What did he want to do, nationalise Waitrose? Put a tax on the word 'tax?NickPalmer said:
Chris is an outrider who resigned from the Shadow Cabinet because he wanted to pursue more left-wing ideas than Corbyn and McDonnell were comfortable with. He can't really be shut up, and of course he makes an interesting interviewee, always up for an aggressive quote, so gets invited a lot. Quiet loyalists, not so much.Roger said:I know Nick thinks Corbyn is a nice person and he's known him for many years.
But if that's the case why is he allowing the likes of Chris Williamson to speak on his and Labour's behalf?
it makes the party look like a bunch of thugs.0 -

That's May's lodestar. Moreover I think the numbers would be similar for May's deal versus Revoke. I also think No Deal beats Revoke - in the country that is. If only Parliament reflected the country.HYUFD said:

Is Shameful Shami handing her peerage back? Considering such an appointment would make it clear her investigation was a whitewash (as if we didn't know that already...)?RobD said:

Ouch
Theresa May, they tell me (in a couple of cases actually shouting) is the Death Star of modern British politics. She’s the theory of anti-matter, made flesh. She’s a political black hole because nothing, not even light, can escape. Ideas, beliefs, suggestions, objections, inquiries, proposals, projects, loyalties, affections, trust, whole careers, real men and women, are sucked into the awful void that is Downing Street — and nothing ever comes out: no answers, only a blank so blank that it screams. Reputations (they lament) are staked on her, and lost. Warnings are delivered to her, and ignored. Plans are run by her, unacknowledged. Messages are sent to her, unanswered. She has become the unperson of Downing Street: the living embodiment of the closed door.

The EMA has lost its claim in Canary Wharf over that office it will no longer be able to use.
Unsurprisingly the court found there is nothing in law prohibiting its location in the UK. Likewise, the EMA is not prohibited legally from paying rent under the lease after Brexit, which was fatal for its claim.
Slightly more surprisingly, the court also held that even if it were illegal for the EMA to fulfil its lease obligations post-Brexit, illegality under foreign law (here EU law) was not relevant to his decision.0 -
Is that last bit surprising? IANAL, but to subject English contract law to the whims of foreign jurisdictions would be somewhat more surprising.....TheWhiteRabbit said:The EMA has lost its claim in Canary Wharf over that office it will no longer be able to use.

Anecdote alert
today at work a conversation round the coffee machine 2 conservative voters , to labour voters one green
Conservatives.....not voting for them they are screwing the internet up
Labour not voting for them they have that idiot in charge
Lib dems what are they for apart from eu, one trick pony
Greens loonies but heart is in the right place...though the last bit only came from the green voter
Ukip what a bunch of arses
We were rich all basic rate tax payers 4 seemed to be of the opinion that they may as well vote bus pass elvis as frankly they couldnt be worse than the current crop of incompetents. The only one prepared to vote as before was the green. Will they go back to their tribal leanings who knows but if they dont might want to put some money on bus pass elvis getting a couple of seats0 -
