How are you remoaners explaining this?

Remoaners?

Yes down to poor sales.

Certainly looks likely now.

Is there a 3-line whip for the Labour Party tonight, or is this a free vote ?

Some, like Caroline Flint (and 30 odd others) seemed to imply last week they would be voting for it.

Are you trying to suggest the Labour Party has unity within, and control over, it's MP's?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Yes down to poor sales.

Of course it is. The country is collapsing around your ears and nothing, absolutely nothing, is down to Brexit.

All these redundancies are down to the EU and falling car sales across the EU, because no other sector in manufacturing seems to be suffering like car manufacturing is at the moment.

I still think the ERG will end up backing this.

Whatever transpires, this has been an epic cock-up of Pythonesque proportions. I have seen colleagues at work fall out over this (some of our well-respected -or so I thought - European workers, were visibly hurt/upset/angry at the gloating of the Leave camp), I myself have blocked (and been blocked) by so-called friends on social media.
Yet, here we are, still none the wiser (if we ever were) and still at each other's throats.
This referendum was akin to chucking a loaded pistol inbetween two infants and waiting to see what happened.
I just think it's all so, so sad.

Should have never contemplated Brexit without a super majority similar to what took us into the EEC in this first place. Trying to take us out on such a slim majority was never going to go well.

The thing I fear most is the break up of the Union, the wishes of the individual countries have not been respected.

The People's Republic of West Sussex does have a certain ring to it.

We'll swap you the tiny village of Falmer for Gatwick Airport....










...and it's nearest town.

Would £1.2 trillion also be leaving the UK if Brexit wasn't happening?

Not if it was ring fenced first...







...sorry wrong thread, as you were.

 

[Triggaaar]

Fair enough. Not sure using he term "remoaner" is the best way to go about that though. It comes across as favouring one (of the two extreme) side and thus contributes to the very thing you are trying to mitigates against in bold above.

Understood. There are plenty of silly posts from the leavers in this thread of course, but in my opinion they're eclipsed by the volume and derision of the remainers, so those are the opinions I challenge. I don't agree with many of the things posted by the leavers, but as soon as I see something daft posted by one of them, I also see several replies from the remainers, so I don't really need to add more.

I Don't - but even if they do, the DUP certainly won't, and without them, it won't go through.

(Unless the 30 odd Labour MPs who said they would back the deal do so......)

 

[Stat Brother]

Guto Bebb Tory MP (no me neither) just spoke with some rational sense on BBC News

 

[Eeyore]

This deal, no deal, or no exit. And the second will be off the table later.

5/2 is still available about No Brexit.

The only reason that has happened is due to the uncertainty and general negativity created by our own remainer politicians and the EU who have all been determined to delay Brexit from day one.

Oh please.
The uncertainty stems from the ERG and DUP not knowing what they want, while allowing an incompetent government to shuffle on in the most clueless fashion possible.

Agreed. Add an opportunistic opposition. There you have a gourmet dog's dinner.

The only reason? You really do talk some utter shite at times.

Isn’t it about time you told us about your Italian family again?
