It can cost up to 3 k per birth in many EU countries. Poland is 2k at the moment. Other eastern europoean are similar. A polish acquaintance has had 3 children here in 5 years for that reason saving 6 k

So because you know a working class person who voted remain, means the Labour party hasn't a lot of it's working class votes?

70% of Labour core voters voted to remain.

 

[Jolemai]

63-65%.

5% of UKIP supporters were clearly confused!

I'm just amazed 95% of them appear to be able to read.

They used to be Labour voters. That is why the 65% is deceptive. Labour had already lost a lot of it's voters to UKIP and they wouldn't be counted as Labour suoporters now.

 

[Kenny]

So, since this is turn everything into a discussion about Labour day, are the 5% of UKIP supporters that forget the whole point of supporting UKIP actually ex-Labour voters who forgot about their new party when they turned up to vote?

 

[Dinowolf]

All these so called results are extrapolated polls.

In other words they are guesses. Even Lord Ashcroft's poll was based on only 12369 people and that is not a very accurate trend based on over 33 million voters.

From the link below.


New Prime Minister Theresa May has made Boris Johnson, the former London mayor who led the Brexit campaign, foreign secretary in her new government.
He replaces Philip Hammond, who becomes chancellor. Ex-Energy Secretary Amber Rudd is home secretary and Eurosceptic David Davis is the Brexit secretary.

Johnson as foreign secretary. The absolute horror.

Mind you, he does deserve some form of cabinet recognition for leading the Brexit campaign and being the figurehead before being stabbed in the back by Gove, but foreign secretary?? Good Lord.

 

[thehistorymakers]

David Davis minister of Brexit and Hammond the Chancellor.

 

[Dinowolf]

All this is being discussed on the Teresa May thread.

From the link below.

A survey by ComRes for the Sunday Mirror and Independent newspapers found that 57 percent of those asked didn't support a second referendum on Brexit against 29 percent who did.

A total of 46 percent thought May should not call an election while 38 percent thought she should go to the country to get support for her program to take Britain out of the bloc it joined in 1973.

Jeremy Clarkson's review of the Brexiteers favourite car, the Wolseley 1500, in the times today is very funny. Well worth a read.
