    The Labour lot keep saying that the negotiations with the government are getting nowhere because of the government's red lines.
    What a stupid statement, as Labour also has it's red lines and neither will budge.
    I hope they don't cave in to Labour, as Labour's version is pretty much remaining but being on the outside.

      Both sides have been saying the same since week 1 of the talks. Seems painful that they haven't declared it a waste of time yet which it clearly is and both sides have as much said so. Nothing more than a puff piece to waste more time

        No surprise today that daftie Boris is going for the Tory top job. So the choice will be Boris or some sad old champagne socialist from the labour party at the next election.
        I can see old Corbyn getting knifed in the back by one of his comrades and being replaced with emily thornberry the queen of london champagne socialists.

              Can't think anyone can be worse than the current party leaders. On par perhaps but not worse! Time to get the new broom through the corridors

                And the cross party talks have collapsed. Who'd a thunk it?

                    Every bit as doomed as the tories agreeing about the very thing that most of them claim to want - Brexit! Or do any of them actually want Brexit if it provides no gain to their own careers? I've said it all along and I staand by this - the British people were led up the garden path by a bunch of liars whose only interest, only consideration, was what it would do for their career.

                      I agree to a point but surely the peoples of this country aren't that naive or is that me being naive !

                          I've said before and I'll say it again, I've now voted twice to NOT be part of the EU, a long time between votes and a lot learned in those years, but some now want me to vote a third time.

                          The British people have been lead up the garden path in every election I can remember, if anyone was lead it is most likely to be young first time voters who just haven't been around long enough to make up their own minds and believe everything they are told by politicians.

                            Boris is an academic. Educated to the nth degree. But a clever man? No. A wise man? No. A decisive man? No. A potentially great leader? No.
                            How can the tories not see what the rest of us see, viz., a bumbling, gaff prone buffoon?:noidea:

                            Far too many of those R soles involved in this process, on all sides.

                            To that I will add, everyone will rise to their own level of incompetence.
                            And Scum will always rise to the top.

                              Should Boris even be allowed to become PM ? Hes an American citizen aswell as British.

                              In many countries he wouldnt be allowed to , eg Australia

                              Whos side would he really be on during Us Uk trade talks ?
