Surprised there hasn't been more debate on here about May letting Cameron down over the EU referendum, but then I remembered that Brexit was all Corbyn's faultRogerOThornhill wrote:So what would be the point of trying to work out what Brexit means when the government don't seem to have the slightest clue?SpinningHugo wrote:Isn't Labour supposed to be a political party?

having said that, they do need to sort out their immigration policy which is in all kinds of mess right now.
I supposecLaboyrs position doesn't matter in practice, but this is a joke.
I'm all for discussing policies but this would be an utter waste of time - let's wait for the government to come up with some firm proposals.

To have a debatebon Labours position.
Should there be a 2nd referendum once terms known?
Should there be restrictions on free movement, or should we stay in the single market?
You know, the hard stuff, and not platitudes about how Labour supports retention of workers rights and environmental protection.
I'd want it made clear that the position of Umynna, Reeves and Reynolds does not represent party policy.

To my mind Labour is avoiding talking anything that might mean they have to come out against a xenophobic, little england, populist mindset. It seems they would rather be in power doing the things they should oppose rather than have someone else in power doing them.

DC - am guessing you don't mean to do this, but would appreciate not being tarred with same brush. Contributing to a forum does not mean one agrees with all posters on it (and nor should it)

John McDonnell was completely wrong to call Esther McVey a"stain of humanity". She is, in fact, a "stain on humanity".

My eyesight's getting worse. He (J O'D) said "stain of inhumanity".

Perhaps Labour don't want to discuss Brexit because they've just wasted 2 months being completely distracted by an idiotic leadership contest for no good reason and, consequently, haven't had a chance to even begin to think about what they should be doing.

As how Corbyn has voted on every EU treaty since 1975 is a matter of public record, there is no alleged about it.danesclose wrote:Corbyn's alleged "lukewarm" feelings about the EU are well known, yet that hasn't stopped people on here banging on about it, so please don't give me that nonsense about May.SpinningHugo wrote:Not a story as already well known.danesclose wrote: Surprised there hasn't been more debate on here about May letting Cameron down over the EU referendum, but then I remembered that Brexit was all Corbyn's fault

Hollywood has faced criticism from some fans of the show for remaining with Bake Off as it moves to Channel 4. A friend told the Sunday Mirror that the baker said his loyalty was to the show, not the broadcaster. “His heart belongs in that tent, and the show lets him work with ordinary people who share his love of baking,” they said.
Good lord, the patrony (if that's a word).

Did I miss the bit where we went back to the divine right of kings/queens and Theresa May was crowned the new Brenda?Johnson also aired his views on when the UK should leave the EU, despite No 10 sources making clear last week that this was a decision for May alone.
