"Impossible to reform" after a "long opposed" 1 term informal agreement was dropped. 🤦‍♂️
The British establishment still pushing out this line, and history still making them look like total pillocks.
From the people who demanded a referendum on the "Reform treaty" so they could vote it down, and with it that parliamentary vote.
And, crucially, reforms that were commitments in manifestos that the British people had voted for...

OK, I don’t think there is much to jump on about the Amsterdam thing. (Thread)
But I also think that that Andrew Bailey misses the point.
During the referendum the argument was made that because the EU regulatory regime was agreed with the UK that passporting would be granted.

There is absolutely no need for a minority to pressure the supermarkets into buying stock with a short shelf life that won't be sold, John, but all is not lost mate...

...Chris has some really good ideas about solving this problem, and I believe he might even have some big contacts in Oman and Bahrein who are willing to buy tonnes of our stock.

There is actually another way, and I think it's in the contract. It's time for the Commission to work with the memberstates the UK and with AZ in terms of working out how to boost supply.

The AZ contracts can't be filled, arguing over today's supply is just not productive.
Or, we can spend all our time arguing about what we can't fix. Get angry and outraged and maybe plant the seeds of resentment to harvest later on.
I mean... I know people are dying and everything, but why should they be our priority when we can make it all about nationalism?

And it's not a special British clause.

If calling Brexiteers idiots is such a bad thing, why don't the Brexiteer politicians treating them like idiots get similarly castigated?
Or is it Brexiteer politicians who think we're ALL idiots?

Or do Brexiteer politicians get a free pass for treating people as if they are thick and making all Brexiteers look thick, because it allows them play victim when people react and call them thick?

How did spreading lies about the EU help, Laura?
And literally nobody was "ignoring the referendum". Ignoring it would mean not even turning up to the debates in parliament.

Pathetic political language from a coward who turned on the EU and started spreading lies to save her own seat.
And it was exactly cowards like Laura that meant that keeping the government WA from passing before the election was looking difficult.
