The Sun revealed that Mr Corbyn had boasted of a sharing dinner with Hamas in 2010 - despite their violence against Jews and denial of the Holocaust.
But the veteran lefty, fighting off an antisemitism storm engulfing his party, tried to distance himself from the controversy by claiming he did not remember the meal.
During a visit to Scotland in August he told reporters: “A takeaway dinner? I don’t remember any takeaway dinners.”
But new footage published by The Sun today shows him declaring the meal was “very nice of them and a quite a nice gesture”.
Idiots like Batten have no idea how the armed forces actually work. eg 8 Squadron RAF while nominally being part of 1 Group actually reports directly to an American two star based in Germany.

Geilenkirchen NAEW&CF is a NATO not US base. It's CO is alternately German and American.

Trump will probably deliver what they want. Something like 70% of the german public dont want US bases in Germany any more.
He's been constantly touring the country on some sort of internal democracy crusade.
Tell me this isn't going to go somewhere. If it is possible Williamson would be worse than Jezza.
He looks like the grisly henchman of a Bond villain and is obviously compensates for being as thick as fuck with ruthless drive. It would be good to have a vegan PM though.
[As an aside, 'vegetarian' was rather more loosely defined back then. In the same way vegetarians now may eat fish, kidney could be eaten, for example].
Has everyone seen the clip on social media of Yasmin Dar, who came top of the NEC vote, applauding and lauding the Islamic Revolution in Iran?
Apparently this is normal.
Truly we have jumped the shark and smashed through the Overton window.
The Far Left and Islamists have a lot in common and, because the latter hate the West, America, Israel, Jews and liberalism, the Far Left consider them friends.
So not a surprise at all.
It's what explains Far Left feminists describing the burqa as empowering and turning a blind eye to the rampant misogyny towards and abuse of women in countries/places where Islamists are in power.
That article is pretty definitive (not least because it's exactly what I've been saying for many months!). Also note the final paragraph:
As for a revamped EEA seen as « an interim step » of a few years for the UK before becoming a third State vis-à-vis the EU, it would politically be even less realistic. Why would EEA members take the risk to open a difficult negotiation with the EU which could lead them to lose their current advantages?
Talk of the EEA as a solution is for the birds, even more so the daft idea that we could unilaterally fall into it, or arrogantly treat it as a one-night stand.

Er, no. Vegetarians may not eat fish. That would make them pescatarian.

I can remember (and it doesn't seem THAT long ago to me) when Far Left feminists used to do their nut about how women were treated in Saudi Arabia, and dress was a big part of their criticism. It's quite amazing to see the 180 degree change of view that has taken place on that issue for some people.

It could been an option, if the BOOers and Leavers had proposed it and the referendum confirmed it, but it's not an option now - it's far too late to start the long process, even if there were majority support for it.
Politically of course it's a non-starter, given that Freedom of Movement would be part of the deal exactly as before.
Corbyn was paid handsomely by the same government who pay some of their other agents to enforce these punishments against homosexuals:

It is the clock which has reduced the options down to, pretty much, Chequers. Ain't no other proposal on the table.
Of course that doesn't mean that Chequers is itself practical. If it's not, then as far as I can see the only remaining option is some kind of loose commitment to a Canada-style FTA, and let the car manufacturing and aerospace industries go hang themselves.

We don't really need a political declaration on the future relationship at all. There's nothing to stop the Withdrawal Agreement being agreed without one. Of course it would mean we'd leave and the clock would immediately start ticking again, but there we are.

I must confess I've always wanted the UK to rejoin EFTA and to begin that process the day we formally leave the EU.
Britain's return would revamp the EFTA organisation and allow it to become a counterweight to the EU. I also wanted us to negotiate Swiss-style bilateral treaties with the EU under Article 50 but that was clearly well beyond the wit and wisdom of this current shower of as Government which hasn't been prepared to do the working or the thinking to make it happen.
In a few years time, HS2 will have replaced 'White Elephant' in common parlance.
The head of the northern section of HS2 is to quit as it emerged that legislation to build the line to Manchester and Leeds would be delayed by a year.
Paul Griffiths, managing director of phase 2 of the £56 billion project, will leave HS2 at the end of the year. He is the latest in a string of senior personnel to leave the government-owned company that is building the line. The previous chief executive resigned at the end of 2016 and this summer a new chairman was appointed.
Get your popcorn ready. Don't forget that the election of Willsman is opposed by MOMENTUM. On Facebook there were a lot of people publicly resigning their memberships of Momentum and asking how they get the traitor Lansman out.
This is why I oppose reselection UNLESS it is voted for by members via a trigger ballot. A democratisation of the trigger ballot is logical - have it one member one vote for all members of the CLP. But if they vote to reselect then no open selection is needed.
What a forced reselection means is that each CLP with a sitting MP descends into organise warfare for a couple of months as the cult tries to remove any Red Tory MP who has slighted them. People like Anna Turley or Stephen Kinnock would walk reselection when it comes down to actual votes of actual members. But the pressure applied and the hatred and bile will be awful. Yes, even more awful than the Downing Street / Boris war...

The Wannsee Conference.....

Homebase closures mean more.
Also no one tell Batten about the Imperial War Cabinet.

But don't let maths stop you ranting
Everything else is just Brexiteer fantasies....

Chris is a bit too left wing for me but I am in favour of open selection so I think I will pop in.
