This report is focused on Richard Sharp. However, the former PM also has significant questions to answer as he appointed Sharp despite knowing about the conflict of interest. Another shabby episode showing how bozo completely abused his position and has no moral code.

will be interesting to see who I find myself rooting for

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

I think it's more likely to be an attempt to gain an influence over the policy direction of the party he thinks is likely to win the next election than anything else

Fools who believed a big red bus with a catchy slogan.

The entrenched will be along shortly denouncing this as fake news or better than anything in the EU.

Busier, less busy or equally busy as foodbanks, would you say?

I need context.

On and on it goes, the remainers were predicting a much bigger drop in GDP and folk voted to leave, why folk regurgitate this info I’m not sure, we knew this was going to happen and folk voted on that basis. 
 

this was the remain argument. 
 

1. Based on these trade predictions and other factors, it was claimed UK productivity growth would weaken dramatically. Largely as a result, it was claimed that the UK economy might be as much as 8-10% smaller in the long term compared to a no-Brexit scenario. Households would be £4300 per year worse off.

So it’s really shit, just not really really really shit?

Thanks for clarifying

Did we know it was going to happen?  There was lots of talk at the time that the whole European thing could fall with us leaving.  If anything, us going has made the union stronger.  No way formerly skeptical countries like Italy, France or Greece would leave now.

“Short term pain” was mentioned, but I assumed that would be a year or two.

Mounts has quoted anywhere from 2 - 25 years

Maybe people voted Leave on the basis that the Leave Campaign said there would be no downsides at all...

That will never be admitted to.....

 

Anyway, as we know, both sides spouted equal amounts of shit and as it had never been done before, absolutely nobody really knew what the overall affect would be. A decision was made, and we just have to get on with it. We're in for a decade or so more of it getting worse, before it starts to get better, I think we do all know that now. 

Those on both sides, who blatantly lied (such as Osborne and that massive, massive cunt Davis) should hang their heads in shame for misleading those who believed them

I used to work in his constituency and can concur he's massive cunt 

Even a lot of the locals don't like him, but its a Tory stronghold so they keep on voting for him

You vote for the party not the individual apparently.

makes you wonder why candidates even bother talking about themselves.

Just send out a red/blue/yellow/rainbow robot and keep personalities out of politics.

Apparently.
