Brexit: Gavin Williamson attacks Theresa May's talks with Labour

Mrs May is hoping to reach a cross-party consensus on her withdrawal agreement after failing to get it through Parliament three times.

But Mr Williamson - sacked over the Huawei leak - told the Mail on Sunday the talks were "destined to fail".

Theresa May is being mocked for this video of her playing football.

Theresa May has decided to commemorate a "historic week" for English football by tweeting a video of herself kicking a ball around with some children in her local constituency.

She wanted to commemorate the fact that Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur successfully reached the Champions League final and Arsenal and Chelsea will play each other in the Europa League final.

Such a shame when you are mocked and ridiculed for celebrating what is a record breaking achievement.

Far rather the above than one of Steptoe on one of his bindipping exercises.

Brian Walden: Broadcaster and former Labour MP dies aged 86

The broadcaster was known for his tough political interviews, including with Margaret Thatcher in 1989 which helped speed up the then-prime minister's downfall.

The last great political interviewer who asked the real hard hitting no nonsense questions, a giant of his time. They don't make them like him anymore which is a pity we need more Waldens.

Brexit Party by Farrange stronger than Tories and Labour together, currently. I think on the continent they fundamentally underestimate how deeply the Britons are fed up with the EU and rate sovereignty and freedom over vasallship and 50 silver coins. I mean nobody should take the Britons as so stupid that they all do not know that Farrange nonsensed them the first time. If they still support his new party now this strongly, with this clown at its helm, then this really tells something.

Bet that self-declared flagship politicians of supreme EU civilization nevertheless will refuse to understand the message? :haha: The EU light must shine so bright that it convinces everybody. It must shine brightest. It just must. It... must... :har:

EVERYTHING will depend on how big a turnout the two main parties will be able to muster of their loyal followers.

One thing for sure though, there are a great many disgruntled amongst them who will probably view this forthcoming election as being their last hurrah.

The polls can not be trusted, remember the last general election the polls said May was going to floor it with a big majority. And what happen? Hung Parliament. I rest my case.

Change UK leader MP Heidi Allen has challenged Brexit Party leader Nigel Farage to a live TV debate ahead of the European elections.

In her party's election broadcast, Ms Allen said she thinks a debate is "overdue" as there is "so much at stake" in the vote on 23 May.

She said the leaders needed to "share with the British people our vision for the future".

But Mr Farage has declined, saying: "Who is she?"
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-48265260

Now that I would like to see happen but Nigel is obviously acutely aware of his limitations where political debates are concerned.
