Re: 2019 UK General Election
Just coming in on this but any trade deal with the the U.S relies on getting it through the dmocrat controlled senate that will block any deal creating a hard border in Ireland and may just want to play hard with Trump anyway so overtures to the democrats on Brexit may be important of course Im on ...

Re: 2019 UK General Election

Re: 2019 UK General Election
Anyone care to guess which party's manifesto is going to be written with the help of self-confessed Trotskyist and former member of the Revolutionary Communist Party, Munira Mirza?
Yep, it's the Conservative Party.

Re: 2019 UK General Election
polls have SNP winning 50 + seats I think that it's likely that the SNP will do very well, but it's far too far out to really start relying on polls.

The governing party holding impact assessments back is sure to become a hot potato in the campaigns.

Re: Brexit - The UK's EU Referendum & Withdrawal
An interesting theory.

Being on the last day of term actually m...

Up to the point of the Gvmnt suspending WAB proceedings the main concern seemed to be that the UK could leave the transition with no deal. Philip Hammond had argued that the "new" agreement is a “heavily camouflaged no deal”, drawing on (recycling) many textual parts of the May Deal. - ea...
