Granny Danger Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 Labour still all over the place on Brexit. The next leader needs to impose some discipline. Anyone know why 3 SNP MPs missing from the vote? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know why 3 SNP MPs missing from the vote? IMO Corbyn missed two big chances to impose some party discipline after his decisive victories, he should have went on the offensive when he had the stock to do so, just like Boris did and now has the whole parliamentary party on his side. Re the votes, it looks like the Tories were 7 short so likely just pairing (which I don't think will be an issue in this parliament with the majority). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Corbyn’s record of voting against the whip he probably would have struggled for credibility. Ironically the big Tory majority puts the next party leader a very strong position. It doesn’t matter if Labour is voting against the Tories with 203 MPs or a lesser number it will not change the outcome. The Labour MPs should be getting told to unite behind the new leader or face the next five years on their own. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Jedi Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 And so the farce now 'begins', with a 6.7% (at best) contraction of the economy, and an average hit of £2,500 per year for everyone incoming. Chaos at ports in under a year, as red tape ties up imports and exports, financial services start moving their bases to Dublin, Frankfurt, Paris..many jobs are lost, and shockeroo there is no cash left over for 'new' hospitals, schools etc, and austerity mark II kicks in. Still trying to get my head around the fact that we have ended up in a situation where this shabby deal has been able to pass, never thought it would genuinely happen. Of course in the midst of the financial mess, it will drag on for years with little done in the way of 'trade' deals. And on the subject of 'its all about immigration in it', another shockeroo being that net migration doesn't change much. Not to worry though, Johnson, Rees-Mogg et al will make a nice nest egg out of it all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagfox Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 So we're going to have to pay for the privilege of having to continue with trading with Europe at an exchange rate that will worsen along with the drop in the economy. At least we don't have to worry about those pesky human rights or refugee children... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambieBud Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 40 Labour MPs abstained ffs. Including 2 shadow ministers.! Other than self preservation, how is that possible. The very point of Labour is supposed to be about internationalism 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
