Tories and Labour savaged as voters take Brexit revenge

We are all (mostly) agreed that to leave the EU with no "deal" and no solution to the Northern Ireland border problem, would be an unmitigated disaster for the people of the United Kingdom and for the economy of the country. The results of the European elections, demonstrate that there is a majority of opinion in this country which favours a "remain" position as the majority of votes went to those parties which advocate remaining in the EU or favour a second referendum.We ignore Farage and his Brexit party vote at our peril, but the fact remains that the Liberal Democrats, the Greens, SNP and the others from the remain side of the argument, outweighed the Brexiteers by more than the difference in the referendum result. There has been a significant shift in opinion sine the referendum and we must recognise this fact.We know that this Conservative government and its new leader, who ever he or she may be, are hell bent on leaving the EU on the 31st October with or as is more likely without, any "deal" which means that we crash out of Europe at midnight on that day and into a disastrous aftermath. Where then does this leave our party?
Clearly, we have to win back those voters who turned to the Liberal Democrats, the Greens, SNP and the others, because we did not and still do not offer a clear, distinct and credible vision of what is the way forward.

As from today, our message must be clear. We must press for revocation of Article 50 and a General election in order to change the mathematics of the House of Commons which will restore some sanity and resolve the chaos of the last three years. If we do not shout this message from he rooftops, the new Tory party leader will drag this country into disaster.

Northern Ireland and Brexit. The return of "The Troubles"

Northern Ireland: police attacked in another night of disturbances | Northern Ireland | The Guardian When the "Brexit" debate was still filling our newspapers and our television screens, readers may remember why I had changed my mind since voting to leave at the referendum vote. Apart from the economic arguments, which had become crystal clear after peeling away all the lies and misrepresentations trotted out by Bozo Boris and his "Get Brexit Done" conspirators, there was always the problem of the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Would it be possible to have a border between the European Union and the United Kingdom where people, goods and services could pass freely between the two nations without customs restrictions, tariffs, duties and all the other formalities? Would it be possible to have one part of the United Kingdom treated differently from other parts of the United Kingdom, particularly when Scotland for example had voted overwhe

Plemont development or return to nature?

  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-jersey-  A date has been set for a public inquiry into plans for Plemont Headland. This exceptional location must be sold to the National trust for Jersey, and returned to nature. Any other outcome involving development of the site, can only demonstrate the extent to which greed and self interest have become endemic in Jersey.

The Parliamentary Labour Party conspirators are hatching another coup.

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-labour-leadership-rebel-mps-a7202641.html Labour MPs plan for Corbyn victory  and plot how to confront an emboldened leader Even for the "Independent", the number and use of unnamed anonymous "sources" in this article is quite astonishing. However, amongst all the usual speculative delusion, there is one factor which causes concern to anyone who believes in the Labour Party, its principles and in he democratic process of the Labour movement. It is abundantly clear that elements within the Parliamentary Labour Party, are even now, planning another coup in the event that Jeremy Corbyn should emerge as winner in the current ballot. The failed coup of earlier this year, has now descended into a sham leadership election, because the conspirators still fail to accept the democratic decision of the Labour party membership and cling to
