We're used to spin and deception from politicians, this bunch seem to have been learning lessons in honesty and truthfulness from Donald J Trump. Rather than twisting the truth just come up with out and out bovine excreta. There is no way, absolutely no way, that Theresa May can supply those guarantees as she apparently did in their meeting earlier.
As Jonathan Pie said in the gig I was at earlier regardless of Brexit that government is what we voted for, so we only have ourselves to blame for the BS we're being fed on a variety of topics.
Post-fact politics is such a joy.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
l cannot blame him at all as he has done a pretty good job IMO and certainly does not need interfering politicians telling him what to do.

Does anyone need interfering politicians telling them what to do, not needing them has never stopped them before

I wonder if this weeks hysterical headlines about 'Remoaners' are the press getting their excuses in early. It's clear that nothing will be the fault of Brexit and all of it will be fault of Remain. Tanking sterling? Not because May said she would issue Article 50 in March and won't compromise on free movement. It's those Remoaners. Prices getting more expense? Nothing to do with the exchange rate for imports. It's the Remoaners.
I wish we had this omnipresent power before the vote.

EDIT: Just completed reading the article. If Theresa May et al are so desperate for a change they could try doing their bit with fiscal policy. Investing in things like the health service rather than demanding it do more with less year on year, to make us all more productive. Investing in infrastructure to make the UK more competitive.
I note the three MPs the Telegraph mentioned criticising Carney were all vehement leavers. Their complaints are entirely because the output from the BoE disagrees with their dogma.
This is pathetic. The entire country is being run through the lens of exit of the EU right now with anyone who dissents from the vision of it being amazing being accused of talking the country down and in need of reeducation. At some point, with help from the Express and Mail especially, we seem to have ended up where you'd expect the country to be while at war.
I note the Chancellor didn't join in this criticism, and as noted approved the most recent round of QE.
Governance of the country right now is downright alarming. Presumably next will be a mass purge of the 'remoaners' in the civil service.

All a bit depressing. Brexit seems to have brought the worst in British people. Previously we had an excellent reputation for welcoming those making a contribution to our society. Those that aren't making a contribution seem to be the ones using this as an excuse to drag the rest of the country into the gutter.

its terrible what racists will do
'Poland rule the world' Polish sisters spared jail after brutal racist attack on Brits
Aleksandra, who along with her sister came to Britain with their family under EU freedom of movement laws, told one of the girls: "Don't mess with us Polish girls.’’

No, he wants to leave because the job is too big for him. He reminds me of a sweaty Richard Nixon. He's not standing on the shoulders of giants, he's grasping on by his fingertips.

See above about complaints regarding him because he disagrees with dogma.

Given you're incapable of writing anything worth reading on this topic as a whole I think I'll save my time reading it.

I see papa smurf is honouring us with links from the Express.
