The shopping list for Hammond to stump up for could be very long and expensive...
But no country can veto a revocation.
I now see how a revocation would appeal. But no PM would ever do it.
Well if Parliament instructed the PM to do so...
There would then be a huge legal challenge about whether they could. In spite of the Miller case the conclusion (or not) of treaties remains a matter for Royal Prerogative. The successful argument in the Miller case was that Article 50, if carried top its logical conclusion of Brexit, changed the rights of UK citizens and could only therefore be done with primary legislation through Parliament. Revoking does not do that and so the argument would be made (and has been already) that it remains part of the Royal Prerogative.
The Strangeness continues. That poll was taken at one of the peaks of Tory clustershambling. Yet still they have a very healthy lead. Corbyn is a disaster.
How soon before McDonnell takes the old carthorse to the knackers yard?
Never. Corbyn's 2017 recovery means his supporters will never care about poor polling ever again. Only something they regard as a betrayal will ruin him, and the reaction to the Tiggers of Watson and co to fight harder but never leave means he's weakened but still safe.
Sean - Sadiq delivered the Night Tube. Unlike Boris who kept saying he would deliver it, but failed because he couldn’t make a deal in a card room.
OK, fair play. The Night Tube. I’m not sure how much credit he can really take, it was long in the planning, but it happened on his watch so OK.
However, and for the same reasons, the very palpable rise in crime - the new nervousness across London - which you can actually sense, in places, has also happened on his watch. And I think that entirely outweighs a few trains after midnight. London is a nastier city under Khan. I still love it, but it has an edginess I haven’t known for decades.
That edginess and nastiness is a nationwide phenomenon. I felt it recently in Bristol, Nottingham, and Leicester.
The coarsening of British life is not just a London or internet thing.
It is mainly because of mass immigration. Call me a fascist, but I’d say that is the main driver. It’s notable that the cities you cite have all seen huge immigration in the last decade or three.
And it’s not because migrants are horrible or evil, or any worse than the Brits, it’s more because SOME of them are horrible and evil because they come from terrible places - like Somalia - where violence was part of daily life. And you only need a few deranged and persistent offenders to ramp up crime. Plus a huge influx of foreigners breaks down the bonds of trust and familiarity which keep a society in order.
Look at Japan. Zero immigration, zero crime.
Depends.
As often as not, the completely unsocialised kids, and the drug dealers’ offspring, are the white British, while the Asian first generation immigrant kids the ones committed to learning.
Steve Jobs was the son of an immigrant. Sergei Brin was an immigrant.
And Japan is zero immigrant no longer. They need bodies.
Coincidentally the last thing I watched was Top Gear. But before that I think it might have been around Christmas that I last watched normal TV. I regularly go months between "turning the TV on".
Year before last my aerial cable was damaged, and I never got around to fixing it. Realised eventually I never watched the TV at all, and then cancelled my licence.
Prime+netflix is only £176/year total, and there's more there than I could ever watch.
Prime and Netflix are far greater value for money than the BBC. The BBC needs to evolve or die, either go commercial or subscription. If the BBC disappeared tomorrow it would barely affect my TV experiences.
If forced to give up either the BBC or Netflix/Prime, I would reluctantly let the BBC go. That’s how bad it is for them.
Luckily I can afford both. Most can’t. Especially as many are also paying for Sky to watch sports.
Another thing which is hitting British TV hard is YouTube.
Indeed. I have a television. I have a laptop. I switch the laptop on and watch YouTube. I do not switch the television on any more. I'm genuinely thinking of taking it to the dump.
You could watch YouTube on your tv.
It's an old cheap TV. But it has given sterling service for over ten years and I will be sad to see it go. I know objects are not self-aware and it's not a good idea to anthropomorphise but, well...
There are a huge number of British regional towns and cities where the feeling of menace is nothing to do with immigration. These are generally places quite homogenous that felt relatively safe up to the tail end of the 70's, and in many other places, the early 80s.

Not sure he is a "reliable source" but a four year extension to A50 makes crazy sense for the EU. It removes the cliff edge that no longer benefits the EU. The UK will either accept the Withdrawal Agreement or give up, which is quite likely to be before the four years are up . The UK will be on best behaviour during the extension because it will want a deal of some sort from the EU.

Lmao ! A reliable EU source says 4 years . What comedy . I’d expect an extension to replace the transition period upto December 2020 would be the most offered . Flynn is just trying to fire up the angry mob .

I can only speak from experience, as I don’t think British offender crime stats are broken down by race. Too incendiary.
I’ve had lots of friends mugged in London, some very nastily. 80% of the time at least it was black muggers. Sorry to be blunt, but that is the case. Everyone knows it.
The rape stats are even worse. I once read a book by impeccably liberal Helena Kennedy QC, about rape, and she says in the book “if they ever release rape statistics by race there might be riots”.
Of course this is probably the whitefella’s fault, because Empire, slavery, blackfaced Cornishmen, lack of media attention paid to murder victims like Stephen Lawrence, and so forth,

There was plenty of violent crime back then plus trouble from football hooligans, political demos, picket line strikes. Chucking out time from pubs and clubs could certainly be 'vibrant'.

Elephant and Castle, Peckham and Old Kent road in late 70's early 80's were "fun"
I had friends who lived on a housing estate in Peckham - every few weeks I spent Sunday in one of their places - leaving at 10pm where my dad waited off the estate (pedestrianised) in his car.
not ashamed to say there were times I ran off that estate.
That place was grim.
I also witnessed a knife fight (by knife I mean one of them was a machete) which I saw from a walkway from above as I was walking to mates place - this was at 10am ish Sunday morning!
Gotta love the salt-of-the-earth, pukka working class names in that statement about Labour MPs.
Justin Madders, Emma Lewell-Buck, Yvonne Fovargue.
Probably all ex coal miners?
To be fair to Emma Lewell-Buck, she is from a working class background, and was a CP social worker in the north east, which isn't exactly a cushy number.

That is complete and utter garbage. It was the experts who said that if we voted to leave then the mere act of voting that way would result in an immediate recession even before we had begun the process of leaving. It was the experts who inspired Osbourne's threatened Emergency Punishment Budget. The experts got it wrong - as at least some of them have now admitted.
Picking out those few who didn't jump on the fear factor bandwagon and claiming they are representative of the whole lot when all those making the headlines were predicting disaster is no basis for claiming 'the experts' got it right.

52:48 counts as a decision. It's the way democracy works. Disagreeing is absolutely fine, I'm sure we all encourage it. Discounting a democratic vote totally though is somewhat more dubious. Soubry has done that from the day of the Brexit vote onwards. She's in a difficult place in doing so.

The current EU stance re any extension is taking a hard line to help May.
There’s no way they’ll want to be blamed for pushing the UK out . For a political commentator he really is clueless sometimes .

From the 4th to 8th March we had total Tory meltdown. As before and after
I wonder if the voters even care what the Tories do. They just don’t like Corbyn,
Luckily I can afford both. Most can’t. Especially as many are also paying for Sky to watch sports.
I think when more Government MPs are in the 202 than the 412 that calling it a "Government win" is a stretch.
*not Richard Burgon, obviously.
What's rarer is that this is third thoughts on Corbyn. People hated him - then they loved him (well, stopped hating him) - now they hate him again.
That's unusual for a politician.
Not sure he is a "reliable source" but a four year extension to A50 makes crazy sense for the EU. It removes the cliff edge that no longer benefits the EU. The UK will either accept the Withdrawal Agreement or give up, which is quite likely to be before the four years are up .
