Denying climate-change is pretty much in the same category now as flat-earthers. So any academics would rightly pull you up on this.

Actually, scientists admit there is no conclusive proof that it is carbon that is causing any warming that may be taking place. However, it is certainly their opinion that this is the cause.
Strange, really, given that the amount of carbon absorbed into the atmosphere has not changed much over time and is still within the normal range. Sadly, no-one yet has been able to explain this evidence.
Anyway, back to Brexit, where so many eminent forecasters are confidently predicting that the UK will be worse off for the foreseeable future despite not having factored in the opportunities that will open up as a result. At least we will be able to prove them wrong a lot quicker than when the scientists finally have to admit the errors that have been made in respect of their global warming forecasts.
As far as Labour's no confidence vote is concerned, they are just playing games. They know full well they won't win that. What a bunch of time wasters they are.

And if the scientists are right? -Doomsday, a risk worth taking?
As for the no confidence vote, it's possible. The ERG contain a few nutters who will cut off their noses to spite their face. If it gets rid of May and her deal they might be tempted... Doubtless they'd hope a new ultra right wing Govt. and a 'proper' Brexit would result. It won't of course.

Like they were right when they told us butter was bad for you, which was incorrect, as they now admit something like 40 years later.
The ERG will not support a no confidence vote and they have stated this. It's a no-deal Brexit they are passionate about, not another election.

I am with Mr K on this one. The people who want to take this country to their No Deal, free market paradise are beneath contempt. They betray their country, their communities and their fellow citizens.

Re: Brexit
The offer made to the DUP:
Quote:
The prime minister’s frantic last attempt to persuade Northern Ireland’s DUP to back her third meaningful vote on Tuesday involves a promise that if the controversial backstop is ever triggered, Great Britain would adopt any new food and business rules that could be forced by the EU on Northern Ireland.
This is a high-risk offer by Theresa May to NI’s unionist party - which has huge clout with her because without its votes in parliament her government would collapse.

Re: Brexit
It’d be hilarious if they bought it and a future UK Government reneged.

That's the risk. I also doubt the ERG would be keen.

Re: Brexit
At some point in the future the choice will be whether to give England the Brexit it wants or not. Leaving Northern Ireland in regulatory alignment with the EU is a small price to pay, and I suspect we’d have paid it by now if the DUP weren’t propping up the Government.

No Prime Minister would ever sanction the break up of the United Kingdom which is what that would be.
