So Mrs May is going to ask the EU to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement that she's already signed off on

I saw a great analogy using Lego the other day. It went along the lines of “a group of children have different coloured Lego bricks each and have been building together, however one wants to leave, taking their blue bricks with themâ€. Trying to unpick just one colour would be very tricky, and in some instances could damage the integrity of the structures.
Do you think she will actually look them in the eye when she makes the request or will she be head down and shuffling papers? I get someone else asking but as she spent 2 1/2 yrs on the previous deal and signed off on it she is looking more than foolish going back now.So Mrs May is going to ask the EU to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement that she's already signed off on

Not by any stretch of the imagination is this a good comparison. Why do we need analogies? we're big boys we can handle the truth!
Both the EU and the UK can stand independently. The 'structure' is not physical it is only an artificial political construct propped up by a Ponsi financial edifice of questionable debt instruments from the ECB and manipulated by the Brussels inefficient management.

Maybe they'll have to offer him the Knighthood first?

If the Tories had replaced her with a genuine Leaver then the request would have been reasonable. May herself going back is just embarrassing us further. I'm sure she will be "very clear" about what she wants though!

To be fair, it's the first question that may actually be answered lately.
The EU have been asking what the UK Parliament wants since TM's deal was rejected. If they vote today for re-opening the Withdrawal agreement to renegotiate the back stop that'll be the first thing Parliament has agreed about for some time re. Brexit and answers the EU's question.
I have no idea what the "alternative arrangements" are supposed to be and why they're not written down so they could be debated and voted on today...

They all get one when they retire [or a Damehood], even those Scottish leftie socialist Labour ones.
It's because they have all given great service to the country, every single one

You mean she's going to change her mind after being confronted with the reality of the situation? Undemocratic traitor......

Me neither, but my guess is that they do not actually know what they are. But they are willing to vote for such an amendment that contains some vague sentiment but with absolutely no detail of how it will be achieved. Which is kind of what got us into this in the first place. Once bitten.....

But remember "Nothing Has Changed"

You need to read some of the commentary in the German Press this morning......they are worried about the impact on their UK exports of "WTO." We are not desperate, "we" (as in our Parliament) are just ensuring we don't leave. That frames all of the alleged negotiation!

Yes, that's correct. There was nothing funny about it and I doubt there was meant to be.
