The ERG types wouldn't have it then and they aren't happy with this now. Its not going away unfortunately. 

I dare say you’re right. Not sure they will have the same clout now there’s a deal mind you, any whinging might seem a bit too detailed for people, at the end of the day who really cares about trade and fishing.

Johnson’s fag is all he’s become.  Anyone who says the PM had a difficult set of circumstances he had to deal with can f*** off, cos he’s had as keen a supporter opposite him as he could have dreamt of.

It’s one thing to say “we were tricked”, something else to say “we will be tricked, next Wednesday, please don’t say anything”

[LicK]

He, and whoever is advising him, are utterly incompetent. Forensic my hairy a***.

All the best on the sunny uplands lads

Helen Hayes is my MP and put out a little surveymonkey thing a few days ago. She at least had the good grace to abstain (massive remain constituency) and lost her shadow cabinet role as a result

[Murphman]

I'm not getting into an argument over this but Attlee faced exactly this kind of criticism when he was Churchill's deputy. First job, get elected, nothing falls into place unless it happens, pick your battleground and the time of the battle is my view. Most of what Johnson has f*cked up won't be an issue in 2024 unless Labour gain popular support.

[smithdown]

What did you say about Attlee?

I can't wait until people stop caring about the EU.

Yeah I'm utterly bored by it all now. Let's save our energy and respond to what this Govt does. Guardian last night was a joke, 50k new infections and the entire top section was all think pieces and obituaries on an institution that noone cared about 10 years ago other than a cabal of Tories.

Now that Brexit is over, 'The Great Reset' will become the next battleground for the Right and Left

With hindsight, it should never have been a left right battleground.

Was someone praising a form of fishing being stopped. Which Belgium and France stopped two years ago. These f***ing people.

And the EU as a whole are stopping this year.

It's so they can maintain the .eu domain name. You can't have one if you're a UK based business or organisation with no presence in the EU any more

Don't spoil the pointing and laughing with your rational explanations.

£6bn of trades per day moved from London to the EU in the Financial services industry from the 4th Jan. 

The Tories are that f***ing stupid they've managed to kill their own golden goose.

I'm not buying that is disaster capitalism. They're just backward little Englanders obsessed with the Empire. Private school educated, entitled and thick as f***.

This is a fight between which capitalism. There was no righteous side.

With hindsight the Left should never have bothered with it. Liberals are of course free to knock themselves out as they have stakes in it.
