Trump is not and should not be someone we just trust, anything we sign up to with him he may just walk away any time he wants.

That's what his record shows, and his daily egotistical paranoia is concerning.

No politician should ever be trusted but if he does manage break The Fed then he'll have done more than pretty much any politician in the history of this pathetic charade.
Fingers crossed.

Mr Johnson, who voted to remain in the EU in the 2016 referendum, stood down as Theresa May's prospective deal with Brussels was being presented to Cabinet ministers.
He warned the UK faced a choice between "vassalage" under her proposals and "chaos" if it left the EU without a deal.

Next March, under Mrs May's proposals, the UK will lose control of its interests in the EU.

Most importantly, its alignment and membership of the single market and customs union will be subject to the European Courts of Justice, the ECJ.

This is the 'vassalage' to which Johnson is referring, and it goes a lot deeper.

Basically the UK has to accept anything the ECJ direct and that is it, not as at present with the veto and EU membership.

Not only is the UK giving up control of its own destiny in Europe to the EU it is also paying for the privilege.

If the ECJ rule that EU fishermen may fish in our waters then that is what will happen, so much for sovereignity.

Tony Blair says there is no plus side, at best it is just pointless, he is right.

You may, however, in a couple of years, find it is marginally more difficult, or marginally easier, to get an emergency plumber.

I have a horrible feeling that Mrs May is selling us down the river and we will end up with a deal that everyone hates. In that case i will hold her to her word No deal is better....

What doesn't make sense to me is the Irish backstop. If I understand correctly she will try to implement this because we need more time to agree a solution with the EU. This is just rubbish, if she said we have a solution to the Irish border but it will take 6 months to implement, because it involves technology and rule changes etc, I would probably agree. The point being the solution is agreed and it is an implementation delay.

However if we don't have a solution now when the pressure is on both side why will we have one when the pressure is off. This smacks of us accepting EU control on the never never.

Jo Johnson: it would be travesty not to have second Brexit vote.

Ex-transport minister says leave campaign made fantasy promises that have been shown up as undeliverable

Not only applies to brexit, but practically any other project emanating from Westminster you could think of.

The scale of their incompetence is only matched by the huge sums they pour into projects that had never been thought out properly in the first place.

Seems they have seen how dubious news stories and what does and does not get reported by the media over here influenced voting for Brexit

So many exaggerated scare stories on immigration always at the top of the right leaning news agenda influenced voting, media outlets owned by millionaires who will benefit from brexit, but unfortunately so many people are conned because they can't see past their own prejudices even though the same people now realise what a disaster Brexit is becoming

Another pro Remain puff* piece from the BBC.

It seems that employers are struggling to recruit migrant workers and that this has forced them to raise wages. Cos how terrible for those staff being forced to take a pay rise.

This story reminds me of the way the BBC reports immigration figures. Big headline "number of immigrants falls". When you read the details of course the number has fallen from 250,000 to 200,000. Or as I would put it "Government fails to control immigration as it rises by a further 200,000."

*I called it a puff piece because the research was done by the CIPD which is an organisation that represents HR people (corporate mouth piece). I remember a journalist saying that the vast majority of news stories are re-prints of PR given to journalists by government, corporates and other organisations. Or as Mr trump would say fake news.

Just because it's been badly negotiated by a clown like the Maybot does not make the referendum less valid or the result be reversed.

The bulls*** narrative that Remainers want to spread.

Right leaning news agenda? I nominate you for the Nick GUssett talking bollocks award 2018.

The head line should have been about
The squeeze is leading employers to increase pay rates, said the CIPD.

Great news, then the money gets put back in the system and recycled .

No, you can only vote for a party not who is leader.

So if you want to vote her out you'll vote Corbyn?

The CIPD is a strong and respected professional body.

What it is saying is what HR people are finding. Nothing more, nothing less. And it accords with my personal experience.

Have you tried taking people through the process of obtaining a work permit and visa recently? Including the language test?

So puff off.

I think she will be gone as leader before I get the chance anyway. The public feeling will put pressure on the Tory party and remove her if necessary.

Plus, I could vote tactically for Labour or Lib Dems or UKIP for its anti-EU policy.

I just read the quality and unbiased analysis from the Independent
" Despite Prime Minister Theresa May’s empty sloganeering about the creation of a ‘Global Britain’, the foul smell of her hostile environment migration policy persists"

I would hardly call that good journalism the reporter could have made them point without the insults.

No way would I vote Corbyn, he is just the mirror image of the cretins on here. if they stopped, looked, and applied some thought, they would have a lot more in common than just Brexit.

That is emotive territory though, isn't it, she is responsible for broken families and shattered lives.
