????..more credibility for brexit?


She doesn t seem to know even the basic in economy and business. Everybody can see that..


Not sure about Her negotiating skills as she managed to put off 27 countries before even starting a brexit that should have been orderly, collaborative and friendly


She has made a number of spectacular U turns on pretty much every subject in spite of "strong and stable"


She campaigned and voted as a remainer..


Yeap..credibilty ...

Even though most of us might wish Jeremy good luck today, there is a potential problem if he ever becomes prime minister.


Based on an imaginary scenario of him applying to join MI5, MI6 or GCHQ, he would be rejected outright because of his past stance on several issues and his association with the likes of the IRA, Hamas and Hizbollah, etc , plus the fact that his adviser (Andrew Murray) is a member of the Communist Party. He would be considered a major security risk.


Every prime minister has to receive security briefings of the most secret nature and this presents a major issue should JC ever get to No10. Probably also the US, Canadian, and Australian intelligence agencies with whom we have a info sharing arrangement, might well decide to terminate co-operation.


The law of unintended consequences may dictate a very embarassing situation.

Although the PM is subject to the OSA, as an MP s/he is not subject to vetting. Also under the Intelligence Services Act the security agencies are legally obliged to disclose all relevant information to the PM and would be in breach of the law if they didn't.


The idea that the security agencies would refuse to disclose information to Corbyn as PM is as far fetched as...well, as Corbyn being PM, unfortunately.

..Nobody likes him..nobody trust her..

At least he has been strong and stable in his positions since ever and will work for the country no for herself or for her lust for power

that s how i see it

She knows nothing about economy, has been saying everything and the opposite and she is more of a remeiner than he is..

You know anyway where conservative gonna take the country....is it?

Borky is not real - the poltroonery on show seems to from proper people

I have to agree borky. Some absolute fruit cakes knocking about on this forum recently. With the exception of some informed and diplomatic voices from some of the EDF stalwarts, threads like these are taken completely off topic and into the extremes of rational thinking. I miss the good old days of polite, cordial debates, that were never personal, and resulted in good will despite defined differences between intelligent minds. It's good to know some of us remain dignified in our responses. Bring back 2007.

Now that much of the rancour, lofty idealism and tribalism has faded from this thread, it might be appropriate to pass on the comments of one foreign observer


Quote?

I note with regret that few if any, will recall the comments made by the late JFK during his visit to Berlin when he famously said "Ich bin ein Berliner". His crunch point was " Ask not what your country can do for you. Rather ask what you can do for your country"! Not one of the political parties articulated those sentiments. Shame on you all


?????????..


This foreign observer has actually mixed up JFK's inaugural address with his Berlin speech but the underlying sentiment is the same.

    • Hi, I went to the council's planning portal to look at the application, and I encourage others to look at it. It looks like a pleasant building, with thoughtful landscaping. as Pugwash said, the big oak would be retained, only two smaller trees are supposed to be cut, one of which is already dead according to the Tree Survey. It sounds like 38 people in great need of it will gain supported housing thanks to this development, a very positive change. Of course a solution has to be found for the 3 who will need to find other accommodation during the works, but that doesn't seem enough of a reason to oppose the development. The current building is 4 stories, so I would be surprised if one extra storey was considered objectionable, especially considering the big oak stands between the building and the neighbours' back gardens and the fact that the neighbours it's backing onto are all 5 stories houses themselves or only have blank walls facing the building. In the context where affordable housing is sorely missing, a 100% supported housing development is great news. Personally I've never seen a less objectionable planning request
    • I also wonder if all this, recently events and so many u turns is going to also be the end of Kier Starmer.
    • And I replied: Mandelson and Trump have much in common. They are both shallow, vulgar and vain. They both fetishise wealth and power, irrespective of who holds it or how it was accumulated. They were both close friends and associates of the late Jeffrey Epstein and have moved in the same circles, as Ghislaine Maxwell’s address book allegedly confirms. Recognising another who is utterly transactional and lacking in a moral compass, there’s every chance of “Petie” fitting right in Mar-a-Largo. That Starmer couldn’t anticipate that Mandelson’s past behaviour would be problematic just proves how inept this government is.
    • Can't agree with that because he is a superb communicator - a really smart and  smooth talker. He studied PPE at Oxford and was communications director for Labour for many years.  Setting aside the "minor"  indiscretions during his time in government he has all the smoothness and ability to flatter Trump without appearing obsequious. Plus he can manage and exploit  Trump’s ego. He is highly polished socially, comfortable in elite circles, skilled at making personal connections. He can flatter and disarm, which is a useful tactic with Trump, who responds well to personal respect and praise. As a former EU Trade Commissioner and Cabinet minister, Mandelson understands international relations, trade, and diplomacy. He knows how to frame issues in terms of “wins” that Trump could claim credit for. I honestly hope that he survives.
