Re: After Corbyn
I can honestly say that a man is going to win this.
Unless of course Tory infiltrators vote for RLB.
Have I covered all angles?

Re: After Corbyn
Is it true that the UK would have to vote to give up the rebate? Yes or no?sheldrake wrote: Tue Jan 07, 2020 4:12 pmThe default is no rebate. Unanimity is required to pass a rebate. When you express doubt that the UK would've lost its rebate, you are arguing against the EU Commission itself. I think you are experiencing cognitive dissonance.cvb wrote: Tue Jan 07, 2020 3:54 pmsheldrake wrote: Tue Jan 07, 2020 3:36 pm
Wrong. It is negotiated as part of the MFF every seven years and must be unanimously agreed. We can lose our rebate without our consent and EU commission staff made very clear we would in 2020.From MFFHow is the MFF decided?
The Council has a central role in the MFF legislative process.
Before the ongoing MFF expires, the European Commission makes a proposal for a new MFF regulation.
This is used as a basis for negotiations within the Council, which will ensure that all member states are part of the agreement: unanimity is required to find a deal.
Re: After Corbyn
The UK could refuse to accept the whole MFF, but it doesnt get to vote spwcifically on the rebate.

Re: After Corbyn
No, the UK does not have a unilateral veto on losing its rebate. What it could do is hold up the EU budgeting process until the other members got so annoyed they decided to sanction the UK in other ways. For one thing, without the MFF being passed there would've been no-EU payments coming into the UK either. The direction of travel from statements from other EU members and the outcome of previous negotiations was very clear.

Re: After Corbyn
Sorry to interrupt the pointless troll feeding with some "After Corbyn" stuff, but Starmer is running away with it, according to the bookies now that the runners and riders are pretty much announced.
Starmer is hovering around 4/5, while the next one, BLT, is about 5/2, then our other angry northerner, Nandy around 5/1 ish.

Re: After Corbyn
Looks like This was the statement that worsened Cooper's odds back then (Sep 1st 2015):
Those angry northeners wouldn't like that.Yvette Cooper has urged the UK political class to take greater responsibility for thousands of refugees crossing into Eastern Europe, Greece and Italy, saying Britain had to be true to its values and history by taking up to 10,000 people fleeing the political turmoil in the Middle East.
“Britain has to respond to a humanitarian crisis on a scale we have not seen on our continent since the second world war,” the shadow home secretary said, breaking the apparent political taboo on the UK’s response to the European-wide migration crisis.

Re: After Corbyn
That's great news, especially as they backed Corbyn in 2015.
Interestingly, Prentis stressed the need to actually get into govt as a key reason.

Re: After Corbyn
No it f.cking isn’t. I’m barely in the north, I’m pretty much in border territory in Stockport - south Cheshire is midlands.
In more relevant news I have rejoined the Labour Party.

The people of N Staffordshire would on the whole consider themselves to be northerners. I grew up around there. They would abhor such SERN views, if they had any idea what abhor meant.
