If they think an independent Scotland would ever be allowed into the EU with those kinds of deficits they are as barmy as Theresa May.
To support their spending they'd have to increase tax rates, already higher than the rest of the UK, by more than 10%, which would just drive anyone who has money and a choice south of the border, and end up probably costing revenue.
Their economic competency is perhaps only just higher than Corbyn and McDonnell.Comment

Mr Hoot has a point. Most MP's have just woken up to the idea that this is an Historic moment for the country and they have missed the boat. If Mrs May pulls this off there will be much blood letting.Comment

Originally posted by OwlHoot View PostI'm starting to wonder whether Theresa May isn't the craftiest politician ever, and has been angling and scheming for a no deal Brexit right from the start.
No, she's been trying to con the British into accepting an effective remain deal.Comment

Originally posted by meridian View PostShe was a reluctant remainer, much as Corbyn was. Once the vote was in, she saw the prize of ending FoM that she's wanted since she was in the Home Office and has run with it. It didn't take much to turn her into a Brexiter, it's just that she has different priorities on why she wants to leave.
Do you feel those reasons, whatever they are could be valid?Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last.Comment

Originally posted by Zigenare View PostWhy do you think she would she want to end Freedom of Movement, what would make a home secretary at the time want restrictions on FoM?

She could easily have ended FoM from outside the EU. Which is still spiralling out of control.Comment

But consider also how many Brexiter MPs have apparently been willing to go along with the atrocious deal (perhaps knowing or guessing it was never meant to be voted on let alone implemented? )Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

odds so far are 3/2 against her remaining as PM. Those stats are more damning than the referendum results. P45 in the post..."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment
