Johnson said that she should go back to Brussels and tell them this won't wash and she wants a better deal. JRM said that the government hadn't negotiated well but neither of them said anything about leaving with no deal. In fact JRM said that people were worried if we left under WTO rules. Nothing from the weasel Gove or Fox as far as I know? Very cautious comments coming from the gung ho brigade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The slight problem is it's not within parliament's power to do that now. If parliament does nothing we leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She will try to find a way through Parliament, a softer Brexit, or she will sanction a second vote. That’s why GBP strengthened yesterday. Her sense of duty to whom I would have to ask? And duty is not necessarily the same as honour. Apart from that she can't dance worth a sh1t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunroaming Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 18 minutes ago, nauseus said: She has already survived the internal Tory no confidence challenge by your "hardliners". After this she is safe from her own for 12 months. Her government will probably scrape through the no confidence vote, today, as the Conservatives will do anything to keep Corbyn from No.10 and so actually unite. If she is going she has to quit herself. I was referring to before she won the confidence vote. JRM and Johnson have been lobbing hand grenades from the side-lines for two years and had numerous opportunities to challenge her as she has been weak and vulnerable for a long time. I agree that she will survive the vote today thanks to her Tory MPs. Many of whom have been her biggest critics. Much of the chaos is because they are all playing party politics and motivated by self interest. Nothing to do with what is best for the country.

In fact if they do nothing it will be a 'hard brexit' by default. This is why they're all so busy trying to find some kind of deal. Please keep up. It is just another deal now without a majority. Dream on if you think it will sit there at the end as the default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they became leader, then they would indeed be blamed for not delivering it themselves, as it's probably near as dammit to impossible. Posturing for after-the-chaos glory !

rixalex Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 No one has ever known what Brexit means - that is a Major part of the problem. Every Leave supporter has their own internal view of what it should be, but just try and get 17 million of them into a room and all agree and see what happens....Completely untrue. Every leave supporter just wants to leave the EU. Not half in, half out. LEAVE.
