It does?!
To think I was criticised on Sunday for calling these leavers 'Hardline'

Your nearest university might not excel in the discipline you're interested in whilst excelling at others.

The so-called "hard brexit" the ERG are after is a sort of mid-Brexit. It's certainly harder that the government currently wants, but not so far off that it cannot be fairly easily accommodated.
The reason it can be accommodated is that it is evident that the principles at stake don't quite match up to the practice. So for example, they might want an end to regulatory oversight from Brussels: but are they really concerned with the European Medicines Agency? Or course not.

I had a break in Durham/Chester Le Street a few weeks ago, lovely part of the world.
Why did he not just laugh it off - he hasn't a clue
Well, yes. It's more "leave" than the government is. But it's not a hardliner's manifesto. Remember JRM is calling for no transition (last time I checked).
But, if you can't afford to live without moving back in, why move out in the first place?
What is wrong with these men
Mr Johnson is understood to have been referring to the complex Brexit negotiations rather than the British decision to leave the bloc, which he campaigned for in the referendum.
During unminuted talks in Berlin, the foreign secretary is alleged by Brussels sources to have urged the Germans to turn Brexit into an economic opportunity.
However, The Telegraph understands he was rebuffed by the German government, which has repeatedly stood behind Michel Barnier and resisted any attempts to go over the European Union chief Brexit negotiator's head.

Thanks for your kind remarks.
Still it is just another part of our crazy politics.
Have a good night as it is getting past this oldies bed time and cup of horlicks !!!!!!
This article makes an interesting point. Although Corbyn had, and still has, a reputation for being hard left, his sympathy wasn't with the Czech state. It was with the dissidents of that state

They have given up on democracy. False consciousness is too powerful. Other means must be found.
Corbyn has his fair share of skeletons, but I think he's on firm ground with the spy claims. Which, I believe, is why he is standing it.

Like a black hole collapsing on itself he will be pushed inwards to an insignificant dot.
Some potential uses of someone like Jeremy Corbyn back in the day
-Conduit for political analysis information
-Conduit to disseminate disruptive information supplied by the intelligence agency
-A 'bring friends' source to our east-west friendship society meetings and tours to the spade making factories of Slovakia. i.e. a conduit to expanding networks
Did he act as any of those? We might well find out.
Any chance he wasn't aware Eastern European officials he met might be working for their home intelligence agencies? Not a fucking chance. So, if he was doing any of the above three to any extent (read 'multiple occasions' or 'regular'), he was doing work for those agencies. The Soviet Bloc agencies have a series of terminologies for those that they target. Agent possibly wasn't one of them but 'contact' for example might have been.
A press free of a handful of tax exiles
Let them dig salt.
'A free press'
You're welcome.
Surely more a case of expecting others to make changes in favour of themselves and following suit
Isn’t that the trick Tyrion Lannister uses in GoT tv series?
Bet they got it from there!
Would be very awkward for Dems if they have to give gun control credit to Trump.
That's worrying, as change can always lead to worse outcomes. In this case, we have some good pointers. The Leveson recommendations - supported and encouraged by Labour - are not going to lead to a freer press. Worse, I don't even hear Corbyn going on about the need for a free press.
But you also have to look closer. Corbyn is complaining about smears. His deputy is Tom Watson. An evil man - and I use that word purposefully - who willingly uses that same media to smear people with sexual abuse allegations whilst wearing a tinfoil-hat - though only about the opposition, not his own side. A man who also wants to mould the media to his party's own advantage.
You may want a media shorn of 'media barons'. I'm unsure that you have fully considered whether this Labour team would replace those owners with something better for the country, or worse.
Watson was someone who wanted Corbyn removed and was not put in place by Corbyn, there is talk of him being replaced or his role weakened but the media is usually full of talk about Corbyn or his supporters up to various deeds to steal power so hard to know how much to read into it.
That said even if Corbyn was a fan of Watson and he was considered the main man the idea that Watson is going to be able to mould the media as he see's fit, even if Labour win a massive majority comes off a bit conspiratorial.
For all his negatives it would be really impressive if he actually makes progress on it.

His own attitude to Labour politicians caught up in rumours and accusations is sadly somewhat different.
And of course Watson will mould the media. He's been leading their campaign over it for years, and he and Corbyn seem step-to-step over the matter. He's their *expert*.
I don't feel very sorry for Corbyn wrt 'smears' whilst he has Watson in any position of authority within his party. If he wants sympathy, he should clean up his own house first.
Corbyn and Watson both want to give the impression of a free press, while preferring the proposals of Max Moseley and Hugh Grant that prevent rich and powerful people from having the truth about them exposed.
That these moves are backed by the NRA tells you all you need to know.
Though ideally he does something, because he is well positioned to do so over a democrat president and then still loses.
Anyway PSBR numbers for January today. Will we have a debt repayment in excess of £10bn? I hope so. No doubt the polls would swing, well not at all, in relation to such a development.
We'll see.
In any event, it's a relatively minor measure in relation to the gun killing problem in the US, which seems less likely to be a crack in the wall of opposition to gun control than a token yielded up as a means of preventing further regulation.
Again, we'll see.
If the numbers are excellent, perhaps the Tories should go for broke and deliver a budget surplus by 2022. It would do wonders for their rating on economic competence.
