I was so close to calling one of my kids Sixtus.

Just discovered his wife is called Helena De Chair.  Would love to find out she was christened Helen Smith.

REMAIN takes 8% lead in Brexit referendum voting intention from Survation

EU Referendum Voting Intention

Remain 54%
Leave 46% excl DKs

I'm a bit confused. What vote are we talking about here? The one we've already had?


yes

what would you do if the vote was today etc

Weren't all of the polls before the vote suggesting an even greater majority for Remain?

Can we take this to mean that it's actually swinging more in favour of Leave?

No.  The polls weren't showing that at all.  Was only wishful thinking that they would win by remainers.

Talking about austerity measures worldwide.

Rees-Mogg would get my vote. The more i see and hear of him the more I like him. Very calm and measured in all of his responses.

Time to bus off the old selfish folk to Yarmouth and land a nuke. 

or increase the voting age to 30.

Or lower the maximum age to state retirement age.

He's a clever man for sure, I don't think he's the answer but if it was a choice betweem him Boris and Davis I'd prefer JRM 

Similarly, the likes of Richard Burgon - I'd get rid.  Everytime I see him on the telly I wast  to fire my shoe at the screen.

It's not often that Question Time gets more laughs than Mrs Brown ( well maybe it is ) but when Richard Burgon claimed that Labour campaigned vigorously to remain in the EU it brought the house down from the audience and panelists alike.

JRM was very good last night.  Think he is too busy knocking out kids to consider the leadership of the country!

Burgon is just another script reading champagne socialist.  Tilts the fuck out of me when these guys can't just sit there and discuss mainstream issues without constantly looking down at their pre prepared answers for the questions they know they will get shoved at them. Love when he got owned by the guy in the crowd about never living in the real world or running a business and then said 'let me answer that point' but he didn't answer the point in the slightest and just bullshitted his way out of the situation.

“Our manifesto was an ideologue’s wet dream. No young person thought it made sense.” Tories want their own Momentum:
