So I got a breakdown of where my tax goes and less than 1% went to the EU (apologies for the crappy quality)

You could have bought most of a cheap pair of pants with that almost-tenner.

Matalan do jeans for a tenner, and they're good quality jeans

Their sizes are also all over the place.

Top Tip: If ever buying from Matalan, try on the jeans.

I recently bought two pairs of trousers from Debenhams, exactly the same waist and length but different colours and one pair fits absolutely fine, the other is about an inch too small in the waist

I know there's a list of Labour MPs that voted against, but is there a complete list of who voted for and against and whether their constituencies voted leave or remain?

Using a picture of one of the most famous European federalists ever, on the front page of a paper who literally said "Hurrah for the Blackshirts", to celebrate leaving the EU.

Saw the phrase "GOOD START TRUMP" scrawled near the Astoria in Portsmouth and genuinely couldn't tell if it was being sarcastic, ironic or serious. The posters inviting to a meeting of "HOW TO STOP TRUMP" were along the same lines

The Beeb have an interesting breakdown of EU referendum voting trends.

They've been piecing things together with lots of FoI requests - the main trends identified before concerning education and age are replicated here, but they've also managed to obtain a much more granular picture than that available previously, even down to the individual ballot box in some places.

Worth a read if you have a few minutes. I also found it interesting that the education correlation with a remain vote was also present for levels of education below that of a degree, so it's not simply about campus contact with ~~foreigns~~.

interesting that the four most southerly wards in Portsmouth voted Remain, while Slough's results are a little weird except that the Britwell is as I thought and a hotbed of racism

a competent labour leadership candidate would have been able to galvanise the membership and beat a jam making, lifetime backbencher but alas, they never came forward. Shame that

Labour's strategy seems to be "let Brexit happen, then show the Tories up once the bodies start hitting the ground"

I dont see why Theresa May would do any of these things, and she is the only one with the power to do so.

but you see, with meaningful opposition she would change her mind! It's so loving easy!

That depends on how long the Brexit negotiations take and when the general election is.

the general election will be in 2020, and May wants trigger A50 in March (?) which means that we'll be out of the EU by 2019

Hopefully this is true. It's a big old game of international shifting-powers Kerplunk at the moment. I hope there are some steady hands around.

you know it won't be though. Didn't one Belgian region almost torpedo a trade deal with Canada?

Didn't the Metro go through a phase of flat out reprinting Yahoo News articles with minor alterations, without spell (or fact) checking?

I don't know about that, but I do know Wikipedia has stopped all attributions and citations linked from The Daily Mail due to the sheer number of lies that rag prints

I can see why they wouldn't want to draw attention to parties making a big deal about nations tho.

Slightly curious about what Hitler said in 1927 that sounds a lot like the modern left.

I tried trawling through the original tweeter's feed, but after a stream of LEFTY CAPITALIST TRAITOR LIBERALISM, I just thought "I am not bothering with this". Interestingly, said UKIPer has deleted said tweet

America is a bit strange, they have the pledge of allegiance but they also sing the national anthem before every sporting event, like every single sporting event. Which is V. odd.

although they will keep vending beers, hotdogs and snacks through the anthem
