The UK is now a Low Pay economy thanks to Greed at the Top and the abundant cheap labour supply.

Ladeside, exactly - the situation changes by the day, and by the minute on voting days. If, how and when we leave can change massively on an afternoon's voting. What can be constant though is our own wish of what we want to happen. I want out/no deal asap, but that is slipping away for the foreseeable future (until the Brexit party wins lots of seats). I don't know why, but many people seem to think what they personally want will just magically come about and their expectations and wishes remain completely aligned.

There was no need for the gov to be tied up for 3 years. Remoaners in the gov and eu have ensured that would be the case. After the referendum, we should have just left, stopped paying contributions and ruled ourselves ignoring everything the eu said and threatened, and spent the last 3 years getting systems in place so we could prosper outside the eu. That's what the majority wanted, not 3 years of game playing and delaying tactics.

Minerve - no they are not and neither are JLR'S....

It's not just the job losses it's the jobs that haven't been created due to the uncertainty.

Of course the narrative is that everything is going great guns, however if you count delivering Pizzas and Kebabs for a couple of hours per week as quality jobs, then Yes, I suppose it's all looking good.........

[ladeside] 26/3/2019 12:38

What does ?

[minerve 2] 26/3/2019 12:37

Swindon and Sunderland job losses are due to Brexit, no question about it.

[toon1966] 26/3/2019 12:29

I take that includes your comment on job losses?

MP's weren't voted in on a Brexit mandate though, so very difficult to judge an MP on how he or she votes on their own personal beliefs.

It should also be remembered that this is an ever changing story, so what may have seemed right last week, doesn't necessarily mean that it will still be right this week.

The most worrying thing is that "brexit" has overshadowed everything else and as a result our Government is barely functioning which is another issue entirely.........

maxk,

Departure is important because the ERG, for example, have been hinting at supporting her BRINO, if she publicly outlines the timing. In turn, the DUP will vote for the BRINO, if the ERG leads the way.

Many now see it as BRINO or no Brexit, apparently.

Boris had the chance and he bottled it.....absolute coward!

A funny thought that if they were directors of public companies they'd be in prison now.

Very true

[xxxxxy] 26/3/2019 12:11

Boris for PM. But I like JRM too.

[maxk] 26/3/2019 12:11

And why this fixation with the submarine's departure?

It's the damage she is doing now that counts.

[grahamite2] 26/3/2019 12:09

A general election is essential and the sooner the better. We have got to have a clearance of those MPs who were elected on a false prospectus.

A funny thought that if they were directors of public companies they'd be in prison now.

EU lawmakers approve controversial copyright reform

[cm44] 26/3/2019 11:59

Personally I can't see the 12th of April as other than a date on the calendar.
I am resigned to a long extension of article 50,but PLEASE no General election.
I won't mind having EU parliament elections as a substantial UK MEP presence would provide us with an annoying,to them,voice.
What is of concern though is who takes over the Brussels helm.It will be interesting to see how many anti eu factions achieve representation,could be very interesting.

[toon1966] 26/3/2019 11:55

…"Cost jobs".... really?

[ladeside] 26/3/2019 11:51

"17 million voted to LEAVE"

Indeed they did, however they had NO IDEA that it was going to turn into such a shambles which has cost jobs and will continue to cost jobs, has devalued our currency and has caused political turmoil to which there is no end in sight and which has made us the laughing stock of the world.

Would 17 million STILL vote LEAVE, given what they now know ?????

I think we all know the answer to that question............

[minerve 2] 26/3/2019 11:47

Democracy is not a snap shot in time, it is action over the course of time. Having another referendum is democratic and it is only right that people should get the chance to vote again - some knowing they are likely, or almost certainly, going to lose their jobs. I find it very selfish that some on here, comfortable in retirement, can deny them that choice. If the vote doesn't go their way this time, they should have the maturity to accept it wasn't the majority view. The only reason why the previous vote is questioned is because actions are being taken that makes assumptions on the previous vote's mandate and a lot of information has been presented since 2016. If a second referendum takes place it is democratic and it will generally unite the country because nobody will be able to question the referendum result or the mandate it holds this time. If it goes against my wishes, I would accept the result and move on, even though I would believe it to be a mistake.

Stephen Barclay for PM. Anna Soubry for Commons cleaner.

[grahamite2] 26/3/2019 11:42

Alphorn, I'm sure you're right the Swiss hate the Americans more than anyone. When their banks could borrow without paying interest, because they offered something different and much better, those banks could in turn lend to Swiss industry at enviably low rates which gave industry a great competitive advantage.

"Remainers are concerned it could seriously damage their cause - and they really don't like Common Market 2.0"

Looks like Common Market 2.0 has still got legs. Can't be that bad if the Remainers don't like it.
