Now Macron starts to tighten the screw.

Quote:

The UK must provide more clarity about its negotiating position on Brexit, the French president has said.
Emmanuel Macron said the issues of EU citizens' rights, the exit bill and the Irish border question must be settled before talks could be held on trade.
On Friday, Theresa May made suggestions including a two-year transition period after Brexit, and that the UK pay the EU for "commitments" previously made.
She hoped this offer, made in a speech in Italy, would unblock Brexit talks.
In the first response by a European leader to the speech, Mr Macron welcomed her initiative, but said the British position still needed to be fleshed out.
"Before we move forward, we wish to clarify the issue of the regulation of European citizens, the financial terms of the exit and the question of Ireland," he said.
"If those three points are not clarified, then we cannot move forward on the rest."

Looking at the Sunday's newspapers front covers seems to suggest all out war as the knives are out for Mrs May.

Jeremy Corbyn has promised to listen to Labour members' calls to keep the UK in the EU single market - but warned it could hamper the government's ability to protect jobs and invest in industry.
The Labour leader said EU restrictions on state aid and pressure to privatise sectors like rail could cause problems.
He also predicted "a lot" of people would continue to come from the EU to work in the UK after Brexit.

When will he realise he can no longer hide the fact he is anti-EU

Jeremy Corbyn, the man with the corkscrew neck. Glue rotorwings to his ears, and he could fly.

Reminds me of Worzel Gummidge.

Momentum festival shows Labour's left is increasing its grip on party

Momentum's ever-growing presence at the Labour Party's annual conference shows no signs of slowing down.

Rose tinted glasses - check
1970's - check

All set to return to those day's of the past by turning back the clock once Labour wins the 2022 general election.

John McDonnell pledges to end PFI 'scandal' at Labour conference

John McDonnell has unveiled a plan to end new Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contracts and bring existing ones back 'in-house'.

http://news.sky.com/story/john-mcdon...rence-11052899

Tories bought in PFI in 1992 Labour were against it until they got in power and it became bigger under them.

Emily Thornberry you are not funny and that is a fact. Your useless attempt at a Boris joke made me cringe and wanting to throw a brick at the TV screen.

The second coming of Jeremy Corbyn.

Labour would allow hundreds of thousands of women born in the 1950s to retire at 64 on a reduced state pension, rather than wait until 66.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-41381583

Now that I could support because it would benefit my wife but the question I would ask is "How much of a reduced pension"?
