ewerk 30620 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Quote SECRETARY of State Julian Smith has met representatives of loyalist paramilitary groups to discuss the Brexit withdrawal agreement and legacy arrangements. He hosted a reception for leading figures including representatives of political and community organisations linked to the UDA, UVF and Red Hand Commando. The meeting at the secretary of state’s official residence at Hillsborough shortly after Christmas – prior to the murder of Glen Quinn in Carrickfergus – was attended by around a dozen leading loyalists. The main issues raised are believed to have been loyalist concerns at British prime minister Boris Johnson’s Brexit withdrawal agreement which potentially places a border in the Irish Sea. Troubles prosecutions and loyalist concerns at what they claim is a one-sided legacy process were also raised. But aye, Corbyn once met Gerry Adams.

Rayvin 5223 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Brexit weakness might force their hand but under normal (non Brexit) circumstances I think they'd say no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blair was powerful in 2003. He had a decent majority. They all still voted for war in Iraq. Which I think we can all agree was a massive mistake. I like Starmer & Cooper but..

ewerk 30620 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 And I think that Starmer and Cooper are clever enough to have learned from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 17281 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Someone will need to pin them down on that. I don't think we're about to enter a major "boots on the ground' excercise in Iran but if Trump asks Johnson for UK support in drone strikes, RAF bombing raids or naval support then it's odds on that it will happen. That will endanger us all, on what seems to me to be a distraction excercise in am election year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5223 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Miliband pushed to prevent our entry into Syria. I think Labour have learned. Plus Trump and the US are no longer natural allies for Labour, who will continue to look towards Europe IMO. As for Johnson, I agree. He'll take us to war.

Rayvin 5223 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Can Labour continue to get away with not having a female leader? I mean it's possibly getting embarrassing now. I've seen commentators on the right making the claim that Labour's commitment to positive discrimination and female shortlist has put them in a position where they have many female MPs but few actually talented ones.

I can’t determine that at the moment. A lot of moved towards Long-Bailey, who I like but is far too close to Corbyn for me. Starmer is left too & not at all a centrist.
