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...

Workers face ban on striking .

Organisation and protests against the excesses of this Conservative government is essential. Should Harriet Harman suggest even partial support for Conservative policies, she is clearly in the wrong party.

Leave the clocks alone!

  https://www.kentonline.co.uk/kent/news/did-you-remember-to-put-clocks-forward-224737/ Sanity returns!!! The clocks have gone forward by one hour and perhaps now I can get some proper sleep, and return to normal in numerous other areas which have been disrupted since 25th October 2020. That pesky little person who steals an hour from my sleep and disrupts my time/body clock for the next 6 months, should be confined to a secure location for ever. Never again should I and thousands like me be disrupted every year and for no apparent reason by an outdated and tenuous notion of "daylight saving". In fact we should probably put another hour at the start of the Summer and then stay on Double British Summer Time (DBST). for the duration. Message for pesky little person "LEAVE THE BLOODY CLOCKS ALONE!"
