I agree we need to debate the B word.

IMHO the best biscuits are Border's Dark Chocolate Gingers but I am sure others willl disagree with me. Biscuits can be such an emotive issue
You're a traitor.
Chocolate Hobnobs is the only way to go.

I do indeed disagree with you, Mrs Blythburgh. But your preference makes no difference to me, and I can still enjoy my choice of biscuit without interference. The Leavers would insist that we all have the same variety.

And the Remainers will ask you which one you want and then say you can't have it.

Labour set to give all foreign nationals living in UK right to vote in general elections for first time.

Party to promise to massively extend voting franchise in move that could have major impact on future of Brexit

Jeremy Corbyn's policy on Brexit has triumphed at Labour conference, as members endorsed his stance to stay neutral while negotiating a new deal.

The party voted against a motion which would have seen Labour backing Remain in any future referendum.

I just have this feeling they are going to take a drubbing at the next election. Squeezed by The LD's as the party of remain and depending whether Boris has us out or not by the 31st October by the Conservatives if he has and by the Conservatives and Brexit Party if he has not.

Great news, they are living and working here and contributing to the Country and Public Purse. A sensible move.

It will only have an impact on Brexit if Labour is elected and there is a future referendum. I really cannot see that happening.

So their policy is to continue not having a policy.

It would appears so by a show of hands at conference. A more formal count was refused even though some people dispute there was a majority in favour.
