You cretins don't mind how thick your politicians are provided they support Brexit.
It's become a religion with some.
Honestly on what planet is Andrea Leadsom leadership material?

Are you on drugs? How can you forget her visionary trade leadership?

British jam, tea and biscuits will be at the heart of Britain's Brexit trade negotiations, the Government has said, as it unveiled plans to sell food to other countries to boost the economy.

In a speech at a trade fair in Paris last night, Environment Minister Andrea Leadsom outlined key Brexit preparation plans which she claimed would deliver a £2.9bn boost to the UK over five years.

Ahead of Article 50 being triggered next Spring, the point when Brexit negotiations can start, the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has launched a so-called 'International Action Plan for Food and Drink'.

It has identified nine markets across 18 countries with the best potential for specific products for selling British produce.

These include Japan, which apparently has a growing hunger for classic British items like afternoon tea items and beef.

It seems Priti has been replaced by someone who looks good in a swimsuit. Have we turned into Italy?

I wonder is her successor related to Norman Mordaunt, of the speaker company.

We know how thick you are, but we don't consider ourselves rude enough to mention it at every available opportunity. After all, you can't help it...

Will Priti kiss and tell on brexit and bring down the PM?

Yes.

They do not pay tax in the UK therefore they will pay higher property taxes.

If I live long enough, I'm voting Fox.

I trust this will be rigorously applied to Air BNB flats in Edinburgh owned by former British citizens?

Yes.

[PhiltheGreek]

Non-doms will pay tax on all property they own, and if that property is vacant the tax will be doubled
Owners of multiple properties will pay tax on 2nd properties and beyond, taxes increased if they are unoccupied for more than half the year.

Ah, populist.

OK, hanging for murder, paedophilia, and conviction for a third indictable offence ("Three strikes and you're out")

You'd walk it with those policies, provided the UK was out of the ECHR.

I am not Minister of Justice or the deputy PM but I will tell him and her your concerns.

She's pretty sound on Brexit: https://www.politico.eu/list/brexit-...ndrea-leadsom/

But I suspect TM would worry (possibly not without good reason) that she would start stealing the show and be seen as a possible successor.

If you're thinking our party might end up in outright power, sure you can be the Home Secretary.

What policies would you like?
They need to be populist.

Implement a system to check and record people leaving and entering the UK. It will take a minimum of one full parliament to implement. This will have the advantage that all illegal immigrants can be more easily tracked and chucked out plus all friendly countries members who aren't self-supporting can be sent home.

Make it a requirement that all foreign citizens from non-friendly countries entering the UK have health insurance from a list of approved providers that covers the duration of their stay and that it is checked on entry. Anyone without it is put on a flight home. A few high profile cases will ensure people comply.

Re-nationalise all of the probation service.

[WTFH]

Dare I ask what you would do about B****t?

I've got used to your B***s**t, might put you in the Ministry for Information.

If you're talking about the other thing, I would get the sharpest minds in the country... to round up a wide group of people and put them in a special place where they can argue day in, day out about it.
Once they work out what they actually want (not ethereal fuzzy words, but actual wants), then we'd review it.
After doing all the preliminary work on that, we'd end up with a fact list and a desired end goal. Then we'd have a vote as to whether the country wanted that end goal or not based on the facts.

[BrilloPad]

Taxes cannot be applied retrospectively. I think you will lose some CUK votes there. Unless I am excluded.

Legalise assisted dying. By machine gun? Allowed against all cyclists who break your cycling laws?

Dare I ask what you would do about B****t?

Reduce net migration to 10'000s.....

I'd prefer to suggest reducing population growth, but if I get the policies right, the over 70's will be leaving the country in their droves.
