Let's hope he does have to leave office at the end of his term!

As part of a global force such as that between North and South Korea, yes.

It can all be done on a smart phone. Or just call them.

All of a sudden, you realise you don't need them. I was actually in our office for a rare change and each desk has an expensive desk phone on it. 100's of them at great expense. when was the last time you saw someone use one? Same with Banks. I was an early adopter of First Direct , it started there

Apologies but in the UK we call it the "Gulf of Milton Keynes". We got in there first!

The UK could and I'm sure would have done the same thing whether a member of the EU or not. Leaving the EU was a dumb idea, but it has little to do with our ability to support what is right.

I've reported an error on Google maps, and asked them to fix the issue....

How do you plan for someone like Trump? The obvious plan is for all European countries to group together, a 'European Union' if you will. Then just let the American's deal with their world, and we try the best we can between america and the ASEAN region.

In fairness, he did deport Isabel Oakeshott, and that's a good thing.

I think he will wait until a next term. They will not be popular at the next GE due to the hard things he has to do. So use the alliance with the Lib Dems as an excuse to rejoin as that's what the Lib Dems will demand to agree to serve with them.

Perhaps Brexit was Putin's dress rehearsal?

Politics is tough. As a private individual he must know leaving the EU was as mad as a box of frogs. However, declaring the Labour position to rejoin has to be timed right. Yes he may be a little cautious, but he can only let the cat out of the bag once. The excuses to rejoin are nearly all here now

My Theory is that in this first term Sir KS gets all the hard stuff done. It won't be popular. It's like cancelling all the household luxuries after you've found out your partner gambled all your money away. It will be a closer election next as they won't be popular. A Lab/Lib alliance will rejoin.

The main issue for me is how wrong we were to trust the electorate on an issue of this magnitude. There should be the equivalent of 'cycling proficiency test' before you are allowed to vote on anything. To use "I was ignorant" isn't an excuse in law, and we should take voting just as serious!

Not quite true. Many promised it would be a huge dog egg. And they were right!

I think they are doing what is required. It's deliberate obfuscation. How else can you handle something so pointless and devisive as brexit. The debate is pointless. We move back to complete alignment and hope the brexit lot just don't notice. It may well work.

Anything to do with the EU HAS to be cloudy and unclear to keep the brexit lot away. This is a deliberate use of double speak as brexit is beyond logic & reason. They are doing this deliberately to avoid giving oxygen to the nutters. It may well work. This is politics. It's not a binary thing.
