| Quote: | | | | | On German news they said yesterday that what ever the outcome of the talks, it has to go back to GB parliament and be approved.
Is that so? | | | | | Yup.
The last few months have gone from being a numbers game (in the HoC) to a legal game. No it's both. There's the NI VAT issue (thank JR-M for that), border issue, single market, level playing field concerns, etc...all of which need to be gone over with a fine toothed legal comb whilst also trying to get the numbers to support it. Add to that, Conservative Party have already said they will remove the whip from any Conservative MP who votes the deal down, thus reducing their numbers even further.
This could go any way and attachment of final confirmatory vote might be the only way to get it through. We shall see. All bets are off for the moment.

Because reaching deals has not been the problem, getting them through at home is.  | | | | | Has to be approved by both UK and EU Parliaments.

Referring back to the 11 Department of International Trade videos tweeted by Leadsome (per post 23239 by Blueangel last week), it seems rather craven of our erstwhile leaders not to present the videos themselves.
It should be up to Leadsom, Raab, Johnson etc telling businesses owners personally that they 'may' have to follow a whole bunch new red tape, hire new agents, purchase new software, comply to new standards, etc, or stop trading in Europe. Not jobbing actors on zero-hours contracts.
Does anyone here have any contacts in the deepfake community?
I'm not joking.

Again, this does not work.
The Benn Act is prescriptive as to the motions. If the PM puts this motion and then fails to send the Benn Act letter we *will* pursue contempt proceedings against him and the Advocate General for Scotland. | | | | | |

Hand it back to Ireland and refuse entry to Great Britain for the unionists (although some, I assume, are good people) who live in the north?
*and the people of Ireland, and the USA, and anyone else involved in the GFA
