Westminstenders: Penny dropping time

[RedToothBrush]

Johnson already seems to be hinting at protections for workers rights and the environment that he promised are to be dropped.

Along with enshrining Brexit in law to the end of Dec 2020 thus creating another Brexit no deal date. This time without any safety net in parliament.

"won't Johnson be more liberal than he suggested" they cry

About that...

What time are the PLP meeting?
Any guesses on outcomes ?

It is an interesting point though because it's not just their workers and the tax issues - they actually shaft their customers too. How many times have they been censured by the Advertising Standards Authority for their misleading Prime adverts?

Of course if you have Prime anyway, you are immune to such and don't really give a toss. (Puts hand up). Again, interesting to overlay that situation and attitude onto the political arena ...

I make no apologies for my use of Amazon. Over the years, it's been able to supply silly little things that the High Street should have stocked, but opted not to, in favour of fashion. And at this point, I may as well be my DM from 40 years ago. Only no Amazon in those days, but a network of semi-secret backstreet stockists. And it's not like she was into rare lithographs or anything. Just fabrics, textiles and equipment for the enthusiastic home seamstress.

Just hastily caught up with last couple of pages; is the nightmare prospect of a no-deal back?

It never went away

It was never going to go away with a Con majority.

It's all part of the fun

oh do sod off Cendrillon you teed.

I loathe Amazon for all the above reasons plus it's terrible for the environment but having no fricking time to get to the shops will once again do all my Xmas shopping on it.

It's the Will of the People. Genuinely...

Christ well that’s the cherry on top of the dog-shit cake.

What they voted for all along in 2016?

People didn't know what type of Brexit they were voting for because it was all so nebulous. A Norway style Brexit was mentioned a lot I believe.

Was the term no deal even in the public’s vocabulary in 2016? It was all buses, Turkey and project fear dominating.

I’m not surprised the public didn’t have a strong grasp of what was to happen even the government proved clueless.

Personally, I think Johnson will go for a bare bones, rather crap, trade agreement with the EU.

I don't think he's dim enough to go for No Deal.

And I think the U.K. public will be quite cross if he starts the terrorising tactics again, so soon.

They voted for 'Out of sight, out of mind. No more drama' and I think he knows that.

We'll see.

There will be lots of jubilant press about how well it's going.

And small articles in the Financial Times pointing out it's rather crap.

It will be interesting to see what people think about Brexit at next election. At least it won’t be a stick to bash people with. Again if Labour had any nous they’d see it as an opportunity. Rather than Labour the greatest closed club in town.

I loathe Amazon for all the above reasons plus it's terrible for the environment but having no fricking time to get to the shops will once again do all my Xmas shopping on it.

Now we start to understand how people vote Tory ...

And, unless Keir Starmer is Leader of the Opposition, there will be no calling him out on it.

Instead, the Leader of the Opposition will be focussed on outrageous guff the person in charge of Department for Borders and Immigration comes out with.

Which will, oddly enough, serve to keep both Conservative core voters happy and Momentum members.

And it will be a side show, whilst all sorts of sneaky Brexit stuff happens just below the radar, in the small print of trade agreements.

Of course, Keir Starmer May be Leader.

It may be different.

But ....

He's delaying the reshuffle until Feb, after B-Day.

Every indication there will be a slaughter of the ERGs and a dash for the EEA, or soemthing very much like it.

What was that phrase you taught me, coup de maître?

I should imagine Rees Mogg will be "am I bovvered?" as he walks away with his bazillions. And more to be had down the line.

Somerset Capital Management have moved their HQ to Dublin.

JRM will survive.

And no irony here:

Not that I needed an excuse not to visit them ever again ...
