It's not exactly the RHI scheme... As a matter of interest, and ignoring the fact that Foster and Co should have been drummed out of office for the wood-burning pellet fiasco, just who in NI is administering this Westminster bounty ? I mean, there is no Government there in any conventional sense right now. Perhaps they should have been, but considering they all got re-elected at the subsequent election it's a moot point, as in order to form a government, the DUP would have to be in office. And ALL parties share blame for the cash for ash debacle, not just the DUP, although they must take the bulk of the blame. And as far as I know the Danegeld hasn't all been allocated yet as there is no government, not that I would ever have described it as "conventional" at any time. (Maybe when the UUP and SDLP were top dogs.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was present and correct at PMQs hammering May on Universal Credit on Wednesday. https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2018/oct/10/pmqs-verdict-corbyn-shreds-mays-breezy-conference-promises On Thursday he marked Black History Month by visiting former slave trade hub Bristol. Quote He said: "It is vital that future generations understand the role that black Britons have played in our country's history and the struggle for racial equality. "In the light of the Windrush scandal, Black History Month has taken on a renewed significance and it is more important now than ever that we learn and understand, as a society, the role and legacy of the British Empire, colonisation and slavery." Today he was in his constituency as most MPs are on a Friday What have you done this week Cerberus?

Quote 2. Does it deliver the “exact same benefits” as we currently have as members of the Single Market and Customs Union? 3.

RedRob72 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 When are we expecting the complete onslaught from Boris?Honestly think that Ship has sailed.There was a bit of a fuss over his fringe meeting in Birmingham, but it passed quickly. He doesn’t have the level of credible support that might have enjoyed two years ago, both within his own party and across the Shires. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Idk if it’s a sincere belief among people that the campaign had as big an effect on the Brexit vote as the preceding twenty years of being hammered off the establishment parties. Maybe if people can convince themselves that they can pinpoint to specific factors like Corbyn’s lack of enthusiasm or Cambridge Analytica they can re run the Remain campaign with a couple of minor tweaks and romp home. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted October 13, 2018 Share Posted October 13, 2018 There’s almost a satisfying irony in the DUP saying May might have to go. I hope the stupid bint cries herself to sleep every night at the thought of the GE she called. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
