On topic. I don't think Giuliani would knowingly lie about the document not being signed - so that means that Trump lied to him. Not surprising because the Donald behaves like a young child who always lies to try and avoid getting into trouble. Surely Giuliani will walk at some point because of this? Given Giuliani's seniority, I think that would be a tipping point in Trump's chances of the Republican nomination.
The important thing is to have a control dial rather than arguing about what the setting on the dial might be at any one time.
As we should know by now what Mrs May promises or pledges and what she does are two different things. The target is meaningless and has never come close to being met. Indeed despite being supposedly tough on immigration Mrs May presided on arguably the highest levels of net immigration to our country in its history as Home Secretary - she does a few gimmicks and grabs a few headlines - with often shocking outcomes such as Windrush - but the fundamentals don't actually change.
The main problem with our immigration system and its administration is that it is frankly shambolic.
Do we want just about making ends meet in Sheffield migrants - or those who will be significant net contributors or are highly skilled to fill jobs we really need as a society (e.g nurses not baristas).
Nurses err... start on less than 30k.
Stop bringing facts into a debate about immigration.
And nurses are skilled people and we are short of nurses - and we really do need nurses so in reality the government will need to move on the £30k cap for some professions. Maybe the issue is of course we don't pay nurses enough compared to many other western nations!
The Canadians, Aussies, Kiwis and others have been doing this all for years so its hardly rocket science. They maintain a list of skilled and shortage occupations - if you meet the criteria then you get the skilled visa. Salary is important but it clearly shouldn't be the only criteria.
Of course - but we have a separate policy for people from 30 or so other nations which doesn't differentiate between a brain surgeon and an unemployed man with five kids in terms of access to living in the UK permanently.
If you could apply our skilled migrant policy consistently and equally irrespective of the passport the person holds but on the skills they have you would have a better functioning system.

Giuliani has been spouting all kinds of nonsense recently, so I wouldn't assume he is a model of veracity either.
(1) The Republican Establishment knows that Trump bring voters to the party that others wouldn't. Now, he also repels (apparently) some suburban well off Republicans. But if you look at where Republican House losses came from, a high percentage came from states which Trump lost in 2016 anyway (NJ, NY, CA, IL). On the other hand, the establishment knows any new Republican candidate is unlikely to repeat Trump's wins in places like Michigan and Wisconsin. And they won the Senate seat in FL and did reasonably well in Ohio.
The Republicans didn't do that well in Ohio at the midterms - Sherrod Brown was only a few hundred thousand votes behind where Trump got in 2016 which is almost unprecedented. (And Wisconsin was even worse: the winning Democrat's vote count would have been enough to beat Trump.)
The Dem performance in the Rust Belt should be giving the Republican's nightmares.
Trump's vote was unbelievably efficient. But the price of efficiency is a percentage point of swing and he loses everything.
We are absolutely fucked unless some politicians become statesmen and put the national interest ahead of petty party shit in the next six weeks.
The history books will slaughter this generation of clowns and public school non-entities.
The last 24 hours are like a bad dream and you hope you will wake up
All our politicians are a disgrace and need to grow up fast and stop this madness
There are 2 solutions.
Accept TM deal or revoke A50 and quite frankly I do not care which, but just get it done
The worst of it is that when Parliament resumes we are going to have a week of MPs reading out the press releases they intend to send to their local paper, to a nearly empty chamber, with no-one else listening, simply repeating over and over points that have been made in the debate already. And we will have to sit through it all none the wider as to the outcome.

It's always seemed very hard to see, threading the parliamentary needle etc. And yet ..... the government hasn't looked panicked. I've had a hunch for a while they have something up their collective sleeve.
Quite how you square the NI circle I've no idea though - it's not like there are fresh ideas out there from the legal/academic worlds that just need picked up.
I don't think remain Tory MPs thought through their actions properly when they gave May another 12 months. She has the hide of a rhino and will cling on to power like a superglued barnacle.
I disagree with those indignant at the delay to the 'meaningful vote'. Quite apart from any other considerations, it gives MPs time to educate themselves about the impact on the UK of the EU's contingency plans for No Deal (also known by the oxymoron 'managed no deal').
Oh, I thought this was all worked out already and it was all just project fear *innocent face*.
Although I suspect a healthy amount of fudge coming. EasyJet, for example, has been hard at work re-registering 100+ jets to its new Austrian based subsidiary. So as long as the UK unilaterally allows EU airlines to fly to the UK then EasyJet flights will still fly.
But given how cut throat the airline industry is I suspect a circular firing squad tit for tat action to be honest.

Since most of them don't appear to have educated themselves on the actual content of May's Deal, I am not sure we can assume they will spend the time off over Christmas wisely.
Morning all. I would like to flag up what is IMO a neglected aspect of this Brexit crisis and that is the feelings of the “Rotten” and “Treasonous” and “Botched” Deal. What is going on in its head as it hears such things? I think I can tell you. The Deal is getting upset and as a consequence is storing up a grievance towards us here in the UK. It wouldn’t be human if it wasn’t. This is dangerous. It is dangerous because when we end up needing it (so that we can leave the EU) it is going to remember the insults and there will be a price to pay. Not immediately, no doubt it will allow itself to be implemented and play nice for a while, but a day of retribution will come. Perhaps something to do with fish. Yes, I fear so. It will be that. Hit us where it hurts the most. Fish. So I suggest that people (and I mean everyone, not just Richard Burgon) start to mind their language when discussing the merits and demerits of the Deal. Not out of some soft-hearted sense of compassion, but as a matter of pragmatism in the national interest.

How's that going to work out for you, Mr O'Leary?
Ryan Air will almost certainly create a UK subsidiary just as Wizz Air (Hungarian airline) have done.

Really? Which routes? And if that were the case, why would U.K. airlines be stopped doing so?
Because the EU-USA Open Skies agreement is tilted in favour of the US.
And the reason it is tilted in favour of the US is the US has more clout - EU access to the US destinations is vastly important to many EU carriers so the US can demand more in return.
The UK will not have that leverage when tying to negotiate our own access agreement.

Expect the unexpected - in the new session, in the recess, and in what remains of the current session.
You are assuming Theresa May is going to get everything the way she wants.
When is the first opposition day in the new session? The, er, "backstop" would be a Commons VONC in the PM on that day.
I used to have some respect for Anna Soubry until I watched her pour scorn on Jeremy Corbyn, saying he was pants for not tabling a VONC in the government, in which she herself would vote in favour of the government. The interviewer did not ask her the obvious questions "What would that achieve?" and "How would you vote in a VONC in the PM?" Nor did he put it to her that she was calling for a stunt that wouldn't work, that she was trying to have it both ways, and that if she wanted to give advice to the opposition she should join it.
As of now, the best argument against Brexit is that it would put more power in the hands of our MPs.
But we get to choose the MPs clowns every five years.
Fixed it for you
Will we have to be educated in how to vote? Obviously, during our time in the EU, we never had elections every 5 years to choose our clowns because we were never sovereign......
Vast majority of Labour will oppose the deal. DUP, as it stands, opposes the deal. Many Con MPs oppose it and even if most swing behind May, she still doesn't have the numbers.

What was the point in sharing this? The fact that a nation with a population 20x our own is going to overtake us in total GDP should be cause for very modest celebration. Very modest because the standard of living for hundreds of millions of Indians is still absolutely wretched, and malnutrition is worse than in Sub-Saharan Africa.
It will be good when they reach 90%+ literacy. After all, it’s been a priority since 1947.

Which fifth freedom rights are US Airlines exercising?
I don't know - and I'm not going to trawl timetable data to find out if any are. The point is that USA airlines can when your contention was that only EU airlines could.
Thats what you call a "non tariff barrier". It must be reciprocated.
Good Luck with that... the national humiliation is just beginning, and in a way perhaps the kicking that the UK is going to get might actually stir people up to utterly change the system that has allowed this disaster to unfold. If the next election has a "Johnson" and a "Rees Mogg" moment it will be at least some recompense for this catastrophic Tory balls up.
The two major Anglophone countries are deep in the brown stuff due to incompetent Governments. Yet both came to power as a result of an acknowleged democratic process.

....and the UK leaving with No Deal is going to push all of them into recession.

No they aren't. They, the RoI and the UK are supporting the backstop.
Indedd we agreed it a year ago and are now trying to break our word.
The wording of the text doesn’t match what was agreed in December last year
Also, to be fair, May is not “trying to break her word”. It’s debatable whether Parliament actually needs to ratify the treaty, but if it does (either politically or legally) then all May has committed to is to present the treaty to Parliament for their approval
Since 2010 any treaty has to be ratified by Parliament in a straight yes/no vote.
Why all the talk about whether the MV is meaningful then,”?

How do you know? According to the Commons, the opposition dates are announced in the Leader of the House's weekly business statement made on Thursdays. Even as things stand (and things may change), the MV could be on the 10th day of the new sitting. (I confused "session" with "sitting" above.)
