Luke was being a pillock. There was only one candidate for the 'EU election'. Even then she only scrapped home by a few votes. It's a travesty of Democracy and yet another example of the undemocratic way the EU works. Seriously, do you think the way she got the job was democratic? what was that Nobby. scraped in by a few (I guess undemocratic votes)
So if she was rejected by the MEPs she still would have got the job
She only received a majority of nine votes, 383-327. She had to get 374 to win. That is not very impressive when you consider there was NO OTHER CANDIDATE ! Plus, it was a secret ballot. Who voted for and against her will not be revealed. Secret ballots, one candidate........holy crap, even Mugabe didn't do that ! The MEP's had others they wanted, but they didn't even get on the ballot paper.

What is it, 160,000 members, most of them well over 50, deciding for the 65M whilst down their Gin & Tonic and speculate how great we used to be. Yes, democracy in action.

news.sky.com/story/uk-faces-recession-in-event-of-no-deal-brexit-obr-warns-11765492More project snowflake fake fear news. When will they publish the truth that when we leave on Halloween as is the legal default (and that should definitely be enough despite the last 18 months), we will wake up in the land of hope and glory and warm dead fish and we knew that would happen when we voted anyway and make america great again?

Is that the same recession that should have happened the day after we voted to leave..?

What?? No bananas?? Detailed analysis by the current Government own support group the OBR. A £11 billion positive government income benefit, a £40 billion income hit, if we go for no deal. But hey, let's rant about kippers and ice packs, or let leavers get off on Trump's insanity.

Which part of the report do you disagree with? Just saying we were being told all this prior to the referendum, and what came of it? Nothing, now we're being told exactly the same again.

Nothing, now we're being told exactly the same again. think you may be forgetting that we haven't left with no deal yet. However even if you looked at the value of the pound since the vote (choose your range - 18, 12, 6, 3 months) you might gain a little insight from its performance. Strikes me you probably didnt read the article in much detail.

OBR chairman Robert Chote "we can't guarantee our forecasts will be accurate" . He was right on that, the OBR forecasts have been terrible for years ! He is also married to Sharon White, head of OFCOM who worked for Tony Blair, that is the same Ofcom who allow the BBC to run anti Brexit stories every day and could someone show me a BBC pro Brexit article Please ?

He was honest enough to concede that it cannot be 100%. But in giving an appraisal of a £11Billion benefit from no deal, but a £40Billion deficit, they give a very detailed analysis of how they came to those numbers. Show me the Leavers analysis.

As far as I understand it,they tried to strike a balance between the positive aspects and the negative. Who should we believe is more plausible, an economist who shows the methodology and is honest to say it could be within a range or a politician who says trust me, it will be fine and no downsides? Don't forget, even the boy who called wolf was right in the end.

The proof will be in the pudding. £Sterling is more than 25% down from pre referendum levels, and sinking as the markets start to price in a no deal scenario. Strike One.

Nope, and nor should we dismiss them either because it doesn't support a preferred view.

Unemployment at record low despite Treasury's pre-referendum warning of 500,000 job losses
The latest figures from the Office for National Statistics show employment in the three months to January was its joint highest ever rate of 75.3%, while the jobless total stood at 4.3%.
That brought the overall number of people in work to 32.25m, up more than 400,000 on the same period in 2016-17.
"AHEM" COUGH-COUGH!!!!
‘DIY RECESSION’
Today’s figures are a boost for eurosceptics who criticised the Government’s pessimistic pre-referendum forecasts about the effect of a vote to leave the EU.
In the run-up for the June 2016 vote, Treasury analysis claimed the UK could suffer a recession worth "around 3.6%" of GDP and the loss of 500,000 jobs in the two years after the referendum.
The estimate was based on a "shock scenario" using what the department called "cautious assumptions" about the UK negotiating a bilateral trade deal with Brussels.
Then chancellor George Osborne claimed the UK risked an immediate “DIY recession” if there was a vote to leave the EU, while David Cameron said it would “cost at least half a million jobs”.
