UK Politics Thread

[Jimbuna]

Confidential documents that "reflect the ideas the UK has put forward" on Brexit have been shared with the EU, the UK government says.

It shouldn't be long before the contents are leaked.

The Eu as given Boris 12 days to come up with a Brexit plan.
Even though I'm not big fan of the EU, I really do sympathize with their lack of patience with us at this point.

Boris will no doubt be'll be like the schoolkid who did his homework on the bus, the day it was due to be handed in.
3 years they've had.

I reckon we're in the 'protect us from blame' game now.

Nobody wants to carry the can when it goes pear shaped. Not that it hasn't already been like that for a very long time now.

I doubt a leak is worth it. The uk government called them 'non-papers', another smoke screen to pretend Johnson does all he can for a deal.

While 'all that he can' is maybe the problem

Well, either way we'll know soon enough.

The Supreme Court decision is due early next week.

Who cares it's all tripe, it's just a game too them. There all farting around like a load of headless chicken's trying to make out how important they are. Too sum up the gravy train.

Sounds fair and balanced Kai

Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay is to hold talks with the EU's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, later.

The Brussels meeting follows European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker saying a new Brexit deal could still be reached before 31 October.

Hopefully one of them might pull a rabbit out of the hat but I somehow doubt it.

Nah it will be big a bloody mess. This is Boris we're talking about.

UKIP has struggled badly since helping to secure a leave vote in the 2016 EU referendum.

Earlier this week the party's newly-elected UK leader, Richard Braine, said he would not be attending the conference due to "low ticket sales".

Party chair Kirstan Herriot described the decision as "an insult".

Having come out on top across the UK in the 2014 European elections, UKIP finished eighth this time around, losing all its MEPs as the Brexit Party - led by former UKIP leader Nigel Farage - swept to victory, raising further questions about UKIP's future and relevance.

Looks like UKIP have had their day.

Labour MP Harriet Harman says she will "not back down" in the race to replace John Bercow as Commons Speaker, despite objections from her local party.

Members in Camberwell and Peckham, London, voted to urge her to pull out, and hinted they could run a candidate against her at the next election.

But the ex-Labour deputy leader said her devotion to her constituency would be "unshakeable" if she became Speaker.

Obviously determined to drink from the poisoned chalice.

They were finished the second Nigel and the sensible ones left leaving it to the right wing thugs and trash. Like the BNP they just can not get it though their cave man heads their day is over, time to close up shop and shut the shutters.
