Re: Brexit (New).
I agree. This isn’t a bluff - we have reached the end of the road. There will be no more talking. We either take the deal on offer or walk away.

Indeed . . and if we had decided on a 'no deal' exit a year or so ago we would be in a better position, and much of this tomfoolery and ridiculous political posturing wouldn't have happened.

Re: Brexit (New).
I’m really looking forward to hearing Labour, the SNP, the TIGgers and the Lib Dems squeal. For all their complaints about May’s indecision, their entire strategy has rested on preventing any decisions being taken until a referendum could be secured. Now they have to be seen to back May, or back No Deal, or be spineless abstainers - which will feature heavily on every electoral poster in the north of England come the next election.

Labour clearly have not backed a referendum and I doubt the Liberal Democrats, TIG or the SNP will suffer amongst their own electorates for pushing for one.
As for the electoral consequences well that's now very much going to depend on what happens next. If No Deal is more painful than is being assumed I think a lot of voters will suddenly 'forget' they supported it and blame the current Government, not the opposition.
Personally I think the ERG are handing the keys to No 10 over to Corbyn at a time of big economic disruption.

Re: Brexit (New).
I think Corbyn is the only reason Labour has been unable to say aloud that it wanted another referendum, but I have little doubt that is the direction they have been edging.
I also think the ERG calculates that an act of God Himself couldn’t install Corbyn in No.10 ...

Yup but in the end Corbyn's stalling has paid off. His whole plan has clearly been to resist being caught having a position on this until the very end and forever holding up a mythical, non-existent, perfect deal instead. It's probably worked at least well enough for him to avoid being too badly burned by whatever happens next.

The Spectator pointing out it might not be game over if May's deal fails: https://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2019/0...ong-extension/
Hardly ideal if they want Remainers to back May's deal.

No 10 says Pm is not going to the 1922 tonight - this will tick off quite a lot of backbenchers who want to hear what her real plan is - may be a move she regrets

I think she is at the stage of not giving a toss what her MPs want - resigning soon, do we think?

It is a bluff, and not a very good at me ! If MV3 lost then a long delay, he's only said it would rule out a short delay. No one apart from the usual fringe suspects want No Deal. The EU maybe saying hard things atm, as they rightly sense we're weak and on the ropes. Standard practice when opening negotiations !

That might have been the interpretation at 10:45 this morning, no so much now. Things move fast around here.

Yes, i predict she will say to the nation, it’s the deal or no deal, I Also think the EU will will also take that position.
Taking way the safety net from parliament that voted to reject no deal, which was never in their power anyway.
It’s the end game. The choice is clear, there is no third way.

Re: Brexit (New).
Having threatened the ERG she’s now onto threatening the remainers. There’s zero chance of no deal, without an active choice by both Government and Parliament to facilitate it.
