Cable Forum - Brexit (Old)

Sam Coates from Times just said a Souce just claimed No. 10 expecting Gove to resign tonight.

Also just now Penny Mordaunt just arrived in Number 10.

Not me. A new PM at most - the Conservatives do not want to call an election at this volatile time.

Re: Brexit

No way there'll be a GE or another referendum. The EU say no renegotiation of May's doomed plan so it's proper Brexit. Which is what the people voted for. For better or worse.

They reckon that there is not sufficient support in the Commons for a no-deal Brexit. They also reckon that there is no support for the best deal we can get from Brussels.

So it seems to me that if both are voted down, we have no agreement in the Commons for either Brexit we can get. So all TM has to do is sit back and do nothing more on this. We will drop out of the EU automatically on 29 March, so we will be in a no-deal Brexit.

So if that is the actual choice that is put to Parliament, MPs will have to vote for the deal, or we are out without one. It really is as simple as that. It has been made clear to us by the EU negotiators that this is as far as they are prepared to go.

Sky Data Survey

In terms of who they would prefer to lead the country through Brexit:
Theresa May - 31%
Jeremy Corbyn - 25%
Jacob Rees-Mogg - 18%
Boris Johnson - 17%
Dominic Raab - 10%

In terms of where they now stand on Brexit:
54% would prefer to remain in the EU
32% would prefer to leave the EU without a deal
14% would prefer a Brexit on the terms negotiated by the government.

Regarding a referendum on these three options:
55% - support a referendum
35% - oppose a referendum
10% - don't know

Sky Data interviewed a nationally representative sample of 1,488 Sky customers via SMS on 15 November 2018. Data are weighted to the profile of the population.

I can prove anything with these stats, but the truth.

1,488 sky customers, bear in mind about 65,000,000 live in the UK so those stats are crap.

As TM there will NOT be a 2nd referendum.

This is the bottom line, there is no third way.

It’s either this deal, or no deal. I’m not sure what people expected.......

1488 is approx 0.0032% of those that voted in the referendum. I don’t care how it was weighted, it is not representative.

It's too late for that now we can't go back on the same terms we left on. I see no deal as the only option to stop us from getting shafted

I actually think May's plan will happen. There's no united hard leave side, just a bunch of ego-heavy personalities without a plan.
