You will need a lot of it :03:
And the question is whether having a national plan will be good enough for international requirements and established treaties that will now all fall away after decades of negotiations. I do not mean quality-wise, but e.g. regarding ecological and trade standards, and educational exchange, both ways.
I really wish all the best and trade will of course persist, and it is not even entirely altruistic, because what hurts one partner usually also hurts the rest in the long run :hmmm:

So, a Happy New Year and may the spirit be with you :up:

Today's politicians are a load of self righteous so and so's who are there to milk the system and the voters can go to the wall until they need our votes.


Len McCluskey: 'Awful' polling could derail Corbyn

Jeremy Corbyn could step down if Labour's fortunes do not improve before the next general election in 2020, one of his closest allies has suggested.

I just can not see that happening.

Labour too weak to win election alone, Fabian Society says
Labour is "too weak" to win a general election alone and should consider working with rival parties, a left-of-centre think tank has said in a report.

Team up with little Tim? :hmmm:

Anyway moving on but staying on the Jeremy Corbyn agenda Nigel Farage was hosting a show last night on LBC and the first subject was old JC. What I found interesting is the number of divided Labour supporters ringing in. Some clearly off their trolley saying old JC will win the next general election and others who are fed up with JC.

First hour is worth a listen...

Cancel the invasion of Russia, and tune in to Sky News.

British taxpayers' money will no longer be used to fund a five-member Ethiopian girl band, the government has said.
International Development Secretary Priti Patel announced a review of the funding last month after reports that pop group Yegna received £5.2m.
That some could have many alternative benefits for the UK homeless to name just one alternative :hmmm:

Quote:

But the government said there are "more effective ways" to invest UK aid.
Absolutely.

^I wish I could have a sum of money like that. :03:

Watched Sophy Ridge on Sunday on SKY News and found her lacklustre, she needs to beef up her act and questions or these politicians will continual to run rings around her just like the PM did.

STEED 01-08-17 07:51 AM

Will Monday see old JC come out fighting in the NHS debate or sent back to the naughty step. If he fails to show any kind of holding his ground and punching back with hard hitting questions and statements then he may as well forget to new make over.
