Quite enjoyable and more entertaining than all this project fear mk3 bull.

Re: Brexit
 

l am just posting it pip as this is the thread for Brexit and no doubt many posters on here will debate and discuss the merits of it and no doubt will disagree as usual.;)

Re: Brexit
 

It's clear we are going to slip off the cliff into a pile of bullshit ;)

Re: Brexit
 

As I’ve been predicting for weeks now. They are moving the language along inch by inch testing the public reaction. We’ve got “no Brexit at all” and Labour (the McDonnell side, not just the Starmer side) have inched to 2nd referendum if no General Election, something they weren’t so clear about just six weeks ago.

McDonnell is even clear: no deal should not be an option in said referendum. I wonder where the conversation will be in another six weeks.

Re: Brexit
 

Wait until the real blame game starts as then it will all out civil war in both parties.

Re: Brexit
 

Labour now trotting out a half hearted line that J McD didn’t really mean what he said. So we haven’t shifted policy. Honest.;)

Simultaneously allowing them to admit and deny a policy shift if it’s convenient. Exactly the same strategy as “no Brexit at all”. Trotted out often enough without much reaction, until it becomes an accepted line.

I’m unsure how the blame game will work. Literally none of them wants this situation.

Re: Brexit
 

It’s going to be interesting. If Labour get behind a second referendum they might get it.

However with May’s deal that’s it for both sides. Do Leavers bank leaving the EU but with closer ties than they would like? Do Remainers bank this deal because it’s not as bad as no deal?

Or do both sides vote it down to gamble on getting no deal or full Remain?

Re: Brexit
 

May's plan will not go through... than what happens who knows.... when the last person to leave please switch of the lights.

Re: Brexit
 

As much as I’d benefit financially from the turmoil, I sincerely hope it doesn’t come to no deal.

Re: Brexit
 

They'll no doubt disagree with the project fear headlines you chose to post rather than on the content of the report.

Re: Brexit
 

They were the only headlines l could quote and post as everything else was in the full report which is there to read for any member on here and then members can form their own rational opinion from the report..

Re: Brexit
 

The worst scenario is assuming we crash out without any contingency. That is quite possible albeit I think unlikely since I think both sides will find some sort of softer impact if worst comes to worse.

Re: Brexit
 

No Damien. The report is a worst case scenario of all the possibilities in the event of no deal.

It is not what no deal will bring but a possibility of what it could bring.

The only thing that is known is that there will be a short term financial hit in the event of a no deal brexit.
Anything else is based on supposition and assumption.

Re: Brexit
 

I said 'without contingency' I.E There are literally no accommodations to soften no deal.

Re: Brexit
 

Think you're just trying to convince yourself mate,... The effects of Brexit will last for generations, not too late to turn back but it would involve some admitting they were wrong, so it probably won't happen.
