Re: Brexit Discussion (Follow First Post Rules!)
You seem quite pleased. Unfortunately, the EU's intransigence, if it continues, will simply lead to a 'no deal'. That means WTO, of course.

So any leavers who are cock-a-hoop at the EU's 'rejection' of the Chequers proposals need to ponder the fact that this just means we are one step closer to that position.

Frankly, if I were TM, I would announce at the Conservative Party Conference that although Britain had put 'the only proposal in town' to the EU, it was clear that they still wanted concessions from us despite the fact that they knew there was no room to maneouvre politically in the UK. Consequently, the UK would now be putting all its energy into preparing for a 'no deal' scenario, but that our negotiators would be on hand to resume negotiations if the EU came up with suitable proposals which the UK government would be able to accept. In the meantime, we would be asking the EU for a Canada-style UK trade deal.

It is clear that a 'no deal' will also hurt the EU. If anything will bring them to their senses, that will. Some EU leaders really think that by holding out, we will change our minds about Brexit. How wrong they are!

If Corbyn can be persuaded or more likely made to change his position on Brexit, after all he is a arch Leaver but still a politician, Labour will win a GE if called.

May is desperate and realises this:

That’s why I’m calling on Labour to rule out a second referendum and not take us back to square one.
Of course TM wants Labour to rule out another referendum. She has enough to contend with, without having to constantly engage in that nonsense.

The public has more sense than to vote a Marxist, terrorist supporting geezer like the current Leader of the Labour Party into power. Most don't want another referendum anyway. The result is likely to be the same as last time, of course.
