Once again the pro remain parties show a huge percentage rise in their votes and in a Leave voting area too. And unlike most by-elections you cannot blame low voter turnout. The biggest by-election turnout since 1947AAAlphaThunder wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02 2019 7:42amLib Dems - didn't they do well.

Leave Alliance: too busy fighting each other.
ResultRemain Alliance: working hand-in-hand - be it that they do not field a candidate to maximise success.
Sometimes one must concede to win. In the process you have changed the mathematics in your favour.
You're aware of course that the UK government has been paying British Steel's bills since May this year.Boro Boy wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01 2019 11:25pmWrong: the Minister at the time specifically highlighted that EU regulations which stopped the UK Government from giving financial support.pabenny wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01 2019 1:47pmAs I callously said, those jobs have gone and won't be coming back whether we are in the EU or not.
Meanwhile, we have thousands more jobs gone or under threat as a result of Brexit - especially no deal Brexit. And the Leavers don't care; nor can they give any examples of businesses who will be creating jobs in the UK as a result of Brexit.
Actual job loss not possible job loss.
Doesn't alter the fact that the membership of the EU and abiding by their regulations were a major contributing factor to the destruction of British Steel: https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/tees ... t-16148902Chadwick wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02 2019 9:58pmYou're aware of course that the UK government has been paying British Steel's bills since May this year.Boro Boy wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01 2019 11:25pmWrong: the Minister at the time specifically highlighted that EU regulations which stopped the UK Government from giving financial support.pabenny wrote: ↑Thu Aug 01 2019 1:47pmAs I callously said, those jobs have gone and won't be coming back whether we are in the EU or not.

And that the UK's Conservative government itself is very much against subsidising industries, preferring to let the market be the dominant force.

Yes, but in a very vote leave area we were campaigning on a remain ticket yet enough of the voters decided to go for us. Many Labour voters did this which is why their only just kept their deposit. Says a lot about people changing wanting a People's Vote when you vote tactically for a Remain Party.gle1975 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02 2019 2:12pmThe Leave Alliance won - UKIP + Conservative + Brexit Party!blythburgh wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02 2019 9:20amOnce again the pro remain parties show a huge percentage rise in their votes and in a Leave voting area too.

I think you referenced the wrong article. This one doesn't say that EU membership caused or contributed to the loss of 10,000 jobs.Boro Boy wrote: ↑Fri Aug 02 2019 11:36pmDoesn't alter the fact that the membership of the EU and abiding by their regulations were a major contributing factor to the destruction of British Steel: https://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/tees ... t-16148902
