And if you want “knocking out” of this discussion, carry on with the pathetic petty insults.

Not at all shame on me. Shame on the MPs trying to stop Brexit. As to that anti-semite Corbyn .....

MPs aren’t trying to stop Brexit, they’re trying to ensure we leave with a deal, which isn’t the same thing.

There's always going to be opposition to anything - there's consensus on leaving with a deal. Indeed - it was the ERG and DUP that killed off May's deal. Not MPs as a whole.

What a difference 3.5 years makes. Not only has Wright Bus laid off all its staff but the reality of the Irish border can no longer be escaped.

Boris Johnson has said he does not believe the Irish border would be affected if the UK left the European Union.
The mayor of London was in Northern Ireland on Monday just 48 hours after Prime Minister David Cameron's visit.
Mr Johnson announced a £62m order for County Antrim firm Wrightbus.

That's just the cover story. Of course they want to stop Brexit.

Boris may bring back a deal from Europe, but the opposition parties will still vote against it, whatever it says.

Oh Dear! They have rejected the only deal that the EU says it will accept and thus know full well that any other deal is unlikely. Their sham policy is merely a foil to get No Brexit.

If you can't see that then you're either kidding yourself or .....

It's hardly a cover story. It's a statement of fact. The Benn Act doesn't stop Brexit, nor could it, if they wanted to stop Brexit surely they'd vote to revoke?

Anyone hoping that the US will come to our rescue post-Brexit, needs to review how badly the US is treating us now.
The US woman involved in a car crash here that killed teenager Harry Dunn recently left the UK claiming diplomatic immunity.

It can only deliver No Brexit if people vote for that in a second referendum or a General Election. We're some distance from there.

I repeat the fact that May's deal went down because of the ERG and the DUP. Had they voted for it we'd have left on March 29.

Exactly. They're now trying to revise the historical narrative so it excuses all the disloyal Conservative and DUP MPs who would not support Theresa May. They were the Government and the Government was let down badly by its own MPs.

If they had voted with their own Government, Brexit would have happened by now and we'd be discussing a trade deal.

But in the minds of the Remainer MPs, they know that their's is a foil for No Brexit - as well you know.

May's deal was BRINO and unacceptable to everyone in the UK.

May's deal got the support of the vast vast majority of her party in Parliament. It's only the extreme end of the Brexit wing of the party that didn't vote for it.

Despite being BRINO as you put it, none of these so called remainers supported it.

I am surprised the race to the bottom has started so early:

https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/brexit...eld-eu-brexit/

Quote:

BORIS Johnson has scrapped a promise to the EU that Britain will abide by “level-playing -field standards” after Brexit.

Ex-PM Theresa May had agreed with Brussels that the UK would stick to similar rules in areas such as competition and state aid plus workplace and environmental protections.
Granted it is the Sun but this seems credible ..
