The Last Days of Mrs May?

Unlike everywhere else immigration wasn't an issue in Liverpool. It's a port and people have always been used to the comings and goings of those from foreign climes.

This is why 3/4 of Liverpool voted to remain as without the EU the place would have remained looking like a bomb site.

We've got walk-in centres closing. Nursing homes closing. A bus company has closed down with its services having been cancelled and the loss of dozens of jobs. Wirral doesn't get any handouts.

The EU has funded Liverpool-----not the council nor the government.

Liverpool isn't Wirral.

Remember that an alternative government would be the death knell for this country as we'd end up like Venezuela

Apart from the fact that you keep having this repeated to you in the Right wing press, EV, you have absolutely no way of knowing that this will happen. There are such enormous differences between the UK and Venezuela that it is most unlikely.

Actually, the UK is more likely to end up like Venezuela if we carry on with this dreadful tory government and crash out of the EU with no deal. All the money flowing towards the already wealthy and no money, food or medicines for the rest of us... The death knell is sounding right now...

17 things European funding has done for Merseyside

It appears that those North of Watford particularly Wirral are the ones who are shortchanged by the government not London and its suburbs. We up here are the poor relations.

Not a million miles from me is a place called Rock Ferry and a couple of years ago there was a gas explosion where many homes and businesses were as near as flattened by the blast and a young man lost half his skull. Nobody has offered help to the area neither the government nor the council over 2 years on. There are still " meetings " ongoing without resolution to those who lost everything.

If that had been London it would have been sorted ages ago--------see the difference ?

Remember that an alternative government would be the death knell for this country as we'd end up like Venezuela where people queue for food because the country is bankrupt------meaning that a Socialist government wouldn't and doesn't work. It wouldn't bear thinking of a Marxist Corbyn leading the country into communism.

Yes the EU gave money to regions who wouldn’t have got it from the UK government - they would have given it in tax cuts to their cronies. So it was being distributed to those in need.

Who would take over from TM ?

At least it guaranteed that the regions got some support. I very strongly suspect that they wouldn't have had any support from British governments.

And, I also suspect that if they had been supported from hypothetical UK money most of the Gnet grans would have been up in arms about the 'unfairness' of it.

Lemon ????

Nothing hilarious about making our country poorer in every way for at least the next fifty years. Not hilarious. Not even the tiniest bit funny. Tragic.

GrannyG it’s hilarious isn’t it? Given pocket money by the EU from our own money, but only to do certain things with.

Varian “EU regeneration money pumped into NE England, Cornwall and Wales” really????

They were just letting us have back a percentage of what we had handed over to them in the first place.

I think that we have discovered that folk voted for brexit for many different reasons.

Some were influenced by the anti-immigration propaganda, which appealed particularly to racists (and especially in areas of the country with very low levels of immigration).

Some believed the lie on the bus and thought there would be more money for the NHS and everything else .

Some were swayed by the clever slogan "bring back control" which worked because although brexit would actually mean giving away control, a lie repeated enough times seems like the truth to some folk.

Some had very little idea what the EU was about (before 2015 the EU was very low down on the lists of voters' concerns).

Some were fed up with their town or region being impoverished ever since the Thatcher era, and did not realise how much EU regeration money had been pumped in to help them (eg the NE of England, Cornwall, Wales).

Some talked about "sovereignty", not realising we already had sovereignty.

Some had no clue, but were told how to vote by the papers they read.

Some could not stand that smug Old Etonian David Cameron and wanted to show him they'd had enough of his and his ilk.

But no-one, absolutely no-one voted for brexit because they wanted to be poorer.

We'll never get to the truth why people voted Brexit.

Yes Infacts campaigns for Remain. Their views have been backed by the Bank of England and Treasury analyses of brexit outcomes.

Anyone can easily put their fingers in their ears and refuse to listen to any evidence or reasoned argument against brexit on the basis that it is coming from a person or group who supports Remaining in the EU. We should be able to weigh up the arguments for and against.

The problem is that brexiters have no evidence or logical argument in favour, which is why they constantly attack their opponents, like JRM describing Mark Carney as a failed second rate Canadian politician" He didn't bother to check his facts. Carney has never been a politician. He was a very successful governor of the Bank of Canada before moving to the Bank of England.

Infacts ? But it’s against brexit, so they would say That wouldn’t they

May’s letter to the public is riddled with untruths and half-truths

Donald Tusk has warned British MPs that if they reject Theresa May’s withdrawal agreement, they face a choice of either no deal or no Brexit.

The European Council president sought to make clear that the deal is the “only possible one”, amid speculation that Ms May could try to either renegotiate the package or that parliament might seek a Norway-style status instead.

It comes after the Bank of England and the Treasury released data suggesting a no deal exit could lead to a savage recession in the UK , with a devastating impact on household incomes.

Surely everyone must now realise that if Theresa May cannot persuade MPs to back her deal, her options are very limited. Going back to renegotiate is not an option.

Whether she resigns and is replaced by another Tory PM, or calls an election and is replaced by Jeremy Corbyn, neither of them would be able to negotiate a better deal either. It is blindingly obvious that the best possible deal is the one we presently have.

Corbyn has always wanted out

Typo heard not hurt.

Goodness me Project Fear alive and kicking on here I never hurt such a load of nonsense.

What exactly is funny please?
