``Tow rag, not toerag, was a term used by sailors who tied a piece of rag to a rope at the head of a ship, where there was a hole above the sea for use as a toilet. The rag would be used to wipe themselves and then dropped in the water to clean itself for the next user.``

``โ€œSo believe it or not, the 21 Tory MPs expelled from the parliamentary Conservative party, plus Rudd who quit, refused to support opposition MPs who wanted to put down an SO24 motion that would have allowed MPs to seize control of parliamentโ€™s business on any day between now and Brexit day on 31 October.

โ€œLabour and SNP had ordered all their MPs to London to support the motion. But now it wonโ€™t be put on the order paper till next Tuesday, if at all.

โ€œThe point of the motion was to give MPs the power to pass whatever legislation they thought they need to stop a no deal Brexit on 31 October.

โ€œBut the Tory rebels apparently now buy the Johnson and Cummings argument that MPs flexing their collective muscles to stop a no deal Brexit is undermining their chances of getting a deal.โ€``

``Downing Street is preparing for Brexit talks to collapse this week, as a Number 10 source revealed the party intends to fight the next election on a no-deal platform.

In a memo widely believed to be a text message sent by Dominic Cummings, Downing Street warns negotiations will "probably end this week" and that if the deal dies "it won't be revived".

"To marginalise the Brexit Party, we will have to fight the election on the basis of โ€˜no more delays, get Brexit done immediately'," the memo reads.

It reiterates that the Government has no intention to "negotiate further" and therefore any delay "would be totally pointless".

"They think now that if there is another delay we will keep coming back with new proposals. This wonโ€™t happen,"``

2019-10-08 10:19:31 UTC [Athens #uk_politics]  

it was always going to be no-deal wasn't it

2019-10-08 10:19:35 UTC [Athens #uk_politics]

if this is the middle phase (picking/packing) then there's automated production and delivery

https://youtu.be/4DKrcpa8Z_E

2019-10-08 16:25:56 UTC [Athens #uk_politics]  

we already have automated vehicles (drones, cars, etc) so technically delivery could already be automated

``At least 50 Conservative MPs would revolt against a general election manifesto that pledged to pursue a no-deal Brexit, according to two members of the government.

Scores of Tory MPs oppose the idea and some are considering running on a softer individual Brexit platform or even standing aside as a Conservative candidate.

One minister predicted that โ€œat least 50 colleagues could not back no-deal, including several in the cabinetโ€. Another said: โ€œSo much depends on the language but for me there has to be at least a nod to getting a deal.โ€
``

2019-10-09 09:21:25 UTC [Athens #uk_politics]  

and if it isn't their manifesto they can expect to get chewed up by farage

2019-10-09 09:22:35 UTC [Athens #uk_politics]  

``โ€œTo marginalise the Brexit party, we will have to fight the election on the basis of โ€˜no more delays, get Brexit done immediatelyโ€™,โ€ the official said. โ€œWe will focus on winning the election on a manifesto of immediately revoking the entire EU legal order without further talks, and then we will leave.โ€
``

2019-10-09 09:24:19 UTC [Athens #uk_politics]  

oh yeah and if they do explicitly back no-deal, they can expect farage's support rather than hindrance

this is the ruling in scotland? i thought that was yesterday but i didnt hear the result

2019-10-09 10:40:28 UTC [Athens #uk_politics]  

LONDON (Reuters) - Scotlandโ€™s highest court said on Wednesday it would wait until Oct. 21 on whether to issue a ruling to force British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to abide by a law compelling him to seek a Brexit delay, a lawmaker involved in the case said.

joshu does your attitude change if we're talking about rich saudis/chinese/others buying up homes as investments?

2019-10-09 15:38:01 UTC [Athens #uk_politics]  

``Foreign investors are buying up thousands of homes suitable for first-time buyers in London, using them as buy-to-let investments and often holding them in offshore tax havens, research for the London mayor, Sadiq Khan, has revealed.

Led by investors from Hong Kong and Singapore, foreign buyers snapped up 3,600 of Londonโ€™s 28,000 newly built homes between 2014 and 2016, according to the most comprehensive survey yet of international investment in London housing. About half of those were priced for first-time buyers between ยฃ200,000 and ยฃ500,000.``
