The lack of commitment to retaining workers’, consumers’ and environmental protection in the proposed deal makes it harder for the Kinnock camp to give their support. Would you insist that any Labour MP should be sacked for voting for the deal if it was conditional on going to a confirmatory referendum versus Remain? Just curious.

Distant Doonhamer Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Has anyone plugged in Corbyn today ? I'm hearing next to nothing from his direction. Is there a Farmers Market in Hackney or something ?The man is an utter joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, the detail is crucial and time is needed to go through it. What do you want him to do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You voted leave as it would speed up the Scottish independence journey. This deal will exactly do this, it also gives a blueprint to avoid a future hard border between Scotland (in EU) and England not. It's incredulous that you aren't supporting this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Steele Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 OK, the Forfar Dispatch newspaper isn't a barometer for the country, but Angus does have Kirstene 'don't ask me difficult questions' Hair as MP and many 'farmers'. Yet the front page lead headline is 'Shock findings of Brexit report' that says Angus is potentially one of the areas to be worst hit by Brexit. Hope it will help more people think about the state of UK and the idea of equal nations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like him to step down from the leadership of a party which is currently IMO unelectable. it's a real sadness to me that the leader of the opposition can have had such little , in fact negative, impact over a prolonged period where the Government has been in such disarray. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more the UDA that they were always uncomfortably close to over the years. The problem for the DUP is that there isn't scope for a Unionist veto on the backstop if this goes to Stormont as there normally would be under the GFA. That's not something they are likely to fold on. Boris J needs parliament to collapse pronto so a general election is fought on the issue of him delivering this deal, so he's probably more than happy to jettison the DUP at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just with Foster having meetings with the UVF and UDA this week, I can only imagine them letting her know that if she votes through any deal that would align NI more with the Republic than with the rest of the UK, there will be repercussions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Bob Mahelp Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I'm surprised that Johnston has agreed to this Theresa May-lite type of deal. I always believed he would hold out until the upcoming GE and then campaign on a 'people v parliament' ticket that would surely have seen a clear Tory majority in the HoC....with that he would have had a mandate to go back to Brussels with a hard right agenda. If parliament reject his plan, a GE is inevitable and he leaves himself vulnerable to losing MP's to the Brexit Party. His bluster combined with favourable propaganda from the right-wing press can only take him so far. Sooner rather than later, the country will realise that he's a cowardly wee hypocrite who has capitulated to the EU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
