    Others have asked for advice on here and found it helpful so i am trying the same.

    I'm thinking if buying a flat for the first time jointly with a family member.
    I earn in $ which I think complicates things. What advice or experience do people have with mortgage brokers?

    $ earnings will be complicated. Are they UK sourced? Either way you should probably go to a broker because it's a joint mortgage as well. John Charcol are the best, albeit not cheap.
    Thanks for the response.

    Yes it does seem to be complicated with dollars... Feels weird to me since I would have thought it didn't make a huge difference...
    No my earnings come from the US. I will look into John Charcol - thanks.

    Has Martin McGuinness played a masterstroke for Remainers here?

    It's complete tosh. Stormont has no role in triggering Article 50, which is a reserved matter. Therefore, there's no substance to the challenge. N Ireland has MPs to represent its views on issues like this.
    I think the other aspect to consider is the Good Friday Agreement and withdrawal from the ECHR would breach that.

    I do know a Brexit supporting barrister who is really worried by that aspect.

    Would Mrs May really want to be spoken in the same breath as the Real IRA
    As the ECHR is not part of the EU, that shouldn't be a consideration re triggering A50.

    There is a legitimate concern on the GFA, although no reason why Britain couldn't revert to pre-1998 position where ECtHR was none binding (other than for N Ireland, where the HRA could continue to apply).

    When even the LibDem candidate is in favour of nuclear power, someone needs to give voters a choice.

    Contrast with Richmond where there was no pro-LHR expansion candidate.
    Lib Dems have been pro-nuclear power since 2013.

    You'll definitely need a broker then. You are probably best with Citi or someone but it's a pain. (I still can't borrow against my US house, even with dollar income, because I am not a US citizen)

  • If the Green's hadn't contested Copeland then they might as well have disbanded and joined Greenpeace. There can be few seats in Britain more in need of a distinctive Green critique of the existing economic model. That said the geography makes it a bitch of constituency to work from a standing start. I expect the 3% they got in 2015 to be squeezed.

    Mr. Eagles, reading the thread now. Guess which poster said this:
    "Mr. Eagles, is it asking for a list of reasons for Hannibal being the clear superior to the Queen of Bithynia?"

    Edited extra bit: my initial thought wasn't quite cunning enough - "A few are getting a shade giddy over Corbyn."

    Wish you hadn't linked to that thread - I'd forgotten this:

    And... fully laid off at 26.0. Might regret that.

    Given that you got on at 150, I doubt you'll regret it that much...

    Didn't you say that about the first court case?
    I wonder if it would make the Shinners turn up?
