For all their faults and divisions the Tories have remained consistent about Single Market membership and the customs union. We are leaving both. Official Labour party policy depends on who you talk to/make it up as you go along. Democratic process as in saying one thing before the election to get votes then doing a U - turn. There would be no democratic mandate had they gained power.
No. Why should she.

But you have Farage as your avatar.
Your point is?

You had to turn off the radio because you couldn't stand hearing his voice, so how can you stand having a picture of him, that's all.
Why do you think I have that picture?
No reason but you seem to be making light of a very serious disagreement between us and the EU (or should that be us and you). This is very likely to be boiling along for a long time unless the EU sees sense and agrees a reasonable settlement.
I'm not making light of anything. The government were very badly advised in that case. Are these lawyers advising on EU law when they seemingly don't even know UK law?
EU law? It seems to me that they're making this up as they go along.
It probably seems that way, if incompetent lawyers are advising you.
Anyway. I'm off out now. Have a nice evening.

I agree that there would have been a shortage of mandate if Labour had been elected on a series of pledges and then abandoned them - as the Tories have done - but as I hoped was clear I was talking about the present and future, not the past. If Labour was to be elected on the currently mooted platform of softening Brexit then of course there would no democratic deficit.

I seem to remember you being mildly perturbed that a Tory win at the last GE would be presented as a mandate for 'hard' Brexit despite people voting for numerous reasons ... trying to have your cake and eat it?
So, you were expecting this €100b divorce bill even before the referendum?

how else would you describe the situation, with this revelation that the UK is contributing 3-4 times more than in the published EU budget? im surprised this doesnt raise eyebrows in Germany, they are subsidising the project and seems they are paying far more then told.
It's what pays Nigel Farage's salary and expenses. Don't see him complaining about that.
The EU see sense? That's a bit rich given the way David Davis is carrying on. He was asked, by a FedEx executive, about his tech-and-trust customs proposal yesterday and embarrassingly couldn't explain what it was. On a world stage, utterly embarrassing.
Britain wants to leave, Britain has said no deal is better than a bad deal.... the EU doesn't have to see any sense. This is very much Britains mess to sort out.
Staggering how the narrative has shifted from "they need us more than we need them so a trade deal is inevitable" to "they are protecting themselves and not letting us have our cake and eat it which proves we are right to leave"
At what point will people realise they have been sold a pup. Another fun you gov poll out which shows that leave voters are considerably more likely to believe conspiracy theories. Who would have thought it?
