'implementation period' versus transition period?????? the devil is in the detail.

Um, what bit of "may" didn't you understand?

"Responding to a challenge from Eurosceptic Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg, she told MPs the need to ensure the minimum of disruption "may mean that we will start off with the ECJ still governing the rules we're part of for that period".

Not reading between the lines?

"may" here means "will, but I don't want to admit it and look weak(er!)".

As an aside, I have a gut feeling that Rees Mogg is going to be a pain in the neck, sooner or later.

Very bright, making use of social media to carefully cultivate an image, totally right wing.

I have a suspicion he longs for the times when his family made their fortune out of coal mines.

The only ones clutching at straws are those who think we'll get any kind of "soft" Brexit. I expect it will be a hard or no deal Brexit and always have.

Which is EXACTLY what the majority of people who voted for wanted, just to remind everyone stay or leave & without any options in-between.

But his appeal is one of morbid curiosity rather than trust and admiration. He's totally unrelatable.

That seems at best spurious guesswork.

Certainly the people who voted Remain can't have wanted that, so there's 48.1% of people immediately against. So of the 51.9% who voted leave, at least 50 of the 51.9% in your eyes must want Hard Brexit. So 96.5% of people who voted leave DEFINITELY want a Hard Brexit.

Pull the other one, it's got Glocken on.

I think he could end up being the Tory's equivalent of Corbyn. A cult following, crystal clear and admirable views, but no real outreach to middle ground voters and no credible street level perspective.

As such it would be a mistake to make him a leader. However, as somebody to have around to stir things up and challenge people's views and kick start ideas he is quite useful. If the Torys are smart, that's where they'll keep him.

As Labour should have done with Corbyn.

A little desperate. I think you might be attempting to equate the ridiculousness of Mogg with the Tory/Mass Media perception of Corbyn pre-election.

The fact is in the mean time, Tory stock has fallen massively and Labour's has risen. If there were an election tomorrow, the UK would end up with a Corbyn government, by any measure of polling doubt.

Having him crowing from the sidelines (with Boris et al joining in) is only weakining the Tory hand, so they have to do something, but Mogg can't be the answer, I agree...I'm just not sure who can be for them.

Admirable? The man who believes abortion is wrong even when the pregnancy is as the result of rape? The man who is against civil unions? Admirable?!!!

Similar views then to the former leader of your beloved Lib Dems.

And yet you still vote for them.

You mean the Tim Farron that has repeatedly voted in favour of same sex marriage in parliament? The Tim Farron quoted directly as saying “I am pro-choice. I believe that abortion should be safe and legal and that the limit should be set by science”?


Possible (but questionable) he had stricter views on abortion 10 or more years ago but despite the negative press is pretty clear now.

They're very different people. Both are Christians. Both have strong beliefs in their faith. One speaks out about it and has the voting record to match. One refused to speak out about it, be defined by it, and had a exemplorary voting record on LGBT rights.

What one believes as a private individual, can be markedly different to what one believes is best for the nation as a whole. I don't impose my strongly held, personal beliefs on my OH, nevermind anyone else. That's the difference.

Or the Tim Farron that was asked if homosexuality was a sin answered "we're all sinners". But I forgot, we're only allowed bash outdated views if they're from Tories or Trump.

Or put another way, one has the courage of his convictions and the other is a shallow charlatan.

Jacob Rees-Mogg is emerging as the new face of Russian political interference in the UK
