She's just fobbing then off with the amendments, as a leadership challenge had to mounted before tomorrow if its to be done before the summer recess. She's a canny old bird TM, I'll give her that. The EU will throw out these amendments anyway.

Don't you find it scary that it's still only a few months to Brexit, and the 'Governing' party still hasn't haven't agreed with itself let alone the EU ?

The Remain camp cheated as well.

Do you think I was happy with U.S President Barack Obama at the time, interfering and threatening people to vote remain ?

No I was not - despite ALL this and the other Bullshit going on, on BOTH sides, one side clearly won - you cannot invalidate the result because you feel aggrieved your side did not win when both campaigns centered on the same rules, despite the BS claims today that Leave camp over spent - Remain camp still spent far more and got added bonuses on top of this, the government leaflet and Obama's push, to try push people to vote Remain - but people were smart enough to make up their own minds.

If the EU reject the amendments it's a no deal Brexit. Suits me. We need to leave that absolutely disgustingly corrupt EU with a certain President Juncker who turns up to important meetings, pissed as a fart.

I was against that leaflet too yes was wrong for tax payer to pay for that we agree totally

he did that because idiot David Cameron asked him too and that probably made sure leave won in end

parliament will not let that happen no matter what JRM wants as WTO rules mean got to be hard border with Ireland and Northern Ireland then between Spain and Gibraltar DUP will never allow hard border with Ireland and end of peace processes totally

Ooff have you had a meeting with Juncker Mick ?

Hate to disappoint but 'no deal' is not and never has been an option.
May admitted as much at the weekend when asked what extra staff were being recruited or holding areas in ports had been in case of no deal - there hasn't been any.
Our position becomes weaker all the time because of the Govt's indecision; the EU hold all the cards. We'll have to get a deal, but it's increasingly looking like we'll be forced into a bad one. 'No deal is better than a bad deal' was utter baloney.

Re: Brexit Discussion (New thread-Follow First Post Rules!)

I think the most likely scenario is that we provisionally agree to do a deal and then use the transition period to actually work out what that is. The UK isn't set up for a hard Brexit.

Well unless the MPs act by tomorrow they're going to have to wait till the autumn. She's played them very well with her 'concessions'. Gone up in my estimation as a survivor I must admit.

Isn't that a complete oxymoron ? Agree a deal, just work out what it is later Seems about right for these negotiations.

But is it a red, white and blue trade deal? Common sense states that, as a market of 65 million customers we are going to get a better than a market of 508 million does

Re: Brexit Discussion (New thread-Follow First Post Rules!)

John Major with some harsh blunt words about the Brexiteers in his party.

https://www.theguardian.com/politics...-politics-live

Quote:
Sir John Major, the Conservative former prime minister, has told ITV News that the Tory Brexiters are “more committed and hardline” than the Eurosceptics who disrupted his government in the 1990s.
Quote:
In other words, without using the same language, he is telling Theresa May that her *******s are worse than his *******s.

Changing the words slightly from the great Oliver Hardy famous catch phrase " Well, here's another fine mess we have gotten into"

It looks like parliament have voted to stay in the European Medicines Agency. Great news for continued rapid drug access and the pharmaceutical industry (big sigh of relief where I work too!)
