More and more are talking about this option. Not what I would choose- remain would be so much better, but ... https://www.ft.com/content/833dd0b6-..._Doby1_StM8GuE |

I presume we'll leave with no deal now.
Will make it easier to rejoin in 2020 when everything has gone to shit and we're offered the Euro at 1:1 | The following 2 users would like to thank for this useful post: | |

Negotiations to join up will probably take far longer than that.

If they decide on the basis of what the authors of article 50 actually had in mind, the verdict could be more complicated.

It's only right that EU should decide whether the Art 50 process can be cancelled or not. | | | | | It is actually a two-step process. An advocate general, a senior lawyer knowledgeable in the law, precedence and European legislation will make a preliminary ‘recommendation before Christmas. The Court will then review that recommendation and decide. They hope to have the decision before the end of the year. They could agree with the advocate general, which the do in over 80% of the cases, or disagree. Their decision will be binding in all member states, including the UK and is not subject to appeal.

Farage going crazy on LBC because the French are no longer taking every care to stop those from the 'jungle' crossing. I think it might get a lot worse after March 2019 ...the EU in general will only be too pleased to help them on their way ...

UK significantly worse off under all Brexit scenarios - official forecast.
The government and the Bank of England will publish reports on Wednesday that outline the economic costs associated with a range of Brexit scenarios.
The UK economy will be worse off under all of them, UK Treasury chief Philip Hammond told Sky News.
The UK would be significantly worse off under all possible Brexit scenarios in 15 years’ time, according to a benchmark economic analysis produced by a range of government departments including the Treasury. Source

Corbyn is a total idiot to keep selling a unicorn better deal to his membership. Very dangerous and silly game.
So what will it be- this bad deal, or Remain? Anything could happen - and you all know what I wish for  | | | | | All I can see it's people in their fifties and sixties (Corbyn is 69, May is 62, Cameron 52, Farage 54), and I really mean no offence, are deciding on the future of the next generations who might want something totally different in say 10 years from now on. Do they have any idea how different these new generations are? I wouldn't be surprised if younger generations were much more open to the idea of Europe and not so much to the idealised glory of the old empire.
