The trouble with JC is he just cannot back May because she is a tory.

Re: Brexit
 

Do you mean the Enabling Act, which was enacted by the Reichstag where non-Nazi members were surrounded and threatened by members of Sturmabteilung and the SS, and the Communists and some Social Democrats were not allowed to be present or to vote?

Democratic vote?

Re: Brexit
 

Corbyn doesn't want to back Brexit and alienate Remainers or get the blame if it goes wrong. He doesn't want to overturn Brexit and deal with the backlash of Leavers, and ideologically he supports it anyway. He wants it to all go wrong and the Tories get the blame so he wins an election.

JC and TM should job swap until April.

Re: Brexit
 

Ha ha. They both probably secretly wish they could! Often, what people don't say is more informative than what they do say.
How many times has Theresa May said her deal is better than no deal? Quite a few.
But, how many times has May said her deal is better than no Brexit? Never.
No further questions milord.

We would end up a 3rd world country within a matter of weeks no thanks

Re: Brexit
 

But JC may be unable to implement Brexit either. ;)

Exciting times, we are living through a key part of British history.

Wish I was watching from a position of retirement, no mortgage and an index-linked pension though! Hey, ho back to the grind in a few hours...

Re: Brexit
 

I’m bizarrely coming round to Theresa May’s deal. It’s not really Brexit, keeps us economically tied to the EU and for the xenophobes it ends freedom of movement.

While nobody thinks it’s great it gives everyone something. Probably just enough to end Brexit debates going forward and put a line under it. Remaining, extensions or leaving with no deal will keep the issue rumbling on for years.

Being “stuck in the backstop” keeps us in the customs union without paying into the EU which bizarrely is the best of both worlds if we accept that favourable the trade deals are unlikely.

Re: Brexit
 

I can see the point you make but there are two problems with your logic:

1. this validates the decades of right wing media anti-EU propaganda and xenophobia that underwrote the 2016 result.
2. this deal is forcing a future on a generation that overwhelmingly does not want it. Moreover, now the actual deal is known, they are denied a voice in approving (or denying) it.
