Going by the graun liveblog he also said the UK could walk out of the EU without paying a penny.

All negotiations in good faith of course.

Oh, and that eu citizens currently here would enjoy almost all the same rights as the übermench englander but didn't specify what they would lose or the details of the armbands they would be forced to wear.

A meek British man goes door to door, hat in hand. "Pardon me, good sir, I am your current prime minister Jeremy Corbyn, but you can call me jermy or jeremy. Could I bother you for a small donation of £1500? It certainly helps our government, I assure you."

£1500 a year sounds like a reasonable amount per year to end foodbank Britain and save the NHS and not be thrown in a detention center by terror police for wearing cufflinks while the regular police are reduced to begging outside the Co-Op.

This is true - though obviously there would be terrible ramifications for any future trading relationship.

This is all the start of the negotiations. Posturing. The EU wants 100 billion, we're saying we could pay nothing.

The final figure will be in the middle, amortised over so long a period that nobody cares.

I got a pamphlet from the Conservatives here (I live in the US, I don't know why they sent it) that says that "Jeremy Corbyn will have you arrested by 'Friendship Police' and will force you to spend two hours being nice to 'Poles'" and then it shows a picture of a man in a silly hat.

And then he got probated for not doing it in this thread. Which isn't Europol. Haha, isn't it funny how arbitrary our Maoist mod is? (The answer is no)

I assume it'd scale, so someone on the median income would pay £1.5k, someone on the poverty line would receive money in net, and someone in the top 1% would be dragged through the streets by Corbyn's Friendship Police.

If not, it's not a very good leftist policy.

quote:

In converting European law into UK law through the so-called great repeal bill, the government will grant itself the power, as its white paper states, “to correct the statute book where necessary”. “Correcting the statute book” will come to be seen as one of the great political euphemisms of our time.

The corrections will take the form of secondary legislation, which means using something called a statutory instrument. The government estimates that 800 to 1,000 of these instruments will be required – on top of the usual total – and their impact will be profound, as they are dealing with huge issues. In practice, there is almost nothing parliament can do to challenge them. As the Brexit analyst Ian Dunt points out, the bill is “shaping up to be the single biggest executive power grab in Britain’s postwar history”.

Statutory instruments cannot be amended. Due to a combination of government control over the parliamentary timetable and a number of arcane and archaic procedures, hardly any have been blocked in the 70 years of their existence. Already their power is freely abused. They are supposed to be reserved for technical matters: straightening out laws in ways that don’t alter our relationship to the state. Increasingly, they are used to sneak more significant changes through parliament. As the journalist Jane Fae reports, 1,900 a year were used, on average, by the last Labour government (a high enough number, which probably incorporated plenty of abuses); under the Conservatives this has risen to more than 3,000.

After promising “an outright ban” on fracking under national parks, David Cameron’s government reversed the promise by smuggling a statutory instrument through parliament. This is likely to set the pattern, in a new Conservative government, for “correcting the statute book”, not least because, May’s administration explains, parliamentary scrutiny will have to be “balanced” by “the speed of this process”. Dunt observes that “nearly half a century of workers’ rights, environmental standards, health and safety laws, consumer protections, animal rights, and countless other areas are now at the mercy of Conservative ministers, who can use a rainy Friday afternoon, when everyone is down the pub, to finally start rubbing out bits of law they never liked”.

Not sure about it myself. The 'tax bombshell' bit is standard, but from what I recall most people don't want our army bombing people overseas anymore.

Also from the same article the Tories are planning a 'dossier' on Labour's spending commitments and revenue raisers to demonstrate that they aren't fully costed. A couple of weeks prior to the manifesto coming out with costings. At least it will be easy for Labour to stay on message in refuting it I guess.

EDIT: Here it is in all it's glory.

The tailor I use favours braces and I can see why. The perfect fit would be fairly snug and uncomfortable if you put on a bit of weight over the summer for instance. I think belts could become the new sitting down in terms of health scares. It can't be good for us.
