Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Dil, I doubt very much that there is a criteria for calling another leadership
election, they've already shown what a bunch of no-hopers they are, and if
there was any credible candidate they never put their head above the parapet
in the just completed contest....

Andy Burnham was the only credible candidate amongst that shower. And even he is a blue (Evertonian.....LOL!!!)

They can wait for the fallout of Brexit.

I would think the next G/election would be a good one to lose.

labour should have no problem at all in doing that

however, for us non-socialist workers, it is the one after that that could prove scary if mccluskey's protege or another acolyte is still at the helm of the labour party

I always preferred the slow game.

well fred, not wishing you ill, but i hope you (and me) are long dead before we see the likes of mccluskey as pm

A good candidate would be Hilary Benn. I think he is keeping out of it until he feels he could win.

The pressure is building from the moaning 'remainer's' to have another
referendum on article50, well i think it's article50 they want another
referendum on, or is it the final negptiations...Or is it...

Tell the frickers to do one T.May, otherwise it will start looking like there is
going to be a...STITCH UP!!!!

TM does not need to do anything ..... she can (and i am sure she will) just carry on with Plan A and tell us what has or has not been achieved in the fullness of time

it's not impossible that there'll be some kind of ambush in parliament to derail the ratification of Article 50, but i think that would just precipitate an early GE, which i'm sure the labour party absolutely does not want

The Blairite Labour party would like an early GE, because even they arn't that
stupid to think that Corbyn and his cronies will win any election.

So the sooner there is an election the more it would suit those who want to
get rid of Corbyn.

Australian officials are ready to begin work on a free-trade deal with the UK, and have recently flown in to begin hammering out the details of a landmark pact, the country’s top official in Britain has revealed.

A senior negotiator from Canberra has already arrived in Britain, while top civil servants from Australia have briefed their counterparts in London on the ins and outs of trade deals, High Commissioner Alexander Downer told The Sunday Telegraph.

Theresa May met the Australian prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull, last month, when they agreed to kickstart trade talks imminently, while Australia’s trade minister also met his British counterpart Liam Fox.

It's no good hiding in the closet Haystack...we all know you are a lefty remainiac in real life.

Mr T's dummer brother

Is that the best you can do?

dummer? Which grammar school did you go to Hays? Doh.

Wasn't a good joke

an amusing cartoon - well done fred :-) !

TM and her cohorts have a very interesting and difficult path to tread, as indeed do the germans with their 27 "friends"

there is certainly an evens chance that the eu will implode (explode?) within the next 10 years, and in truth that would beto the benefit of none except arguably a fairly bellicose putin

nevertheless, i am increasingly glad (i think :-) ) that we are leaving the federal octopus
