April: PM calls an election because she says Labour & LibDems are meddling in Brexit.
July: May asks Labour & LibDems to meddle in Brexit
The repeal bill, due to be published on Thursday, will be a historic piece of legislation reversing the 1972 European Communities Act that took Britain into the bloc, as well as adopting all existing EU standards to ensure a smooth transition.
The prime minister has promised there will be no watering down of workers’ rights or environmental standards, but opposition MPs and rebel Tories fighting for a soft Brexit are likely to try to amend the bill to provide extra safeguards during its passage through parliament.

The bill will be laid on Thursday but will not be debated until the autumn, when there are expected to be tussles in the House of Commons, Lords and devolved chambers.
There was muttering of sunset clauses a while ago, possibly by Michael Green, are these still likely?Willow904 wrote:https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... CMP=twt_gu

I certainly hope not. We don't have the civil service resources to work to any kind of "timed out" deadline. EU laws need to remain as they are, as UK laws, until Parliament is ready to actively change them, preferably on the back of an election manifesto mandate. It will take Tory rebels to stop the power grab implicit in hitherto announced government intentions re the repeal bill. When the bill is published on Thursday we'll find out how much sway the Tory Europhile rebels now have and how far they are prepared to go. As long as Labour holds firm on opposing "Henry VIII" type powers and Tory Europhile rebels back them, the "Great" Repeal Bill can be reduced to a technical instrument of no real consequence.StephenDolan wrote:There was muttering of sunset clauses a while ago, possibly by Michael Green, are these still likely?Willow904 wrote:https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ...

Yes, exactly. Tories have irresponsibly led country and people to this point in time and their leadership inadequate. Should Labour demand Tories call another election if Tory minority government is unable to lead? That may not be possible or advisable. I don't know.StephenDolan wrote:Morning all.
Yes, it's the Tories mess, they can own it all until the next GE. Damien Green in have cake and eat it mode earlier.
Can you imagine the howls of laughter from the rwp if a LABOUR pm just elected came out with this idea?

We collected 55% more last year at the 19% Corporation tax rate than they did at 28% in 2009-10.
At Summer Budget 2015, the government announced legislation setting the Corporation Tax main rate (for all profits except ring fence profits) at 19% for the years starting the 1 April 2017, 2018 and 2019 and at 18% for the year starting 1 April 2020. At Budget 2016, the government announced a further reduction to the Corporation Tax main rate (for all profits except ring fence profits) for the year starting 1 April 2020, setting the rate at 17%.

This is the extract from the Article 50 letter which shows we have already triggered the process for leaving Eurotom. The decision to leave has therefore been made. Whether we had to leave at the same time as leaving the EU, I don't know, but that's what we've done. Perhaps the pros and cons should have been debated in Parliament before the notification of withdrawal was given? Just a thought. We haven't to date, in a similar way, notified our intention to leave the single market, though, either because a) leaving the EU means we leave automatically or b) because that decision has not yet been made - take your pick. No one seems to actually know for a certainty.Today, therefore, I am writing to give effect to the democratic decision of the people of the United Kingdom. I hereby notify the European Council in accordance with Article 50(2) of the Treaty on European Union of the United Kingdom’s intention to withdraw from the European Union. In addition, in accordance with the same Article 50(2) as applied by Article 106a of the Treaty Establishing the European Atomic Energy Community, I hereby notify the European Council of the United Kingdom’s intention to withdraw from the European Atomic Energy Community. References in this letter to the European Union should therefore be taken to include a reference to the European Atomic Energy Community.
It's my understanding Theresa May's speech asking for help is tomorrow.AnatolyKasparov wrote:Any official Labour response to May's "offer" yet??
(cJA emphasis)Theresa May will move to bolster her precarious position in Downing Street with an unprecedented invitation to Labour to help her create policies for a post-Brexit Britain as she attempts to quell a Tory plot to replace her. Speaking on the anniversary of her first week in Downing Street and amid talk of a Conservative bid to oust her before the end of the year...
The speech on Tuesday, which will be seen as an attempt to relaunch her faltering premiership, will then make an unusual plea for cross-party working, challenging MPs across the spectrum to “come forward with your own views and ideas about how we can tackle these challenges as a country”.

Leaving Euratom will have three key consequences for the UK.
Firstly, it will have more difficulty ensuring a long-term supply of nuclear fuel.
Secondly, it risks an immediate shortage of medical isotopes.
Finally, it may no longer enjoy access to research facilities and funding.

I will admit to also mistrusting her because of her often very bad takes on Labour party matters in the last few years.

9. I wonder what the per-word rate at Spiked is.
I assume we will, at some point, get Brendan O'Fuckwit's take on this - probably "Well, it's not so bad really..."
So I'm confused.Although all other European postwar communities were merged into the EEC and then the EU, Euroatom has maintained its legally distinct nature and is the only remaining community organization that is independent from the European Union and therefore outside the regulatory control of the European Parliament.
