Jeremy Corbyn and the Labour Party - Looking forward to 2024

BBC News: Reports " Labour has readmitted former leader Jeremy Corbyn as a member following his suspension last month.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a major moment for Sir Keir Starmer, his actions could decide if he wins the general election of 2024.  The fact that Jeremy Corbyn was suspended from the Party was a good move in Starmer winning the 2024 election, this reverse by a sub committee shows that the Starmer leadership has not set the Party in his image, Starmer has a choice, accept Corbyn back and give him the Labour Whip or reject Corbyn by keeping him on the out.  One hopes Sir Keir shows a backbone and does not give Corbyn the Labour Whip, this would be a CLEAR MESSAGE, it might risk an internal Labour revolt, better that NOW, that the extreme left thinking they can do what they like and there are no ramifications from the leadership.  Sir Keir should think, what would Lady Thatcher do in such a case.

UK/EU Deal by Next Tuesday - UK Delegation- Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Daily Mail: Reports " Brexit trade deal 'could be done by Tuesday, Britain's chief negotiator David Frost tells Boris Johnson' "

Lets Get Real:

Thus Thursday this week was seen as the deadline, as noted in previous post the EU is looking for ways around having the 27 Parliaments of the EU having to approve a DEAL.  The article states that a deal could be done by NEXT Tuesday. At some point someone has to say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH, these talks are two steps forward and one step back.  One can only hope that the PM keeps to Thursday as a deadline, then the EU will coming running in the NEW YEAR due to the economic ramifications of a NO DEAL BREXIT, these endless deadlines are making the talks a farce, and it is no longer funny.  UK fish are still OUR FISH, end of subject and discussion one hopes.

Brexit Talks Latest - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " Brexit: EU lawyers look into plans to rush through a trade deal - but pessimism is growing...In one scenario, a deal would be given a new "classification", removing the need to have it ratified by every European parliament.  "

Lets Get Real:

The UK produces the Internal Market Bill and the EU goes mad, its shouts about overwriting a TREATY, but what happens when the EU want something, its all right by the liberal elites in Brussels and the REMAIN networks in the UK.  The EU is either about law or it is not, this blog deals in political realities, thus this another attempt by the EU to keep the UK in endless talks. ENOUGH is ENOUGH, in less the UK gets the agreement it wants, then the UK should walk away from the talks at the end of this week.  The PM has to be FIRM on this issue and not to change him mind on this subject.  A good and fair deal would be nice, but the UK can go it alone, then wait as the EU comes back running to London after the New Year.

Biden on Trump and the Transition - US Politics

BBC News: Reports " Joe Biden has warned "people may die" if his incoming presidential administration continues to be impeded by Donald Trump.  "

Lets Get Real:

One has to ask is the Trump Oval trying to torpedo the incoming Biden Administration, from the Trump's Oval view his Administration was attacked even before he become President and these attacks when on for four years and also he was impeached.  The COVID -  19 death total is in the hundred of thousands, thus the problem becomes a Biden problem from the 20th of January 2221.  It can be gamed out that Trump wants another run at Biden in 2024, and thus wants to cause him plenty of problems on his first day on the job.   That is just the domestic side, the Trump Oval is trying to bring ALL troops home from Afghanistan to Iraq, that will be great news to the enemies and terrorists around the World.  Someone close to the Trump Oval, needs to remind him, that if he wins in 2024 then he will be in the same position and Biden, thus better to have some kind of relationship NOW, and not face the same problems as Biden will face in 2021.

Deal or No Deal on Brexit Deal ? - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Telegraph ( Paywall after free articles ): Reports " 'We may not succeed', says UK's chief Brexit trade negotiator...Lord Frost signalled he would not be deviating from Boris Johnson’s 'red lines' but revealed there had been 'some positive progress  "

Lets Get Real:

IF this is the final crunch week we shall see if the PM makes any concessions or he is keeping to his read lines over fish and a level playing field ( UK and EU regulations match up ) the PM has to keep the European Research Group happy ( they are firm Brexit supporters who will not be sold out ).  In Europe there has been talk that the latest sackings in No 10 would mean concessions from the PM, they might be miss reading recent events, the PM will need to be shown as being firm, that recent internal changes do not change the UK's position on Brexit.  Thus we shall see by next Thursday, of course the self - isolation of the PM might mean a few days here or there will have to go over the Thursday deadline, we shall see.  Thus another BREXIT crunch week!!

The CRUNCH WEEK for BREXIT - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " No trade deal if Boris Johnson breaks international law, Ireland warns...Tensions ratchet up as UK negotiators land in Brussels to try to hammer out an agreement. "

Lets Get Real:

Is the CRUNCH WEEK, thus far every week has been a crunch week, this week is seen as the final week for tough decisions, there are three main issues, the UK's Internal Market Bill that overwrites parts of the Withdrawal Agreement, the issue of fish and the how much a Government can support different aspects of the economy.  As for FISH the PM can not give way without calls saying he has sold out the fishing communities, as for State support that should be easy, just find the right words that gives both sides what they want and give that impressions and would take a Court weeks or months to solve.  The chances of a deal is can be argued are 6/10, with goodwill from both sides. 

UK Boris in self - isolation - Health/Boris Era

BBC News: Reports " Boris Johnson self-isolating after MP tests positive for Covid-19 "

Lets Get Real:

The PM has had a rotten year since his massive general election win in 2019, the first lockdown, then getting COVID - 19 himself, and as reported it was touch and go for a while for the PM.  Then being bounced in to 2nd lockdown by a Cabinet leak, and then this week, he fired two close staff and this is the WEEK for a final decision for Brexit.  The PM has stated that he feels fine, and he should be immune, this latest development should show if you get through COVID - 19 the first time, are you immune?  This week the PM will be called to decide the fate of the UK / EU talks, who will give way first, and what if any concessions will be made by either side.  It's never boring on the Boris watch!!!
