[Politics] Brexit

[Westdene Seagull]

I believe they voted to keep every option on the table.

They did - and that is entirely different to TB's claim that the Labour conference voted to leave.

You really need to stop taking Twitter as gospel truth. I'll stick to the figures on the Parliament wensite thank you that are audited ..... rather than some random post on Twitter.

As I said your figures go back to April. I have never used Twitter as gospel truth but those tweets are from Labour party members. Suit yourself whether you read them or not.

When I said current WTO tariffs I meant the current EU ones. There is a transition period of two years. Now whether that happens on a no deal, I don't think it set. At the moment I woulde imagine you would say no. But push comes to shove, well, as you agree imports/exports are not going to stop.

I can see as an emergency message that we could use our current (EU) tariffs for as period in the event of a no deal.

I honestly see us leaving the EU on 29th March regardless, and regardless of a deal or no deal, I don't think much will change for a few years.

It has been set and we only get the transition period (21 months) with an EU deal. (That's not just me saying no, that's the EU and our government). With 'no deal', we are out on 29th March 2019, no transition, extension, implementation or whatever else the government or anyone else wants to call it.

I think you are now starting to understand why I am so confident there will not be a 'no deal' on 29th March 2019. We could use our EU tariffs for a period as long as we extend our membership of the EU accordingly. Other members of the WTO negotiated those tariffs in order to trade with one of the biggest trading blocs in the world, and certainly wouldn't entertain them for Britain standing alone.

And, for all the reasons I have outlined, if we were to leave with 'no deal' on 29th March 2019 there would be massive change within hours.

From your link, I found (I think) 5 tweets suggesting labour members 'leaving in droves' during November. 5. The third of which was tweeted by someone who tags himself with 'DFLA' & 'IAMTOMMY', I suspect he, for one, is not a Labour party member. Think you're best backing down on this one.

Fair comment. I have seen lots of comments by Labour party members who are worried about Corbyn and McDonnell because those two are very much for Brexit.

I see this fiction repeated time after time. Corbyn campaigned for Remain and voted for Remain. McDonnell did the same. In fact JM reitterarated only two days ago on LBC that if there was a second referendum he would vote remain again. I realise that this fantasy about them serves some purpose but it is neither in line with their words or their actions. And I speak as a disappointed Socialist who would have liked a left wing exit.

I just did a search for labour leaving droves. As I said Twitter is not gospel truth but it is a collection of opinions just like Nsc.

Can someone remind me which PPF or Ppf is the parody? It is impossible to tell on posts alone.

I don't think it really matters, they are both equally entertaining

You can believe it as fiction if you want but Corbyn is most definitely for Brexit.

If Moggy gets in, not too sure he would be over keen on extending A50.

Which end of the A50 Warrington or Leicester, he might change his mind if there are a few votes in doing so
