India gets what it wants. What does Britain get? More immigration from India and - if the negotiations go as well as Britain is hoping, a massive 0.2% increase on trade for Britain over ten years.

Wow. What a win for Britain…

A jolly good spanking from nanny, perhaps?


Meanwhile in the House of Commons

Just a general thread for statements, quotations, Tweets and stuff that politicians and other politically motivated individuals say on any given topic. Any political subject is fair game as long as its reasonably topical.

Yes, you are.

The very basis of law in any civilised country is that nobody is above the law, and everybody is equal before the law. This was true even in medieval times. Alfred the Great wrote the first book of English law and…

And the French people voted for him so, you know, democracy and all that.

Funny thing this democracy. When you go around telling other people to suck it up, Karma has a way of throwing your words back at you.

Spookily this election reveals the difference between FPTP and PR with a rather telling comparison

Le Pen lost heavily with 41% of the popular vote. And yet, in Britain, 43% of the popular vote was enough to give the tories a landslide election victory.
