    Brexit, for once some facts.

    JC Juncker said that David Cameron didn't expect he would win outright in 2015. His win set off a chain of events that will ultimately cost the EU and the UK dear. In many ways, both the UK and the EU would be financially better off if TM fails to get her deal ratified by our parliament.

    it's 78cm from ground to the top of the normal saddle. I can fit low profile saddle to bring it down to 76cm, level with the rear rack.

    Help! Small step through frame

    don't worry about a smaller frame. At your height (5ft2), you can have both balls of your feet touching the ground at the same time on the Petite.

    I pay google, Ebay and Paypal in Luxembourg, Bing in Ireland. If the UK wants to tax them, how do you think the UK will do that?

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I don't think we can tax google, FB, Amazon, Ebay, Paypal etc any more than we can tax JRM's Somerset Capital funds as they simply upstick and move to Dublin and ownership to some offshore tax haven. It has to be done by organisations as large as the EU or the USA.

    ukip: up 6.1% Plaid: up 2.5% LibDems: up 2.4% Greens: up 2.8% anti-brexit total: 7.7% against 6.1%. The most notable feature is total vote of the two major parties: 71%, down 20.7%. That means hung parliament at the next GE.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    look at the result of the by-election in South Wales last Thursday. Conservatives share of the vote down 8%. That will kill brexit if the trend is confirmed in the next GE. Voters have never been better informed about excesses of both ERG conservatives and JC's socialist party. Current polls put...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    that may be the best way out. the margin in the last referendum was so small, we shouldn't rush ahead to unpicking 47 years of gradual integration (Eurovision, Channel Tunnel, EHIC, CU, SM, free roaming), and proceed with extreme caution as a stop loss policy. edit: and I forgot to add General...

    Imagine 10 years from now, Prime Minister the honourable JRM takes us back to the EU. What would he say? I thought you knew what brexit was all about.

    You replace the cast: - Mathilde (the woman who has always imagined she is aristocratic): Theresa May (brexiters) - her husband: David Cameron - her rich friend Madame Forestier: Jacob Rees Mogg - the ball: G7 meeting - the department where her husband worked: the EU Commission - the necklace...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I was about 12 or 13 years old when I read Guy de Maupassant's 'La parure' (it's known as 'The Necklace' ). The story was about a middle class woman who has always imagined herself as an aristocrat. One day, she and her husband were invited to a ball. She feared of being embarrassed seeing that...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    to honour a commitment made by David Cameron. However, the way we honour that commitment has to be left to parliament where the interest of the country needs to come first.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    if you look at the swing, the 2.6% swing from Labour to Conservatives in Newport West is only notional. Conservatives down 8%, Labour down 12.7%, Ukip up 6.1%, the rest (12.7 + 8) - 6.1 = 14.6% went to the remainer camp (LibDems, Cymru, Greens). That's the real swing. If translated to national...

    who won this argument? JRM: We could veto any increase in the budget, obstruct the putative EU army and block Mr Macron’s integrationist schemes. LBC's James O'Brien: "We were told for several years that the European Union is an institution over which we exercise next to no influence...
