Neverending Story 3: The Ongoing Brexit Thread

They didn't for the same reason the SNP voted against the customs union... because, despite bleating about May's 'red lines' for years, these people have their OWN red lines.

 

The queen won't get involved, and rightly so.

 

Depends what you mean by 'the meeja'. The serious media have... the beeb, C4, ITV, etc.... even Sky

It's just that it hasn't made any difference to May and her cohort of nutters. It's not fair to blame the meeja for... well, reality.

 

SNP really has one line, and it's independence. Anything in service of that will win their vote.

 

I have to imagine they do.

 

Given the vote results in Scotland, I’d imagine they view anything short of Remain as helping the Independence vote... Didn’t SNP abstain from all the votes yesterday?

 

???

Not sure how that's supposed to work

Whether we leave or stay it's next to impossible for them to leave anyway for similar reasons to the ones we're having leaving the EU... times about 10.

 

Exactly. This was a good thread on the subject.

Dear Parliamentarians,

You will be debating today on a number of issues and from time to time "implement the result" and "respect democracy" will be said. Since there seems to be some confusion around these terms, I've written this helpful guide.

And let's not forget that one of the main arguments put forward by the Brexit supporters was for the sovereignty of Parliament.

 

The @BorisJohnson article got a lot of responses today, unfortunately I can't seem to see any from the millions of people he claims to speak for.

Cabinet is getting liquored up while they wait for May to finish her speech.

The thought is that some of her red lines are becoming a little more pink and perhaps a bit more dash like.

 

A50 extension request coming to allow talks with Corbyn to come to a common future relationship (which she should have done as soon as she lost her majority).
Failing an agreement, options will be put to the house. Likely to get the same results as the indicative votesto start with.
Appears to pretty much rule out no deal, but that assumes the Commons can actually agree on something.

 

FFS. May's brilliant plan is to seek another article 50 extension.

Just freaking revoke it and negotiate the exit without the artificial deadline.

 

The Tories can't afford the Euro elections. Business donations have completely dried up.

 

She's basically run out of ideas and thinks that involving Corbyn will shift the blame.

 

So.. If you're Corbyn, what do you do at this point? Do you actually negotiate with her, or do you dig your heels in and demand a snap election?

 

If there's no agreement, the media will blame him for it all. Might as well hold out for Labour's proposal.

 

Corbyn's not shown that he's smart enough to avoid that banana peel.
