There is massive redistribution from richer to poorer regions in the UK. @Alistair Meeks gets very exercised by it.Gardenwalker said:
It’s not a Remainer argument that the EU was “good at bribing us with our own money”, however it is true that the EU maintains a modestly redistributive regional development policy - the sort of thing which has been taboo in this country since the 1970s, and certainly under the Tories.DavidL said:So one of the remainer arguments for being in the EU was that they were good at bribing us with our own money in providing regional funds (and bungs for farmers, natch). The government's response to this at 5 to midnight and having lost several important votes by epic margins is to introduce alternative funding but on a much lower scale than that which is being lost.
Surely no one who actually wants to leave could possibly be responsible for this? For the umpteeth time it is so far beyond incompetence as to be out of sight. Did someone ask Grayling for advice?

Vegetarian fake meat as well. There are excellent vegetarian meals, but only if they actually look like vegetables.DavidL said:

I don’t mind Nando’s. Nando’s has personality, spice and makes no pretences.Stereotomy said:
Oh, let them have their fun. If a good-natured little contest to see who can have the most predictably, tediously elitist opinion on food chains is what it takes to brighten their day, then why begrudge them?Philip_Thompson said:

Delicious, reasonably priced, reasonably speedy food.
Nando's is far better chicken than eg KFC.
I also used to like Wetherspoons but can obviously no longer go there for political reasons.

May is incapable of the personal approach, a very important part of the political process which is often overlooked. I heard Lisa Nandy interviewed on R4 a few weeks ago and she said that May had not spoken to her once since the general election. So it's hardly surprising that few Labour MPs are willing to support the deal. Today's events will push them further away - if they suppprt the deal now they will be accused of selling out for the ridiculously small bribe that has been offered.Sean_F said:
You might expect politicians to be bad at administration or long range planning, or to be venial or self-serving, or to be ignorant and lazy.DavidL said:
The evidence is somewhat to the contrary, certainly in recent years.Sean_F said:
You would at least expect politicians to be competent at politics, if nothing else.DavidL said:So one of the remainer arguments for being in the EU was that they were good at bribing us with our own money in providing regional funds (and bungs for farmers, natch).

But, you would have thought that the actual business of low politics is something they could manage. If you've got 20 or so opposition MP's who have indicated that they might vote with the government, you would have thought that the PM would be doing everything to win them over, and offering them something worthwhile for their votes.0 -

Don’t know why she’s been blocked, but it is newsworthy given she was one of Labour HQ’s preferred spokespeople, often fed a (distanceable) “line to take”.Recidivist said:

May’s approach is for her to decide what to do in isolation, after much prevarication.Sean_F said:

Once she’s made her decision she expects everyone else to do as they’re told.

Another over-priced high street restaurant chain in the doo doo.
Green Book was OK, but if you have seen the trailer then you have seen the whole film.
It appears to be a naff throwback to the 90s. Would not be out of place to find a pic of Blair meeting Oasis at Downing Street in the loos.

Parliament can vote to stop No Deal. The PM can ignore them.Stereotomy said:
Er, what?ExiledInScotland said:
The executive do not have to action such a vote result. If ministers recommend that Royal Consent not be given then any action arising from such a vote is dead. The PM can drive us off the cliff if she wants and there is nothing that can be done to stop her. Except she won't.Stereotomy said:
So your prediction is that May's deal will pass next week with ERG support?HYUFD said:
I think the Kyle amendment for EUref2, Deal v Remain, is already close to 300 votes now Labour have backed EUref2.eek said:
I think it's killed off any chance of May's Deal going through untouched. The best we now get is a requirement for a referendum amendment with Labour then abstaining on the final vote,Stereotomy said:
Well yes, though that was also true yesterday, last week, last month, last year...rottenborough said:https://twitter.com/jessphillips/status/1102548312455106561
Can't see too many Lab MPs going along with May's Deal after this morning.
Unless it is a whipped vote on a deal to put Deal/Remain to 2nd vote.
Remember no one wants responsibility for any of this so an approach like that makes everyone equally responsible for the referendum....
If May's Deal fails again I expect about 50 Tory MPs ie Rudd, Burt, Soames, Letwin, Clarke, Boles, Gauke etc to say they will switch from backing the Deal to EUref2 as a last resort to avoid No Deal. That gives 350 MPs for EUref2 and it passes the Commons.
That will place a gun to the head of the ERG ie back May's Deal or risk no Brexit at all, most of them will cave and back the Deal and it could then scrape home with the support of a few Labour MPs in Leave seats too
