    Brexit, for once some facts.

    re-establish clause 4 using the same money tree that TM used to buy the DUP's support. quote: To secure for the workers by hand or by brain the full fruits of their industry and the most equitable distribution thereof that may be possible upon the basis of the common ownership of the means of...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    may be not much pain. TM would do everything to get a transition period which is a kind of putting the UK in a stasis chamber. She will only have to figure out then how to kick the can a little further until 2022 GE. JC will be too old then to be a threat.

    don't underestimate their unity when it comes to not to call a new GE. As long as TM can kick the brexit can further down the road, they'll keep her in the job.

    May's fighting talk: "There's a plan on the table from us ... If they have issues with it, let's hear what those issue are," Faisal Islam of Sky posted an interesting backgrounder: https://news.sky.com/story/chucking-chequers-misses-the-point-of-brexit-hold-up-11507154 She had attempted to say...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I watched Andrew Marr interviewed him yesterday. His body language seems to be 'remainer' while answering about the second referendum - it could well be that he's opportunistic, sensing which way the wind blows. It is clear that if there is fresh GE, he can, if circumstances demand, offer a...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I assume their calculation is not to offer Labour up as a target for the right wing press on a new front, let the tories fight between themselves. The tories plan B is the Canada plan. I wonder how long before the DUP pipes up and tells them where to go with that plan.

    TSDZ2 36V 250 WATTS for a trike build or stick with bbs01

    I followed with interest the TSDZ2 for about 2 years and fitted a 36V 250W TSDZ2 about a year ago to one of our test bikes. I rode it only a little then took it off mainly because of the popularity of the BBS01B was very well established, there was no point for us in trying to support two...

    it may. That's a real problem for remainers. TM may call one in October/November to avoid a leadership contest. Until voters experience real brexit, the next referendum can be manipulated by rich people with vested interest like the last one.

    be careful what you wish for. It seems we are heading that way.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I believe in responsible and efficient government that is underpinned by one person one vote but I think democracy as a yardstick is a bit overrated. If there is a second referendum right now, voters are still very much split in the middle. The fantasy of sovereignty is not going to be...

    promising a referendum is vote winning, delivering it is not.

    TM bought time by hitting back at the EU. That stops BJ throwing rocks at her until the end of the month. Canada: that is OK for the EU but not NI. It won't pass the HoC.

    he is a lot better than TM. He supported a second referendum, single market and customs union.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    JH is possibly the most intelligent and educated minister in TM's cabinet at the moment. Politically, he has support from both both sides of the conservative party - a dark horse who is likely to replace TM like John Major replacing MT before him. I can see Hunt and Gove as the next tory team.

    Li-ion Charger recommendations

    no, don't do that. Lithium ion batteries need to be charged at constant current first, then when the battery is 90%+ full, switch over to constant voltage to finish. The BMS rebalances the cell pack when the battery is 99% full. Typically, Lithium Nickel Cobalt Aluminum Oxide cells need at least...

    Evans Cycles is urgently seeking a buyer

    Evans shop in Chesterton Road used to be my favourite bike shop in Cambridge although I seldomly bought anything from them. The showroom was suberb, lots of very nice kits on display including a whole section devoted to Brompton. It was clearly elitist and successful I also frequented their shop...
