[Politics] Brexit

She's going to get an absolute kicking from the opposition...







...oh.

Yep....:safeway:

You write very well for a 2 year old.

On a serious note, I bitterly hate them at the best of times but Cameron and May really are scumbags of the highest order. if anyone still really doubts the self interest of Tories, they need examining. I can almost hear the leadership campaigns of Raab, Gove, Johnson etc etc being kickstarted right now...

You're just making names up now.

Now Marcus Mc****waite quits, minister of complete and utter **** ups, even this **** up is too big for him.

Look no further than Jeremy Corbyn for an example of self interest. Despite evidence that the electorate might not want Brexit anymore and despite most in his own party supporting one, he is flat rejecting a people's vote because it flies in the face of his politics (where barriers and tariffs go up to protect jobs and consequently cost them instead). Absolute tosser.

But why would Labour want to put themselves forward to be part of the biggest f*** up in recent history ?

The three options (soft Brexit, No deal, Remain) were obvious from the outset. I don't believe changing the negotiating team would have changed the EUs position or the outcome other than to give someone else to blame. TM knew it was a poisoned chalice but you can see why she stepped forward. It was her one opportunity to become PM and her ambition overruled her common sense.

What case could there possibly have been for Labour stepping forward to share the blame for a situation created by David Cameron ?

Because May would have presented it as a national emergency, a time for the good of the country that the parties would have to stand together, If Labour refused, they'd have been marked as the unpatriotic party on one hand, and the undemocratic one (denying the Brexit vote) on the other.

I wish Sri Lanka would lose their last few wickets as quickly as the Tories are losing ministers...

Remainers rejoice.

Anne-Marie Trevelyan PPS to the Prime Minister gone.


The resignation letters are flying around like a scene from Harry Potter.

It is incredible that so many Politicians did not see that this sort of deal was all but inevitable from last December, when the agreement that there would be no border in Northern Ireland was made.

Rats, sinking ship and all that - One almost has to admire here dogged stubbornness but like her predecessor, she is so entitled I genuinely think she believes she's doing a great job. It's incredibly sad but fascinating to watch history developing around your ears.

Wrong again. Labour have a clear policy which was decided at conference and doesn’t matter what JC wants

 

[Is it PotG?]

This whole affair is in a bit of a pickle isn't it?

Two years time, I have no idea where we shall be.

Nailed it.

Lot of texting going on in parliament apparently - Penny Mordaunt, Sir Graham Brady, Chief Whip Julian Smith, a piece of paper handed to May by David Liddington - They must be all keenly following The Test Match score.

So on that basis, even though there is nothing in place to extended our EU membership, you say they will do that until things are finalised.

On the same basis then, surely the WTO will let us use our current tariffs as a emergency until things with them are finalised? I don't see a lot of difference between the two scenarios.

The bottom line is, no one will stop importing or exporting from Britain. No one can afford to.

Also i think it is a very very bold claim to say no secret trade talks have began. How would you know this. I speculate that it may be happening, you seem to know 100% that its not. Interesting.

Agree completely that no one will stop importing or exporting from Britain. It would be disaster for both sides. That's why there won't be a 'no deal'.

We can't use our current tariffs with WTO as we don't have any. We currently, as members of the EU, use theirs.

There are no secret trade talks - trust me

I don't think we are going to agree on this, but thanks for the respectful exchange of views.

The usual suspects being the people who wanted Brexit - that are tasked with the job of delivering it, that have realised they are on the political Titanic, are the ones that are in a frenzy? Lets face it DR, even someone as ignorant as you can see this is a shitshow.

I think monumental **** up better describes it.

Or placing their sandwich order.
