  1. Soubry must of been on the lash again at the weekend. Told Marr that she didn’t stand on the Conservative manifesto in 2017. http:// Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  2. The EU won’t negotiate until A50 is triggered. So what you’re suggesting is that Cameron should have triggered A50, negotiated a withdrawal agreement then gone back to the country on the basis of that withdrawal agreement. We still wouldn’t know the future relationship, because the EU won’t agree that until you’ve left. You haven’t really thought this through have you. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  3. According to James Forsyth tonight, she’s decided this cross party reach out hasn’t worked so she’s changing tack. He claims she told the cabinet in todays conference call that she’s seeking something on the backstop to get the ERG & DUP onside. She’s joked previously that the cabinet use a Forsyth App rather than Whats App as he always seems to be ITK on cabinet discussions. She seems to be a pathological liar when it comes to Brexit,and I doubt the EU would agree anything, but you never know. I never understood why she went searching for votes by talking to remoaners like PC, SNP, Lucas and the Labour Blairites, when she only needs to get the Tory backbench & DUP onboard. Perhaps she was playing them. If and it’s a ****ing big if, she gets something, Wollaston, Grieve and other sopping wet remoaners will have to show their true colours. I’m sure they’ll be half a dozen turncoats but maybe Field, Hoey, Mann and other solid Labour democrats could cancel them out. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  4. I’m not so sure. How do we get to cancelling Brexit, surely it’s a second referendum? The manoeuvres, plots and frankly the people involved (Blair, Madleson etc) in getting there, are going to harm the Remain side. I reckon there’s 50-60 Tory MP’s that’ll take the chance they’ll win a rerun. Even if they don’t, The next election will return a lot of Brexit betrayal candidates, and they’ll go again. Personally, I’d have thought May’s soft exit deal would appeal to all but the Adonis wing of Remain. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  5. He played well yesterday and is certainly playing himself into the team. Had a similar sort of spell under Puel but for various reasons didn’t really push on and become a regular. Although he does deserve to be starting, clearly a fully focused Lemina is a far better player at the moment. Therefore, if Lemina got his head out of the clouds, would JWP start above PEH or Romeu? He needs to push on and continue the improvement of the past 4 weeks before I’m convinced he’s finally arrived. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  6. Were you asleep during the campaign, for somebody who claims to be some sort of political expert, you really didn’t pay much attention to the issue did you? Here’s some to be getting on with, if there’s a rerun I suggest you pay a bit more attention.

  8. The Irish voted against the Nice and Lisbon treaties and had second referenda both times. The Danes voted against Maastricht before voting again. The French & Dutch both voted against the EU constitution but rather than risk another vote, came up with a different wheeze. They changed the name to Lisbon treaty and denied their people a vote.

  9. The three centre halves were outstanding today. Vestergaard has really stepped up lately, his horrendous error at Cardiff really behind him now. Romeu & Redmond played really well again, as did JWP. They were poor, shapeless and tactically all over the place but we put them away clinically and then held out. Probably would have drawn 2-2 under Hughes. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  10. So did Johan Cruijff. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  11. I wasn’t saying it was right or wrong, I was just explaining the rational behind the comment . Do try to keep up. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  12. Well said, he’s been a half decent player. Not a great, but pretty decent. Certainly better than some are making out. Doubt I’ll ever see a Saints player picking up a Euro or World Cup winners medal again. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  13. The argument is that large companies are better able to cope with more regulations. A highly regulated economy makes it harder for small business to compete. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  14. If you take no deal off the table, don’t you effectively hand the EU a veto on whether we leave or not. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  15. Did you watch Portillio & Alan Johnson take apart some Tory birds second referendum pitch. Although she was fit, she got schooled by those two. Portillio although a Brexiteer, was against a vote stating beforehand that in a parliamentary democracy a party advocating leaving in their manifesto was the way to leave, and Johnson ran Labour Remain campaign, so these aren’t ERG types. Anyway the point they stumped her on was the question, Remain or ?. What was the “Leave “ option. It couldn’t be May’s deal because that couldn’t get through the house and was so heavily defeated that a few tweaks still wouldn’t get it through. Remain politicians claiming no deal is Armageddon with people dying, food shortages, medicines running out, hundreds of thousands of jobs being lost, etc etc, ruled that out. How can you seriously say all that, and then say “but you can vote for that if you want”. They’ve all been piously stating their working in the national interest to vote down May’s deal or stop no deal. They haven’t said no deal is the worst option but I’m sure we’ll be fine, but worse off. They’re saying things that if they believe are true, can not be contemplated as an option. So this only leaves another deal or a major change to May’s deal. In either case it’ll need EU approval, but also be able to pass in Parliament. If it can pass in Parliament the impasse has been cleared, negating the need for a “people’s vote”. Remember, those supporters are claiming they’re not trying to re run the original referendum just throwing it back to the people because parliament can’t get a deal through. By putting the Leave option on a second ballot, they’re showing that a version of Leave can get through. So why need a new vote. Of course they’ll then have to pivot to telling the truth, that they actually want to reverse the decision. Johnson then claimed Leave would win and win by more in that case. It was the best anti “people’s vote” analysis I’ve heard. Didn’t go down the anti democratic line, just pointed out the flaws in her “throw it back to the people because parliament is log jammed” line. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  16. I thought he grew into the game pretty well and gave us something different. Don’t know whether he’ll make it or not, that’s for the professionals to decide but now is his time to make a mark . Apart from Ings, he’s not really got particularly good players blocking his path to the side. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  20. Labour’s position is confusing to say the least, but their negotiating position appears to be this. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  21. He’ll sit down with the IRA without them ruling out blowing up innocent people, but won’t sit down with May unless she rules out “no deal”. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  22. The Times saying he’s only got till Jan 30th to take control of Brexit. Fixed term parliament act mandates 14 days after loss of confidence vote before GE can be called unless he can form Government. Although DUP might vote down May, they won’t vote for Jezza, so he won’t have the numbers. He’ll need a week to pass legislation before the leave date, and they claim there’s mandated minimum length a campaign can be. All added together, it means Jan 30th equates to polling day of March 21st. Anything after that means he misses the Brexit cut off. I just hope for his sake that Abbott isn’t calculating the cut off day for him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

  24. Some sources reporting this morning that Corbyns tactics will be a series of confidence votes. The reason is two fold 1; it stops him having to back a “people’s vote” rerun, and 2; he’ll eventually win one. Finally he’s worked out that the only way the DUP will vote down the Government is if a deal they’re unhappy with passes. If they’re happy with one then maybe he’ll get enough Tory turncoats to vote their own Government down. Either way, he’s got more chance than he has today. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
  25. Problem he’s got is the party policy is to try a GE, and then people’s vote. Had Corbyn not called one, he’d have come under massive pressure from his grassroots. It’s not about winning a confidence vote (because they know they won’t win one) it’s about ticking that box, so they can move onto people’s vote. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
