This was the statement made by Jeremy Corbyn following the Commons vote: Labour has demonstrated that we respect the result of the referendum by voting to begin negotiations to leave the EU, with the overwhelming majority of Labour MPs supporting our party’s position. In recent weeks, Labour...

Vox Political have this today: http://voxpoliticalonline.com/2017/02/09/planned-no-confidence-vote-in-commons-speaker-john-bercow-shows-how-out-of-touch-tories-are/ The tories turn upon one of their own because he spoke the truth about a fascist - whatever next? Tom

Are there no depths to which this fascist government will sink in order to railroad through their 'Brexit' plan? The tone from tory right-wingers seems to have taken on a sinister, new dimension with a threat to abolish the H of L if the occupants there fail to do their 'patriotic duty'. I am...

As consecutive governments have contrived to mess up the vehicle taxation scheme, costing a huge loss to the exchequer, that has to be retrieved somehow. Increasing income tax is never popular with the voting public, so it will be the turn of the diesel vehicle to become the pariah of the...

Trump's people put out this: A woman who was in Paris at the time said this: Dear Mr Trump, thank you for your concern. A man has indeed attacked a soldier with two machetes this morning in Paris. It wasn't in the Louvre Museum, it was in the Carrousel du Louvre, which is a mall. (Less...

This is my favourite news story today: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-38884762 Tom

I agree that the EU will quickly get over the UK's departure and far from disintegrating, it will move forward happy to be free of our idiot representatives in Brussels. We already know that they have the banking matters in hand and London will lose large parts of the business it does currently...

Ah yeah but!.......we could take a leaf out of Nye Bevan's book and send them all down the pits to dig coal and then we wouldn't have to buy it in from Poland and Germany so.......oh, hang on! .......I think I just found the flaw in that proposition.:oops: Tom

Further to my comment about matters in the US, the Labour group going by the name, 'Momentum', has posted this on their website: Tom

As the nation is propelled towards 'Brexit' by the most unscrupulous people in the UK, the web blogger, 'JJDO' has drawn attention to the evil that is capitalism, as represented by the tory party in the UK. These are the words of Robert Tressell and he describes tory politics perfectly here...

There is a whole lot of unrest in the USA at the moment and my American friends tell me much of it goes unreported. No surprise there, I guess! It seems that more and more groups of people are turning against Trump daily so there are interesting times ahead. Apparently, this has become the...

As there appears to be no economic justification for 'Brexit', no strategic benefit and our currency has plummeted since last June, it seems that the only measurable growth we have witnessed since then is in overt racism. The tory party, their media wing and their ultra-right comrades-in-arms...

Blimey! I didn't realise things were so bad that we can't make our own laws any more. I must do an internet search and try to discover when that occurred. Tom

Democracy is a strange thing. I'm sure all of us could manipulate constituency borders in the UK to ensure a particular result in general elections. I'm surprised, in fact, that no-one's ever thought of that. Oh, hang on....... Tom

Excellent! :D Tom

Ok, I may not read the mainstream press thoroughly any more but I seem to have missed this news - perhaps it was there and I just didn't see it? This seems to me like dangerous ground but I am not surprised; when people vote for fascists this is what history shows we can expect...

Somehow D8ve, I don't think there will be optional stylistic variations from which to choose! Tom
