Re: Brexit
 
My MP voted Yea. He is in cabinet so that could be expected. But he is a remainer and our area is also strongly remain so it would be understandable if he voted nay as he does take representing us seriously.

He is also a sussed fellah so if he believed the deal to be the best way forward he would have voted that way.

Well we had that lorry car park practice thing & we've got a ferry company that can deliver chow mein. What more do you want ?

I think whichever way it finally goes the damage is done. The country is divided and will be for quite a while yet.

I think cracks are showing in the EU utopia, and in the present (and probably forthcoming) world economic fluctuations it's hard to guess if the cracks will heal or grow larger.

Personally I'd still like a clean break 'no deal' rather than a cobbled together deal which doesn't really do anything for either side.


P.S. It's raining here . . . should I start stockpiling water? :D

Agree with all of that, except stockpiling rain - we get too much of that.

Germany is heading for a recession, other EU members are experiencing serious economic issues - cracks are bound to appear at this late stage, the leave date, enshrined in to law, is our best negotiating weapon, we can go back to the EU - give us a reasonable deal, if not, then cya later, we're going anyway.

It's not the EU way though, how we are going - they want us to vote again and again and again, that is their utter corruption, they are an anti-democratic bunch of power grabbing cretins.

Not sure what a "sussed fellah" is but this very same MP did "officially" open a new food bank in the city. He feel so strongly in representing us seriously, he is making sure we have enough food banks :)

Seemed quite proud of his party's accomplishment in this area ..

May suffers worst Government Commons defeat in history, there is a no confidence motion vote on her government later on and in PMQ’s right now, Corbyn moves off Brexit quickly and starts rambling about the Adult skills budget and food bank use.

That ain't saying much as they are both utterly useless at a time when this country was crying out for proper decisive strong leadership which has been non existent these past couple of years when we needed it most.

No Surprise there.

Riddle me this.

Labour want a Customs Union, May's deal means if a new equitable customs agreement cannot be agreed we stay indefinitely in the "Customs Union". Why isn't Labour happy about that?

She just stated in PMQ there are three possible outcomes.

Deal, No Deal, Revoke A50
