A senior member of Labour's shadow cabinet has criticised the party's decision to launch a disciplinary inquiry into MP Dame Margaret Hodge.

Shadow defence secretary Nia Griffith said it was "completely absurd" and she felt it was unlikely to go ahead.
Dame Margaret could face possible disciplinary action for accusing Jeremy Corbyn of being an anti-Semite.

Wow a lot would leave the UK if old JC wins the next election. Once again this one returns to haunt JC.

Brexit: Barnier rules out key UK customs proposal

The EU's chief negotiator has ruled out allowing the UK to collect customs duties on its behalf, a key UK proposal for post-Brexit trade.
Michel Barnier said the UK wanted to "take back control" of its money, law and borders - but so did the EU.

More evidence to suggest Brexit is dead in the water as it stands. PM May get your arse back to Westminster along with the rest of you MP's we are facing a total sham and crash bang its all going to pot situation.

Prime Minister Theresa May is to hold Brexit talks with the Austrian chancellor on Friday before heading off on her summer holiday.
Mrs May will also attend a music festival in Salzburg as a guest of Chancellor Sebastian Kurz.
She is holding talks with Mr Kurz and Czech PM Andrej Babis as she seeks to win support for her proposals for the UK's future relationship with the EU.

But the EU's chief Brexit negotiator has rejected a key element of her plan.

So what is the point? This women is a sham of a PM.

Boris is at it again...

Boris Johnson in call to ‘chuck Chequers’ as he renews assault on Theresa May’s Brexit plans

Boris Johnson has fired another broadside at Theresa May’s Brexit plans, branding them unworkable and calling on fellow Tory MPs to “chuck Chequers”.
The former foreign secretary – who walked out of the Cabinet days after signing up to the package at the Prime Minister’s country residence – said Mrs May’s blueprint would leave the UK in “vassalage, satrapy, colony status” to the EU.

Pro-Brexit Labour MP Kate Hoey has vowed to resist efforts to deselect her after her local party in Vauxhall passed a vote of no confidence in her.

The activists are calling on Labour to suspend her from the party and declare her ineligible to stand as a candidate.

They have accused her of "colluding" with UKIP's Nigel Farage and "propping up a failing government".

The madness from within is still rife apparently.

^ As usual, the comments are the best :haha:

"This morning Sky News reported that Mrs May was going to Australia. Whilst I was busy thinking that Savid Javid had reintroduced transportation, it transpired she had only gone as far as Salzburg. What a disappointment!
For the next month or so we are going to see UK ministers up to their old game of trying divide and rule on the natives of Europe. I can't see it working somehow."

British public opinion has shifted sharply against Brexit, according to a new Sky Data poll.

The survey reveals:
:: The government is haemorrhaging trust regarding the Brexit negotiations

:: Two-thirds of the public - including a majority of Leave voters - now think the outcome of Brexit negotiations will be bad for Britain

:: A significant increase in the proportion who think Brexit will negatively affect themselves personally, the economy and the country overall

:: Most people would like to see a referendum asking between the deal suggested by the government, no deal, and remaining in the EU.

I knew PM May would botch it the second she delayed Article 50 for six months. Stand by for a massive mess next March as PM May orders the Army out on the streets. :doh: :ping: :o :wah:

That last bit about the Army is another story. :03:

Does "78% thinking the government is doing a bad job about brexit" mean they are also against brexit? Probably not.
Up jumps Nigel Farage, the saviour of the suppressed.
And Steve Bannon, if god does not help you.

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt mistakenly referred to his wife as Japanese during a visit to Beijing to discuss post-Brexit trade deals between the UK and China.

Mr Hunt's wife is actually Chinese.

I don't know about the poll but when this subject comes up on the radio I hear those who voted stay and leave both think its all gone to pot. Seems like both sides have something in common. :hmmm:
