He's on the ropes. And resorts to lies saying Brexit has impoverished the UK.Tick tock. It has. The benefits that could, and should, have been accrued from Brexit were not because the Tory Incompetents negotiating the deal cared way more about ideology than practicality. It's a shame, because I still believe a UK out of the EU should be way better off than in it. But that requires competent MPs and Ministers, and we have not had those in a long time. Thanks to Blair, Darling and Mandelson, and Johnson and Cummings etc, UK Politics is now - like US Politics - all about Spin and not Substance. All The Best |

Yes, I just saw that on the BBC: www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cg3m98j3zpyoIt is, frankly, shameful and a complete betrayal of the democratic process. All The Best |

Ministers choose a course of action, the Civil Service attempt to deliver that course of action without breaking the law or other treaties, and while having the capacity to "speak truth to power" (something admired in the Civil Service since that days of Elizabeth the first). Former Conservative Cabinet Minister William Waldegrave (now Baron Waldegrave of North Hill) once said: " It is the definition of a feeble minister if he blames the civil service for not delivering his policies". We got a piss-poor Brexit deal because we had piss-poor Ministers in charge of it. All The Best |

Macron is already over.After his snap election gamble backfired, Emmanuel Macron faces a bitterly painful choice: pull his candidates out to try to stop the far right, or attempt to save what remains of his once-dominant movement before it dies.
For the 46-year-old leader of France, Sunday’s first-round parliamentary election was a humiliation every bit as personal as his stunning rise to the presidency as a fresh-faced outsider seven years ago.
He called the snap vote, after a disastrous defeat at the hands of the far right in June’s European election, with one aim in mind: to halt France’s lurch to the extremes in its tracks. He achieved the opposite - linkMacron is toast, and he knows it.

Although I totally stand by the vote.

In the meantime he remains president and still has the authority to nominate the next prime minister.
All this windy rhetoric about being 'in the muck' and 'toast' is, if nothing else, premature.

Macron is relying on no outright majority, or he really is toast, which is why he is cheating again, even more blatantly this time. |

He's no more cheating than the Old Gang parties were when they conspired against the BNP in 2005 and 2010.
But anyway, as far as Macron is concerned, he's not going anywhere for another three years.
Judging by the uninformed comments here the French electoral and political system appears to be as baffling for the average Brexiteer as the EU.
