Re: Brexit
 
I see that Nigel Farage has handed a letter to Theresa May asking for his party to be involved in negotiations and for there to be WTO Brexit.
Wonder if this stunt was devised in anticipation of his party winning Peterborough?

Take your choice on how old the Brexit Party is.

The Brexiter's Bible, the Daily Express, on 8th February quotes Farage as saying that the party is a live vehicle which can be mobilised if Brexit is delayed

The Brexit Party was registered with the Electoral Commission on 7th February 2019 four months ago.
The logo was added on 4th April.

May have been nearer than Theresa's deal but it's still out of the question/off the table.
Well, don't make the mistake of believing that a 'no deal' will not happen. In my view, it is the most likely of all the options, although they may decide to implement it via a different label!

Your previous prediction of Theresa May coming back with a great deal that we would all be delighted with has not happened, so I am more than happy with your prediction today. ;)

Corbyn thinks winning this recent seat puts him in line for running the country... I nearly spit my drink out at the stupidity

Nor do I. On holiday in Mauritius where the official languish is English, the spoken language is French, they drive on the left and the policemen are thin as pencils.

They’re all (not the policemen) asking me about Brexit

I did indeed say that I firmly believed that Theresa May would be able to secure a deal with the EU when the negativists on here claimed that we would not get past phase 1 of the talks. Remember that, Andrew?

Well, she got past phase 1 and went on to secure a deal with the EU. It's Parliament, not the EU who have failed to sign it off.

She could have done even better and achieved a very good deal, but she caved. We will see if the next PM can do better.

The only thing a new PM could change would be to make it a softer Brexit with a Customs Union & consequently FoM. The ERG would vote Nay, but chances are Labour would support it and thus have the majority needed.

The EU have already stated the WA is not up for negotiation. A few tweaks will not materially change the backstop arrangements.

I hope that the existential threat to the Tory party will loosen the fervour of Tory Remainers. In any case the guvmin can be crafty and not bring foward any amendable motions for the wedge to be further opened.
