Popular Post The Renegade Posted July 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2018 So May's cards have now hit the table and are so poor that no-one is happy, with perhaps the exception of perhaps the EU. '' The worst Home Secretary the UK has ever had '' has now became '' The worst PM the UK has ever had '' Given some of her predecessors in both positions, that takes some doing ?? 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the only people who think otherwise are those who wish to remain in this so called union,for their own selfish reasons. The thing limiting ‘workers prospects’ is the imbalance of power between employers and workers. Unionised workers earn more and enjoy better working conditions. The Tories are eagerly preparing to reduce EU regulations protecting workers in post-Brexit Britain. Meanwhile coming over the hill, the next industrial and social revolution AI and robotics, which will of course be in the control of business. What’s needed is a scapegoat to blame and distract ordinary working people. Anything but challenging employer power and the way in which the wealth the nation generates is distributed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sandyf Posted July 13, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) I watched the brexit statement in the commons yesterday, quite unbelievable. Apparently the white paper was made available to the media early morning but had not been seen by MP's before the statement. When the speaker questioned the secretary on availability he was told it was available and immediately suspended the session. The publication of Theresa May's new Brexit plan descended into chaos when speaker John Bercow had to suspend the Commons to allow MPs to see copies of the white paper. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/uk-politics-live-updates-theresa-may-brexit-labour-conservative-trump-visit-nato-tory-a8443421.html Edited July 13, 2018 by sandyf 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite the point, I was accused of a post regarding Trump as not being relevant to the brexit negotiations. He is now claiming he told TM how she should have handled it. What you say is quite right, he is struggling to deal with the EU and sees the UK as a soft target. Only trying to further his own interests. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sums up the White Paper - Chaos. The fact that the media were issued the White Paper at 09:30 and not issued to MP's until the Speaker had to suspend commons for it to be issued to MP's should be enough to see heads roll. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The UK was a member of the EU and that is possibly ( time will tell ) the best model to be in. 2 things happened to change that. 1 A Referendum was held and the majority that could be @rsed to vote, voted Leave. 2. 7 Months later. A Parliamentary vote was held to trigger Article 50. This was backed by a 4 - 1 majority in favour of triggering Article 50. Look forward, that is where the future lies - Don't look back to the past, it is in the past for a reason. Where the irony lies is with a UK PM who is doing her best, despite the Referendum result, despite the Parliamentary vote on triggering Article 50, is still trying to keep the UK attached at the hip to the EU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
