Doesn’t that say something about them? Are you really saying that Tories and Leavers do not care about sexual assault?
I am saying unless Boris is arrested and convicted in a court of law this is not sexual assault under the law
It's quite a sticky problem for the Democrats, and particularly Nancy Pelosi, because there's more than positioning for 2020 at stake.
I think Nancy Pelosi has essentially decided impeachment talk does indeed risk solidify Trump's base.
BUT he's not really given them an option. The prima facie case for impeachment is strong and necessitates an inquiry. Even on what the White House has admitted, it's extremely smelly. And they've every reason to try to admit as little as possible - indeed, there are all the signs of a cover up.
If you let it go, you may well still lose in 2020, and you've got another five years of Trump stretching legality and the constitution to and perhaps beyond breaking point. You almost have to look into it to get the White House as a whole (not Trump himself - he's beyond caring) to exercise caution, restraining the Orange One as far as they can.
It's also a constitutional responsibility of Congress to act as a check in this way, whether or not it yields electoral gain (and I think Pelosi is sceptical it will). That's often overlooked. An interesting aspect of the UK Supreme Court ruling which hasn't really cut through, and probably doesn't matter too much electorally, is just that. The most damning part of the judgment was that the PM has constitutional responsibilities (to the monarch and others) transcending electoral considerations and his role as party leader, and that these were simply ignored. So it is in the US - there need to be people saying, "I'm a Congressman and, regardless of electoral consequence, my job is to investigate apparent illegality on the part of the Executive".
I'm not sure the cover up angle will last. Susan Rice has admitted Obama's calls often went on the same secret server as Trumps in the whistleblower complaint and lets not forget that begins with the line 'I was not personally witness to most of the events' This damages Biden and impeachment doesn't get past the Senate. Then 'witchhunt' gathers momentum with the base and right leaners
It doesn't matter too much whether they think the senate will convict. Congress has a duty here, and it'll throw sunlight on the administration. That in itself will have a disinfecting effect.
True. It will also sink Biden and his son
Yep. Lay Biden and back Warren, I’d have thought.
It’s nearly 10C hotter than normal for the time of year here on the Tennessee/Georgia border, and the heat is forecast to continue to the end of the week at least.

That’s not what you said though. You said that Tories and leavers do not care about allegations of sexual assault.
Hard Left Social Democracy is a mixed but mainly market economy with high tax & spend, strong regs, benignly active state, no trident, egalitarian social and educational policy, generally woke, anti US until they see sense and ditch Trump.
No contradiction in terms there.
No that is hard left socialism and Corbyn and McDonnell want a nationalised state dominated economy as the end goal and to defeat capitalism in McDonnell's own words, not even a mixed economy
Can they have that and still be remainers?
No which is why in reality they are not but back a Labour magic Brexit Deal
Unblushing state ownership and control and rules of the EU club would be at odds. So how much of the 52% in 2016 were lefties who want out EU to get a socialist state but never would vote or support Boris or any Tory?

I think HYUFD is trying to say it won't cause them to change their views (of course, it wouldn't be the same for an allegation and conviction of a more serious assault). I doubt they would encourage the behavior, however!
Doesn't really matter, cant be proven either way so it will just be seen as evidence of either impropriety or a witchhunt depending on your view of him as is
But to see it as evidence of a witchhunt rather than of a pattern of wholly improper behaviour requires a lack of brains and/or standards.
Donald Trump may well have a 'base' of such people running into many millions but does Boris?

I morphed government and documents into one to get governments, no wonder I didn’t get a reply. 😶
Serious question though, it would be government that wouldn’t want Boris government elected, what things could they release or put into law?
It depends on what is covered by the 30 year rule and what is not. Mostly it doesn't happen because it doesn't need to but I don't think that there is much which could be released.

We will soon find out, I suppose.
It really doesn't. Hes been accused of a lot. What is he actually guilty of? If allegations start being proven then theres a pattern. Otherwise it's just allegations. No smoke without fire is not a convincing position

Let’s be honest even if Boris was convicted, a proportion of Leavers/Tories would probably say it was the biased/diehard Remainer conspiracy or something.

Boris should sue then.
I think this is a case of "damned if he does, damned if he doesn't". If there is an allegation of an offence, it should be made to the police to be investigated thoroughly. In my opinion that is the fairest way for both the accuser and the accused.
Amber Rudd’s view might not be surprising after her comments about whether you would trust Boris Johnson to drive you home, but she’s hardly lining up a quick return to the Conservative party:

It hard to be confident how much of that Tory lead is down to embarrassed to admit Supporting Labour and still including remain Tories who won’t vote Boris on the day. Pleased to have you around HY to provide that show of confidence.

Have you not read Anthony Crosland''s seminal 1956 book 'The Future of Hard Left Social Democracy'?
GE in November Boris wins a historic 4th term for the Tories and a Tory majority of 30 to 40, Brexit delivered with the WA and NI only backstop passed through the Commons, LDs surge to 50 seats, Corbyn Labour collapse to under 200 seats.
Chuka Umunna then emerges as the new LD leader and next non Tory PM as Labour collapse to third under the leadership of Pidcock or Long-Bailey (who succeed the defeated Corbyn as Labour leader in 2020) at the next general election
We'll file that for future reference, along with your prediction of Boris Johnson achieving a deal, approved by a Northern Ireland referendum, by 31 October.
Do and I have always said it will take a Tory majority for Boris to get his deal through (with confirmatory NI referendum too if needed)
Lovely. It's just that according to you it was all going to have happened by now. Or did I misunderstand?
You misunderstood
Well, I did ask you over andlp. I really would.

It's quite a sticky problem for the Democrats, and particularly Nancy Pelosi, because there's more than positioning for 2020 at stake.
I think Nancy Pelosi has essentially decided impeachment talk does indeed risk solidify Trump's base.
BUT he's not really given them an option. The prima facie case for impeachment is strong and necessitates an inquiry. Even on what the White House has admitted, it's extremely smelly. And they've every reason to try to admit as little as possible - indeed, there are all the signs of a cover up.
If you let it go, you may well still lose in 2020, and you've got another five years of Trump stretching legality and the constitution to and perhaps beyond breaking point. You almost have to look into it to get the White House as a whole (not Trump himself - he's beyond caring) to exercise caution, restraining the Orange One as far as they can.
It's also a constitutional responsibility of Congress to act as a check in this way, whether or not it yields electoral gain (and I think Pelosi is sceptical it will). That's often overlooked. An interesting aspect of the UK Supreme Court ruling which hasn't really cut through, and probably doesn't matter too much electorally, is just that. The most damning part of the judgment was that the PM has constitutional responsibilities (to the monarch and others) transcending electoral considerations and his role as party leader, and that these were simply ignored. So it is in the US - there need to be people saying, "I'm a Congressman and, regardless of electoral consequence, my job is to investigate apparent illegality on the part of the Executive".
I'm not sure the cover up angle will last. Susan Rice has admitted Obama's calls often went on the same secret server as Trumps in the whistleblower complaint and lets not forget that begins with the line 'I was not personally witness to most of the events' This damages Biden and impeachment doesn't get past the Senate. Then 'witchhunt' gathers momentum with the base and right leaners
But it warrants further investigation, surely?
That's exactly my point. It probably doesn't help the Democrats, but the role and duty of Congress is to hold the Executive to account, so there isn't a question here. The starting point is one of duty, not of electoral impact.
We had all this in the leadership campaign, Tories and Leavers just do not care, this is just another attempt to distract and try and prevent Brexit being delivered and stop Boris
Agreed..
I also get fed up of people dragging these things up when it suits them to do so.. I would support anyone who does the correct thing and reports these things to the authorities, not just drag them up as an opportune moment

1) it may have been brought up previously but swept under the carpet 2) why would you not bring it up (again) to the disadvantage to of the person involved? 3) if it's not been brought up before the last week may have prompted them to come forward.
I have to say at the height of the reporting on MP indiscretions eg Fallon thigh squeeze, that nobody reported that Boris came onto them when they werent interested.
Hard Left Social Democracy is a mixed but mainly market economy with high tax & spend, strong regs, benignly active state, no trident, egalitarian social and educational policy, generally woke, anti US until they see sense and ditch Trump.

Unblushing state ownership and control and rules of the EU club would be at odds. So how much of the 52% in 2016 were lefties who want out EU to get a socialist state but never would vote or support Boris or any Tory?

It hard to be confident how much of that Tory lead is down to embarrassed to admit Supporting Labour and still including remain Tories who won’t vote Boris on the day. Pleased to have you around HY to provide that show of confidence.
Ashcroft poll today, Tory Remainers prefer Boris as PM to Corbyn 59% to 4%, Labour Leavers prefer Boris as PM to Corbyn 42% to 23%.
Only 30% of Labour Leavers will definitely vote Labour at the next general election and 55% of Labour Remainers will definitely vote Labour at the next general election.
55% of Tory Remainers by contrast and 70% of Tory Leavers will definitely vote Tory and 60% of LD voters will definitely vote LD, utterly devastating for Corbyn Labour.

I repeat nothing whatsoever unless evidence Boris wants to cancel Brexit
When Corbyn made his “stupid woman” remark at May (that he surely did say) it was said up to that point he is always very polite and respectful. Do you think Liz could come to prefer him as her PM in this situation?
The other reason she would, Corbyn is the only politician left with a brexit policy that is about trying to achieve a compromise.
She could be checking if she can get rid of that dreadful scruffy man who doesnt come to the meetings when invited and wants to abolish her role. If he was ever to become PM.

So no mention at all of this being done without a Tory majority at a general election, thanks for giving full and complete 100% confirmation of what I have just said!
What I said was this: "We'll file that for future reference, along with your prediction of Boris Johnson achieving a deal, approved by a Northern Ireland referendum, by 31 October."
That was 100% accurate. God knows why you're trying to pretend I said anything about a Tory majority.
For the record, I don't think it is dementia - I think you're just a compulsive liar.
As I said a deal would only be done with a Tory majority, if the GE is now in November rather than October that only moves the date it does not change the point
Read it again, and keep reading it till you can understand it, if you are having trouble. This is what I wrote: "We'll file that for future reference, along with your prediction of Boris Johnson achieving a deal, approved by a Northern Ireland referendum, by 31 October."
That was what you claimed, and what I said was 100% accurate.
Of course you've changed your mind now, because it didn't happen!
When Corbyn made his “stupid woman” remark at May (that he surely did say) it was said up to that point he is always very polite and respectful. Do you think Liz could come to prefer him as her PM in this situation?
The other reason she would, Corbyn is the only politician left with a brexit policy that is about trying to achieve a compromise.
Wait, Labour has a Brexit policy? Wasn't there a recent story showing that they rejected their own proposals in a meeting with the government when they were trying to find a way forward?
We'll file that for future reference, along with your prediction of Boris Johnson achieving a deal, approved by a Northern Ireland referendum, by 31 October.
Do and I have always said it will take a Tory majority for Boris to get his deal through (with confirmatory NI referendum too if needed)
Lovely. It's just that according to you it was all going to have happened by now. Or did I misunderstand?
You misunderstood
Well, I did ask you over andlp. I really would.

As the very quote you found shows I said 'By passing the Withdrawal Agreement by WINNING A TORY MAJORITY, removing the temporary Customs Union for GB which May imposed not Barnier and let Northern Ireland voters decide on the backstop which Barnier does require"
So as I said it would only happen if the Tories win a majority at the next general election, you may as usual wish to lie and twist my words to suit your hard left agenda but my words are there in black and white
No that is hard left socialism and Corbyn and McDonnell want a nationalised state dominated economy as the end goal and to defeat capitalism in McDonnell's own words, not even a mixed economy
Have you not read Anthony Crosland''s seminal 1956 book 'The Future of Hard Left Social Democracy'?
Crosland's book "the Future of Socialism" is a great read for anyone wanting to understand the Labour Party between the Fifties and Seventies.

Have you not read Anthony Crosland''s seminal 1956 book 'The Future of Hard Left Social Democracy'?
No and as Crosland was one of the worst politicians of the last half century through beginning the policy of destroying most of the grammar schools I have no intention to
I thought Thatcher had the honour of closing most grammar schools
More pupils were in grammar schools in 1997 than in 1979 when Thatcher became PM
What about her form as education secretary, what grammar school closing numbers do you have for that period?
Thatcher was not PM then, Heath was and it was mainly Labour local authorities doing the closing after Crosland began the process

Well I don't have numbers but the grammar school where I was a pupil was closed in 1973 whilst Thatcher was Minister of Education, along with several others in Nottinghamshire. Most of the county went comprehensive in that year.

Yeah they’ve clearly got a policy, a big fudge looking for compromise let people decide policy. It’s clearly moved on from getting away with saying they don’t have one or they don’t want to talk about it, the main question about is it as clear as Tory’s and Libdems or will lose out for not being so clear.

So I can still use the line “education secretary who closed most grammar schools, Maggie Thatcher”?
What was her justification at the time for “snatching the milk”?
What other damage could stop gap PM do to team Boris? Could they release or unredact governments highly damaging to the election hopes?
I morphed government and documents into one to get governments, no wonder I didn’t get a reply. 😶
Serious question though, it would be government that wouldn’t want Boris government elected, what things could they release or put into law?
Other than evidence Boris wants to cancel Brexit nothing I suspect
You think nothing? It’s technically a change of government, politicians very hostile to Boris. Look what Laws did to Labour in 2010, what goodies could be lying around all the government departments to undermine GE strategy?
I suppose a Government of Remainer Unity could appoint Hammond back to the Treasury in order to formally publish all the stuff he previously leaked.
We had all this in the leadership campaign, Tories and Leavers just do not care, this is just another attempt to distract and try and prevent Brexit being delivered and stop Boris
All on-message transatlantically from Trump to Boris, I see.
Anglosphere Leavers. Better known as Hopkins Syndrome.
Hard Left Social Democracy is a mixed but mainly market economy with high tax & spend, strong regs, benignly active state, no trident, egalitarian social and educational policy, generally woke, anti US until they see sense and ditch Trump.
No contradiction in terms there.
No that is hard left socialism and Corbyn and McDonnell want a nationalised state dominated economy as the end goal and to defeat capitalism in McDonnell's own words, not even a mixed economy
Can they have that and still be remainers?
No which is why in reality they are not but back a Labour magic Brexit Deal
Unblushing state ownership and control and rules of the EU club would be at odds. So how much of the 52% in 2016 were lefties who want out EU to get a socialist state but never would vote or support Boris or any Tory?
A few, maybe even including Corbyn himself, just as some Remainers are Tories who will never vote for Corbyn Labour
How many of the remainer Tories currently show up as Tory in polling, but will vote Lib Dem on the day?
It hard to be confident how much of that Tory lead is down to embarrassed to admit Supporting Labour and still including remain Tories who won’t vote Boris on the day. Pleased to have you around HY to provide that show of confidence.
Ashcroft poll today, Tory Remainers prefer Boris as PM to Corbyn 59% to 4%, Labour Leavers prefer Boris as PM to Corbyn 42% to 23%.
Only 30% of Labour Leavers will definitely vote Labour at the next general election and 55% of Labour Remainers will definitely vote Labour at the next general election.
55% of Tory Remainers by contrast and 70% of Tory Leavers will definitely vote Tory and 60% of LD voters will definitely vote LD, utterly devastating for Corbyn Labour.
You are right. If the actual GE matches that polling you have every right to be confident. You don’t need it shifting after starting gun fired like 2017, which was blamed on May and and dementia tax, not voters lying to pollsters because copeland and locals matched the polls. Except Copeland, locals and polls aren't a GE.

Amber Rudd’s view might not be surprising after her comments about whether you would trust Boris Johnson to drive you home, but she’s hardly lining up a quick return to the Conservative party:

You know, he’s clearly looking in the right direction as he does it. Right at the target. And she’s not waiting for a high five, just pointing back. And takes her defences down before the hand makes its move.

Only approx 3% of sexual assaults reported to the police result in a conviction.

Maybe Jezza will do a Ramsey and become a personal friend and confidante to HMQ.

It’s nearly 10C hotter than normal for the time of year here on the Tennessee/Georgia border, and the heat is forecast to continue to the end of the week at least.
That’s abhorrent.
Serious question though, it would be government that wouldn’t want Boris government elected, what things could they release or put into law?
Donald Trump may well have a 'base' of such people running into many millions but does Boris?
We will soon find out, I suppose.

She has the zeal of the convert now
Can they publish all the Government research papers, un-redacted, about the possible consequences of a no deal Brexit?
That's exactly my point. It probably doesn't help the Democrats, but the role and duty of Congress is to hold the Executive to account, so there isn't a question here. The starting point is one of duty, not of electoral impact.
I also get fed up of people dragging these things up when it suits them to do so.. I would support anyone who does the correct thing and reports these things to the authorities, not just drag them up as an opportune moment
2) why would you not bring it up (again) to the disadvantage to of the person involved?
3) if it's not been brought up before the last week may have prompted them to come forward.
