So you think newspapers shouldn't have reported such a momentous occasion.? That would be rather odd... 

It wasn't a momentous occasion, it was a 10 page re-hash of stories from the last five years.

I was talking about the news article about the 7 Labour MPs leaving the party to form their own group. That was the part of Anna's comment I responded to (and bolded) that she seemed to take umbrage at being reported on.

My mistake, I was referring to the Mail on Sunday hatchet job on Sunday.

The seven who left obviously place our membership of the bosses club EU before the social justice programme they were elected on at the last general election.

 

Universal Credit simply isn't an issue for them.

With the new Formula One season coming up, I'm surprised that nobody has mentioned the effect of a no-deal Brexit on the next season.

 

Despite Formula One being an international sport, 80% of all F1 teams are based in the south of England employing tens of thousands of people directly and supporting many others in the local areas as well as many small specialist engineering firms. Although the cars usually travel from circuit to circuit between races, what makes the difference between winning and coming second is the week by week development of new parts many of which are manufactured after the final free practice on Friday and qualifying on Saturday and flown out on Saturday morning to be fitted by the start of Q1 usually at 1pm. This is a real 'just in time' supply chain.

 

Current favourites Mercedes-AMG could well end up relocating to Stuttgart. Second favourite Ferrari will benefit from this as they are entirely based in Maranello, Italy.

Bizarrely, I posted this in Consequences of Brexit and it ended up here! 😱

I've changed my mind totally over the last couple of days.

I think the Tories have done a fantastic job since 1979.

In 2019 we have almost full employment. The wages are better than they have ever been. I now trip over a Policeperson on almost every street corner almost every 8 years. The number of homeless people doesn't raise cause for concern. (There are none at all in my area) The wage gap has risen quite fairly over the last 40 years. Companies are making massive profits year on year. The drug and homeless problem has been all but eradicated. There's a new Billionaire created every 2 days. They don't create or manufacture anything useful, but they're raking it in, so what the Hell? It's great for our economy and also the 'Rich list' entries that we can flaunt all over the World.

Foreign car makers are moving out in their droves so that we can start building fine, solid British cars like wot we yoost too. Manufacturing is booming. Order books are now back to 1960's levels. The crime rate is so low that we now only need 10 Police personnel in Sheffield. The parks and gardens run by the Council are all in pristine condition. The roads are swept every 10 years to reduce the chances of windscreen damage. Private housing rents are very reasonable. Some dwellings only cost 80% of  the 'real' average wage, but I thinks plans are in place to raise that, so Landlords will, at last, be able to break even. Very reasonable parking charges are in place to guarantee a bustling City centre. The Pub Companies rents and other charges are so reasonable that only 8 pubs a week are closing (compared with only 8 a week last year, and only 8 a week the year before that)

Diesel fuel has remained very cheap for the motorist. It's only 10p a Litre more than petrol now. Praise the Government for their considered input.

The local High Street is bustling with Vape shops and Nail and Beauty boutiques.

If the recently made redundant hadn't been able to acquire these badly needed services, I don't know what we'd have done. Our local shopping street has been swamped with take away shops. Another Tory success story. Before they moved in, we had local people running Greengrocery shops, butchers shops, florists and that kind of thing. Thank God the large Supermarkets moved in and trashed these unknown tiddlers and confined them to the bin. Despite local protests, the Council did the right thing and allowed the residents to be trampled on by the big national companies. The correct decision in my opinion.

So, as you can see, the people who matter are doing a lot better than the minnows, and for that, we should be eternally grateful to this Government for guiding us in the right way for 40 years.

Everybody's happy, prosperous, well fed, well clothed (and most of the waged workers will probably be on holiday in the Seychelles as I speak)

What do you mean you haven't been the the Seychelles?     

Awesome. What did Labour do to resolve all these things during their THIRTEEN YEARS in government? From memory, they bought a load of votes by creating benefit dependency, opened up the floodgates to EU immigration, started an illegal war, sold off the gold reserves and ran up a huge deficit to leave the Tories with at the end of it all.

They also didn't do much for education, based on the merits of your posts.

Quits Labour Party due to antisemitism then describes people as having "a funny tinge". Will this independent group take swift and determined action to combat the racism within their party? Have they even signed up to the definition of anti funny tingism? 

What Racism ?

My post was full of merit but that's despite Labour's influence on education.
