The government will bring forward a key piece of Brexit legislation at the start of next month, Downing Street has said.
Number 10 said MPs will vote on the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, which enshrines the PM's Brexit plan into UK law, in the week beginning 3 June.
The announcement came following what Downing Street said were "useful and constructive" talks between Prime Minister Theresa May and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Well you didn't know what you were voting for did you? Turns out Brexit can be a myriad different things (none of them good). As long as we stick it to the 'establishment', that's the he main thing.....

No, it’s another "Russia remains undeterred in its campaign to widen political divisions and weaken Western institutions" moment.

It obviously has no effect, that’s why they keep on doing it...

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)

And the mainstream media, along with the Left and Liberals, don't indulge in reckless and erroneous speculation?


The real serious problem of "fake news" is the truth that is not allowed to be reported, ie it's censored. Certain groups, of whatever kind, are not allowed to be criticised. As somebody once said on a UK talk show in the 80s, "Liberalism is just Fascism by another name". I don't think that person was even seen as a political person.

Here we go again.

Enough of provocative crap like this. I’m not having it. The next person to repeat this line of antagonism and utter rubbish, will be banned from participating in this thread.

You have been told time and time again to stop writing provocative nonsense Mr K. If you cannot debate properly, without deriding others, then I will stop you posting in this thread and the entire forum if necessary.

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)

What is interesting is that there does seem to be some news optimisation shenanigans going on. My phone pops up Google Now cards for news, sport, etc. This should be based on my interests and generally it is - I just had a pop up from Gizmodo n the 737MAX for example.

However, on Brexit, I get a lot of pop ups from the Daily Express and Telegraph. For example, looking now, I have three Express stories, two Telegraph stories and one BBC story on Brexit. What's strange is that I rarely look at the Express web site as it's horrible to look at and even more rarely look at the Telegraph as it's paywalled. When looking at what the press are saying, I generally use the Daily Mail for all my pro-Brexit news along with the Independent for my pro-Remain news.

Re: Brexit (New Poll Added)

The Russia conspiracy theories are also ludicrous.

Russia had no bearing on 2016 Referendum and it won’t in next weeks European Elections. People are capable of making their own minds and decisions. It’s pathetic all this Russia Russia Russia nonsense. When will some of you Remainers, get it in to your heads that people really do want to leave a disgusting and corrupt EU?
