I dearly hope Theresa May truly does listen to the opposition. She will only get a deal through parliament by getting closer to those who want to remain closer to EU on the opposite benches than the lunatics in her own party who want no deal. Hard Brexit can't be taken off the table. It's a default position by automatic operation of law, as David Allen Green would put it. There isn't a deal better than the one we have right now. Anything less than that is a an example of national blood letting for no damn reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted January 16, 2019 Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2019 So, there are (probably) four outcomes here: Revoking A50 and staying in Europe Extending A50 and looking at renegotiating The seven-week-miracle-negotiation that suits both the EU and the entirety of Parliament No deal Where would you put each of those in terms of likelihood?

The absolute maximum is an an A50 extension request, but I'd be surprised if that was decided already. It's going to be her doing some empty rhetoric for the papers about how she's committed to the referendum result. You know. The stuff that makes you wish you had a gun to blow open your temples.

I mean, that's a completely fair prediction as that's 99% of what she ever says. Bottom line, she's going to have to start saying things that aren't completely meaningless at some point between now and March, and why not start tonight. She actually has more political capital right now, tonight, than she's had for a while. Maybe time to spend some of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blandy Posted January 16, 2019 Author Moderator Share Posted January 16, 2019 1 hour ago, Risso said: The expressions and body language of Corbyn and May were very telling I thought, when Watson and Gove respectively were speaking. Corbyn couldn't even pretend to nod and has a look of absolute hatred frozen on his face. May has the fake smile of somebody over Christmas when a relative they really can't stand has come to stay for a few days. I share a strong connection with each of them. I'm with Jez "absolute boy" Corbz, in that I absolutely loathe May and the tories, and I'm on May's side in that I can't stand Jeremy numpty Corbyn...or Gove. come to that. What could possibly go wrong here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted January 16, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted January 16, 2019 I genuinely, genuinely loathe that woman. As expected, meaningless disingenuous hypocritical shit dribbling from her mouth again. Downing Street collapsing into the Earth's core overnight would be worth celebrating. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
