Everything Truss came up with, the post Brexit opportunities and tax giveaways has been demonstrated not acceptable to the financial markets.
So what are they going to come up with?
Tory Austerity 2?
Culture wars?
Scapegoating migrants?
WW2 and World Cup 66?
They need something to distract the public, I wonder what it’ll be?
Endless leadership contests?

No, you are misrepresenting. He has always been a liar. He has lied repeatedly. Away with your "side of a bus" deflection.

not to mention the country. I notice our usual brexit loudmouths are in short supply these days.

I remember it well. Shockingly awful. It seems we have a revisionist here.

What we didn't have were keyboard warriors with veiled accusations calling us liars just because they'd spent hours trawling the internet to find media posts that may or may not be impartial.
Sad state of affairs right now that so many people have to rely on what they read rather than what they have experienced first hand.
No, what we had was closed mines, unemployment and the tories attacking the working class. They're at it now too, but have extended their net.
One of my best mates was from Donny- his pop was a coal miner. No keyboard warriors there.Your miner friends? Must have been west coast.

Either this is a radical new approach to political economy or it shows a lack of understanding about the (global) economy.
This is the guy who reckons he is an economist. Nutter more like.

I 'm well aware of what he is implying they are all the same
At least you understand the difference between 'inferring' and 'implying' which is more than can be said for the poster your are replying to. Perhaps you were right about sticking to one syllable words, but I'm afraid it appears that the people who would benefit are the ones agreeing with you.

If I had used the word "some" as opposed to "certain" would that have been easier for you to understand?
I'll try to stick to single syllable words for you
Well if you just used your words correctly as you suggest, then that would be ideal. Don't worry about the number of syllables; I've got you there. 'Certain' implies a commonality that you didn't explain. 'Some' is much better.

No, that is covered by 'corner shops'. What extra information are you trying to imply with your use of the word 'certain'?

Members can use Twitter sources now, when commenting?
As Placeholder said Riclag- official accounts are permitted. I guess if you want to argue that they are not up to snuff, you could always report my post.

Pot meet kettle.
More headaches for the failing federalist project after the Swedish election results.
You would be well advised to look closer to home at your failing tory government and the way they with their brexit are failing the people of the UK.

It's quite interesting to see that Brexiteers, who are supposed to be proud of the British democratic system, have no problem when other countries, such as Hungary, trample underfoot the basic democratic principles that UK brought to the world, such as the independence of the judiciary and the media.
Brexiteers have no interest in democracy. Why else do you think they delivered the UK into the hands of the ERG? Why did they allow Putin to meddle in 'their democratic process'? Why do they cheer as the citizens' natural assets and rights are stripped from them? I know you know this already Candide, but how can they worry about the democratic principles of europe whilst their own emancipation is being stripped from them?

Sorry to hear that, but greatly relieved that it's not just me!!
Please post back if the situation changes and whether you did something to make it work again.
Will do. I hadn't updated windows yet, now have. Tried clearing cookies, but neither of the 2 have helped.

Same thing has just started happening to me, but it's fine on my phone so must be a computer issue.

I am saddened that 9 months after the military operation started that the left still refuse to accept there are 2 sides to this(and indeed every) story. We really are doomed when arrogant chest beating squashes any desire to understand what is actually happening. There is never a situation where one country is 100% right and another 100% wrong. Propaganda is used just as much in the US as Russia. If this dogmatic stance keeps up we are heading for nuclear war and an end to life on earth.
To help understand some background to this conflict, this article is useful.
2 sides? It's 3- you forgot BLM!

almost looks like double jeopardy, getting charged and having a trial twice for the same alleged crime.
Good luck to Steve with this matter. I'm guessing any jury will not be a friendly one made up of Trump staff and donors like the Sussman trial had. Oh no, couldn't have that, Bannon is on the wrong team.
"Almost" you say?
