again how many referendums do you want?It was a good speech by Major by virtue of being true. His anger at the damage being done to the country by the 37% was restrained but palpable. The gullible Brexit pensioners were sold a pup. Time to return it to the shop.

He doesn’t know because it depends how many it would take before Remain won one (if ever)again how many referendums do you want?

Norway shares a 1000-mile border with Sweden which is a full member of the EU bloc just like the Republic of Ireland which shares a 300 mile border with the U.K. Both Sweden and the Republic of Ireland are both full member of the single market and customs union, however Norway which shares its 1000-mile border with Sweden is not a member of the EU customs union - meaning it sets its own tariffs on customs coming from outside the EU and so must carry out border checks.https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2018/feb/22/theresa-may-brexit-talks-chequers
Has any cabinet hated each other as much as this chaotic government's? asks the excellent Polly Toynbee.
She's right. The one thing the god-forsaken Tories will never admit is that they are split and divided from top-to-bottom.
As a person at the Chequers meeting was reported as saying tonight: “It all finished rather positively. It seems like everyone thinks they got what they wanted...”
Or in other words, the Tory infighting will continue and none of tough questions on Ireland, the customs union etc etc have been answered. It's more or less guaranteed that the next few days will prove this statement correct.
Meanwhile, the refusal of the government to face up to the serious consequences of leaving the EU is becoming extreme. A few days ago, the national press reported on the decision of the Dublin Port Authority to spend millions on providing new customs facilities in preparation for a hard Brexit.
Unsurprisingly, there are no preparations of a similar nature on the British side at Holyhead. Yet it is Britain that has decided to leave!
Thank goodness the rumblings from the Labour ranch on staying in the customs union are getting louder.

Good news .........................and just like clockwork, Conservatives re-balance the books after Labour ruined the economy and admitted there was no money left . (took a heck of a lot longer this time because of the latter and Labour's Usual Recession turned out to be Labour's Great Recession ) Labour then make the nation believe the Conservatives are evil for attempting to live within our means . Labour get voted in again . Rinse, repeat.You subscribe to the FT John, why have you kept this quiet

More dreadful news for the Remoaners but great news for UK plc and northern manufacturing . Hopefully we're on the way to becoming a nation of producers and not consumers . Good that these jobs are being created in the Brexit north rather than the Remoaner south .
Siemens claimed it would "employ up to 700 people in skilled engineering and manufacturing roles, plus an additional 250 people during the construction phase". Just the type of well paid jobs we need .
Two years late and differing only marginally from the fiscal reduction programme put forward by Gordon Brown, Ed Balls and the current Labour leadership. The last government to run a current account surplus was Labour in 2001-2.Good news .........................and just like clockwork, Conservatives re-balance the books after Labour ruined the economy and admitted there was no money left .

Just as an aside what do you know about train manufacture?Jürgen Maier, UK chief executive of Siemens, told the BBC’s Today programme on Friday that the group was counting on “frictionless trade”. “It is going to very difficult to not have friction without some sort of a customs union.” Now that'll confuse the Brexit pensioners.
Siemens decision is all about expansion of foreign-owned UK train manufacturing (shamelessly thrown away by the Tories) and nothing to do with Brexit or the EU.
There is an old saying "Money is only spent once". Your lot blew loads and we are ALL still paying for it.Two years late and differing only marginally from the fiscal reduction programme put forward by Gordon Brown, Ed Balls and the current Labour leadership. The last government to run a current account surplus was Labour in 2001-2.
Meanwhile thanks to ideological austerity the roads are potholed, Conservative councils are going bankrupt, the NHS is in crisis, schools are running out of money, the prisons are in crisis, the armed forces are shrinking, social care is collapsing, businesses are implementing plans to move into Europe, investment is declining, infrastructure is starved of funding, housing is in crisis and so on.
Shrinking the state was always the ideological goal and after a Hard Brexit - if it happens at all - it will decline to emaciation. As with any period of Conservative rule, the country will need reuilding again.

Sieman’s decision is about 700 skilled manufacturing jobs in the north . You should be rejoicing that a company from your beloved EU is creating those jobs. Typical remoaner , moaning about skilled jobs being created in the Brexit north. Why not go for the hat trick and moan about Toyota investment in Derbyshire & Bentley expansion in Crewe ? More great news for the Brexit northJürgen Maier, UK chief executive of Siemens, told the BBC’s Today programme on Friday that the group was counting on “frictionless trade”. “It is going to very difficult to not have friction without some sort of a customs union.”

4th time of asking what should the new rules be ? Best of how many ?Loved the question from the German journalist after May's ludicrous 10 cakes with cherries on top speech today.
"Prime Minister, is Brexit worth it"
Long pause...
"The British people voted for it..."
Yes, Maybot, but voted for what? A mad jumble of half facts? If and when there is a majority vote for the final 'deal', only then will the British people have voted for Mrs May's version of Brexit.
Until we get that final vote the fight will go on and on.
