The only way we see Tim Farron as opposition leader in the near future is some type of cataclysmic PLP revolt where most of them defect to the Lib Dems
uk exports education and nonfinancial business services, but these are reasonably not so much things to focus on in negotiations, on by virtue of them being sold to foreigners in uk jurisdictions
arguably same for the others - they are things the uk can steer domestically
it's not unreasonable imo, but it does make for the best headlines
problem with educational exports is mainly an immigration policy one that they are doing their best to make worse

The government has abandoned the idea of Donald Trump addressing the joint Houses of Parliament when he comes to Britain for a state visit later this year after objections by MPs led by the Commons Speaker John Bercow.
The US president’s controversial visit is now expected to run from a Thursday to a Sunday in late summer or early autumn, with officials trying to ensure that Trump is not in London at a time when parliament is sitting, in order to avoid a formal snub.

On the subject of Hillsborough, Eddie Hitler impersonator done a whoopsie:
Mr Corbyn imposed the three-line whip after vowing his party would not seek to obstruct the implementation of the EU referendum result.
Convention dictates that members of the leader's shadow cabinet team should resign or be sacked if they defy such an order.
Some did resign but the remaining rebels are to receive only a letter insisting that they must comply with the whip in the future.
The decision not to sack them leaves Labour facing the prospect of three whips trying to persuade their colleagues to vote with a leader who himself rebelled against Labour more than 400 times - when they have defied him themselves, BBC political correspondent Chris Mason says.
They're all pathetic. He's a pathetic leader, the cabinet who should have resigned in principle but didn't are pathetic, and they're now getting a nasty letter.
Imagine being forced out of your home due to the hatred of your neighbours. How dreadful.
As for the "unknown men attempting to access the property", given they were trying to take photos I wouldn't be surprised if they're the sort of paparazzi gutter-press vultures whose "scandals" UKIP politicians normally devour and regurgitate with glee.
I'd honestly prefer if he never appeared on TV again and lost all avenues to impart his odious opinion, but I'll take Morgan appearing on shows to be told to fuck off over and over.
I have enjoyed the subsequent tweet argument he got into with Rowling.

Rowling did what Rowling does.
My favourite reply was when she told him it was a shame he hadn't read her books as he would have learned that sucking up to the school bully just gets you burned alive.

The MP for Ashton-under-Lyne was judged by the group to be “not likeable”, a “bit charity shop-looking” and “weird”, with one participant suggesting voters would not take her seriously, the newspaper reported.
Long-Bailey, a former lawyer and the MP for Salford and Eccles, was viewed more favourably with the group describing her as “passionate”, “genuine”, “sincere” and “very smart”, although some saw her as “aggressive” and “rough”.
Voters also appear to have been sceptical about Corbyn’s appeal in the focus group. The group, organised by Labour’s pollster, BMG Research, found Corbyn to be “boring”, said he appeared “fed up” and “looks like a scruffy schooled”.
Did you hear Corbyn has a mandate?
When asked about a recent YouGov poll that suggested Corbyn’s favourability ratings were plummeting, Watson added: “This is not the time for a leadership election. He got a second mandate from our members last year, he is now the established leader of the Labour party.
“It is his duty to lead the official opposition through a period of unprecedented economic uncertainty and he will be tested. He has to explain those and he has to improve on them and he’s well aware of that.
“I do talk about the issues that I think Labour needs to address if we are going to narrow that poll gap.”
I think Angela Rayner would play pretty well with the kind of urban demographic that labour doesn't seem to be having trouble retaining.
It's interesting to note that she doesn't seem to go down well with the demographic they're losing. With the right party machinery behind her I would have thought a decent campaign could be mounted.
I can't believe that after everything that's happened they're actually mooting removing Jeremy. I mean what's changed? His overwhelming unpopularity with the electorate wasn't perceived as a problem before why is it now?

Having grown up next to Ashton, the MP for there probably is really weird
Homogeneous distribution of your varieties of amuse-gueule
Traditional Unionist Voice, one of the smaller splinter parties, appear to be using "Drain The Swamp" unironically as a campaign slogan. Ew.
That is disgusting.
They had the perfect opportunity to switch it to "Drain the Bog" right there.
Also it makes little sense because I don't think we have any swamps, and when Trump used it and inmediately abandoned its intent after winning it's because Washington was actually built on a swamp
Maybe swamps have interesting ecological properties don't hate
We do not really have any swamps in the UK, like the type you see in places like Florida. We do have marshes and wetlands though which are similar! The difference in the water level/flow and vegetation present. They have very sensitive local ecologists with species that can only grow in certain areas. There are some trees which can only grow in wetlands which have flooded, dried out, then flooded again because of the specific mineral deposits you find.

Yeah that's why "Drain the Bog" would be more appropriate

PIERS MORGAN accusing JK ROWLING of being superior, dismissive, and arrogant is just... :rotate:
Well be fair. He also said that Hillary Clinton lost the US Election because she's a member of the elite.
