Lord Newby, a Lib Dem, in the House of Lords wrote me 'Last evening just a handful of votes stopped us from giving the British public the final say on the Brexit deal. Our amendment fell by just 58 votes. If the Labour leadership had voted with us tonight, the amendment would have passed. But they didn't. On this key issue, the Labour party has gone missing in action.' Corbyn is a lukewarm Remainer trying to protect his ill-informed base...when will he wake up, save the country and help the low wage earners? Then 'The Times ' reports ' Jacob Rees-Mogg, a leading eurosceptic MP, says 'Britain is lucky to have Donald Trump in the White House while it forges its post-Brexit future'. Careful Tories who you choose as friends! Finally with my news snippets of today, it is not often I applaud anyone in the Conservative Party but chapeau to new Home Secrteray Sajid Javid who stated in the Commons that 'Theresa May's 'hostile' immigration rhetoric is not British'...listen on https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/sajid-javid-theresa-may-new-home-secretary-immigration-rhetoric-hostile-not-british-a8330151.html And why doesnt Germany leave the EU if it is such a good solution to leave? Read http://www.manager-magazin.de/politik/europa/brexit-grossbritanniens-seelenlage-a-1204522.html which translates to '“Great Britain — the world champion of own goals.” This was the headline above a commentary on Brexit that appeared last week in Manager Magazin, a German business monthly. The headline gives an accurate idea of how Germans in politics, business and ordinary life regard the UK’s vote to leave the EU and its government’s conduct of the negotiations. As Stephan-Götz Richter, the commentary’s author, put it: “The British still have no realistic plan for how to proceed in future relations with Europe. They are still led by a long list of wishful notions.”
