REUTERS/Peter Nicholls LONDON (Reuters) - The chances of Britain leaving the European Union without a deal at the end of October are underpriced, Britain’s Brexit minister Stephen Barclay said on Wednesday. Asked about the likelihood of a no-deal Brexit, Barclay pointed to the fact that parliament is only due to sit for a relatively short period of time in September and October and that legislation required to pass a deal would be significant. “I think a no deal is underpriced. It is still this government’s intention and both leadership candidates’ intention to seek a deal and I think it is the will of many members of parliament for there to be a deal,” he told a committee of lawmakers. “But the question then will be is there a deal that is palatable to parliament and if not will parliament vote to revoke or will we leave with no deal?” -- © Copyright Reuters 2019-07-17 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loiner Posted July 17, 2019 Share Posted July 17, 2019 Have Barclays forgotten that Parliament has already legislated to Leave and that legislation does not require a deal. Sent from my iPhone using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the Brexiteer legal challenge wrt that was tossed out of court as being ‘without merit’. Please don’t tell me you are taking Johnson at his word?!

JonnyF Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Unfortunately we still have the anti democratic, childish, scheming rodents like Grieve trying to stop No Deal by withholding funding for education and benefits. Or by insisting Parliament meets every 2 weeks to discuss unrelated issues. Then we have the Tilbrook case being buried. Gina Miller surfacing again. The House of Lords trying to create obstacles. It's going to be quite tough to implement the will of the people when the establishment is full of these anti-democrats. For the sake of democracy in the UK, let's hope we leave at the end of October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The advisory referendum told the government more people who voted wanted to leave the EU than remain in it. That should have kicked off exploratory talks, and intelligent consideration of all alternatives and what that would mean in the short, medium and long term. These alternatives should've been fully debated in parliament with each party putting their recommendations to the people. A GE could, and should, have been fought accordingly. The winning party could then have invoked Article 50 and negotiated with the EU from a position of strength. Instead stupid May thought she could be clever, invoke Article 50 and use the Royal Prerogative to by-pass parliament and do as she pleased. She screwed up and none have had the balls to stop and start again, preferring to just wallow in the mess and make it worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drawn-out fiasco since clearly indicates connivance between Remainer May, a mainly Remainer Parliament and the EU heirachy. They clearly all believed that if they f-cked the British people around long enough we would change our minds. I, for one, can't wait for them to be proved wrong. Boris is no angel, but rather him and the temporary convulsions of an October 31 "no deal" exit than permanant vassalage to a sclerotic, failing European superstate which increasingly resembles the former Soviet Union in its twilight years.

Boris was a failure as foreign secretary, he’ll fail as PM. But you might get a clever sounding Latin quote from him as he does so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted July 18, 2019 Share Posted July 18, 2019 Please do not bother us at this time about the most important decision this country will make in the next 40 years,,,,,, the House of Commons representatives (chicken farm) are on holiday Only in the UK are they so complacent about their future Even a new PM takes 6 weeks to haggle over.
