  1. Teresa May was a remainer. David Davis was a leaver. So although he was appointed Brexit Secretary, May surreptitiously undermined Davis by giving Robbins effective charge of any real "negotiations". Davis had had enough of this bs by the time May came back from Germany in July 2018 and he quit. May should never have been PM. The "Brexit done" rush was all about Boris's determination for a Brexit conclusion by end 2020. An ego thing probably. As you say, this TCA is probably better for the UK than nothing, lousy as it is.
  2. OK, I'll disagree on the first part and ignore the little lecture after that after that The press and most news media have become far more concerned with politics than true journalism since the 1980's - as a result of takeovers by wealthy individuals or groups - old school journalistic reporting standards have largely been replaced or removed.
  3. Pretty obvious. Stay out.
  4. The comment in this piece seems generally factual to me. Yes, the WA and the TCA were poor for the UK but the guts of the first one were little to do with Lord Frost, who entered the fray late on and was assigned the task of making the best job he could of modifying May's "Chequers Agreement", which was the only way to get any agreement with the EU. Critical elements of the WA were demanded by the EU and only modified by the UK, from May's midnight flit to Germany, probably had to have Merkel's blessing. The TCA was relatively rushed but Frost was under pressure from Johnson to "get Brexit done". Negotiations with the EU were already known to be lacking in the good faith department anyway and the clock was running.
  5. And how many of these "serious" news outlets exist? Can you name some?
  6. Well the traffic can be bad there on Fridays. Fair's fair and all that.
  7. After all, that's always the priority for you.
  8. Low av about 2m for those areas. There is still time for a lot more rain this year.
  9. Finally getting light down there then?
  10. Lose another point for deflection.

  12. and you....
  13. A Nationality & Borders Bill to ensure those descended from individuals born in the British Indian Ocean Territory be allowed to register as British citizens received royal assent in April 2022, with people of Chagossian descent now able to apply to become a British Overseas Territories citizen (largely due to the efforts and support of former MP, Henry Smith). Henry says that the UK government ceding of this British Indian Ocean Territory to Mauritius, against the will of most islanders is a betrayal of Chagossians, who have not even been offered a vote. I agree. These Chagos Islands were never a part of Mauritius - they were just administered from Mauritius in the French colonial era. Unfair, unnecessary and unwise.
  14. Stock? Maybe you're more of a man?
  15. How have you ever accepted it?

  18. How on earth did you come to that conclusion? My comment concerned the 'outsider' claim.
