The government is in "pretty good shape" to cope with a no-deal Brexit, the head of civil service has said.

Speaking at an event organised by the Institute for Government, Cabinet Secretary Sir Mark Sedwill said there had been "a lot of preparation".

He said: "We have got the government in pretty good shape and public services in pretty good shape for it".

Jeremy Corbyn has questioned whether the government has "credible evidence" to show Iran is behind the attacks on two oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman.

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt said responsibility for Thursday's attacks "almost certainly" lies with the Iranian regime.

But the Labour leader tweeted that there was no evidence for this.

Mr Hunt responded that Mr Corbyn's comments were "pathetic" and said he should back British intelligence.

Every so often his true colours come through. Unfit for the Labour Party, come on sensible Labour get rid of him and his gang.

Jimbuna 06-15-19 07:28 AM

That isn't going to happen whilst Momentum are around.

The second televised debate, the one Johnson has agreed to attend could get interesting if Rory Stewart survives the next round of voting (unlikely).

This article explains well the act of proroguing Parliament and the potential consequences.

Because asking for hard evidence? The UK has always been quick in being on the US side recently. I also remember some of it has been a scam.
Whatever you think of Corbyn, is it too much to request real evidence from (y)our allies before starting another war in the Middle East?
Does the UK have real hard evidence as you mentioned? :hmmm:

'We have no reason not to believe the American assessment and our instinct is to believe it because they are our closest ally'
- Jeremy Hunt, UK foreign secretary

Being an ally is obviously enough. Good they never played you before.
But maybe it helps you with the US post brexit negotiations :03:

So Boris Johnson is the favorite to take over.

What I wonder is:

What does or what can he do what May couldn't do about this Brexit ?

And can he do better than the other candidate ?

Probably absolutely nothing, the guy is deemed a clown by too many at home and on the international stage.

No matter which head it will be trying to break through it, the wall said head is up against is still the same.


What I wonder is how easily politicians can get away even with saying two totally contradictory things on one and the very same day, just hours apart,with running cameras and open mikes around.

That's politics and politicians the world over these days Sky :yep:

Rory Stewart seems to be the only one that can see the EU is finished on the Brexit issue no more talks or deals. Clearly on the make but its not his time yet.

Jimbuna 06-17-19 05:36 AM

Didn't even bother going to the trouble to watch last nights debate :shifty:

No Boris no point, just as well I was watching M*A*S*H far more entertaining. I will not bother watching it on catch up or on line as said no Boris no point. :)

Jimbuna 06-17-19 05:57 AM

I'll not bother when the clown makes his appearance either.

BossMark 06-17-19 06:31 AM

Me neither would rather watch grass grow, thats a lot more entertaining.

Labour's deputy leader Tom Watson has described another Brexit referendum as "the least worst option" and urged his party to throw its weight behind one.

Speaking to the BBC, he said Labour should then fight for Remain, even though "we might lose some votes".
