snowychap Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 Why is Duncan Smith given the first question on each of these Brexit announcements? Okay, this may not be strictly true but it appears that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted November 26, 2018 Moderator Share Posted November 26, 2018 Quote The UK can move to stop Brexit by attempting to unilaterally revoke Article 50, legal papers published by the government suggest. The documents indicate that MPs would first need to direct the government to revoke the Article, which started the countdown to Britain’s withdrawal when it was triggered almost two years ago. Until now the government has refused to discuss its view of the legality of revocation, but the newly released papers suggest it is a lack of political will rather than any legal barrier that is preventing a bid. Indie (more on link) AKA Government says government advice is what we all knew anyway but they tried to hide / deny / obfucate etc. And they left it until the eve of the ECJ hearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other words, we know you'll all be out on the piss and smashing expensive brass but try to make an effort. It's kind of important. MPs - over privileged 15-year-olds who never grew up.

Jon Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 So that cretin Trumpton has stuck the knife into Maybot's brexit deal. Another nail in the coffin. No way it's getting through parliament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Trump doesn't even know what's going on in the US never mind over here. He ignores his intelligence briefings, and it's not like Faux News is covering the details of Brexit, so from where is he getting his opinions? A call from Farage is my guess.

HanoiVillan Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Remember when one of her first acts as PM was to offer that dope a full state visit, in an act of pure cultural cringe? Yeah, I don't feel sorry for her either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A crash test dummy that stays behind after work to practice is more apt currently I think. I still think she will get it through though, her deal, hanging on in there, like a massive fat berg in a dirty rat infested sewer, it will break free of it's seemingly permanent contraints and ride over all her other little squeeking rats on their little rafts made of shit into permanent reality. I hope I am wrong. Enjoy breakfast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted November 27, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 27, 2018 The ECJ hearing on whether A50 is unilaterally revocable is being heard ATM. So far the UK government position has been 'please just throw out this whole thing for the love of all that is holy', and the EU argument has unsurprisingly been that having it be unilaterally revocable would be a shitshow.

It’s looking unlikely at the moment, although that could shift if any remain leaning MPs believe the alternative could be a hard brexit and if any staunch brexit MPs believe a “no deal” increases the chance of a second referendum. I wonder if it will take more than one vote before it might be passed or if that is even an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget - the precedent for this is any comment from a US President on this subject is a terrible affront to our political process and is interference in our democracy.

Chindie Posted November 27, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted November 27, 2018 The deal should fall at the first hurdle (unless the Tories crumble as they are want to do) but after that, who knows. May's gamble to accept the first loss and then use the ensuing chaos to force it through at second attempt could work. If resistance holds at that point all bets are off. No Deal by procrastination, extension, GE, a very unlikely Remain opportunity... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obama was directly asked by Cameron to come up with his back of the queue comment , Trump presumably wasn't directly asked by the PM to make his comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
