The chief executive of Airbus has said the future of its British wing plants is "secure" and there is "great potential to expand" post Brexit.

The aerospace giant had warned it could move wing-building out of the UK in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

Airbus employs 13,500 people in the UK, including 6,000 at its site in Broughton, Flintshire.

On Wednesday, Guillaume Faury said the fact MPs had backed Boris Johnson's Brexit deal made things more "certain".

Can you read Walnut

They'll say the same end of 2020 when no deal is back on the table unless Johnson asks for an extension

More important politics



I hope the belfry floor collapses and the ring of bells falls on their fat warbastard heads

[imitationleather]

So many people in this country and completely and utterly crazy.

[Johnny Yesno]

So many people in this country are complete bells.

[Fambo Number Mive]

By the powers that be do they mean vicars? You can't just go into your local church and start ringing the bells.

The implication that leaving the EU is like defeating a fascist government that murdered millions is astonishing.

[BlodwynPig]

The powers that be are themselves surely?

If we dont like it, we'll do it anyway.

[idunnosomename]

Actually a lot of churches the bellropes are on the ground floor. You can just pull on the ropes and the bells will peal.  But you are pretty much broadcasting to the village you are being a dick. With taller towers there is a bellringing chamber under the belfry which of course is kept locked.

What you can use the bells to commemorate ought to go through the Parish Church Council (of which the priest in charge is a part). Democracy eh.

[idunnosomename]

And doing a proper peal of bells (bum ba bum bum bum ba bum bum) is not easy and you need to be a group who knows what the fuck youre doing

What a perfect image for post-Brexit Britain. Discordant and aggressive bells ringing up and down the land

[Hey, Punk!]

I've had a complete rethink after this historic Tory victory. There are probably people who will disagree, but the fact that 50 of the 52 Labour seats we lost were leave seats shows that Brexit may have been the deciding factor, not in our loss, but in losing so thoroughly. I think that our smug attitude towards Brexit voters (that I partook in myself), has had disastrous consequences. Not talking about CaB here specifically, but middle-class lefty remainers in general.

I personally think that Brexit was a bit of nonsense because we live in a thoroughly neoliberal world and we'd just be transfering power from Brussels to Westminster, but I do think this was a revolt that we should have attempted to understand. A result of alienation is not necessarily knowing why you're in the position you are.

They should have respected the referendum results, otherwise they look like people who only support democracy when it works in their favour which, while true for pretty much everyone, isn't something you want people to know. At this point though, I honestly have no idea what to do, if Starmer of Phillips become leader of the Labour party I'm leaving it.

[Hey, Punk!]

Not middle-class myself (from Dudley ar yam), but I've definitely picked up a bit of that smug arsey left-lib mentality (which helps me get on swimmingly with my fellow students).

Today i have mostly been singing that Crass song that begins 'if there was no government, wouldn't there be chaos' in the folk music style until it sounded very similar to 'ten green bottles'

Was it? I thought it was obvious to anyone who agreed with Corbyn's idea that it shouldn't be the 48% against the 52% but the 99% against the 1%.

Fair point. They won't be around to see it though.

I'm looking forward to all my Farage loving relatives having a meltdown when they hear we're starting the actual negotiations with the EU and it stops them from celebrating Are Freedom from the Foreigners.

[phantom_power]

Not sure where to put this but #jamesobrianisawanker is trending on Twitter. I thought it would be from Labour supporters pissed off with his anti-Cobyn stance and general #FBPE twattiness but from what I can see it is a load of Brexiteer twats getting their knickers in a twist

[idunnosomename]

In lieu of any actual positive events, patriotic brits have resorted to gloating via abuse of formerly blazing remainers and plans to ring a lot of bells while bellowing about freedom from the kleptocratic eu

[imitationleather]

Absolutely nowt will happen when we leave at the end of the month and so we're going to be subjected to yet more gloating from twats who either are unaware or are purposefully ignoring that the actual shit isn't going down until next January.

[Hey, Punk!]

Of course, but respecting the referendum result was to me an essential part of any party that actually wanted to be elected. Losing seats that have been Labour for a century should be a real kick up the arse. Blaming the press can only go so far, as the anti-Corbyn rhetoric was just as fierce in 2017 and Labour gained seats.

The main difference was capitulating to the People's Vote nonsense. Remember that Corbyn and Denis Skinner have been fiercely anti-EU almost their entire political career.

[Hey, Punk!]

I'm convinced that Paulie is just a pseudonym of another (actually pro-Corbyn/Labour) poster here, who would actually spend so much time on this forum?
