not true
at all
bilateral trade agreements signed by the UK in its own right, rather than as a member of the EU, contain specific restrictions on state aid.
and membership of the WTO imposes general restrictions on state aid also.
Exception is also made both by WTO and EU for steel production for ships of war.Useless.
The WTO rules explicity allow subsidies as long as they do not confer an unfair benefit on domestic producers.
That’s clearly not the case here. Fuck me, remainers are thick.
I think one obvious cause for ridicule is the juxtaposition of being a (former?) 'remoaner' activist and now working for the Trussite-loon fringe of the far right of the vermin?I don't get it. Are we ridiculing him for being against brexit, for conducting polling, for trying to oust sunak, or just for being young?
Yeah OK, but maybe he's working against Sunak because he personally can't stand the guy. Maybe there's a group of people already organising such opposition that he feels he might be able to contribute to. It doesn't mean he's sympathetic to any wider scheme of theirs, though obviously he might be. I think most importantly, politics at a high level (wherever real power is) is addictive. And actually the only really rebellious thing in parliament just now is the loon far right. There's no kind of rebellion worth talking about on the left anyway. Not in Westminster.I think one obvious cause for ridicule is the juxtaposition of being a (former?) 'remoaner' activist and now working for the Trussite-loon fringe of the far right of the vermin?

It was in inverted commas; I have no dog in that fight, tbhJesus are people still using "remoaner" as an insult? Guys it's fine that you've got an opposing view but that shit was schoolyard cringe when it first became popular, let alone years down the line.
and implementing a hard right wing Brexit. The woman activist in the Guardian article btw is now a journalist at The TimesI think one obvious cause for ridicule is the juxtaposition of being a (former?) 'remoaner' activist and now working for the Trussite-loon fringe of the far right of the vermin?

Well, as one of the lexit faithful, I'm not surprised that Smokeandsteam would use the term, tbh. I think they last paid a visit to this thread to tell us all how brexit had saved the UK steel industry.Smokeandsteam didn't though. I think I must have insulated myself a bit too successfully from some of the more childish end of that argument because I've not seen it in a while.
Really? I'd have thought that many would see incumbent Sunak as quite an LP asset?I wish him all the luck. Godspeed
Possible. Or people could be further persuaded to boot them out if they descend into yet another leadership fight.Really? I'd have thought that many would see incumbent Sunak as quite an LP asset?

I try to keep off this thread because it’s full of bad faith remoaners…
A thank you to Brexiteers.

And you can double down if you like I guess, it just makes you look like a bit of a prat.
I thought everyone knew millbank was a large prison before it was where political parties were based. Fenian prisoners were held there in the 1860sPerhaps Millbank was named after where they were conceived
Perhaps also remove the word “Brexshit” for consistency
