I want to take your money @The_Invincibles
I sense that you aren’t keen on my previous suggestion, so let me offer you something that you might find more attractive:
I bet you that Starmer won’t be lead the Labour Party into the 2029 General Election. £30?
I do believe @Electrifying bought this up before.
One of the few good things about this country.
Can bowl cunt please just get the sack
It’s the beginning of the end for Starmer, this will be a one term Labour Government. There’s only a very narrow path to pull out of this death spin.
The only question that remains is when the party will ditch him in a desperate attempt to prevent the inevitable. I suspect when Reeves is forced to raise taxes on “working people” will be the final nail.
I said I’d give them a year, and they’ve muckied their ticket as usual.
They’re not really a proper left wing party, and I wonder whether they’ve ever been (bar that spell with Corbyn)
Much ado about nothing.
Just for balance…
BBC reporting that while some fishermen say the 12 year deal is “absolutely disastrous”, a lobby group for Scottish salmon exporters calls it a “breakthrough” - “We congratulate the UK government on securing this deal with the EU which will slash red tape and the time taken to get premium salmon to market,” says Tavish Scott, chief executive of Salmon Scotland.
BBC clarifies that Scottish salmon is the UK’s largest food export.
Sounds like a good deal for exports to me!
Ant other posts in this thread you feel like replying to? 
It’s objectively a horrible surrender deal, the standards regulating British fish exports haven’t changed since we were in the EU, the only thing that did was the imposition of arbitrary and unilateral barriers to trade imposed by the EU to punish UK fisheries.
We’re an Island nation surrounded by the bounty of the sea, we have an exclusive right to fish our own waters within our territory. How is it fair or reasonable for the EU to leverage access to an export market that for their own fishermen to have access to UK waters for an extended period?
I’m sure Scottish salmon exporters are delighted, they don’t have to compete with aggressive fleets in from 3 different nations.
Clearly, fishing is valuable political football despite the fairly nominal % of exports it accounts for, why has KS totally surrendered on it!?
No…that was the consequence of leaving the EU and coming out of the free market. If the deal is to restore access permanently, then 12 additional years of access to the waters seems a reasonable price to pay.
We’re really going to have to go over Brexit bollocks again? Already the liars and charlatans are out in force.
come join the EU side again.
we have cookies.
I remember when this was the biggest shit show we had to worry about in world affairs.
I feel almost nostalgic.
The EU defence deal probably played a role as well.
Brexit was such a huge own goal, I think giving up the fisheries thing is a small price to pay to try and claw back some of the benefits we had when we were in the EU.
Love to see the Lib Dem’s doing well
Wonder where they’d be without the tuition fee saga.
Seriously.
Such a minor thing in the grand scheme of things when you look at the destruction wrought upon us by the Tories lol
Before you open the article, take just one guess who is to blame
They were part of that destruction for the first five years, meekly going along with a disastrous policy of austerity that didn’t even work.
For me, I don’t give too big a shit about the tuition fees, its everything else they went along with that is a permanent stain on their name for me.
But that’s just me, not arguing that the biggest black mark against them for many is the tuition fee stuff. Probably because a load of students and young people felt horribly duped by them. Pleased to say I saw through it at the time and didn’t vote for them, unlike a fair few of my left leaning pals at the time, so I feel no sense of betrayal.
Ruined themselves for a whiff of power that was illusory.
