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.

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 ...

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...

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...
