Does anyone think any of our current or former brexit negotiators are (or were) competent?

Farage should have a rabies test and will not be allowed anywhere without an insurance green card? Sounds like a start... Hopefully the UK will start this process while he is out of the country.

It is the failure to do this that underlies so much that is wrong. Remember that pre-Poland it could be hard to find a skilled plumber who was available.

So many times we have seen people scoff at suggestions that there will be disruption if no-deal brexit goes ahead. No-deal Brexit could hit UK-EU flights, says Whitehall Papers also show pets would need rabies tests and motorists an insurance green card...

Theresa May calls for immigration based on skills and wealth Key post-Brexit policy to include no preferential access to UK labour market for EU citizens I understand the need/desire to get more dosh here. But I really don't like the idea of selling residency like seats on an airplane. (Guess...

Very pleased to be able to slip into this jacket this morning. 'Twas jolly cold.

The creature who is doing everything he can to remove MY freedoms as in: Free movement of goods Free movement of capital Freedom to establish and provide services Free movement of persons And removing MY status as a citizen of the EU. Careful of what you wish for, BJ, Corbyn could validly...

Some more than others: Nearly $18m in cocaine found in boxes of bananas donated to Texas prison The Texas Department of Criminal Justice said federal officials and US Customs and Border Protection are investigating

And whenever I hear that, I think of this: A little old lady is on a train, buying a ticket from the train conductor, fumbling in a large bag for correct change. After 15 minutes the conductor becomes so enraged that he hits her on the head with the ticket-dispenser, and the poor old lady dies...

Reading between the lines, this story would appear to be directly about brexit in a roundabout sort of way. Will it bring resolution? 'Karma restored': mythical London Stone returns to its City home Quoted by Shakespeare and linked to Brutus, the all-powerful rock is returning to 111...

Of course, if you vote that there shouldn't be a referendum, then you are not allowed to vote on the referendum, surely? :)

Emotionally, I agree. Trouble could be if (say) the brexit people thought they wouldn't win on the day and implored their supporters not to vote. If there is a clear turnout rule, that could be a way of ensuring the referendum fails to deliver any result. In some ways, regular well-conducted...

There have been several GEs since 1975, including since the European cooperation became the EU. The antis had their opportunity to vote against at each and every one of them. Maybe they did? But they did not demonstrate that their viewpoint had the backing of the electorate. I agree that the...

Liked the comments: Range Rover Velar: ‘It feels like the brand’s flagship model’ Designed to fill the space between the Evoque and and the larger Range Rover Sport, the exceptional Velar comfortably exceeds its brief John Webb 1h ago I will use my Brexit Bonus to purchase one...

I hope they don't try to assert Intellectual Property rights over brexit. It is intellectually bankrupt so there can't be any IP rights. As for moral rights...

I'd be willing to pay for her to disappear...

Another major problem with referendums is how changes in demography and of minds can be incorporated. I have heard a number of people saying how a second referendum on brexit would be undemocratic (as we all have) but none can explain how one referendum binds the government forever into the...

What a lovely bunch... Katie Hopkins to speak at far-right rally with Holocaust denier The former reality TV star will share a stage with Islamophobes and other extremists at For Britain conference...

There would almost certainly be more votes cast in a referendum than for any party in a GE. :):):):)

So what on earth is he doing in the cabinet of a government that is anti-second referendum, anti-single-market, anti-customs union and seeming to do everything it can to ensure a dismal outcome?
