Immeasurable damage has already been done, but despite the backlash I'd still like our government to finally admit that Brexit really is not deliverable.

Maybe I should buy a boat with my pension. Just as well it weren't a company one else I'd have paid for somebody else's.

Yeah, yahyah. I remember my mortgage rate going up to 18%. I don't know what the standard rate was because i was self-employed. I still find it strange though, having to pay more than my staff taking on their mortgages while working for the same company.

I used to appreciate Tom Watson's efforts on the alleged establishment child abuse scandal and reprehensible elements of the press and had hoped for much more. All seems quiet on the Western Front.

Speaking of have they lived, A, I gather home ownership or even kids are getting less and less likely before middle age.

True, ROT, but it's up to you whether or not you bite.

By the by my not being a member of the Labour party was no veiled dig at SH. It was only after I posted that I realised it could be taken that way since I often speak between the lines, not that I took pk as referring to me.

I'll just add that I don't see Corbyn as ideal in many ways but he had appointed others to act in areas that he may have been weak. It seems to me that some if not many of them simply followed Cameron's lead and ran away. No more on this topic from me as I'm not even a member of the Labour party. Ed...

Sorry, ephe, to hark back but yet another view from Ellie Mae O'Hagan who at least has been mixing with Momentum: Corbyn supporters are not delusional Leninists but ordinary, fed-up voters ( https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/aug/09/jeremy-corbyn-supporters-voters-labour-leader-politics ...

Good morning. Quite frankly that Kuenssberg piece was a waste of time, largely being a rerun of clips from the referendum rather than additional in or hindsight, so nothing new.

Just goes to show I must be into unpopular culture. I also got the Brookside question wrong btw.

Not that it excuses it but that article is from 2011, AngryAsWell. It was the Chancellor George Osborne bit that made me check. Still it may be worth a follow up as I doubt there's any significant change.

I'm afraid to confess that my brother and I grew up thinking our sister wasn't too bright so you can imagine my concern with my lads after their mother's stroke and given their sister was Downs. Thankfully I don't think I did too bad a job of raising them.
