In the programme "  Behind closed doors" one of the EU negotiators said that he had seen David Davis  twice in the last six months.

What a b...y shower our  lot are.

This.^^^^

 

How he's not been tarred, feathered and dragged through streets of London by both remainers and leavers perplexed me.

 

Of course, in true Davies style  when he was hauled in front of a committee he blamed anyone and everyone else.

That's what brextremists do best and why we are in the mess we are

The party that helped impose austerity on the poorest, the Lib Dems, are using an offensive swear word to insult 17.4 million people who voted to Leave the EU.

 

Would you prefer the coalition government of Cameron and Clegg, or Mays current chaos?  I notice Amber Rudd recently cut the time limit for benefit sanctions, a move in the right direction, also a step towards the Torys being led by Rudd.

Amber Rudd has no chance in leading the Tory party mainly because she only won her seat at the last General Election by a few hundred votes.  If the Tory leadership goes to the Tory members than a pro Brexit candidate will win assuming her or she makes the final two. On the Peston ITV show,  they showed a statistic that 70%  of Tory members would have been okay with the UK leaving the EU without a deal.

In 2015 she had a majority of 5,000, not as many safe seats around these days.

Poll surge for Farage sparks panic among Tories and Labour

 

"Senior Tory and Labour politicians have issued frantic calls to their voters to back them in next week’s European elections after a new poll showed support for Nigel Farage’s Brexit party had soared to a level higher than for the two main parties put together."

 

The Brexit party 34

Labour 21

Liberal Democrat 12 

Conservative 11

Green 8

Ukip 4 

SNP 4 

Change UK – The Independent Group 3

Oh dear. It looks as if the 17.4 million silent majority are going to make their views on Brexit known at the European elections. Not good for those Remainers who still haven't accepted the democratic result of the June 2016 referendum...

So Carboot is advocating the use of our already stretched police service for the Lib Dem’s literature?

 

Are you crazy? But leaflets from the likes of the EDL or BNP are ok?

 

 

It's very disturbing that you believe that EDL and BNP literature is okay.

 

The Royal mail wll inspect all parties election material before it allows it's workers to distribute. If extremist BNP or Liberal Democrat propaganda is offensive, or illegal, it will not be distributed.

You're asking the wrong question. Supporting the party is not the same as voting for them and the numbers seem to suggest that the Brexit Party will pick up millions of votes from all the other parties because of their position on leaving the EU. The clue is in the name not the people or policies, which basically amount to one thing - Leave the EU.

These Euro elections are not a test of how much people want to leave the EU, in the same way that the local elections were not an indicator of how popular the Liberal Democrats were. Its all getting very complicated.

People should be voting for a good MEP.
