Brexited | the worst threads live the longest

Do you think there will be a Deal or No Deal?

It happened to me once many years ago on a flight from Gatwick-Tripoli-Benghazi. A Libyan farmer got aboard in Tripoli together with his chickens and goats - no-one took any notice (apart from the non-Libyans).
:lol:Those were the days. God knows how that guy got his goat through the ticket barrier though.
 
Such a day’s craic.

May is done IMO. I genuinely thought she might break down during that statement. I’d feel bad for her if she wasn’t such an atrocious human being. I think she’ll resign when parliament inevitably reject this deal. Then the games will begin.

Also starting to think Corbyn may have played a blinder here. He’s said a lot without committing to anything and now everyone is pissed with May on all sides.

Not sure I agree with you on Corbyn. His performance earlier was laughable. Labour have spent most of their time hiding on Brexit and have offered nothing constructive to the conversation at any point. They have their dopey ‘6 tests’ for Brexit that are impossible to pass.

He stole the goat from the Tuilerie Garden, that's in itself amazing, then he tried to travel with it in the metro.
 
How about a Caf vote? Choices clear now.
1. This deal
2. Hard Brexit
3. No Brexit
 
The commentators I've heard seem convinced that the Brexit deal has no chance of getting past parliament, but Betfair has 'deal to be approved by March 2019' as favourite, 4/6 on, and not agreed 11/10. I have no idea what's going to happen, and I'm amazed so many claim to know, my money's staying in my pocket.
 
May suggesting no brexit is an option. Seems like a big change to me.

I think that comment was directed at Brexiteers in order to get the deal through parliament. William Hague (who seems close to May) used the same phrase this evening and I doubt it is a coincidence.

Maybe, it's an important admission though.
 
Process certainly is taking its toll on Arlene Foster. Looking rough earlier.

Forgive my simple question but what happens if the deal doesn't get through parliament?

We likely leave the EU on WTO terms and the economy tanks.

The Fixed Term Parliaments Act means that only an official vote of no confidence or two-thirds of MPs can lead to a General Election.

Even if May is replaced there won't be a GE officially until 2022.
 
What?

Best I’ve ever seen her look tbh.

This, she looks fresher.

The agreement is a bit strange because there is too much direct references to EU regulations. I don't see how a genuine brexiteer wouldn't be triggered.
 
New: Understand Opposition Leader @jeremycorbyn is meeting the PM now privately in the Commons on Brexit Deal.
 
With all the shenanigans the Tories pulled in the last GE, I’m really struggling to get past the idea that they really did look to throw all this over to Corbyn to deal with. They knew the complexities and knew it was an impossible task and they were willing Labour to be the ones who fell on this particular sword.
 
Back to square one by tomorrow or will she make it to the weekend?

Honestly I don't know, from the first article about citizens status to the last one, they basically used current EU laws and practices. If there are genuine brexiteers out there then this is the worst thing possible outside of cancelling the all thing.
From a political point of view I don't really understand it.
 
In her speech in front of Downing St. But it appeared as more of a threat of ‘what could happen if you don’t let me pass this’.

Surely she can’t have been running a long con, and planning for a second referendum this whole time. Can she..?
 
May has had a difficult job, but surely her deciding to trigger article 50 early on despite seemingly having put in little to no thought in the deal they want. It also seems like they didn't consider the Ireland border as an issue before it came up in the negotiations.

An awful lot of time wasted really.

Feck knows what will happen.
