    Apologies if this has already been posted, but this shows the legal standing of his acquittal as opposed to the social media version. https://thesecretbarrister.com/2016/10/14/10-myths-busted-about-the-ched-evans-case/

    The campaign starts here for re-entry to the EU

    The post war UK of 60 years ago is a very different place to the UK of today Of course it is, the UK and the EU are now competitors, I'd lack to be on the side of the savvy one.

    What a fine example of English exceptionalism

    The campaign starts here for re-entry to the EU

    Here's an article about how the deals for the EU access to UK waters and for the UK to access the EU energy grid are up for renegotiation on the same date. You want our electricity then we'll have your fish...

    The campaign starts here for re-entry to the EU

    A Google search of 55 Tufton St will show you how far the tentacles of these people spread. I can just see more and more people over the next few years realising that brexit was nothing more than a con perpetrated by those with most to gain against those with most to lose. And the way Johnson...

    I think over the next few years the ERG will become as relevant as the Militant Tendancy.

    Brexit never? Britain can still change its mind, says Article 50 autho

    The ERG were already onboard, there was no risk. Brexit is a Tory bollocks, he should let them own it! Happy New Year to one and all.

    I think you're right about a Customs Union , though I'd reckon a few years rather than a few months. There seems to be quite a bit of can kicking in the deal which makes sense. Get the big headline issues resolved, placate the rabid brexiteers and the press, but then as the glow of sovereignty...

    After the ERG had signalled their support for the bill, Johnson was then assured of having enough votes for it to pass. So in that scenario, any Labour MP could then have safely voted against it knowing it would not lead to a No Deal.

    That would be the same City of London that pays taxes that equate to about 2/3 of the annual NHS budget.

    With both fishing and the "level playing field" the EU do have the right to impose tariffs if arbitration can't resolve any dispute.

    In the UK Japan deal signed recently, Japan imposes tighter restrictions on state aid than the EU one does, but that impact on sovereignty seems to have been ignored by the brexiteers.

    Brexit never? Britain can still change its mind, says Article 50 autho

    If Johnson wanted, he could legally bypass the ERG or any potential opposition to the deal by invoking Section 22 of the Constitutional Reform and Governance Act, and avoid any debate or vote. It's called taking back control! https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/25/part/2

    Brexit never? Britain can still change its mind, says Article 50 autho

    Before anyone starts crowing about "winning", any deal is still going to leave the UK worse off economically. That translates to more unemployment with all that entails for those affected and less money in the country's coffers to pay for services.

    So you want a trade deal, but you don't want to give up any sovereignty to get one? That's impossible, every trade deal involves both parties giving up sovereignty. The more extensive the deal, the more sovereignty.
