To repeat … proof of drawing a wage is not enough to satisfy the rules as currently applied by the Home Office.

of course being married to a UK national she will be OK

What sector is the spouse employed in? How high is their lowest annual earnings if the HO look at the last three tax years?

Johnsons majority went from 10k to 5k at the last election

Since then hes been a terrible foreign sec, flounced from cabinet- as the brexshit hit the fan,  blown the islamophobia dogwhistle (in a constituency with double the national average of muslims)  & broken his famous promise to lie down infront of the bulldozers over heathrow

also George Osbornes former 'party planner' has just said this on twitter....

I imagine various media outlets are haggling with her over the story, rather than letting her put it out for free on Twitter.

On another note, our Border Force is coping so well with folk arriving from non EEA destinations, so I imagine they won't mind if they have to apply the same checks to a few more arrivals post-Brexit.

Right on cue the Torygraph have a lead about Corbyn and a wreath at the graves of the Palestinians involved at Munich in 1972. Whatever the truth of this, if anyone out there is still surprised by the timing, then you are criminally naive.

Most of this anti-semitism row is a put-up job. Deliberately conflating criticism of Israel with anti-semitism. Israel has played a blinder by also managing to get the wording of an international definition of anti-semitism to effectively make any criticism of the Israeli state anti-Semitic.

Our right wing press just need to stoke it a bit every time they need to. You could argue that this comment should be on the Labour Party Problems thread, but it is also at home here. Brexit, Trump, Johnson, this anti-semitism ‘row’ are all part of the same thing - an attempted far right wing takeover.

Good that everyone is continuing to make stuff up about residency.  From gov.uk
<h2 id="continuous-residence">‘Continuous residence’</h2>
Continuous residence means you’ve been in the UK for at least 6 months in each of those 5 years, except for:

  • one period of up to 12 months for an important reason (for example, to work or study)

[ psst - nothing on those pages has been signed off, by anyone … it's all hopes and wishes ]

We have been referring to how non EEA nationals are currently treated … and the more favourable rules proposed, for a brief period, in the event of an exit deal, and a transition period, may not yet come to pass.

Not true. You can't claim the Israeli government is the same as the Nazi government, as there are, you may be surprised to hear, particular sensitivities about that. You also can't claim that the existence of Israel is a racist endeavour (although you can claim the current government has racist policies).

Not true.

Covered at length in the other thread, but even those who back the the clauses above still manage to claim anti Semitic when it doesn't fall within the definitions above.

It is strange that our proud right wing patriots are yet again failing to defend our citizens and country from false and damaging accusations by foreign powers, one might conclude that they aren't actually that patriotic after all, in fact one might wonder what they actually mean by "patriotism" when they fail a most basic test of being patriotic by actions rather than just meaningless words.

Right wing press only having to attack Corbyn because they know that come September May has to hope that France/Germany have taken pity on us enough to to allow a fudged deal or its election time, again.

This is taken from a twitter thread:

I understand that senior members of Britain's road haulage industry came out of a recent meeting with Grayling where they were astonished by his lack of grasp of the key detail on Brexit.

One of them, Kevin Hopper, who runs a major firm up in Yorkshire, said that he tried to explain to Grayling that if there is no Brexit deal then UK haulage drivers won't be able to drive in EU as their papers will be invalid.

Kevin, who has 40 years industry experience, then showed to Grayling a copy of the EU's notice to stakeholders from the Commission's website, which confirms exactly that: no deal, no recognition of UK drivers.

Kevin says Grayling appeared to have never heard of this document but he insisted that "everything would be fine"

Grayling then said we "hope" there will be deal.

Kevin: "But what if there ISN'T a deal? Can you tell me, minister, what plans are there to remedy this situation?"

Grayling: "Well, could you suggest anything?"

Kevin: I can't believe this

Grayling: What do you expect from me?

Kevin: I expect clarity

Grayling: What do you mean?

Kevin: I mean I want clarity

Grayling: I can't give you that

This was infuriating for Kevin and colleagues because they have **already** been forced to turn down contracts with EU countries as they don't know if they will be able to do those jobs.

Hard to know where the spin ends, both sides saying No Deal is 50/50 chance now

With a number of brexiters moving money out of the uk and into the EU, a few moving business and in one instance to monaco, others having property in France, one getting German passports for his offspring and one in particular being in the pockets of US companies waiting to swallow up assets in a fire sale,  I think a few Brexiters like Grayling are the stupid ones who genuinely believe in a pure brexit.

The others mentioned beforehand are using it to crash the economy and make a serious amount of money from it.

This is the biggest heist the world has ever seen.

As for the pure brexiters, I find it amazing how they think they are going to survive the aftermath of all this, they must truly believe "it will be fine."

Chair of Vote Leave, Gisela Stuart yesterday on Twitter

only around 2900 students took A-level in German this year. Shocking decline of foreign language skills.

What did she really expect? It was pointed out to her that taking away our freedom to live there may disencentivise students from taking the language.

Tory MP Nigel Evans said: "We don't need any lectures from Remainers."

The backbencher, who campaigned for Brexit, told the BBC: "He's got his own views. He voted remain. The prime minister needs to ensure, as she promised, that Brexiteers are in charge of our leaving the European Union."

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45216061

and same story different names repeated over and over again. Can't criticise brexit even if it looks like a really bad idea.

Grayling really does have to be the pick of the bunch when it comes to dithering incompetence. You see him get interviewed and there is no sign of any cognitive ability whatsoever.

We are finally getting to the heart of their plan for Brexit - hopes and bloody prayers.

The closing date is 2 September and the final panel interviews are 8 October – which should give them plenty of time to handle the first task listed in the job description:

I'm 10 minutes into Brexitannia on Amazon Prime and every single one of those thick ****ers deserves to have a full lobotomy, preferably done by grabbing the back of their heads and impaling their gawking faces on iron railings set up outside every town hall in the UK.  I'll quite happily listen and converse/disagree with a cohesive and reasoned argument for Brexit but they are very few and far between, as for the folk who express such utter shite as in Brexitannia? - It's very easy to say to them "you are a ****ing idiot" over and over till it rings through their head 24/7  like a tinnitus jack hammer to their conscience.

Like i said.......****ing idiots.

50/50 whether we crash out without a ‘deal’. What the Danish guy didn’t say was what the other 50% is.

Let’s face it, the other 50% isn’t going to be a deal. The rabble we currently have running this fiasco cannot do a deal. They’re still negotiating with themselves, nearly 18 months into a 24 month timescale. I genuinely believe these maniacs would rather take us over the edge than do the correct thing and withdraw A50 or extend it if they can.

One of the SEL's was on the news spluttering his tea over how dare they have opinions, how very dare they continue to be politically active.

Utter utter panic in the brexit camp at the moment.

Their clothings have weird sizing but worst of all with poor unpractical small pockets, I mean how hard can that be to design clothing with larger pocket?

Regardless of their political affiliation they are not going to drum up sales.

As if the geriatric Brexiters of little Britain wear superdry !

Ironic when the brexies themselves are happy with Putin's money channeled via Aron banks to fund brexit.

It's painfully obvious that brexit is dying of its own contradictions & the brexiteers themselves have shown that they have no plan whatsoever to make it work.

Not trying to discuss their politics but I was at Superdry store a while back trying to buy shirts with larger pockets and the store was rather empty. Expensive, poor design and very thin materials.  I ended up buying better quality shirt from John Lewis with proper pockets and cheaper price.

Superdry is a bit like Fatface who cannot design clothing with larger pockets, the latter at least have size for normal people. Frankly, I don't see Superdry surviving for long in their current retail chain concept but as independent store perhaps.

if it’s everyone but leave voters then it’s 63% of the UK

Good for them if they can do that as high street stores are practically empty.  Retail stores are being killed off by business rate that are going to the bureaucrats.

P/s: it does not matter which political party is in power, if they insist on having business rate the high street will be empty of independent stores.  Go walk around your city and see empty shops ...
