General Election June 2017

Woman's Hour interview with Greening was softball. A few soundbites with the tone of inquisition, but no follow-ups, and lots of time given to repeating Tory catch phrases.

of course.
Corbyn forgots a number? BBC lead with the story on every bulletin. May doesn't show up for a debate? barely a mention.

Examples like this are terrifying. Even if the legislation was available, the implementation in all those businesses would need 100's of projects, and probably 1000's of people.

Even throwaway lines in that FT article like 'truck drivers would no longer be able to drive in the EU'... The Brexit answer is 'we'll just let them drive here and we can drive there', which is true, and obvious. But the consequences of trying to actually do that are going to be massive

I don't know what you guys are worried about. Davis had one hundred pages of notes on dealing with brexit.

As Corbyn's unelectable, anyway, none of this matters.

it's getting to the point that you're only allowed to accuse the bbc of left wing bias if you're an actual nazi.

The Electoral Commission fined the Conservative Party £70,000 over campaign spending relating a laundry list of spending and accounting issue, I would assume they have a lower burden of proof for this than the CPS has.

Yeah I should think channel 4 / the Guardian will be the only people reporting on this!

They are trying though:

Quoted with no sources, in reply to Amber Rudd's "there's no money tree".

No doubt somebody somewhere has done the number wrangling on this, but if even half of it can be recovered that's a start.

Of course there's always money for wars if politicians have shares in arms companies... perhaps we should all float ourselves on the stock market ;)

If Theresa May loses can she be dressed up as a fox and chased by braying toffs on horseback through Slough?

she'll probably just cast off that ill fitting skin suit in disgust to reveal her true reptilian form and skitter away into the nearby brush anyways.

May is disappointed with Trump over climate change
Macron is articulate and Statesmanlike

Oops. That will hopefully be anothef couple of points diwn for the Tories...

So does this mean that Tory lying and cheating cost Farage his last chance of becoming an MP? Because, if so, that's beautiful.

In other words. In one relatively small area of one industry we have a clusterfuck. There are many other industries equally affected.

Yeah, yeah, but at least we now have our sovereincy back!

Will of the People!

Isn't that @WillMelling ?

Wouldn't the PRA implement some type of short-term passporting waiver?

I hope it's not a bad pudding. That would be worse than no pudding at all.

In BrexhitUK potato-based puddings may be all we have to look forward to.

Have we discussed this nutjob yet?

I get the impression from a lot of these nutter candidates that the parties don't bother vetting candidates properly if they're standing in seats they can never win. They just fill a space. Until they say something completely unhinged of course.

Even the Spectator thinks May is a lame duck;
