The Brexit Bubble - literally less than a dozen people in a position to make it happen who also want it.

I think the right wing press has lost the plot along with the Conservative Party.

How David Gauke voted on Welfare and Benefits #
Generally voted for reducing housing benefit for social tenants deemed to have excess bedrooms (which Labour describe as the "bedroom tax")

Consistently voted against raising welfare benefits at least in line with prices

Almost always voted against paying higher benefits over longer periods for those unable to work due to illness or disability

Consistently voted for making local councils responsible for helping those in financial need afford their council tax and reducing the amount spent on such support

Almost always voted for a reduction in spending on welfare benefits

Consistently voted against spending public money to create guaranteed jobs for young people who have spent a long time unemployed

I don't think many people could be much more grotesque and vacuous than Damien Green, but Gauke will make another fine work and pensions secretary and have a good try.

"The DUP, which backed the proposal for the United Kingdom to leave the European Union, spent heavily during the campaign, including £282,000 (€325,000) on a newspaper advertisement and £32,750 (€37,500) with a data-analysis company linked to Donald Trump. It spent only about £10,000 in Northern Ireland."

Cynical thought for the morning: those older Tory voters have gotten a Tory government, but with the pension triple lock retained, and no dementia tax.

Lots of chat from the FT and others this morning about a muddling of what is meant by "soft" Brexit. I, and I think a lot of people, took it to mean "leaving the EU but not the EEA, keeping single market access and so on". Whereas it is suspected that what both Tories and Corbyn/McDonnell mean by it is "not the WTO option -- eg no brutal "no deal" option but still leaving SM/FoM".

stet, Monday, 12 June 2017 09:49 (six years ago) link

Let's be honest I imagine there is only every going to be 'hard Brexit' and 'fucking hard Brexit', right?

Chewshabadoo, Monday, 12 June 2017 09:57 (six years ago) link

keeping the pound low against the euro will do more for discouraging internal immigration than any set of statutes that can be devised imo

the weekend after brexit i was in a minicab and the dude driving told me that the economics of it don't work for him anymore because the whole idea was to make money to send back home, and now that money doesn't go very far

i realize this is the quintessential lolFriedman methodology of analyzing major global trends but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
