Brexit - or Article 50: the Phoenix!

[SocketRocket]

Unfortunately I’ve gone the opposite way, I am disillushioned more than ever with politicians on all sides, even worse that some things the SNP have stated has seen me nod my head in agreement.

Don't forget the cornflake box voices.

Its reported that Jeremy Corbyn is going to see Barnier ahead of the EU summit and the PM's address. I wonder if he'll tell Barnier the position of himself and/or the Labour Party. He's managed to avoid answering the question so far.

The farce continues but the audience has left the theatre.

BREAKING: John Bercow declares there is a parliamentary precedent from 1622 enabling him to quietly push a malfunctioning Prime Minister in the Thames if he feels like it.

You can imagine how Corbyn's conversation will go with Barnier.

Don't you love farce?
My fault, I fear.
I thought that you'd want what I want...
Sorry, my dear!
But where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here

Why is Labour's flexibility to seek a sensible Brexit compromise solution any worse than May's intransigent inflexible 'head in sand' my way or no way, deny reality position?

Just heard France likely to say no to Art50 extension (because it's pointless) so looks like we're out 'deal-less' next week thanks mainly to May's pig-headedness.

But only on the condition he gives Guy Fawkes another go.

Lets wait and see.

“A short extension will be possible conditional on a positive vote in House of Commons” says @eucopresident. So Brexit delay requires MPs to back PM’s deal at third attempt. Tusk implies he expects a no-deal Brexit.

Because he has no ability to achieve anything! Even if he could agree anything different to what May's team was able to achieve.

It's all a pointless (perhaps purely oint-scoring!) waste! But that's what Opposition, and particularly their leaders, do! If, however he came back resolved to support May's deal (after having a 'realism- epiphany!) then he might be able to sway/command Labour MPs to back May for the sake of the country! Ad especially he can extract some sort of additional 'concession' from Tusk et al that he can pronounce was his doing - and that would also mean the 'deal' is sufficiently changed to allow its return for a vote in The Commons.

Opposition leaders meeting PM at about 6.15, Key group of Brexiteers seeing PM at 7pm, then strong rumours of statement from PM herself at about 8pm - last bit is still not confirmed

 

[Taz]

What a shambles.
All along they've been saying its a waiting game and the EU would crumble at the last minute.
Lets see how thats worked out.

May to declare they have removed the staples form the paper on her "deal" and replaced then with comb bind, so her "deal"l has changed and putting through again

You can't go for the same thing twice.

 

[MegaSteve]

Anywhere else in Europe the 'people' would be, by now, out on the streets availing their leaders of their utter contempt/disbelief of their incompetence...

The fact we aren't highlights we haven't ever really got the hang of being 'European'...

 

[drdel]

Tusk will recommend an extension ONLY if MPs have agreed.

Might be short meeting in Brussels tomorrow!

Use dynamite this time thus a significant material change 😉

The EU will only agree to a short delay to Brexit if MPs approve the current withdrawal agreement next week, Theresa May has been told.

Just shows what a *** deal it must be for us and a great one for them

If Parliament had stood together there could well have been room for a last minute break,through . We have been negotiating in the medium of a one armed paper hanger.

If Parliament had been involved in the negotiations from day 1 maybe we wouldn’t be in this mess!
Still only 1 person and Party to blame!
