I reckon May's got 'em by the short n' curlies.

Even more so now she's got that total waste of skin Chris Grayling saying the Conservatives need leadership.

Theresa knows that. The UK Parliament might yet blink.

I'm thinking of Chalkie,the old school master, in the Giles cartoons.

Farage Launches Brexit Party

Source: The Telegraph

The Brexit Party was launched on Friday. Its mission is to support a clean break from the EU.

Nigel Farage has referred to the Brexit mess as a "national humiliation."

Farage:

The fact is, our ruling class no longer believes in Britain. In them, there is a blithe acceptance of managed decline.

I feel differently. We are a great nation and a great people. But we are being held back by weak leadership. The time to change this is now.

We see the next few weeks as the beginning of a fightback against an establishment that has wilfully betrayed our trust.

This is the most ambitious project I have ever launched in my life. If, as I believe, the people want to change politics for good, I am going to give them the opportunity to make that happen.

Along with the party announcement came the introduction of some Brexit Party candidates -- including Annunziata Rees-Mogg, the sister of Tory Jacob Rees-Mogg.

Annunziata Rees-Mogg:

Britons must fight back to “rescue” British democracy and show that people have a say in how this country is run. Politicians are not our masters, but do our bidding.

Teacher Dr Alka Sehgal Cuthburt:

Since the referendum, we’ve seen even as an ideal that principle of democracy is so weak it doesn’t even exist any more. Those institutional structures of democracy have been recast away from democratic principles to technocratic boundaries.

If a second Brexit vote is held, why should that vote be upheld if the first one wasn't upheld? Does voting even matter anymore in the UK?

[GT93]

I haven't come across the name "Annunziata" before. It sounds posh.

I think Farage's "national humiliation" is largely correct. Hopefully 2019 will be better than 2018 for Brexit.

Well aware, my friend. Long way to go.

Only reporting the latest. It was rather amazing that the BREXIT Party jumped 15 points in just one week.

There are still five weeks to go but Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn and other party leaders should start worrying as well.

Brexit Party Onward and Upward!

Source: Survation Poll, ConservativeHome Poll, YouGov Poll

Voting for Farage's Brexit Party in EU Parliament
62% of Conservative Party members
40% of Tory Party members

4% of Tory Party members will vote for Change UK, the pro-Remain party

Other polls by Survation and the Mail on Sunday, found that 40% of local councillors will vote Brexit instead of their own party. 75% want May's resignation. 96% believe that May's failure on Brexit has damaged the party.

Tory councillors:

The Conservative Party is dead. It will take a strong leader to dredge it out of the mud. It will be difficult to resolve all the problems that exist and I think it could be the end of the Conservative Party in its current format. Breaking the manifesto pledge has damaged the party beyond repair.

The most recent YouGov poll shows that Brexit Party is at 23% and Change UK Party at 8%.

Britain First is Working for Workers!

Source: Minister of State Report

Before the Brexit vote in 2016, almost half of all jobs in the UK were going to EU migrants. Today, 90% of jobs are going to Brits. Other estimates reported by The Telegraph show that only 5% are going to EU migrants. In addition, UK unemployment has fallen to a 45-year low.

Alok Sharma, Minister of State for Employment:

Since the referendum there have been over one million more people in work in the UK, up to a record 32.7 million in February 2019.

Employers are clearly already adjusting to lower immigration from the EU, and it is UK workers who have filled in the gaps – accounting for around nine in ten of new people in work since 2016, compared to half of the people entering work in the two years before.

However, the good numbers for Brits do not reflect the impact of non-EU migrants.

All of the Cheerleaders for UK Failure were in hysterics over what they predicted would be the destruction of the UK economy if leaving the EU. Instead, the UK has enjoyed a wave of good economic news. The predictions have not come true.

Sharma:

When we leave the EU, and end the freedom of movement of EU workers, far from presenting a challenge to fill vacancies – employers should seize an opportunity… It’s UK workers who have driven this record jobs market, and UK workers who can help maintain it.

Just like in the US, the UK is enjoying a time where the greatest number of people ever in UK history are employed. And just like in the US, the UK has had stronger wage growth at 3.5% -- with earnings outpacing inflation. Two other benefits are that the greatest gains have been for workers on the low end of the pay scale, AND the number of low-end jobs are at their lowest levels in over 20 years.

Sharma:

The UK jobs market continues to go from strength to strength, proving the underlying resilience of the British economy. But we must not take this for granted. We need to work urgently to get behind a Brexit deal that protects this jobs record and gives employers the certainty to continue to invest in their workforce and boost wages.

I have full confidence that the UK will continue to have great economic results once they regain their autonomy and sovereignty and break from the EU.
