  1. Back to topic. “UK government scraps plan to replace all EU laws by the end of 2023” I wonder what caused the change of mind?!
  2. Except the evidence is Millennials are not following the same path right as previous generations. It’s very far from over. https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/financial-times-millennials-conservatives-age-b2253902.html
  3. Treaties are treaties, there’s a clue in the name. Name a law and explain why it must be removed. Given there are supposedly 4000 so called ‘EU laws’ it shouldn’t be difficult to pick one.
  4. Republican opinions in the report that oddly look a lot like the Republican accusations that promoted the report in the first place. Meanwhile zero ‘Deep State’ plot against Trump and no crimes discovered. This Republican accusation of ‘confirmation bias’ looks a lot like a confession.
  5. As in ‘Russia, if you’re listening’?
  6. The only advantage I can see is for people with substantial non pension investments that wish to move completely out of UK tax jurisdiction to avoid capital gains tax on their investments. But their capital gains tax exposure would have to be significantly higher than their pension fund value. The OP has a good sized pension with very valuable benefits attached, in particular inflation protections and a full pension for his wife if she survives him. There would have to be some very compelling financial arguments to move that into QROPS.
  7. It tells us there was no ‘Deep-State’ plot against Trump. So yes, let’s hope Trump does get a copy.
  8. You didn’t give examples, agreements are not laws. Brexiteers tell us there are 4000 EU laws they want to repeal, but oddly can’t name one of them or why it must be repealed.
  9. Nice deflection. You haven’t given a single example of an EU law that should be repealed and why.
  10. A disgusting lie on your part. The Trump administration enacted policies of separating migrant children from their parents, as Scott has posted close to a thousand of those children remain separated from their parents. The Biden administration put an immediate stop to the inhumane policy. By demonstration it was the Trump policy that was the cause of migrant children being separated from their parents.
  11. No it wasn’t. The main pathway for migrants was still wide open. They were still arriving by aircraft and still overstaying their visas. You just got distracted by the authoritarian excesses visited on the predominantly poor and non white migrants crossing the southern border.
  12. The invented the whole ‘migrant crisis’, they can’t fix it, they need it. It’s a distraction for their supporters while the people who fund the Republican Party make off like bandits.
  13. Labour have made clear statements regarding policies that can only be understood in the context of realigning the UK to the EU. The block to rejoining the EU is not Labour, it’s not even the mainstream of the Tory Party, it’s the ERG. The UK will rejoin the EU when the Tories have sorted out their internal problems with the extreme rightwing.
  14. Arguably the worst piece of advice I’ e read in a long time. The OP’s pension provides valuable benefits for him and his wife, and a guaranteed pension for their lives. It’s also securely regulated under UK law. OP, don’t go near QROPS.
  15. And Durham drew a blank too. Come on Republicans, give up goofing around.
  16. The truth has come out. Comer has got nothing, he’s wasted millions on nothing, the Republicans have got nothing. Republicans spending time to prove their own fabricated lies instead of working to fix issues and help America recover, grow and prosper.
  17. Labour are fighting the next election on a handful of key issues that are at the top of voters concerns. Brexit is a Tory problem, Brexit failures are Tory problems and Brexit is splitting the Tory Party. Labour can focus on domestic issues and leave the Tories to stew in the Brexit mess they themselves made.
  18. Zero. Not one response. But hardly surprising, if a Brexiteer were to try to give an example they’d have to deal with facts.
  19. Hold your horses. The conspiracy nuts will come up with an explanation. Alien abduction is my guess.
  20. Honestly you couldn’t make it. But Comer gave doing so his best shot.
  21. Oh no. More obfuscation and whataboutary. it really is a thing around here.
  22. I do understand he’s not getting your vote, even when he has the decency to admit and apologize for his mistakes.
