It would also require those sitting MEPs to be willing to continue sitting. I have not the slightest idea what opinions they might have on the matter but would be somewhat surprised if every single one agreed in the situation described.

Greenland is not (and was not) a country - but a self-governing territory of Denmark. [I had to look it up to check.]

There is an exquisite irony – apparently lost on May and her advisers in their No 10 bunker – that she thinks it’s absolutely fine to keep bringing back her meaningful vote until she gets the outcome she desires, while publicly decrying remainers’ appeals for a second plebiscite...

Crap, isn't it. Partner will almost certainly never drive my car. But it is better for her to be insured. No possibility of insuring someone else, is there? Random stranger or neighbour? Or would that not produce a "discount".

I have been wondering if ever they foresee the sun rising...

And there was I thinking he preferred to be paid in Euros. :D

It actually feels like three years since the last vote on TM's deal.Let alone some referendum thing...

An omen, a portent, ... WWII bomb found at Brexit-plan lorry park Manston Airport https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-kent-47577930 :):)

The wattage of vacuum cleaners had become a sales claim way beyond meaning. The companies were encouraged, by competitive forces, to produce cleaners with ever increasing wattages. I am minded also of things like stick blenders which also keep increasing their headline wattages. But at the same...

Add in the tendency for lamp life to be greater. And electricity consumption to be lower. And the difference in purchase cost gets rather whittled away. (It obviously isn't the same lamp that now costs £4 as against 30p.) Also, everything else has gone up, especially recently, with brexit...

Pointing out a proportion of the electorate that is, for whatever reason, not fitted to vote does not mean that we can identify them in a rational and morally justifiable way and then exclude them from voting. Let's face it, the reason could be as transient as having had a beer or two more than...

The leavers don't have to attack remainers, they seem to do a good job themselves: Jacob Rees-Mogg was raising a point that he raised with Geoffrey Cox, when the attorney general made his statement to MPs earlier (see 1.29pm), in his intervention a few minutes ago. (See 6.57pm.) Rees-Mogg...

Keep getting things wrong while they appear to support you, Esther. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47523168

Over the past few days I have been reading some of the posts on some very pro-brexit threads elsewhere. It is deeply depressing that there is such antagonism towards those who continue to wish to remain. After all, as many times mentioned, those who wish to leave have said how much they would...

The HoC can also act swiftly. But it can also get prevented from doing so, at least temporarily, when someone like Christopher Chope objects despite every other member present being in favour.

Professor Richard Toye, historian at the University of Exeter and GW4 community lead, said: “This project explores the development of 20th century British general election manifestos and addresses and emerges from a GW4 collaborative research community. Our focus is on what these sources reveal...

And another brexit cracker... No-deal Brexit 'could bring return of low-welfare egg imports' Farming and industry groups seek government assurances for consumers and UK farmers https://www.theguardian.com/food/2019/mar/10/brexit-egg-imports-return-welfare-farming-industry
