Come on Les you're only watching it because you have a thing for Jo Brand. Angela Rayner looks like Iggy Pop in drag.

Your understanding of the EU makes your claim that Jack Stephens is better than Harry Maguire almost insightful pal

Destroying one childish fantasy after another, Ivan Rogers latest intervention: https://news.liverpool.ac.uk/2018/12/13/full-speech-sir-ivan-rogers-on-brexit/#

You mean that’s why Koeman dropped Tadic and Tadic was pondering a move away before Redmond’s arrival? It’s not enough for you to be thought an idiot. You won’t rest until you’ve proved it. Btw it’s “we WERE set up”.

Got to be fake news.

Keep dreaming. It was not on the ballot pal, however much you try to point to unenforceable comments made by Cameron and co at the height of project fear (which you're all too happy to dismiss). Leavers involved in the referendum campaign also acknowledge this. Here's a nice summary for you: Any response to that pal? You can rage, froth, wail and head bang all you like Les; but the fact remains the leave campaign did not specify, and thus the leave vote could not endorse what Brexit actually meant. That, of course, was entirely deliberate: only by maintaining disparate and contradictory versions of Brexit could leave ever hope to win the referendum. Finally why do you refuse to condemn GM's threats of violence?

Afternoon John. i) I thought you didn't believe in forecasts; ii) If you now do, how much is the UK economy forecast to grow over the same period?

Alternatively they are deeply embarrassed by his views. Probably don’t invite him out in public.

Les, if you have any money left...

Not a great result for May but at least the headbangers and swivels in the ERG have to stfu for 12 months. As for the helmets who paid good money to join the conservative party so they could install a hardliner in an imminent leadership contest

Why do you condone JJ's threats of violence against me?

I hope she wins 52-48% with 72% turnout, so she can declare it the will of MPs for all time. As Hammond says, the vote should flush out the 'extremists' (his words) pushing for a no deal.

Think of removing the thousands of shreds of cabbage that go into an industrial batch of coleslaw and individually piecing them back to make a cabbage whole again. Leaving the EU is complicated pal.

Don't think he was as bad as you claim. Your mate Dunt thinks he did reasonably well. Frankly appeals to parliamentary democracy, as Corbyn made, are pretty abstract and likely to fly above most peoples heads, especially when the reality is that MPs are held in very low regard.

It would help if the press and the club spelt the names of those involved correctly. #goaeffect

Oh dear, GM. Another politician who's wishfully projecting his preferred scenario - haven't you learned after two years that there's no such thing as cakeism. So we have Lord Owen appealing to a case that was thrown of court vs. the government's own legal position, the opinion of leading academics and the views of the former head of the European Council’s legal service, who served as official legal counsel on EU treaties, including Maastricht, Nice and Lisbon. But no JJ thinks it would be a piece of pi $$

And? The government is increasingly under political pressure to listen to parliament. It can freely choose to ignore it -its not a legal obligation as I've repeatedly said- but the political and constitutional fallout would be massive. That's why I don't think government will go down that route. Alas you don't appear to understand the difference between de jure law and de facto political reality, especially in what is purportedly a parliamentary democracy. I know you're eager for a fight as you can't lay a glove on me. But know your limits pal.

Says the same person who boldly claimed the the UK would remain part of the EEA which it could milk for a year while preparing for WTO rules and negotiating FTA's. Nice climbdown

Again you're missing the point. I said that the government would be under extreme pressure politically to listen to Parliament as a result of the amendment which is a real constraint. I didn't say it was a legal obligation.

Clearly you didn't read the article. Even those commentators, including the UK government who think that some EEA rights and obligations fall to the UK -and so would be retained upon leaving the EU- acknowledge that many would be lost. In other words, they would not equate to single market membership in the type of situation you envisage.

Yeh Iain Dale is camping it up on LBC.

A throwaway quote from George Osborne who's obviously a legal expert. This is from Jean-Claude Piris who was director-general of the Council of the European Union’s Legal Service for over 20 years. Who need's Xmas when they have JJ
