Meanwhile, LBC's James O'Brien struggles to get a Brexit supporter to answer a simple question. ;)

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Typical remoaner, wanting answers and trying to bring facts into the debate and yes his vote is worth the same as everyone else's and I for one would be happy to sign a petition calling for Mr O'brien to be charged with treason and after the kangaroos have tried him, hung, it's the only way they'll learn, losers

James O'Brien rarely shuts up long enough for anyone to get a word in. :D

More pressure on the PM.
Tory donor threatens to stop funding over Brexit plans
A major Tory donor has threatened to stop funding the party if Theresa May plans to remove the UK from the "critical" single market after Brexit.
Sir Andrew Cook, who has given more than £1.2m to the party, told BBC Radio 4 that ending single market access was "chronic and dangerous" to the economy.
The engineering firm chairman said at least one of his factories was almost "entirely dependent" on access to it.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

I doubt that represents an awful lot of pressure. It sounds like a lot of money but the Tories are still very good at attracting big donations. They do not have a cash crisis, unlike some other parties.

Our membership of, or level of access to, the single market, will hinge on far greater concerns than this.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

It's not as many donors are going to donate to others either.

Most of the time viability == cash. If you're not viable the only donors are ideologues who donate out of genuine belief in the cause rather than personal interest and there aren't many of the them. At the moment there is little prospect of anyone other than the Conservatives forming the next government.

the headline should be


Another remoaner flounces out in hissy fit over brexit

AHH well door hitting ass on way out and all that .

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

When we leave we will be leaving completely there will be no deal on continuing access to the single market the EU won't allow it and we need to stop kidding ourselves it's an option. Negotiations are going to start off very tough but will soften somewhat later in the process as the EU has to deal with larger problems and people trying to pretend that the UK has nothing or very little to use to get a deal need to look objectively at the EU and the growing number of issues that are threatening the EU.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

The Original Project Fear - of the EU failing - has been done to bits since 1975. Like all institutions it's imperfect but it's going to be around for the forseeable future as France and Germany believe in it.
The two-year timescale reduced by elections is insufficient to allow both disentanglement negotiations and a trade deal to be struck. That's why some sort of transitional arrangement is likely to be agreed.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Indeed. Sir Ivanhoe has legged it just after being knighted (2016) the ungrateful git. Still, his title will adorn the letterhead of some private company earning him oodles more than the miserly £170k he was paid in the Civil Service + the usual expenses. He obviously isn't up to facing down his EU mates.

Sir Ivan could be replaced by Sir Andy, who would be a tough negotiator being a tightarse Scot, or Sir Mo, who will run rings around them with his skinny legs :D.

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

I personally respect the bloke for his openness .The government are being very "muddled" and if he doesn't think he can do the job required he should go ,which is what he has done .Probably a few more that should go now but will cling on to the bitter end

Re: Post-Brexit Thread
 

Theresa Maybe, Britain’s indecisive premier

The Economist nails it. "The growing suspicion is that the Sphinx-like prime minister is guarded about her plans chiefly because she is still struggling to draw them up."

This comparison is interesting too "Yet Mrs May could turn out to resemble another, less obvious predecessor: Gordon Brown. He, too, was thin-skinned. Like her, he moved into Downing Street without an election, in 2007. He also started with a fearsome reputation and big promises. And when it became clear he had little idea what to do with the job he had so coveted, he flopped. The financial crisis paralysed his government because of his desire to micromanage every decision.
There is more than a little of this in Mrs May."

Whether it's true or not that's the conclusion people will come too because of her lack of communication.All i can say is that she'd better have a doozy of a Brexit plan
