Interesting that the conversation has moved on from Brexit... The problem with the view that a labour government would bankrupt the country which is t...
Yes, I agree about sticking to party lines. I mentioned it because the media focussed on it as being boring and not broadening the debate and were spi...
I have seen a few other polls on the debate, Corbyn is well ahead in all of them. I don't have time now to link them. Anyway Dominic Raab the Tory Sec...
Thanks for that, there is so much going on now, I can't write it all here. The first time I saw this false poll was on BBC in the follow up coverage. ...
James OBrian on LBC has just made an interesting observation. In reference to the fraudulent change of the name and title of the Conservative press tw...
Highlights of the leaders debate, its difficult to be impartial due to the depth of the political division. Audience and initial public reaction is sp...
There will be a leaders debate tonight at 8.00pm on ITV. Between Johnson and Corbyn. It will be broadcast widely on news channels if you're not in the...
Yes I don't deny that they did reflect a public view. But the public was from my experience quite isolated from the general public politically. It was...
I just wanted to pick up on these two points. The "public view" on EU rules has been primed by the tabloid press and figures like Boris Johnson spread...
I was blaming the idea of leaving the EU on the Tory party. On the assumption that UKIP was a Tory party phenomenon, part of the split in the party. I...
Johnson's deal takes us there, or do you think it doesn't? In an ideal world, (as you suggested) My point was what are we doing considering such a thi...
Rather like I say, in an ideal world, ( or a good deal with the EU) an independent England is an interesting concept. Although I don't see what reason...
What have the examples you give got in common? War and/or deep division between groups with all the animosity which is found in human nature. I'm surp...
Yes the end of the union and that it would be a bad thing. Principly for England, it would certainly precipitate unification in Ireland and possibly W...
Yes, very interesting. Putin should take care with Europe because a large revenue stream comes from the gas pipeline to Europe. As far as I know most ...
Yes, I'm not sure what would happen at that point, David Gauke described it as moving to world trade rules, but many commentators, including well info...
Interesting intervention from David Gauke this morning a well respected Tory moderate. Saying that a Johnson majority would be bad for the country. It...
Of interest to me is that it will contribute to a political row over the government refusing to publish the select committee report on possible Russia...
The cabal I was referring to was in the shadows, they were always confined to an enclave by the moderate, "one nation" Tory's who ran the governments....
It has been reported that the Labour Party campaign team has suffered a cyber attack. Just as Hillary Clinton has criticised the government for sittin...
It has emerged that Farage had been starting to examine what was wrong with Johnson's deal last week. As soon as the tabloids realised what he was up ...
I would have accepted leave the day following the referendum up until Theresa May's first meaningful vote. Although I was critical of her failure to w...
Farage has just said he will not stand candidates in the seats that the Conservatives won in the last election. About 317 seats I think. He says it's ...
Yes, I hear you, if that is the definition then you are right. The cabal at the centre of the hard right faction of the Conservative party during the ...
I did see that article, I left not sure what to think, other than the electorate had not moved significantly from what it was thinking in 2016. Also t...
. Yes, in hindsight I think you were right to pick me up on that one. It was the article I was reading which made me over egg the influence of Tony Bl...
I agree, the decision to call the referendum was a tragic mistake, Cameron should have denied the Eurosceptics in his own party the opportunity. I thi...
I don't think you can presume that all leavers are this hardline. A significant proportion are likely to be less decided and are either concerned abou...
I think this sums it up quite well, but what I have been trying to say is that this course has only been adopted by the Conservatives as a last resort...
Yes, the article does lean slightly in Favour of Labour, but I recognise that reality. It is one of the numerous means used by the right wing elite an...
Its not populism, although populism played a part. If it were that simple Le Pen and others like her would be in office now. Trump got into power beca...
An interesting interview on Politics live today(BBC) with Anthony Seldon, who has written an in depth analysis of Theresa May's term in office. He des...
Quite, and compounded by the finality of the cut off date of the article 50 process. Our political process is not designed for such deadlines on profo...
I think this discussion should be widened out to consider what is going on here, alongside the commentary and discussion of day to day events. The rea...
Yes, leavers have accepted now that we will take an economic hit, accept a Trump deal and cock a snook at the Europeans. So if Brexit is cancelled we ...
Don't forget the ignorant Toffs and middle class Tory's, they out numbered those masses and they brought about the flawed referendum to begin with. Th...
So your reservations are with whether the Labour Party will be able to deliver their policies. Perhaps they will have problems here and there, governm...
Yes I do expect it from Johnson, I do get a bit angry with him though. It is interesting that you suggest Corbyn can't be trusted. Can you suggest wha...
Johnson's opening campaigning speech today. His privelidged voice sounds irresistible, he has nailed that tone of benevolent optimism, that you hear f...
Its delinquency, this is what the Tory party has become. The decent Tory's have jumped ship and ERG stooges have filled the gap drunk on raw power. Th...
Sorry I must have rushed that post. I meant a meaningful vote on the new deal negotiated by Corbyn and his second referendum. What I am referring to i...
An interesting side issue, which illustrates how out of touch members of the government are. Rees Mogg (mewling pencil), said on LBC yesterday that it...
Yes, an important story. The government will have read it and for some reason decided to sit on it. Typical of the ram it through policies of Cummings...
It depends if there is a meaningful vote or what the balance of MPs in the house is after the election. Perhaps the referendum result will be binding....
