	NEW: Leader of the House Jacob Rees-Mogg confirms gov is planning to move a single motion on Sat, presenting choice between this deal & #nodeal, & fulfilling simultaneously the requirements of both the #BennAct and s. 13 of the EU (Withdrawal) Act (i.e. the #meaningfulvote) Sneaky

Already largely killed off in effect. Government lost (yet another) vote, this time on an amendment from Oliver Letwin.

	Has to be approved by both UK and EU Parliaments.

Neither of which are anywhere near guaranteed. UK vote is too close to call, I can also easily see the European Parliament objecting to a couple of the elements in the deal.

	Speaking of which, what's Boris's plan to appease the IRA* in the event of "no deal"? Set N Ireland adrift? 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

NI demographics mean reunification is going to happen within 10 to 20 years anyway. Although this might accelerate it.

I can't see the GFA being rewritten to the general satisfaction of everybody in the next 14 days.

Nobody will be complaining about EU migrants when a million Northern Irish Unionists flood the UK before re-unification. People will be confused as to which religion's regressive views they should be condemning...no doubt the DM will help out as per usual.

There's questions on both sides of the border, it's not a given that the Republic would want a united Ireland.

Well, you know, I’m kinda not caring about the outcome (Swiss passport holder). As are most of the EU. The whole episode has been a ridiculous fiasco. If you look at the German press or other European countries then you see something that‘s just opposite to what English press are reporting on-line.

Just ridiculous, and whatever the outcome the UK has become a laughing stock.

Worrying what other people think is always a waste of time.
Germany may be laughing but they are in a recession, UK buys a hell of a lot of German cars. I think the UK will get the final laugh on Germany if a deal is not accepted.

You know there is a glaring flaw in your reasoning there, don't you?

Not at all, the UK has always had a trade deficit with the EU, it's huge with Germany.

The good news is we will be able to buy Japanese cars instead. Also at a huge premium as we don't have the trade deal with Japan that the EU does.

Oops.

The EU has played this 'statesman'. A deal has been agreed, which is essentially the same as the previous one agreed with TM, the same one that the bozo rejected. It has stated that no extension will be granted. And the bozo will not get the votes in the UK Parliament. So the UK will crash of of the EU without a deal, and only the Tories will be to blame.

Trick would be deciding what the question would be.

A) Bojo deal ; B) No deal
A) Bojo deal ; B) No Brexit
A) No deal ; B) No Brexit
[etc ad nauseam]

I doubt prices will change much, it comes out of manufactures margin as commodity goods are sold for what the market will bear, nothing to do with the cost of goods.

Let’s face it, it’s just an adult game of ‘pass the parcel’. The parcel in this game being the blame on who is responsible for the future of the UK. Now the EU have successfully put the end-result on the UK.
