Wilts.1) Oh but Labour's policy on Brexit DOES matter. It's the reason that Labour has lost 6million supporters in 6 months. I think that matters rather a lot. Don't you?2) The classic blame-shifting line is neat. It might work on someone who didn't follow politics closely. Unfortunately I do. And I recall very clearly that Statement was pushing very hard for SM membership to be kept as an option in 2017. He was very loudly and publicly slapped down by Corbyn. Starmer is now working within the limits set for him by Corbyn. As for "Close to". Corbyn was pushing something very similar in mid 2017. The problem is, it's never been explained why we shouldn't just stay in, and so this looks like political sleight of hand.I said "neat" didn't I? It's actually quite dispiriting to see you trying to distance Corbyn from his own lifelong policy position. We KNOW Corbyn's take. You support the man. Embrace it!
By the way Wilts. Yer man LeftyStats. Looks like he has got with the project too.https://mobile.twitter.com/LeftieStats/status/1144330523898257408Another one for the little black book.
Oh this is delightful.https://mobile.twitter.com/drdavidbull/status/1145597763998142465"For some reason, the EU decided to put it's Parliament in a very strange place."It's in Strasbourg. In the f**king centre of Western Europe you utter d**khead. What's your doctorate in? f**kwittery? Where did you expect it to be based? Milton f**king Keynes?
Good to see the Brexit Party MEPs using all that tax payers' money that Bull (ahem...) was complaining about for travelling to Strasbourg in order to make a show of turning their backs on the opening of the Parliament.I see Bull has tweeted today that they have gone there to represent the British people. That'll make a change. Farage has spent the past couple of decades collecting his MEP salary and expenses then not bothering to turn up to the vast majority of sittings and votes.EDIT:Oh aye. I forgot. Farage was using those expenses to illegally fund his work NOT as an MEP.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-42669293And, at the same time as collecting his 9000 Euros a month salary while not actually doing what an MEP was supposed to do, he was also taking the thick end of £0.5M from Arron Banks to fund other activities and not declaring that as a conflict of interests.https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/nigel-farage-eu-investigation_uk_5ce41484e4b075a35a2e03b0?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAACY4ex7opZ_I1pZSBvlsr5qjJXy0iX9tRbuXo4srz8VBgDNGyiK2kds0VEFZiclp8M1bF9RLMoiRr2yGKSPGHc0RjbtTy0Q2tZSanRLvEv4_owoIJ7oPQXzBL5DC_xRi63e4z1H5ajoHYU4W-sNyodDfccNqH12icGChz15ia7FNBecause, of course, anyone who is looking for a new career (while still taking a salary for not doing their existing job) needs access to a £4M Mayfair flat, a chauffeur-driven Range Rover and first class flights to the USA. Especially someone who is taking on the elite on behalf of the common man.Ever think you've been played lads?

Agreed on all of that Wilts.Farage is back to grandstanding which is all he ever does in Strasbourg.SS. What about Farage's expenses and undeclared payments from Banks? Any thoughts?

That applied to a lot of MPs that ended up paying back expenses.😉
SSI think you must have missed the bit where I said I agreed 100% with all of Wilts's post.
