I presume this £20mil 'Brexit dividend' is supported by the economic reports that David Davis first claimed had been done, then claimed hadn't been done when someone had the temerity to ask to look at them. Have they suddenly found them down the back of the sofa?
I got to say, I voted leave, I don't regret it, but the way this has been handled by the complete idiots in charge, and the opposition has convinced me that we should just reset and start again. Any other time Mays career would have been finished, but somehow she manages to cling to power

Any other time Mays career would have been finished, but somehow she manages to cling to powerShe's clinging to power because all those wanting to knife her in the back want all the stench of Brexit to cling to her and not to them afterwards. Why do you think they don't want Parliament to have a vote on it - because then it'll be on public record that they voted for the sorry mess rather than take over from May with a clean slate and saying 'Nowt to do wiv me, mate'.
Or maybe she can but has no idea how to claw her way out of the situation and doesn't want to give up her position.
It like voting tories or labour to the people with no money it makes no difference, tories put minimum wage up and let you earn more tax,if your on working tax credits like most low earners it makes no difference as once you earn so much they take it off your benefits, vote labour they will make it 10 pound a hour then they do the same, so no matter who you vote for you end up with the same amount of money
Bst no I don’t think brexit willFix anything, but brexit willMake no difference to anyone who has very little money the only people brexit willAffect either way are peopleWith at least abit of money
People should elect someone who does then. Isn't that how it works?
Well bst 67.5 percent voted leave in blackpool so not everyone shares your views
Looks like the rebels shat it again.
Yes TRB, and we were not deemed good enough to vote on that at all, we should demand a vote on it now, if only it seems to be the thing to do, and then the Lisbon treaty.
Not much anti-Maastricht sentiment in this 1991 poll TRB. https://ems.ipsos-mori.com/researchpublications/researcharchive/poll.aspx?oItemId=2948

Perhaps on a vote based on lies and exaggerations , Russian money and Cambridge Analytica , AIQ, false electoral funding and expenditure ........they might well have been right.
Admitted off topic slightly, and ignoring Brexit, but in my 50yrs of actually voting ( I had to be 21 yrs old) I am hard pushed to think of anything good any Tory government has done for the Doncaster area, and very little for Yorkshire as a whole. Only parts of North Yorkshire and probably the Leeds area are significantly more prosperous than when I was a kid at school.
Maybe 6 months since I posted on this Thread - was determined NOT to but speaking of Maastricht I am always reminded that the Vote finally finished all squareThe (then) Speaker Betty Boothroyd MP for the Constituency of West Bromwich (a former Labour MP but "neutralised" by becoming Speaker) had to vote in favour of the Bill as is traditional / protocolSo if she could have voted conscience wise the Bil would have been defeated.
