German THREAT over Brexit Talks - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Period


Lets Get Real:

The Germans have LEARNED NOTHING on how to deal with the UK, the May years were a disaster and NOW the Germans are grandstanding to please Brussels and the French.  The UK has made it CLEAR twice, once in 2016 and then in 2019 that we want out of the EU.  The hard approach of the EU will not go down well the the UK voter.    The Germans were expected to bring some reality in to the game, the above article shows how to really push the buttons of the UK voter.  The UK PM has stated that a deal should be gotten by the end of July, thus far it does not look good.   The EU has to smell the coffee and make a good deal with the UK or else we become the competition.

The Labour LEFT and Sir Keir Starmer - Labour Reborn? Part 2


Lets Get Real:

The next General Election is planned for December 19th 2024, of course this  under the fixed term Parliament Act, the Conservative Manifesto promised to repeal that ACT, this would allow the PM to chose the day of the General Election.  If the House of Commons passes the removal of the Fixed Term Parliament then the next election could be in 2023.  The Labour Party needs to rebuild the red wall and show Labour voters that they can be trusted.  In the 2019 election they had three problems, Jeremy Corbyn, Brexit and the Anti Jewish perception of the Labour Party.  The first two have been fixed, Corbyn is OUT, and Brexit by the end of the year will be done.  The Anti Jewish perception will be removed if Starmer carries on with his zero tolerance of any alleged negative Jewish statements by Labour members, MPs etc.   This has been a good two days for Starmer.

Is Sir Keir Starmer the NEW " Tony Blair " - Labour reborn ?

Lets Get Real:

The sacking of Rebecca Long - Bailey showed that the new Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer has STEEL in the blood, this was Starmer's clause 4 moment, it was a good fight to have with the LEFT.  In one stroke he removed his challenger from the leadership race and rebuffed the HARD LEFT of the Labour Party.   The Conservatives should keep an eye on Starmer, his PM Q/A's show a man who down on the detail, even if he has had a charisma by - pass.   Boris has to make sure that he gets BREXIT DONE, and spends more money on keeping people in either work or helping companies after the furlough scheme is finished.  At least the Government has a decent Opposition, will Starmer be the next PM ?, good start, but its a long road.
