Why? Just to remind people of how bad state run supermarkets were. Are we getting one? Better ask Comrade Jeremy. You really believe we would end up with state supermarkets. In other news the ft put a positive spin on national humiliation. [Link]

I think it was the 'Daily Remainer'.....Good laugh that was watching their guy shifting around denying it. I reckon we could call you the 'Daily Remoaner' Nick.

Being called silly by you is quite the compliment. It's like an endorsement. If you believe that 2+2=5 and it is the truth that 2+2=4 then for you it is still the truth that 2+2=5. In your mind when you become more in debt every day you are still actually re-paying it regardless of how much it is actually increasing.

Another remoaner back to show us his impressive maths skills. The day this joker represents a 'truth' old Jezza will also win Mr Universe. I was embarrassed for you to see how little you knew about the EU's debt situation. A situation where they aren't paying down the deficit but increasing it....Whereas the UK...which is obviously in far less debt is paying it down. Yet you want to talk about the UK.....A country you do down yet no doubt benefit from.

The UK has conceded for the first time that it will continue its commitment to any financial obligations to the European Union after it leaves the single market. In a written statement by Brexit secretary David Davis, said the government ‘recognised’ its obligations to the single market “that will survive the UK’s withdrawal”. Only a day after 'whistle for it'. It's like an endless well of stupidity. It has always been said that we would continue with our legal obligations. Where has Davis said otherwise? Also institutions that the UK believes in we will seek to continue in and hence contribute to.....There are plenty of mutual benefit areas. Johnson and the back bencher were quite rightly referring the silly 80-100 billion joke positions given to the media by your oh so precious EU negotiators.

But Labour recently voted against their own policy of staying in the single market. How do you explain that? You say the Tories are confused on how to appease both wings, that's because they are the ones actually negotiating it. Labour aren't negotiating it but are still split. Every party won't vote against it. If that is the case, we will have seen more people in favour of Chucka's proposal. Chucka split the party, Corbyn sacked some front benchers too, this will be dire for Labour if they do come in to power. It may force May out if what you say actually happens. But then the Tories will have a much stronger candidate and Labour will be stuck with Corbyn who with an excellent campaign couldn't beat a absolutely terrible campaign ran by May. I say stuck because half Labour MPs don't agree with him. You must have misread (or not read) their manifesto. Name me a single MP other than Tories/DUP who will back the government on their Breixt bills if they don't make the concessions Kier Starmer is demanding for Labour's support. Dominic Grieve/Anna Soubry/Nicky Morgan will lead the Tory revolt and vote against the government and bring May down.

Any number of things can scupper brexit but from world events, in Europe itself, a financial crash but not in the UK parliament IMO.
Power over brexit is elsewhere now not that our parliament was any use at all, the entire house was unable to make one solitary amendment to the whole thing.

Yep, probably a sensible straddling of the horse.

Oh no, we're all doomed! How could we think we could cope on our own. So there is something good about brexit after all. Do the Irish know it is the fine-paying department they are getting????

Ever wonder why they choose Ireland to invest in my lefty progressive non friend? You see Corbyn fans think they can pay everything with corporation tax and the top five percent but if they ever got into power all that money will be going out. The progressive left are the worst possible government for the working class. Don't get me wrong the Tories aren't their friends but the progressives are far worst.....they pretend to fight for them when in reality they would fcuk them up like a kipper.

You haven't read the manifesto have you? Be honest. You are making judgements on something you haven't read.

And you are far more of a Corbyn fan than I am a May one. You actually campaigned for the Labour party so your hands are stained 'progressive' red.
