Thanks Andrew! Tell you what, let me PM you my replies and you can then post them? Deal :) .. or No Deal?

Alastair Campbell 'expelled from Labour' over EU election vote

Quote:

Former Labour spin doctor Alastair Campbell has been expelled from the party after admitting to voting Liberal Democrat in the European elections last week.
He said he was "sad and disappointed" at the move given the leadership "finally seems to be moving to the right place on Brexit".
"I was not intending to publicise this at this stage, but have had calls from friends in the party telling me it is now widely known and likely to be leaked," the pro-second referendum campaigner added.
Labour was beaten into third place in the elections by the Lib Dems
"I have been advised by lawyers with expertise in this field I have grounds for appeal against expulsion and shall do so."
"I am and always will be Labour.

If JC was as quick and as decisive on Brexit and the anti-semitism allegations as he was on this issue, he'd be in No. 10 by now!

His main issue was not mixing a little anti-semitism in there, then they would take years to ban him!

Communist would be more apt. At least that would be transparent.

Cannot believe the depths of desperation you will lower yourself too.

Would this be the petition that people admitted to signing more than once, would this be the same petition that was over 11 million signatures short of the actual referendum result?

It's an interesting idea I've not seen before and one worth repeating:

Quote:

But here’s a contrarian thought: perhaps a future Tory PM could make the bold, generous offer of a referendum on Brexit to win grudging Lib Dem support for their government. That could now be the only way, looking at the parliamentary maths, that the Tories could stay in office. And paradoxically, a Tory leader might find it easier to promise a referendum than Jeremy Corbyn.
