Brexit talks collapse bring Britain closer to no deal exit from EU says Stephen Kinnock

Kinnock seems to have jumped to the wrong conclusion for all the wrong reasons. To argue that we should have agreed the "May deal" and then go on to suggest that we will, "crash out of the EU on October 31st with no deal", ignores the reality of what is actually taking place in the political arena at this time. Yes, the Brexit Party (hard Brexit) may do well in the European elections next Thursday, but then the Libdems (Remain or even revoke Article 50) are predicted to do well at the Ballot box too. Where then does this leave the Labour party?
The Commons have already ruled out the idea of "no deal" but Kinnock, who still seems to harbour leadership ambitions, ignores Labour party policy to advocate a route which would embarrass the party leadership. It is not and never has been, a choice between the Theresa May "deal" or "hard Brexit". If or when the Conservative party leadership election actually takes place, the new leader and therefore Prime Minister, will most certainly be a "hard Brexiteer" and then could tear up any agreement which May might have concluded. The solution to this seemingly insoluble problem (regardless of what Kinnock may argue) could be for the Labour party to adopt a position which either promotes a "Soft Brexit" with a second referendum or revokes Article 50 entirely, which would allow a general election with the new Government being able to sort out the mess that the present government have created over the last three years. To suggest that the choice is either the "Theresa May deal" or a "Hard Brexit on October 31st" is wrong and could even be argued as mischievous.

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...

The writing on the wall

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-government-zero-hour-contract-ban-latest-a9257281.html?fbclid=IwAR0OW6qhoVnO9MVH-E9ruKFLnL_V3NQ5PMpYEkGGHEXskJxkAsrr2UJjRIs Two-thirds of voters want  Boris Johnson ‘s government to ban zero-hours contracts, a poll has found. There will be many people over the coming months and years who will tell the "pollsters" that something should be done about the homeless, or the costs of electric, gas and water, or about the costs of public transport, or the failing (and privatised) NHS, or the excessive profits and tax avoidance of large corporations. etc. To all those I say, that if you did not vote Labour then you have only yourselves to blame and you must bear the consequences of your actions. Johnson a nd his sycophant cronies have been given a blank cheque to do as they please and sell off vast portions of the British economy to the Americans, (the takeover of British defence giant Cobham by a US private equi...

Greed and envy are good says Boris Johnson.

  http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/embrace-culture-of-greed-says-boris-johnson-8968276.html Embrace culture of greed, says Boris Johnson Boris Johnson.  "I stress – I don't believe that economic equality is possible; indeed some measure of inequality is essential for the spirit of envy and keeping up with the Joneses that is, like greed, a valuable spur to economic activity." Johnson delivering the annual Margaret Thatcher lecture at the Centre for Policy Studies think-tank, Wednesday 27th November 2013 Boris Johnson seeks to emulate Thatcher. He appeals to the evil side of the "nasty" party, for a society where greed is good, where selfishness is encouraged, where division amongst people by envy and status is championed as a proper objective and where the excesses of business and government are regarded as appropriate and right for the advancement of the few at the expense of the many. Johnson is an evil man with evil intent...
