Says who??  It will one presumes be the Tory's who are in the negotiating seat for such negotiations.  If they don't want to guarantee losing the next election then they won't agree to take more people unless we need those people.  

 

 

As for Dave's 'negotiations', well, whatever side you are going to argue for - Leave or Remain - make your arguments in a reasonable and honest manner.  However, anyone - ANYONE - who argues that what Cameron came back with fundamentally changes our relationship with the EU, as he promised he would do, is simply fucking lying to us and treating the people for fools.  It's utter bollocks.

 

For me the EU is a failed institution that had noble origins but ultimately took too much control over too many aspects of the lives of hundreds of millions of people.  It got greedy.

 

Spot on. I dont think immigration is a key issue though.

 

In the early days of the 'Common Market,' free movement of labour was sustainable. It might even still be sustainable in todays EU if it was just movement of labour ie you had a job to go to in another member state and not just the freedom to move around member states in the hope of a job as it is today.

 

We still wont have supremacy in determining our own laws, the ECJ will continue to trump our own Supreme Court. People say we should stay in the EU for workers protection. That'll be the same EU that prevent state intervention with aid then will it? The same EU that prevents intervention in our steel industry, our extinct ship building industry, our inshore and deep sea fishing industries? All those jobs protected by the EU being good for workers rights? Well, I guess it was good for some EU coutries workers, just not ours.

 

cameron's watered down concessions, and make no mistake, despite 'our dave's' comments they are severely watered down from what he wanted, will result in the UK becoming a 3rd class member of the EU.

 

As Ive said before, a strong sensible Labour Government can deliver all the workers rights and protection. We dont need the EU and for those and a myriad of other reasons, Im voting out!

Boris is voting against it according to his piece of skirt at the BBC.

Him and that fucking cunt gove are just looking at what gives them the best chance to be PM. They know labour are in a mess and think they can be re-elected no matter what happens between now and the next parliament. If the in campaign wins, Cameron remains PM then his cunty mate Osborne takes over, which makes Boris and goves chance of being PM zero or 10-15 year wait. However, if there's an out vote, the tories will throw Cameron to the wolves and elect a new führer. That gives gove and Boris their best chance. Self serving twats the lot of them.

We will be lucky to get any Labour government,let alone a 'strong' one. If we did and after they inevitably get kicked out,who will protect the workers(whats left of them) then?

Gove will be pissed off for that very reason.

So that's BoJo, Pob and IDS going against their party leader now.

 

When will we have Kuenssberg etc describing the Tories as a divided party in turmoil etc like we did over the Labour Trident disagreements?

 

She's clearly avoiding the issue of splits in the Tory party, which is why these are her last 20 Tweets:

 

 

Laura Kuenssberg ‏@bbclaurak 3h3 hours ago

Ouch! @nick_clegg: This is what you get with one party politics: the country's future reduced to uni chums arguing with each other.”

 

Laura Kuenssberg ‏@bbclaurak 4h4 hours ago

Boris told the PM by text at 4.40 he was going to back Leave - guesses as to what he said ?

 

Laura Kuenssberg ‏@bbclaurak 5h5 hours ago

Boris says he'll join @vote_leave but won't debate with the PM

 

Laura Kuenssberg ‏@bbclaurak 5h5 hours ago

He said his concerns about sovereignty and democracy have led him to the decision and this will be the only chance we have to leave

 

Laura Kuenssberg ‏@bbclaurak 5h5 hours ago

Boris says he doesn't see how he had any other choice-denies it's about his leadership ambition (shock)

 

Laura Kuenssberg ‏@bbclaurak  5h5 hours ago

Gang of six about to become Gang of seven

If you're not doing normal things most people do on Sundays + waiting for Boris this might (!) keep you entertained http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-eu-referendum-35626143

IDS also reveals Cameron tried to get rest of EU to agree a brake on total number of EU migrants who could come to UK but got nowhere

 

 Laura Kuenssberg ‏@bbclaurak  10h10 hours ago

IDS interview on @bbcnews now - will post link when online soon

 

 Laura Kuenssberg ‏@bbclaurak  10h10 hours ago

IDS, serial Maastricht rebel, maintains Tories don't have to fall out and split over EU, it will be 'robust' but doesn't have to divide

 

 Laura Kuenssberg ‏@bbclaurak  10h10 hours ago

In what he says is '1st time he's talked Europe in 10 yrs' he says it's a 'silly game' to pretend EU is anything other than political union

 

 Laura Kuenssberg ‏@bbclaurak  10h10 hours ago

IDS - we are more vulnerable to a Paris style attack if we stay in the EU + PM's deal would only make small difference to immigration

 

Oh, wait...

Because once we're out those with the fingers in the pies will be able to drag employment and human rights laws back to the 1700s to ensure more lolly and less hassle for them.

 

First hand experience of the 1700's will be invaluable!!!!

Oh, wait...

I thought you'd blocked me?

 

I didn't see any tweets about Tory turmoil etc though? Surely any idiot can tell the difference between factual based discussion of people holding different opinions and, on the other hand, dramatising a similar situation and talking about turmoil, in fighting etc?

 

Oh, wait...
