UK Politics Thread

The UK will be kicked out of the European Arrest Warrant deal after Brexit, EU chief negotiator Michel Barnier has said.

The warrant allows EU members to request the arrest and detention of criminals in other countries without extradition talks between them.

The UK wants to stay part of the system when it leaves the EU next March.

But Mr Barnier said the UK could not, because of its desire to leave the EU's court and free movement scheme.

Now here's the real rub....so much and so many rules intertwined

Okay, no problem we'll continue to govern our own people and observe and make our own laws and you lot can stop being ever more reliant on our security services.

My understanding is that a growing number of our trained medical staff prefer to go abroad once qualified for higher renumeration packages and a higher standard of living.

Maybe now that Cuba has the Obama stamp of approval you can get some coyotes to bring some Cuban doctors to you from the hell holes where they've been sold into a form of slavery. I'm sure they'd be happy to get all their pay instead of having the Cuban government get three quarters of it.

Holyrood will not give consent to any further Brexit legislation until the "broken" devolution system is fixed, Scotland's Brexit Minister has said.

Hardly surprising and I should imagine a new independence campaign will commence shortly after brexit.

Just popped in before the heatwave strikes, not much going on at the HoC apart from the usual BS and backstabbing along with Scotland and Wales having a bitch session.

I will be back when the heat wave breaks, when that will happen no idea as the weather forecasters keep gloating how hot its going to be a possible records will be smashed.

[Jimbuna]

Some call it 'Broken record' syndrome.

"Britain to be hotter that Spain!"

....Checks the weather in Spain

....about 25 degrees or something

Our weather forecast is about as accurate as a V1 flying bomb.

Who was it that said he'd lie down in front of the bulldozers to prevent the building of a third Heathrow runway yet happens to be conveniently abroad during the parliamentary vote on the matter today?

Answer: Most certainly a clown but I'm not sure if his name is Ronald McDonald

Boris Johnson has refused to deny claims he used an expletive when asked about business concerns about Brexit.

The foreign secretary is reported to have used the swear word at a diplomatic gathering last week.

Asked about this in the Commons, he said he may have "expressed scepticism about some of the views of those who profess to speak up for business".

Theresa May said it was right the government listened to business voices about the terms of the UK's exit.
