that 'we' comprises about 30 MPs out of 650, practically all are conservative MPs.

so you think it's OK to wipe out 55,000 farmers.

he is wrong on quite a few points. self sufficiency is a myth. Even on foodstuff like lamb where we can in principle be self sufficient, due to seasonal nature of farming and requirements of food retail, about half of our production is exported and we import also about half of our consumption...

where is OxygenJames on this?

if those two million people are asked to vote in a similar referendum, they'll vote out. The SM needs a social component. the EU needs to do something about this and urgently.

Max Gammon, is it his real name? :p

indeed. Here is the UK trade balance for the last 10 years. We've been constantly in the red. The last time we were in the black was in the early years of Tony Blair PMship. Can't pay won't pay? How are we paying for it if we don't get foreign direct investment? The threat of no deal, albeit...

10 DUP MPs against Labour's 14 MPs who have made personal pledges to their constituencies and will vote for May's deal, TM can forget the DUP for a minute. As for the merit of May's deal, there is no surprise, she will take a loss against betting the farm (the tory party retaining power). The no...

Nothing new, Farage's approach has always been whipping up hatred for the EU. He did manage to get about 27% of the votes in the last EP, so his is a tried and tested strategy.

she may have to. the ERG has always maintained that the EU has 'form' to blink at the 11th hour. That claim needs to be tested to prove them right or wrong. If the EU blinks first, the problem is solved, the ERG will replace TM with their man (JRM or BJ) by Christmas. The UK will be heading for...

she does not have much choice. her duty and instinct are to keep the tories together. She needs the ERG and DUP to support government bills when they go to the HoC. Her government cannot survive if one of these two factions vote against her bills. In the past, the threat of losing power to...

nothing wrong with tripes. 'tripes a la mode de caen' is quite tasty, eaten with proper French 'baguette de tradition'. don't forget to serve a 'trou normand' before the next course.

Barclays is moving £166bn worth of assets from London to its Irish division. That's the effect of the ERG.

it's not practical to transport lettuce from Kenya to the UK.

it's not something that I would want to buy or sell, but I am curious about why you want that feature? As far as I can see, these controllers 'detune' the phase of the current to reduce the magnetic flux, the effect is similar to when you go from motor winding code 11 for example to winding code...

that's correct. the EU wants to tackle/banish the most visible and segregate treatment of EU citizens in the past. that's why it will not yield on the principle of FOM.

No, I don't think so. In any case, you have space, you can assemble from SKD if you want to. I managed to bring down the cost of re-assembly a lot since last July, it's no longer a problem. The only hassle I have is with the shipment of batteries. You'll get into trouble if you ship them in LCL.

I don't buy that argument, Danidl. It's an important part of the WA in case one side decides to prolong the trade negotiation beyond the IP but ultimately, Westminster can decide to withdraw from it if it does not contain a sunset clause. What can the ROI do in that case?

it is very unlikely that we will never do a deal with the EU. In any case, the backstop can only function with cooperation of both sides of the border. the backstop argument is whipped up by the ERG to justify their claim that the UK is a victim.

even if it's no deal, practically all MPs want a transition period. I don't know if you have read Kit Malhouse compromise. Basically, tory MPs agree with each other that: a) TM should try to replace the backstop b) in case the EU insists that the backstop is replaced by a front stop, they agree...
