Wouldn't that be 'foreigners' interfering with our Parliamentary processes?

Thought you were against that 'sort of thing'?

Looks like the DUP and ERG may well back May's deal. Maybe they've finally seen what's happening.

Only if they live here. If they live abroad, that's fine :)

No it would be foreigners looking after their own interests in their own countries , whats the point in trying to hang onto the UK when it doesn't wan't to be a member anymore.

"During my consultations ahead of #EUCO, I will appeal to the EU27 to be open to a long extension if the UK finds it necessary to rethink its #Brexit strategy and build consensus around it."

did he add. . . "because we could really do with their money for a couple of years until we're sorted" :D

Anyway, talking about foreigners interfering...

Quote:

Speaking to reporters at the White House ahead of his meeting with Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, the US president said he did not think a new Brexit referendum would be "possible" as it would be "unfair to people who have won".

He said the issue of Brexit was a "very complex thing right now, it's tearing a country apart, it's actually tearing a lot of countries apart and it's a shame it has to be that way..."

Mr Trump added. "I'm surprised at how badly it has all gone from a standpoint of negotiations but I gave the prime minister my ideas of how to negotiate it, she didn't listen to that and that's fine but it could have been negotiated in a different manner."

Asked if he thinks the Brexit deadline should be extended, Mr Trump said: "I think they are probably going to have to do something, because right now they are in the midst of a very short period of time, at the end of the month and they are not going to be able to do that."

If only she had listened to The Donald, with his "renowned" negotiating skills, this could have all been a bad dream... :D

They only represent the people that lost in 2016.

Oh WOW! Now both the UK and EU are saying that we will have to hold elections for MEP's, even though they would not be sworn in until July after elections in late May (if we are still in the EU at that time).

And Bravo, they have just voted against any extension.... 85 v 334, a majority of 249. Massive Labour no show.

And now a second vote on an extension! 412 to 202 for an extension. Oh gawd, when will this ever end!?!?

May still in control / if you can call it that.
