What does this even mean? It's very clear you don't support Corbyn but where's any evidence for your very general assertion?

Sorry Sue - hadn't seen your similiar post.

Awaiting a response.


Not holding my breath.

It's not so much who is in favour of leave or remain as even those advocating for a second referendum agree that we would leave if the vote went that way in the follow up plebiscite [the first and probably the last time I ever get to use that word!].


However, according to today's FT:


BREX: Leave as soon as possible by all means necessary, including with a no-deal Brexit.


LAB: Leave with a deal, not the current withdrawal deal proposed by the Prime Minister but with the aim of ultimately remaining in a customs union with the EU and within the single market.


CON: Officially, the current withdrawal deal, but not supported by the entire party.


GRN: Second referendum


LDEM: Second referendum


UKIP: Not mentioned by the FT.


CHUK: Second referendum


This is pure gossip but I had dinner with a civil servant yesterday who reckons Labour and the Conservatives are close to agreeing Labour support for the current withdrawal deal in exchange for a political declaration to work towards a customs union with the EU during the transition period. In which case we wouldn't be involved in the European elections at all and Brexit day would happen very soon without a second referendum. To be really clear this person has no inside knowledge, but that was their best guess of what would happen.

Yet last nights Evening Standard saying this would cost Labour a huge amount of support - just as they hit a good lead with the Tories in freefall. Would Corbyn really do that - although he can't look like he's negotiating in bad faith.

LOL My twitter timeline after seeing something written on his facebook 'Lord Adonis is a born again leaver'


I think as the South West EU elections primary candidate he has been asked to think about the secondary candidate and has reined in the remain rhetoric for now (you can't vote for an individual only a party) ?.


(sorry got that wrong as he is second candidate for labour behind Clare Moody, also in the region Rachel Johnson (Sister of Boris), Anne Widdecombe and Carl Benjamin (Sargon of Akkad).



Here's a link

It's disappointing that the 3 remain parties, LibDems, Change UK, and Greens haven't agreed some form of umbrella grouping remainers can vote for, or agree a strategy to stand aside and let just one of the parties stand in each area.

In lieu of such pragmatic, sensible cooperation, and also because the elections are based on the D'Hondt PR system, my vote will go to the party that is doing best in the polls for whatever area we come under.

Here's an explainer how D'Hondt works...

Outrageous that last week only 300 of 3.7m EU citizens living in UK were registered to vote in EU elections! Monumental cockup. We've spent the last 24 hours building this to let people send the UC-1 form online. Please RT or send to EU citizens in UK: https://registertovote.eu/

Makes you wonder why they came here!

The link highlights that EU citizens might think that they are registered to vote for the European elections because they are registered for other UK elections, but for the European elections they also need to register using another specific form...


European Parliament elections are on 23 May - as an EU citizen, you're entitled to vote here in the United Kingdom. Even if you are registered to vote in other UK elections, for these elections the UK government requires an extra step to register to vote.


You have to fill in the UC-1 form and send it to your local electoral registration offices. This is normally publicised well in advance, but because of Brexit, most people haven?t been told. This tool will allow you to submit the UC-1 form online. Don?t lose your vote!

Thank you so much for this, I had no idea you had to register separately and can't remember whether I already am or not, so have just done it anyway.

Sue, my understanding is as a UK citizen, if you are on the electoral register, you don?t need to register to vote in the EU elections. Your polling card should come through automatically.


EU citizens do though, presumably to avoid duplication in case they are registered elsewhere or have postal votes etc

      Or turning left,  continuing on down Forest Hill Road and turning right further up.  Google maps has Dulwich marked at the junction by the old Grove, where the South Circular heads off towards the rest of Dulwich. But whatever, yes you can definitely get to Dulwich by going in the direction shown on the signpost! I'm not sure you would get "anywhere" by going straight down, though, let alone 23 miles down 🤣 I like the "Now here" though!

      Is Rachel Reeves becoming the new Liz Truss?

      By HeadNun · Posted

      There is no doubt that Labour's doom mongering when it came into office spooked the markets. Plenty of analysts and businesses said so pre-budget. And why the budget was leaked so much before its announcement, I do not know. Honestly, whoever is in charge of comms really needs to get the boot.  I am so sick of hearing them bang on about 14 years of Tory decay - Labour repeatedly pressed the Tories for longer, more astringent lockdowns. It's largely thanks to the furlough scheme that we're in so much debt. I was such a staunch lockdown supporter at the time and now, looking back, it seems draconian. We're still paying the price in so many ways.

      Dulwich is a slightly ill-defined concept.  I think this definition is "Dulwich Library" via Barry Road
