SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - UK Politics Thread

Alex Salmond opened his first Edinburgh Fringe chat show by welcoming to the stage his "good pal" - Brexit minister David Davis.
The former first minister surprised the crowd of 350 at Edinburgh's Assembly Rooms with his choice of guest.
He introduced Mr Davis as "the next prime minister of the United Kingdom, perhaps the last prime minister of the United Kingdom".
Mr Salmond will perform 18 sold-out shows at the Fringe.
He has promised light-hearted banter and a few behind-the-scenes-revelations from his time in office.

Nigel Farage has said his friendship with Donald Trump is probably why a Hollywood studio is interested in making a TV series about Brexit.
An unnamed studio is reported to be in talks to adapt The Bad Boys of Brexit - former UKIP donor Arron Banks's account of Mr Farage's Brexit campaign.

According to the Sunday Times, Benedict Cumberbatch is being tipped to play Mr Farage, although the former UKIP leader joked: "I have to play myself, obviously."

A sharp increase in pest control costs in the Palace of Westminster has been blamed on the amount of work being done on the crumbling estate.
Explaining last year's £132,619 bill, Commons authorities said increased maintenance projects had "disturbed pests and made them more visible".
The mouse problem has got so bad, with sightings reported daily....

Machine guns, flame throwers, few tanks and one working nuclear missile should do the trick. :03:

General Election 2017: 6.5 million voted tactically on 8 June
The Electoral Reform Society is calling for a change to the UK's voting system after counting 22 million "wasted" votes.

Well I voted for a candidate I was not keen on. The rest were a sham and next time if I face that situation I will not be voting but will write on my voting papers the above are unfit to vote for.

Further proposals from the UK but the EU don't appear to be in any form of agreement atm.

Quote:

The UK government has set out proposals to ensure trade in goods and services can continue on the day the UK leaves the EU in March 2019.
A position paper calls for goods already on the market to be allowed to remain on sale in the UK and EU without additional restrictions.
It also calls for consumer protections to remain in place.

Quote:

But European Commission spokesman Alexander Winterstein said the UK's position papers would not alter the framework for talks drawn up by chief negotiator Michel Barnier and approved by the other 27 EU member states.
"There is a very clear structure in place, set by the EU27, about how these talks should be sequenced and that is exactly what we think should be happening now," Mr Winterstein told a Brussels press conference.
"So the fact that these papers are coming out is, as such, welcome because we see this as a positive step towards now really starting the process of negotiations.
"But as Michel Barnier has said time and again, we have to have sufficient progress first on the three areas of citizens' rights, financial settlement and Ireland, and only then can we move forwards to discussing the future relationship."
