Well done xxxxy for giving credit to the authors of the pieces you quote.

Why doesn't bargainbob do the same? Is he ashamed to admit the source for his extremist rants?

Soubry to QUIT? Twitter change sparks frenzy Remainer Tory MP will join Labour REBELS

ANNA Soubry has sparked speculation she may be the next MP to defect to the new Independent Group after removing a Conservative Party slogan from a social media profile.


The Tory MP for Broxtowe and outspoken Remainer used to prominently display her pride at being a “life long One Nation Tory” on her Twitter bio. However, Ms Soubry has removed all reference to her party from the bio section of her profile, referring to herself simply as ‘MP for Broxtowe’. The title echoes stylising employed by the seven breakaway Labour MPs who announced this morning they were quitting their party and forming the Independent Group of MPs.

'They were after all willing to stand for election on a pro Brexit ticket in 2017.'

And indeed 80% of MPS stood on that ticket

LEAVE and WTO

By the way.

An Independent group

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: FEBRUARY 19, 2019
Seven Labour MPs resigned from their party in protest over its anti Semitism and general attitudes. Several of them might not have been re selected as Labour candidates, such is the gap between their thinking and that of their former party’s leadership. None of them intend to put their new attitudes and affiliations to the test of the electorate in a by election. So far they are not saying they are forming a new party, and there are no current plans to put up Council candidates in May or put up a candidate to fight a Parliamentary by election when there is vacancy.

Their policy platform is also so far unclear. They come from the Blairite pro EU wing of the Labour party, but did not wish to play up support for a second referendum. Perhaps they grasped that that is not a very popular idea, and does not look very democratic. They were wishing to annex the idea of democracy to themselves, but would have some problem in explaining why they reject the biggest vote in our history when the people answered the question Leave or Remain on promise of Parliament implementing the decision. They said they did not wish to join the Liberal Democrats who showed that having as your main distinctive policy overturning the referendum on the EU commanded only 10% support in the last general Election.

UK politics has been substantially changed by the Brexit vote. It led to the two main parties defying the trend in the UK from 2010, and the trend on the continent, of declining vote shares for the two traditional left of centre and right of centre parties. Labour and Conservative together leapt up to 82% of the vote at a time when on the continent the two traditional parties in most countries is now well below 50% together and in some cases as in France down to under 20%. Labour gained votes by moving leftwards whilst saying they would implement Brexit, Conservatives gained votes by pledging we will leave the EU. The election did not show a large demand for a new party pro the EU along Lib Dem or Blairite lines.

UK politics this year will be about Brexit. Both main parties have to assist it or suffer electorally if they do not. Both promised voters they would implement the referendum, and both said they wanted an independent trade policy for the UK which means leaving the customs union. The Independent Group wisely avoided making Brexit the main point of their break from Labour, as they would be putting themselves in a difficult and unpopular position if that is their main grudge. They were after all willing to stand for election on a pro Brexit ticket in 2017. They also need differences that will last longer than the time to our departing the EU. So far they struggle to define them, but doubtless will do more to set them out in the weeks ahead. The biggest point of difference they highlighted is one of tone and approach to people, with their plea for a kinder more inclusive type of politics than they find in the modern Labour party.

"Remainer drains" corruption!!!!



Government demands to know if taxpayer cash was used to fund anti-Brexit rally

COUNCIL chiefs were last night asked whether taxpayers' money funded an anti-Brexit rally.


Cabinet minister James Brokenshire wrote to Winchester City Council to demand an

explanation of the authority's involvement in the protest addressed by Liberal

Democrat leader Sir Vince Cable. The Housing, Communities and Local Government

Secretary asked if part of the £17,000 given to the authority to prepare for a no-

deal Brexit was used for the event. The city council allowed the rally to be

staged at its Guildhall on February 9.

The building was draped in party-political banners when Sir Vince, along with

fellow anti-Brexit campaigners Baroness Kramer and Lord Adonis, addressed 2,000

demonstrators.

Council officials reportedly hired stewards for the march demanding a second

referendum

Yes, out of the pub, just got Indian take-a-way. Heading home.

Minerve I say yes to Soft Brexit deal as long as they treat us equal and free partners outside of EU. A second referendum, lol, no way, forget it.

I am an LFC fan so it isn't a great loss to me.

Top of the league if we win our game in hand, world record profits - not all bad.

Chelsea are a bit of a pushover ATM. I wouldn't read too much into that result.

Being a member of the EU allows the UK to trade freely with 27 other countries. In 2016, the EU1 accounted for 48% of goods exports from the UK, while goods imports from the EU were worth more than imports from the rest of the world combined.

UK trade relationships are usually stronger with neighbouring countries, as well as countries with large economies. China and the US are large economies and important UK trading partners, even accounting for their distance from us.

However, distance is important. The value of the UK’s trading relationship with Ireland is higher than the value of UK trade with Italy or Spain, even though the total size of Ireland’s economy is much smaller than Italy’s or Spain’s.
