Tusk told reporters on Friday: “I am glad the UK government seems to be moving towards a more detailed position.

“However, if the media reports are correct, I am afraid the UK position today is based on pure illusion. It looks like the cake [and eat it] philosophy is still alive.

What is amazing is that it s now seen as a significant step for Labour to commit to remaining in the customs union (or if [verbose hardcore party liners with no judgement] prefer, entering into a customs union materially identical to the current one upon leaving it.)

That is twice you have referred to me as a 'moron' because of my position

Firstly 'moron' is a relic of the 80s but is not a word I would ever use to describe someone because of its erstwhile links to a real mental conditions

Secondly, the concept you refer to as 'moronic' is perfectly reasonable and explicable - you can find this distinction being discussed a lot recently

Thirdly, an amendment saying 'the EU Custom's Union' will not pass the HoC whereas one with 'a custom's union with the EU' could do

I would report you (again) for saying this but I have done so before and nothing ever happens - I will now just call you out on it

For the actual distinction between 'a' and 'the' - there are plenty English textbooks or you could bother to read previous posts

Apologies to others who find this tedious but I am not letting this person get away with this

It must be really shocking for Dominic Grieve to know that he is a [verbose hardcore party liners with no judgement sic] Labour supporter as he was asked, and responded to, the same question yesterday with a similar distinction

Of course Hugo is more capable that both him and Keir Starmer who have no credibility or respect within legal circles

The Public Accounts Committee will examine the Adult Social Care Workforce on Wednesday 28 February 2018.


"There are currently 1.34 million jobs in adult care, shared between local authorities and the private sector. During 2016–17, the vacancy rate across the sector was 6.6%, with annual turnover in the workforce at 27.8%. Meanwhile, ‘informal care’ from family and friends is said to be worth about £100 billion to the UK economy."

This is the type of reporting that annoys me

She is not worried about this vote.

She is worried about the one on 'a customs union'

There are two amendments

See the Grieve interview and it will say why

Labour will not vote for 'the EU Customs Union' at the moment, if ever

This is one of the reasons the debate is so poor on Brexit - the political commentators do not seem to want to understand the nuances. The lawyers in the HoC do which is why we get these seemingly pedantic discussions

Personally I do not see what is so difficult to understand
