    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I suppose zlatan infers that the apples never fall far from the tree. Piers and JC have many things in common as far as political activities are concerned before JC became MP. Anti-establishment and rebellious. However, JC seems to be a little lazier than his older brother. If you continue on...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    there is no way that a conservative government can bring home an EFTA deal. You'd need an earthquake for that. So the deal that can be done is very much between Chequers, Canada and no deal. Even a no deal will have to have practical arrangements for food, medicine, energy and transport to be...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Sky poll: if there is a second referendum, people would now vote to remain in the EU over a no-deal Brexit by 55% to 45%. https://news.sky.com/story/sky-data-poll-56-think-brexit-will-be-worse-than-expected-11511870main. However, there is still no overall majority in a 3 way vote: deal (15%)...

    it will be alright on the night. Lessons will be learned, we'll make progress, we'll improve more slowly and we're still an independent country.

    it has been predicted that tens if not hundreds of millions of insurance contracts may be affected if the UK leave without a deal.

    Which frame?

    step though frames are on average about 500grs heavier but certainly not less strong, at least for most of us, ordinary pedallers. So if you like the upright, relaxed riding position then go for it.

    They have the IEA model (DD) and now the BJ model. The ERG will start fighting among themselves next week. It must come as a comfort to remainers who want a second referendum.

    when asked by the BBC how he feels about brexit before the vote: 7 out of 10 to remain. If he had to vote again, I reckon it will be the same, 7 out of 10 for remain.

    brexit farce: if TM comes back with a Chequers deal, 50 tory ERG MPs are going to vote against it. If TM comes back with a Canada deal, 40 tory remainers are going to vote against it (Amber Rudd just said it). if TM comes back without a deal, it will be total chaos.

    the following chart shows a huge increase in invalidity claimants during the Tories years 79 to 95. Since then, successive governments, both conservative and labour, managed to reduce the percentage. Still, it's amazing that at some moment in time, 28% of 60-64 years old men claimed. No country...

    We have about 3% structural, endemic, budget deficit because of the first past the post voting system. I can't see that structural deficit disappear in my lifetime regardless of who is in power. For that, we constantly need that deficit to be filled by direct foreign investment. Foreign...

    it's just click bait. TM's cabinets is full of completely incompetent ministers, given the job because of their part in bringing about the brexit votes, such as David Davis, Liam Fox, Boris Johnson, Chris Grayling, Pretti Patel, Esther Mc Vey, Penny Mordaunt etc. I am not saying that the rest is...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    I reckon JC will go through with the transition period, he has two years to test his economic ideas (BTW, not that far from the Libdems') while negotiating with the EU for frictionless access to the SM for goods. The EU will say no because that will weaken their SM rules. JC will then be forced...
