Re: Brexit
More unnecessary digs, jibes and arguments removed, timeouts given.

They might try and get some sneaky votes in depending on which MPs head for the slopes

I think they have plans to use the pairing option in any voting [i read that somewhere can't remember where.]

Re: Brexit
Pairing only works when parliamentary business is uncontroversial and both sides of the House ultimately recognise the Executive’s right to govern and to control the business of the legislature.
None of those conditions apply at present. There are too many whip-defying rebels on both sides. I just don’t see how pairing can work, unless they’re limiting business to strictly non-Brexit related items of business.

Re: Brexit
Isn’t it time that the word “turd” be allowed back into this thread? We could match many MPs to the Description.

Re: Brexit
Difficult on the iPad to get the full URL from yesterday’s Torygraph Business Section, which reported:
A group of top German economists has told the EU to tear up the Irish backstop and ditch its ideological demands in Brexit talks, calling instead for a flexible Europe of concentric circles that preserves friendly ties with the UK.
Brussels must “abandon its indivisibility dogma” on the EU’s four freedoms and come up with a creative formula or risk a disastrous showdown with London that could all too easily spin out of control.
A joint report by the influential Ifo Institute and universities across Germany and Europe warned that Brussels may be deluding itself in thinking that the EU has the upper hand in all respects or that the British will inevitably capitulate before March 29.
“In a standard game of chicken, the actor who loses the most will dodge first. Can the EU really be sure that losses are sufficiently asymmetrically distributed that it ‘wins’ this game?” the report asked.
“This is a very dangerous game, both for the UK and for EU. It is wiser to take the threat of a hard Brexit at face value and react accordingly. Recognising that a hard Brexit is in no one’s interest and that it would cause irreparable political as well as economic damage, we call both on the UK government and the EU Commission to rethink their ‘red lines’ and return to the negotiation table,” it said.

Don't suppose you could cut and paste the whole of the Torygraph each day (esp the sport)? I hate pay walls
