So no deal it is. | | | | | I’m not betting on that outcome.
We are dealing with people with zero morals or compunction.

Sure Labour can spout sh1te about how they’d have done it, but now we’re all a bit older and wiser, and can see through that. | | | | | Sure they would. Labour are on the verge of a split too thanks to Magic Grandpa and his antisemitic following. Tom Watson is all that is holding them together at the moment, but a split is inevitable.

maybe not. I don't think the cracks are as deep as they appear, and if they take down Corbyn and replace him by somebody with more street sense, I expect they will find new unity.
The cracks in the Tory party, however, will take longer to heal. The Tory's only hope for survival is that Corbyn clings on as long as he can.
Now if only he would wake up to the fact that he could hold them to ransom by threatening to resign.

| | Re: The Brexit referendum thread: potential consequences for GB, EU and the Brits in | Quote: | |  | | | I'm now more confident that the UK will escape Brexit by the skin of its teeth, through revocation of the Article 50 notice. The BBC reports that "Mrs May said Commons votes had already been held on different Brexit options and the 'one positive thing' that had been agreed was to rule out a no-deal departure on 29 March". With parliament ruling out no deal and an EU (French?) veto of the request for an extension, that pushes May into the corner that she has probably been searching for all along: revocation, as the only remaining option. | | | | | May needed the parliament's order to issue the notice to invoke A50 so logically she needs one to withdraw as well. Another thing that will neer happen.

And that's how Marxists roll. The membership certainly won't get rid of him. This is precisely the reason the Parliamentary Labour Party will split. I can't wait.

I don’t know what all the fuss is about.
We’ve all seen project go-lives delayed at work before.

| | Re: The Brexit referendum thread: potential consequences for GB, EU and the Brits in | Quote: |  | | | The Speaker of the House of Commons, John Bercow, granted an emergency debate -- being held this afternoon -- over whether a longer extension to Brexit should be requested by May instead of the short one she requested today | | | | | Source
May is off to Brussels tomorrow to discuss possible extensions with the EU team.
If I was them I would be asking for some definite proof that the extension will bring something actual from the UK!

EU announced that a short term extension is only possible and will be granted if there will be a 3rd vote next week and the deal will be accepted.

They might as well say: "We are deciding for you".
And what does GB need an extension for if they obey to this next week?
PS I heard that differently: They said the extension can last longest until May 23rd
