Re: Brexit

I think more than the AG the legal opinion of Nigel Dodds and the ERG appointed lawyers to consider it will carry more weight.

If 116 more MPs vote for this than the last deal it’ll show them up as the spineless clueless shower many suspected them to be. Two more months of uncertainty for business, Parliamentary and civil service time wasted to achieve nothing.

The ERG should be renamed to ‘Moggmentum" - they are exactly the same as Momentum, only in the Right Wing.

Fair enough & fair comment.

Re: Brexit

It's the only 'brexit', you're going to get folks and probably the best we can get. Considerably worse than our current deal, and not brexit at all. But might be enough to give the nutters a climb down. What's laughable is absolutely nothing has changed. Aren't politicians a laugh !

Re: Brexit

Quote:
The first is a "joint legally binding instrument" on the withdrawal agreement which the UK could use to start a "formal dispute" against the EU if it tried to keep the UK tied into the backstop indefinitely.
The other is a joint statement about the UK and EU's future relationship which commits to replacing the backstop with an alternative by December 2020.
So how is this any different to before? If it is so cut and dried that the backstop is only temporary, why the need for a possible "formal dispute"? If the result of the "formal dispute" goes against the UK, which it probably will, then the backstop becomes permanent.

Re: Brexit

You’ve got to hand it to Theresa May putting her deal up three times to get voted on.

Re: Brexit

Geoffrey Cox, the Attorney General: "the legal risk remains unchanged".

Quote:
However, the legal risk remains unchanged that if through no such demonstrable failure of either party, but simply because of intractable differences, that situation does arise, the United Kingdom would have, at least while the fundamental circumstances remained the same, no internationally lawful means of exiting the Protocol’s arrangements, save by agreement.

Re: Brexit

I see the digs and counter digs have happened and it's the same people. Time outs issued yet again:

You will be suspended from any posting for 1 day (first time), then 3 days, then a week.
Should you not learn after 3 timeouts, a fourth time will see you banned from Cable Forum.

Note: This applies across the forum, not just this topic.

Re: Brexit

DUP statement in approx five minutes, but, so far from their previous comments it's not looking good.

Re: Brexit

Gavin Esler summed up the new "deal".

Quote:
You know that car I sold you that won’t start?

Yes.

I’ve polished it.
And a International Law lawyer posted this
Quote:
Let this be put in plain terms.

You cannot have a "unilateral" interpretation of a bilateral text.

It makes no sense. It is meaningless. It is illogical. It is oxymoronic. It is moronic.

And it certainly is *not* "legally binding".
Also, the Pound dropped sharply on hearing Cox’s legal device that the legal risk hadn’t changed.

Re: Brexit

ERG voting against, DUP not decided yet.

I think May will lose by 80-100 votes tonight

Meaningful vote 3 already been discussed apparently

Re: Brexit

ERG 'do not recommend' voting for the deal.

Suggestion is they don't quite recommend voting against. Might abstain.
