Doing it without him would be counterproductive, however objectionable May and Corbyn find TIG TIG have purposefully constituted their "group" so as to not be a party and exempt themselves from the oversight that entails. Rewarding them for this by allowing them to effectively act as one when it matters (or could plausibly matter, this meeting was apparently just May yet again restating the same exact case she's been making for months) would be a terrible idea.

Pener Kropoopkin posted:TIGgers are still respective members of their original parties. There's no reason to invite any of them because they're not a real opposition group. If you wanted to win a vote in parliament on anything then it would probably be a good idea to speak with the various factions, although, confusingly, most of them are contained within the Conservative Party. The odd thing is that May is representing all of them now, despite a political career of never being for anything except herself. Juliet Whisky has issued a correction as of 01:22 on Mar 21, 2019 |

Well yeah, exactly. If Mogg isn't there, there's no reason Umunna should be.

(This following post was absolutely not stolen from Reddit) It's one thing to belligerently ignore the breadth of feeling across the entire spectrum of the UK's representative democracy, but to claim that she is on the people's side, while claiming parliament is corrupt with arcane games makes parliament seem like the enemy of the people. Is that where she crossed the line from being incompetent to being authoritarian? Was tonight the dawn of Arsefire?

There are also three former Tories in TIG and to be fair, Umunna can't accurately be described as a neoliberal. That would imply he has some sincerely held beliefs.

Puntification posted:Actually her track record clearly demonstrates she's fiercely pro-racism. Consistent racism, £3,000 trousers, and not helping anyone else ever is the kind of cross-sectional appeal which makes a 21st-century Prime Minister in this sad, sad world. She did learn the racism from coming in as a tough Home Secretary after a couple of Labour governments had done their best to fend off refugees from wars they'd started but that's hardly in her defence. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDG4P8KPUSk Juliet Whisky has issued a correction as of 03:06 on Mar 21, 2019 |

The US congress is not going to pass a trade deal with Britain in the event of a hard Brexit, which would inevitably “blow up” the Northern Ireland peace process, a visiting American senator warned, as he spoke of “deep concern” in Washington about the chaotic state of the political process in this country. ... “I think we have got to put the EU first and Britain second, not because we don’t love Britain, but because we have got to do some important work to restore American relations with multilateral institutions like Europe,” said the Connecticut senator. Mr Murphy was speaking in London as the US president’s son, Donald Trump Jr, declared in an op-ed in The Telegraph that democracy was “all but dead” in UK because Theresa May had failed to deliver Brexit. ... “The Irish American lobby, of which I am a member, is pretty powerful in the US. Unless there is certainty about how you’re going to put off a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland, there isn’t going to be a lot of interest in congress in the US getting into a trade deal with Britain. “The head of the Committee on Overseas Trade in the House is Richie Neill, who is the most prominent member of the Irish American caucus and he [will] be asking lots of questions, you can be sure, about the peace process before anything happens.” Mr Murphy advised caution over Mr Trump’s tweets promising a quick trade agreement with Britain: “We’ve learnt not to pay too much attention to the president’s Twitter feed. There is not a lot of connection between what he tweets and what he does. “So just because the president’s tweeting that he’s going to go gangbusters into a US-Britain trade deal doesn’t mean that he’s going to, nor does it mean congress will follow.” The senator also warned that London should not expect an easy ride in a Trump deal. The US will have great leverage in negotiations and use it to demand market access for farm products like chlorinated chicken now barred from Europe, he warned. “Trump wants to negotiate with Britain because he can get stuff from Britain that he can’t get from the EU. The administration believes it can get Britain to drop agricultural protections that it can’t get Brussels to drop,” he said. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/brexit-us-eu-trade-deal-uk-senator-chris-murphy-a8832541.html
