Brexit.

The government seems to be able to find money very easy these days.  Are they borrowing again?  It seems Corbin would ruin the economy.

What a ridiculous statement.

Just looking at the betting odds.

October 2019 as the month of next general election: 11/10
November 2019 aa the month of next general election: 7/4
2nd referendum: 12/1
No 2nd referendum: 1/33
Tories get most seats at next election: 4/9
No-deal Brexit: 20/10

Prior to this week, PP were quoting I think 4/6 against a No-deal Brexit with odds having shortened to a real low of 6/5 for.
Then Tuesday night they went 4/11 against and 15/8 for.
Yesterday evening they were 3/10 against, 23/10 for.
Now, following House of Lords assent they are 1/5 against, 3/1 for.
Hopefully that trend continues.

His own brother has walked away from him now. Jo Johnson stepped down as Minister and MP. Do people seriously think this piece of shit can win a GE?

Yes some people think he can. Brexit is a political civil war.

You've got to hand it to him. In 1 week he's managed to split the country, Parliament, his Party and now his family

Never underestimate racist England - at the end of the day they only need to win Engerland to get power.

[magpie seanie]

Except for the damage it would do to us I'd nearly say - if they vote for this then they deserve all that's coming to them.

If Farage doesn't get into bed with the Tories in the GE then anything is really possible tbh, it certainly wont be a normal GE. Farage is as much an egotistical narcissist as the rest of them so he'll very likely not do a deal with them.

Johnston is also an egotistical ballbag so hopefully their ego's mean they split the vote but unfortunately that tosser cummings will ensure all brexiteer votes will be maximised.

How is it the dickhead brother always wins the votes!

Labour and the Lib Dems and the SNP have to do likewise in a GE. Come back, form a government, get a soft Brexit deal and put it to the people, for once and for all a CLEAR choice - take the deal or remain. Everyone bar the Brexiteers gets what they want or something they can stomach. Plus neither option destroys people's lives for years.

There was an interesting comment made by Moggies sister on Newsnight last night.

she said that the Brexit party which she's a member of, would not enter into an election pact with the Tories unless they stated that a No Deal Brexit was their main goal.

If Boris actually comes out and says he wants a No Deal Brexit then I think he's a goner and won't win the GE.

He needs to keep the illusion up that he's wanting a deal to keep a lot of the electorate onside.

The solution is already here

Border between norway and Sweden Is technology based. Over 1300 lorries pass through it a day without any issues. Waiting time is 20 minutes. People are hell bent on finding faults instead of looking at what the EU already has in place with other countries.

Ugh.

How long do you think it'd be before the dissidents decided to "free Ireland" by destroying the number plate recognition cameras?
Or attacking the customs posts there would need to be on the main routes?

It's the only sane thing to do for their constituents!
