      I just see the trump impeachment as a parallel of our Brexit.

      No one accepts the result of elections/ referendums anymore.

      The democrats appear to have been digging dirt and set out for this from day one after Trump's election as basically he shouldn't have won, it went against the establishment

      I know he is no saint, and an abrasive character, but can anyone name a politician who is not in it for themselves?

              He's always hated the UK so just making waves; he's also using Boris' own soundbites ('levelling up') and is unclear (as is all rhetoric around this) precisely what citizens right actually translates as

                I think Boris is right giving a deadline for a trade deal by the 31st of December 2020..lets hope he can strike one:fingers crossed: otherwise No deal..simples..sobeit...give the EU and the opposition 2/3 or more years and they'd do their damndest to drag it out .Bad losers if you ask me.

                  If the EU were to start moving the goal posts now it would only convince me that there has been a plot between the remain side in the UK and EU officials all along.
                  And no deal was ever intended to happen on both sides.

                    Labour leader Mr Corbyn said the government's "mishandling of Brexit" had "paralysed the political system," divided communities and was a "national embarrassment".

                    He said MPs "have to respect the decision" of the EU referendum in 2016 "and move on".

                    I guess Jez missed the part where he was the core reason for paralysis, resulting division and anger in communities and embarrassment? Beat him out the door with mucky sticks!!

                      But every Labour MP (bar 6) voted against the WA yesterday.

                          He's a "dyed in the wool" extreme Left Wing fanatic who is convinced that everyone is wrong and he is right. To be honest, I think he is full of Anger and Hate, which is barely concealed, after being handed a devastating result. He's not even bothered about the 59 Labour MP's that have lost their jobs around the country partly, I suppose, as most of them didn't agree with his policies, or like the man. You'll never, ever, convince a man like that that he is wrong, despite the fact that he, and the 3 Stooges, had no real plan on how to pay for the Paradise Policies they were advocating, had any real knowledge of economics, or even care about the consequences, despite the lesson and financial bankruptcy that the last Labour Government so kindly handed us.
                          I'm sure that Corbyn also wanted his picture on the wall at No.10 so that he could go down in History as a Prime Minister who was the "Saviour" of the country........but now, instead, he is just going Down.:cat-kittyandsmiley::coffee:
                          The present Labour Front Bench are the "Hangers On" and Corbyn like minded and will try to stay in the positions they have, while trying to keep the Labour Party on the extreme left. What's left of the Labour Party is mostly London based and that will also be a problem for them to try to connect with the more Northern and Western areas.

                            And South eastern areas, only one labour seat in my area, Canterbury, and that is thought to be down to mostly the student vote.
                            The South east is not London;):biggrin:
