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.

Enough of this hysterical nonsense

http://style.uk.msn.com/royal-baby/how-will-the-royal-baby-look-as-he-grows-up Media generated hysteria. This is too much. For the last 36 hours (thought it seems more like 36 days) there has been wall to wall news coverage, media and television comment and reporting, with Sky News taking first prize for frenzied minute by minute reporting from the Palace, the hospital, from a village somewhere in England, from the studio and anywhere else that Burley, Botting and company could stick a microphone into some obscure "celebrity's" face and ask for yet another banal quote. All this galvanising the mass hysteria of some elements of the public, (who the media would have you believe is the reaction of "the whole world",) with their flag waving, dancing, singing and cheering over what is after all, no more than a woman having a bab...

New Agenda on Sunday is out Sunday, Apr. 28, 2019

https://paper.li/f-1346065353#/ Good morning everyone. Last weeks scare regarding Megan and Harry being sent to live "somewhere in Africa" seems to have been dispelled, at least for the time being. It now seems that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will take up residence in California. Unless they are actually doing some proper work in "The Golden State", I hope that they are taken off the civil list so that we do not have to fund their life choice. The nauseating Daily Mail is at it again. A headline this week, which I will not even bother to reproduce here, screams out in disgusting and repulsive bias without any acknowledgement to the factual basis of their "story". Spewing out their usual smears and embellished distortions about Hamas, the IRA, Hezbollah and the rest, the Mail condemns itself with ample justification, for the closure of a "newspaper," which again abuses 10 fold, the privilege of "freedom of t...

A perverse and rather sinister media obsession to discredit, smear and undermine Jeremy Corbyn

http://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/venezuela-jeremy-corbyn-blasted-for-not-condemning-president-maduro-a3606156.html#commentsDiv Venezuela: Jeremy Corbyn blasted for not condemning socialist President Nicolas Maduro as violent conflict escalates There is a perverse and rather sinister obsesseion with the media and particularly television "interveiwers", in seeking to secure from Jeremy Corbyn a "condemnation" of some person or organisation or event. This time it is connected with events in Venezuela and the actions of President Nicolas Maduro and the bloody crackdown on protests against the result of last weeks poll which inaugurated a constituent assembly . The media "stories" and the interrogation by the television interviewers, are as subtle as a sledgehammer being nothing more than a variation on the "Have you stopped beating your wife yet?" question, which so many repoters use in order for them to make themselves appear very ...
