of London, having a genuine shout in becoming the Singapore of the UK. | |||

"The radical programme was to be found in the Beveridge Report. 1942, the British Cabinet thinks the war has turned, there might be an end, and asks a top boffin to come up with ideas for making sure the post-war is not the same as the pre-war. The Conservative Party adopted exactly the same policies in the 1945 manifesto. The Beveridge report. Only they were a bit tame in the goals they set - Labour was bold. 1945 was a consensus that last until Margaret Thatcher came to power in 1979. Not least the idea that the welfare state is affordable only during full employment, i.e. nationalised industry. She severed that link - she got rid of the jobs but kept the welfare state - and the country has been suffering ever since as a result. " We always used to work best when our back was against the wall. Everyone came together and worked for the betterment of the Country. The problem we have now is too many professional politicians. These people from all parties couldn't run a tap let alone a Company. Hence the mess we are in now. | |||

"Is it just me or if Corbyn wants ' No deal' off the table that will take a parliamentary act revoking article 50.... all else is just noise and lies #mytuppance He's a fucking prick, he's just flailing around like a limp saggy cock with no chance of ever achieving a semi never mind an errection. Everything that idiot does backfires on him & his party ends up taking the credibility hit he causes. That's why the Torries are near untouchable because with Corbyn at the helm of Labour the Conservatives don't have an opposition to be worried about. OMG! More of the same claptrap! Before Christmas when he refused to set out Labours position or call a vote of 'No Confidence' in Mrs May after she was challenged by JRM he was a useless leader of the opposition and needed to be got rid of. Now after Mrs May's brexit deal has been kicked out by parliament and the DUP and her own brexiteer hardliners have said they will bring down Mrs May if she does not retain the option of a hard brexit with no backstop for NI, JC makes his demands and they put Mrs May in a position where she has to jump one way or the other and each means she looses the vote of 'No Confidence' that must surely follow. And still you think he is an ineffectual leader of the opposition. My god you remind me of Hitler's minions in late 44 early 45. Your so convinced of your so convinced of your leaders abilities you cant see that you have had your chance and the wind of change is upon you! Of course JRM and his chums see the writing on the wall that is why they are transferring their loot out of the country before the maelstrom catches up with them. JRM was cracking open the champagne after May's deal was rejected the other night, he thinks a no deal is coming, so he's hardly In retreat, lol. As for Corbyn's plan to keep on calling repeated no confidence votes, the lib dems have now said they won't back Corbyn unless he calls for another referendum. Corbyn doesn't want to call another referendum. " JRM needs a lesson in party loyalty, as do his cretinous henchmen. You talk about Labour being divided - a champagne redeption for the riff raff who voted against their own leader in order to stop a deal and who tried to bring her down before Xmas.

"If we say no deal off the table then we’re giving the EU the power and they’ll give us a even worse deal.. Am I the only ones who’s read the art or negotiations lol" As one of the guests said earlier on sky news press preview, asking Theresa May to take no deal off the table would be like telling trade unions to take strike action off the table before you agree to talk with them. Corbyn's position is nonsense and it isn't going to happen. | |||

"I'm so convinced of my leaders abilities lol, I've never said that, I think the Torries are terrible, JC's worse in my claptrap opinion cant see that you have had your chance and the wind of change is upon you! What the hell does that mean lol Hey, if you think JC is all singing & dancing then great, good for you mate, I think he's a flaccid sack of nothingness and to say how much bad press is going on over this Brexit stupidity the Torries are still ahead of Labour in the polls goes to show something is exceedingly wrong with Labour and that problem I think is its leadet And still you don't get it. I point out exactly what has happened in the last month and exactly what Corybn has done, and rather than consider it and maybe put forward a counterpoint you recycle the same garbage. I will now point out that it is the same garbage that has been pouring out of the rightwing populist media for the last 3 1/2 years and so far it has been proven wrong at every turn. Rather than reading and then spouting the latest daily mail/express/telegraph/sun talking point why don't you start comparing the stories and noticing how often his political enemies are having to publish retractions and apologies and dig in their pockets and make donations in Mr Corbyn's name to charities of his choice or face open and closed deformations cases. If the man were really the idiot that he is portrayed to be by the rightwing press then they would not be continually attempting to discredit him and ferment revolution to remove him in the Labour Party. No one puts sustained effort into removing an incompetent opponent. One does what JC has done to May and the Tories, you quietly leave them to weaken themselves and only move when you know your move will fatally wound or destroy them. May and the Tories are now fatally wounded, JC's next move will destroy them unless the rightwing can find enough quislings in the PLP to do their dirty work for them.divering " You sound almost like a BREXITER talking about BREXIT. Personally I don't think Corbyn is the Great Saviour many seem to think but neither the total idiot others try to make out. On the BREXIT vote and talks with May, I think he's got it tactically wrong. He should speak to May in person, even if only to tell her in person that there's nothing further to talk about until 'no deal' is off the table. Writing letters back and forth simply doesn't cut it. The Labour tactic of deliberate ambiguity over BREXIT has served then reasonably well up to now but it surly can't continue much longer. Corbyn's refusal to talk to May and his unwillingness to move past a never ending series of confidence votes is starting to look like dithering. More indecision is not what the country is looking for right now. And even if his tactic could work and force a general election that's not what people want right now either, that simply makes it look like he's putting his party's interests before the country's. The people are crying out for both leadership and effective opposition. Despite what you claim to Corbyn's credit, I see little of either coming from him. | |||

"You may not have noticed, but the Labour Party is the biggest party in the UK. In fact there are nearly as many members of the Labour Party as in all the other parties combined.... Labour may be the biggest political party in the UK .... but there is no getting away from the fact that to take 'no deal' off the table a parliamentary act to revoke Article 50 is needed ... that's not going to happen therefore 'no deal' is what will happen if an agreement isn't reached as per the already enshrined parliamentary act... Lets see what Plan B brings on Monday ... though my gut says its the same as Plan A with a dusting of icing sugar " What makes you think there'll be icing sugar? May will basically say on Monday what she's been saying since June. "This is the deal, it's a good deal and there is no other deal other than my deal". And the reason why she'll do that is because, basically, she's right. There is no other deal and it is the best deal we're going to get. The problem is Remainers, and quite a few Leavers, think it's worse than the deal we currently have and a lot of Leavers think it's worse than 'no deal'. | |||

"Considering he's seen as so bad, and so 'flaccid' by you Right Wingers you would think that the Nasty Party would have had a landslide victory at the last General Election.... Remind us all, just how close was that last election? I think you doubters actually fear Corbyn as you wouldn't bother slagging him off if you thought he had no chance of leading Labour into an election win next time round. " Beyond saying that I don't agree with him I seldom slagg Corbyn off. I do sometimes criticise him. I'm quite happy to admit that I think Corbyn has a reasonable chance of winning the next election, although not as good as it should be given the total disarray the Conservative Party is in. But the question has to be asked, why isn't Labour doing better? I think it's Jeremy. He simply doesn't appeal to dissolutioned Conservatives like myself and without them it will be very difficult for Labour to win any general election. | |||

"He's a total numpty. If the PM were to take 'no deal' off the table then the EU would walk all over us even more than they have already because what he is saying is that he will accept whatever they give us. Clearly no experience in negotiating. You must always be prepared to walk away. Others who have dealt with the EU's negotiators have said the same thing - you xan not negotiate with them. They don't compromise. They are inflexible. The only way we will get a decent deal is if we now progress along the no deal route. David Davis has even said before that, if the EU were seriously facing the prospect of us leaving without a deal in the last few days of March, that's when they will begin making concessions. I said it right at the start. No deal should have been our initial position." What concession are you hoping to get from the EU now? | |||

It seems like it was Teresa's deal all along with a few leavers thrown in to make it look good. | |||

"i was referring to the conclusion of the phase one negotiation. The day after, Davies went on TV and played down the inclusion of a backstop, saying it was just a gentleman's agreement that had no legal status. The alarm bells started ringing very loudly in Dublin in that point. Dublin simply did not trust London to keep its word. Hence the inclusion of the backstop in the legal agreement - the clause that sunk Mrs May's proposal in the House of Commons. Dublin and the EU will not budge on that. We have David Davies to thank for that. Not the only stupid thing he came out with, but by far the most damaging. " I which case he needs our thanks otherwise they may have voted for Teresa's crap deal! | |||

" I which case he needs our thanks otherwise they may have voted for Teresa's crap deal! Good luck trying to reconcile No Deal with the Good Friday Agreement then. " It's been explained to you before on other threads, if we leave on no deal we'll then be able to negotiate a Canada Style free trade agreement with the EU as a 3rd country. Under WTO rules we get a 10 year exemption on border controls in Ireland while the free trade deal Is being negotiated so the good Friday agreement is respected. We can trade with the EU on WTO rules until the free trade deal is concluded. | |||

As you may recall, David Davis accuses Barnier of posturing and that Barniers graphic was not representative of the U.K. way of thinking. I asked you previously... when did David Davis change from being dead against a Canada type deal to being a champion for it? It seems strange that within the space of a year he could be so critical of an idea touted by his opponent and now claims it as his own. | |||

You have been slagging the EU for its porous border, you have been demanding controls on everything and everyone coming into the UK - and now you want none of that for ten years! Canada was on the table two years ago but, oh no, you leavers did not want that. You are making this up as you go along. No wonder the EU is just sitting back and watching the UK fall to bits. There was no plan in 2016 and still there is no plan in 2019. Reckless doesn’t even been to desribe the harm being inflicted on the UK. | |||

" My understanding from reading about this “ten year rule” is that it’s used to transition to a FTA not a negotiation period. That is, it’s when the details of the FTA are agreed but for some reason not all parts can be implemented immediately. So you do the rest on agreed terms, and the difficult bits will come in within a “reasonable time”. So you can’t say Canada like without specifying what the “like” actually means etc, but have the treaty ready to sign before you the “transition period” kicks in ... | |||

" Honestly, I don't think it would have mattered who did the negotiating, the deal was always going to be either in the Customs Union or some kind of backstop for Northern Ireland. It's part of the BREXIT delusion that, if only someone other than May, Davis, Radd (make your own choice) had run the show we'd have got something better. It feeds into their fantasy that there is some sort of good BREXIT out there and if we just had the right person in charge we could get it. The reality is is that there is no good BREXIT, that the problem with BREXIT is not the person negotiating it, the problem with BREXIT is BREXIT. | |||
