The - we don't have a Labour thread, thread

Did you notice that that article said it could take decades to negotiate trade agreements?

I don't think that is what the article meant Whitewave. He wouldn't be negotiating unless he was in government.

I agree we must be driving the EU round the bend though - and that's just the Mayitocracy.

Well he isn't the government so I'm not surprised.

We must be driving Europe round the bend

I do hope he does share Jen. I think it is the most sensible question to ask about Brexit at this point in time. Just read the 'socialist Brexit' article. The suggestion that Europe would feel less happy negotiating with Corbyn is interesting.

I am sure we will find out, whitewave, as Corbyn wants to involve the people, not keep everything secret.

No it was the Guardian gg but almost certainly with less flowery language and more sense

Well he probably got more sense from that 2 hour meeting then he ever has from the Brexit crew

It was reported in the Daily Express and The Sun. Perhaps that's where WhiteWave read it.

Barnier did not say he would only discuss details with the government. He said he could only negotiate with the government - quite a difference.
Rightwing newspapers up in arms because he is having a meeting lasting 2.5 hours with Corbyn, Wood and Sturgeon.

Sorry GG.
"Are you really that stupid."
It's an ad hominem attack.

I don't think someone using sexual abuse to poke fun at anyone is appropriate on any forum.

Of course Primrose, the first attempt to 'shame' was an ad hominem argument - but I didn't see you comment on that did you?

GG, not stupid, just don't often notice bubbling cauldrons etc

It was not an ad hominem argument Primrose. What I said was "...but I really don't think this attempt to 'shame' someone is very GN - is it?"

I don't think it is, do you?

GG What outcome are you looking for with ad hominem attacks?
Ironic on the day Diane Abbott talks about abuse online.

gg in the paper this morning which is now in the recycling bin at the back of the garden so can't tell you which article it was in. Sorry!!

Emily Thornberry was very good wasn't she - as I notice are several of the women on the Labour front bench.

Whitewave - that certainly seems a question that should be asked Where did you hear that?

No Annie. Are you really that stupid. I meant you trying to shame other people.

My grandson said, "Emily's good, isn't she? Nearly as good as Corbyn."

Thought Thornberry was excellent on pmqs today.

Green "We are saying it is still possible that we will be offered a punishment deal and that would be worse than a no deal"

(How!? The fact that the EU will treat us like a third country? Er, yes)

Thornberry "well, the Prime Minister can hardly storm out of the room refusing the deal and then pop her head back around the floor and ask if she could have two more years to prepare"

. Love it!

Corbyn and the first ministers of Scotland and Wales are to meet Barnier but he said he will only discuss the details with the government , bit of an insult to include an oposition leader with two First Ministers though

I agree GG, Daphne not have have made light of something as serious as sexual assault

No gg I didn't notice

JC is going to ask about the possibility of remaining should Brexit become impossible, when he sees Barnier.

there not their - can you hear my scream?

Daphne, do you really believe women do not know the difference between a hand on their bum or being subjected to sexual assault, your post was shameful and insulting to women

I am sure their will be times when we disagree but I really don't think this attempt to 'shame' someone is very GN - is it?
