Westminstenders: Summer Season

[RedToothBrush]

No its not the weather making your brain rot and stop thinking.

Thats just Brexit.

Hazardswan.

Sounds good to me!

Imagine the relief and the party we'll have

We'll still have climate change to worry about.

Eh I do my bit for that already, we'll soon sort that out as well at this rate...!

has the leavers denial and optimism rubbed off on me but in different way?

I see shifts are starting up again, elsewhere.

I see shifts are starting up again, elsewhere.

Don't know what's worse for my peace of mind - to think that some of those posters are shills in cyberspace, or to believe they are real fellow citizens around me .

Interesting syntax and lexis they use elements, again... Yup, I'm bored with them too.

So after the UKs commitment to EU nationals (oh, yeah ?)

www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45258343

The UK will "move swiftly" to safeguard the future of EU citizens in the event of no deal being agreed, Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab has said.

(contd)

how much faith will the EU have with the UK, given the Home Office is still making up new rules to apply retrospectively to UK Citizens

www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/windrush-government-deportations-british-citizens-uk-caribbean-home-office-rudd-javid-a8501076.html

So now it was OK to deport British Citizens if the had committed a crime, or left the country. Whittling 83 down to 18.

If I were an EU national, I'd be following Windrush very closely. Because there's no way an EU citizen could be treated better than a UK citizen. And currently we are shitting on UK citizens from a great height.

No truer words said DG

Nice to see brexit threads elsewhere, I'm somewhat immune to leavers - i know to many IRL!

We'll still have climate change to worry about.

But the "not having kids option" is off the table ....

Travel bosses want a second ref.

As the first ref was B.S. and law breaking I do think the second one needs a rebranding to reflect that it is in fact the first referendum that sticks to electoral rules.

190,000 people thinking on the same lines as you Hazardswan.

Already signed which I'd forgotten until I just did it again and the computer said no

Need to change my name to Petition Prolific or something

Shared on other thread anyways

www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/bbc-sacks-dr-phil-hammond-for-vow-to-stand-against-jacob-rees-mogg/22/08/

Broadcaster, doctor and vocal NHS campaigner Dr Phil Hammond announced on Tuesday that he would stand as a candidate for the National Health Action Party (NHA) in North East Somerset where Rees-Mogg is currently MP.

Just hours later he tweeted that he had been fired from his Saturday mid-morning show on BBC Radio Bristol.

The physician and health campaigner who has made never made a secret of his politics, thanked his team and listeners.

(aka "M.D." from Private Eye ....)

The more observant (so excludes Brexiteers) will have noticed that the stories are starting to come from previously uninvolved sources ....

www.itv.com/news/2018-08-22/legal-sector-warns-growth-could-halve-under-no-deal-brexit/

Growth in the legal sector could halve by 2025 if the UK leaves the EU without a trade deal, a professional body has warned.

According to estimates from the Law Society, the legal sector would grow by 2.2% annually between 2019 and 2025 if the UK pursued a “soft” Brexit, and remained inside the customs union and the single market.

However, this growth could slip to 1.1% if the UK exits under a “no deal” scenario and adopts rules set by the World Trade Organisation (WTO), the Law Society said.

Opting for a “no deal” over a soft Brexit could wipe almost £3 billion from the turnover of the sector as a whole, according to the figures, which were compiled with Thomson Reuters.

The Law Society has also forecast that by 2025 there could be 4,000 to 5,000 fewer people employed in the legal sector if the UK agrees a Canada-style free trade agreement with the EU.

However, the society estimates this figure could rise to 10,000 if the UK leaves the EU under WTO rules.

Wherever you turn ...

So, we're not happy being in a Union with the French, or Germans, and to make our point are going to cozy up to tinpot despot misogynistic medieval terror regimes like this :

www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-45270224

Saudi Arabia's public prosecutor has reportedly sought the death penalty for five activists, including the female rights defender Israa al-Ghomgham.

Human Rights Watch said they recently went on trial at a terrorism tribunal on charges including "participating in protests" in the restive Qatif region.

This has been suggested on twitter, what do you think Mrs8?
"People are saying that those who attend the march in October should bring one item to contribute to food banks, I suggest we do this and contact the Trussel Trust to pick up the supplies at the end of the event"

DG I'd expect that those specialising in international trade law etc would have a bonanza in the event of anything but a soft Brexit

e.g. It may be possible for foreign investors - like Nissan, Airbus - to sue the UK because of losses caused by the unexpected change of investment and regulatory environment.

In a couple of cases, investors have already won cases after previous losses (nothing to do with Brexit) in the UK and Spain
Depending on the outcome of Brexit it could cost the UK billions - Acknowledged by Fox

Thanks. Mrs8I think they are contacting Trussel trust.

Email from david lammy via people's vote.

"We all know how important the position of my party, the Labour Party, is in the Brexit debate.

At the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool in September, delegates will likely have the opportunity to vote for motions which recognise the need for a People’s Vote on the final Brexit deal. It’s already supported by the overwhelming majority of Labour members and voters, so this could be a game-changer.

We will be showing our solidarity with Labour delegates who are backing the call to give the public a final say on Brexit. Our march and rally in Liverpool on Sunday 23 September – on the first day of conference – will make our call for a People’s Vote too big to ignore. Will you join us in making your voice heard loud and clear?

JOIN US ON THE PEOPLE'S VOTE: MARCH FOR THE MANY

This Government has failed on Brexit. There is no mandate for its car crash Chequers proposal or for a disastrous no-deal Brexit. But as the crunch point approaches in the Autumn, we need politicians in all parties to make sure the public are given their say on the Brexit deal.

That is why this march and rally at Labour conference is so important.

I’ll be there, will you join me?"

Ooo don't know what to make of this after Corb's none answers on channel four...
