Anybody mentioned Gibraltar yet?

It's going to be moved to Northern Ireland.

Yes, but just think of the blue passports that they will be able to look at when stuck in Dover for 4 days.

Sir Keir Starmer, the shadow Brexit secretary, was on the Today programme this morning defending Labour’s move. His key argument was that, if Corbyn did order his MPs to back the EEA amendment, the party would split. Asked why the party was not backing it, he said:

The difficulty with that, and I think everybody recognises this, is that there are very strong and very different views across the PLP on that particular amendment. So, whilst there’s unity on all the others and we will all be voting together, on that amendment there are very divided views.

Asked if he was putting party unity before his beliefs about what is right for the country, he replied:

I’m injecting some honesty about where we are in the Labour party.

We've got to pander to the head bangers, because otherwise the party will be divided!

It's never the other way is it?

strawberry float Labor and coward Corbyn

As this guy points out - the EEA amendment is the best chance to get cross party support, Tory Rebels will never vote for a Lab motion.

Ignored and forgotten.

Just found out today we have a London office. I'm pretty sure it's a small one that is a base for going for tender's on construction in England but we do the work all over here. Currently working on some offices in Manchester for example.

I wonder if Brexit will effect us, being as most of it is electronic?

They will soon remember it when it is time to stoke up the "patriots".

Depends on where your company is actually registered for tax and trade purposes.

The office itself might not do that much for the company but who knows what grubby reasons the accountants have for keeping an office operating in the UK.

It'll be fun if they manage to sort Ireland as right away the EU/Spain will go right Giblalter what's the plan and we we will go back to "they will be in the market the rest won't" and repeat the entire Ireland play book.

It will all depend on what Brexit actually is. We will let you know once the UK government decide what it is.

And then the EU reject that idea.

They are such bullies. All we want is to eat all of the cake in the UK, while also having all of the cakes in Europe.

Currently it sounds like Labour won't back EEA because it won't win

Are the Labour frontbench going to miss the chance?

My guess is, yes of course they'll strawberry floating miss it.

What's the rough breakdown of the Tories and Labour between Hard Remainers, Hard Brexiters, and those who will toe the party line?

[Lex-Man]

42.2 percent of Tories voted leave apparently.

European fruit pickers shun Britain
Recruitment agencies are warning that they cannot secure the number of workers needed by British farmers to pick their fruit and vegetables.

Over half of recruitment companies could not find the labour even in the "quiet" first months of this year, the Association of Labour Providers says

The National Farmers Union reports that last year there was a 17% drop in seasonal workers coming to the UK.

This led to some valuable produce being left to rot in the fields.

Ninety-nine percent of seasonal workers on British farms come from Eastern Europe. Two-thirds of these come from Romania and Bulgaria.

Kent-based AG Recruitment and Management works in Romania to supply labour for 80 growers across the UK.

Over the next few months it needs to find 4,000 people to pick strawberries, raspberries, and eventually apples and pears. The agency is nowhere near that target, and is having to call farmers to say it will not have enough pickers for them.

According to co-director, Estera Amesz, the numbers of people wanting to work in Britain fell sharply after Brexit. A key issue was the fall in the value of the pound. She says it is also down to the uncertainty; people aren't sure what documents they now need.

"We used to have queues outside our office in Bucharest. Thirty to 40 people would come a day. Now, on a good day, it's a handful. We used to take the crème de la crème. Now, we are scraping the barrel."

Bloody foreigners, not coming here and not taking our jobs.

Brexitards will declare this a victory though.

[Lex-Man]

Let's get the OAP's and students to pick the fruits for us.
