Wrong Unstable Leadership
This shit is having real consequences. My office has not employed anyone on a permanent basis in over 8 months. Been contract, contract...contract.
People won't accept them in nl at the moment, they are using 'full time contract' to entice employees rather than salaries. If people do that in the uk they will disappear

I work in the NHS and it is increasingly the same shit. It's not anything to do with Brexit here, but supposedly a way of managing the burden of having potentially surplus employees in permanent employment. All it does is make us piss ever larger sums of money up the wall on stop gap consultancy and agency employees and constantly have employees jumping ship as their contract winds down.

May saying the Government must prepare for all outcomes including no deal :nervous:
Well she said three times that the UK were definitely leaving the EU and the EUCU but also think that she fixed the border issue, so if she is genuine she is driving the UK to no deal.

Aye, not the NHS but the firm a mate works for is getting increasingly pissed off at the number of agency employees they're getting in on temporary contracts. He gets paid per job, so it's in his best interests to get them done as quickly as possible, but the agency employees that are being brought in under him are paid per hour despite being brought in for a single job, so they all drag their heels because they know they're unemployed again as soon as the job's done.

He said he's earning less at the moment than he was this time last year because everything's taking longer, but the company won't hire anyone on a permanent basis because they're worried about losing a load of contracts once we leave the EU and having surplus staff.

Was Corbyn going on buses at last week's PMQs an elaborate set up for the joke today? If so the man has superhuman foresight

Honestly, these politicians are just laughing it up.

This has livened up their Monday, what a laugh. Rest of us, just continues to force us further into the shit bath they've run for us.

“I believe the Prime Minister to be a rational human being”

Surprised that didn’t get more laughs tbh.

Wait, did she said that she was against the "EEA plus" option?

The worrying thing this is we all found it funny last time their leader went and ended up with a worse leader. If Mogg gets elected :nervous:

"Will of the people" - we're to blame for this. Or rather 52% that voted to Leave and the twats that didn't bother.

I get that. Campaigns run based on lies and cheap shots persuaded those unable to critically think. Add that to those who honestly saw benefits to it (although, nobody seems to be able to name any).. it's our own fault.

Listened to the exchange in the car there. Looking shooting fish in the barrel for Corbyn but he did well.

I think this leaves her stronger. She will have a good deal of cross-party support for this proposal and she has lost a couple of thorns in her side.

I get the impression that Mays plan is that industries inside the UK that want to trade with EU will be able to conform to the industrial regulations required for EU while simultaneously companies inside the UK trading with other regions will be able to conform to different industrial regulations. Am I hearing that correctly?

She's just said she will end freedom of movement - how does she intend to do that with a soft Brexit?:lol:

Still spouting shite.

She said no custom union, no single market, no ECJ and no freedom of movement. Which essentially means no deal and leads to the question, why is she negotiating with the EU?

The whole Brexit document is basically "we say we aren't doing this but we really are". It feels like they're trying to con the public, by phrasing staying in the single market and accepting free movement in a way that makes it sound like they are no longer in them, when of course, they are.

It'll probably work with a lot of them, too.

This is going to be kicked into touch by the EU.
Not so sure. They will probably want some further concessions but I reckon they will be glad that Davis and Johnson are gone. Generally speaking I think they like May. I reckon she could have been given some assurances from Merkel and the like.

I don't understand what the point is of this white paper. It's more of a white elephant than a white paper.
