    The one annoying constant in modern life….

    Dianne Abbot.

    I’ve got the radio on listening to Daves statement. There are repeated appeals for calm after the increase in racially motivated attacks

    Though the Tory scumbags who’s stroking of racial tensions to suit their own ends aren’t in the house to hear them.

    Boris or Gove really are the lowest form of human life. This is their fault, and they’ve not even got the balls to front up to it!

    Your bingo card needs updating: as noted above both Eagles gone as have Berger, Healey, Smith, Nandy, Griffith and Green.

    Gove was there.

    And Tom Watson has told him to bugger off as well, resignation or no resignation.

    Is it quicker to list who’s left?

    Gove was there? Tim Farron didn’t seem to think so.

    Plenty of other people saw him.

    “I read a ‘celebratory’ Brexit post over the weekend that I’m still annoyed about, I currently want to print it on 500 sheets and beat anyone who shares it with the truth,”
    Was that the one about the £ bouncing back and the stockmarket recovering and the roof not falling in? i wanted to hunt down the prat that posted that .

    I work for an environmental organisation so, although there’s some staring at it all in disbelief, there’s also a practical job because we need to start campaigning for the EU laws we want to keep and ensuring that the funding the EU put into projects which benefit the environment isn’t lost.

    Yep, I look at the BBC News first thing in the morning, throughout the day, on here and the odd occasional links. It’s mesmirising, but I don’t think it’s doing me any good. Most shocking is the excuses I’ve seen for voting leave.

    It seems most of the talk and headlines is all doom and gloom, can someone tell me the real facts for this being a good thing, a good thing to leave the EU? Doesn’t seem to be much in the news about this being good, or am I not looking in the right places. I probably don’t frequent the right type of forums or read the right papers where they’ll be banging on about how this is so good. Even those few at work that have voted out only seem to go on about how ‘change is good’, ‘we’ll see’ or just come to the conclusion that it’s good because it’s what the country decided … 😕

    It is utterly fascinating.
    The fact that the government made it deliberately not legally binding, the fact they have shunted it to the next leader (making leadership a poisoned chalice), then that it needs to get approved by parliament (a pro-europe majority by a long way), and add to that a fixed term parliament so no election until 2020.
    All of the above has made this utterly transfixing.
    I just hope that whatever happens this makes people finally take notice of politics in this country.

    But I wouldn’t bet against us remaining in the EU at the end of it

    This may be the optimist in me, but I have a feeling that, eventually, Gove and Johnson are going to be buried in the political equivalent of unmarked graves.

    the chancellor has appeared despite being missing for the last few days, gove and the others who voted out have also gone very quiet,while JC`s christmas card list is shrinking faster than a governments dept budget, but hey ho hes getting a lot of support from us ordinary peeps.

    Where all these new laws, punishment budget, mass migration out we where told was going to happen by the out lot, nothing seems to have happened as yet.

    possibly the govt are a tad distracted by the economy going off a cliff the BOE splashing a huge wedge of cash in a failed attempt to stabilise the pound (the brexit website post described this as the pound bouncing back! as if it was a rubber ball) and us losing the triple A credit rating. Nothing seems to have happened yet apart from that possibly cos the govt are trying to avoid an appearance of panic to try and help stabilise both the markets and currency.

    I’d rather their graves were marked by a warning sign to future generations about being a **** in public office and treating peoples lives as pieces in a game.

    I’m beginning to think Mrs Ming may be the only one to pull us out of this. Horrible thought i know but I can imagine heads being banged together.

    Was at Wimbledon yesterday and still reading the Guardian Business Feed in all the breaks, just to see by how much more my pension had collapsed……

    Footflaps has it. My occupational scheme had a £500M hole in it before Friday. I’m 2 years from being able to draw a reduced pension and getting it paid for the rest of my life. If I’m lucky it might still be there when I need it. The support fund won’t pay out the same you can be damn sure.

    I haven’t dared log on and see how much I’m down yet….

    Scary, SIPP down 10% in £ alone….
