EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

I'm so confused on what is happening it may be I habe to return to the UK and worried about timing and getting work. The uncertainty of it all is so shit, I can't imagine how businesses are coping.

is no deal still an option ? or is more likely that an extension of artical 50 is going to happen with EU rules ? I ain't got a clue

Probably a repost.. the past three weeks working inside Parliament, utter meh on the inside, carnival like around Abingdon Green.

Expecting trouble on the streets tomorrow with marches and another flipping taxi drivers strike..

I love Mayo. #thingscrackerslike

Solid slap from the leader of the SNP

Rightly so as well. The majority of today’s electorate don’t remember that, who the hell is he trying to appeal to?

This is quite a handy visualisation

Nostalgic Brexiteers? No idea. I know others will disagree, but his entire strategy evades me.

Have we had a WTFIAGO lately?

No?

WTFIAGO!

Is that the web a spider makes when you feed it LSD?

It’s the web when you make a spider watch BBC parliament for 3 years.

Sorry I meant confirmatory vote. Second coffee incoming

You had one coffee already and the issue was settled, there is no justification for a second coffee.

Completely OT, but +1 on your username / pic. It should make you the safest cyclist too, as you know stuff is coming before anyone else can hear or see it...

We need another one.
A people's WTFIAGO.

I know, and I am using the word -considers- but if they are "the true Irish" or not, will not matter once the UK pisses of ROI with border issues.

Perceived identity or real identity, it won't matter.

coffee means coffee?

When did you last walk into a coffee shop and see an easy to understand coffee on the menu. Now what kind of flat mocha frappelatte do you want?

It needs to be milky, with proper gold top milk, but it must also be completely vegan.

Covfefe means covfefe.

People with celtic cross tattoos, wearing claddagh rings and shamrocks who are 5-6 generations removed from the Emerald Isle.

One of the New York papers once ran a series of polls amongst both long-established Irish Americans and new Irish immigrants to compare their attitudes. The one I remember was about favourite/most-hated films. For the Irish Americians, "The Quiet Man" was top. For the Irish, it was among the most hated, being a queasily patronising example of Oirishry.

From the Guardian's live feed:

"This is from Graeme Cowie, a Commons clerk specialising in Brexit.

Even he doesn’t know what is happening tomorrow."

Presumably this is something Momentum made him do?

Corbyn isn't going to need them anyway. He's polling so well that after the next election Labour will have a huge majority.

Quite apart from the relevance why is he even taking pot shots at the SNP? Doesn't he have anything better to aim at at the minute?

When people do 'x years ago today' posts I always like to wonder what people would have been saying had they pulled the same trick on that date.

So, in 1979, were people still trying to conduct their politics by dredging up what was going on in the late 1930's?

Don't trust the Tories because in 1939 Chamberlain failed to stop the German advance through Norway.

Boris, having pivoted to back May's deal yesterday, is today letting it be known that it's a dead deal anyway and doesn't matter. I assume the calculation is that he gets to pose publicly for Tories as a non-traitor while trying to hold onto credibility with the hard-line Eurosceptics.

Labour lost a lot of votes in Scotland, where the SNP has largely stolen the mantle of anti-austerity.

Scotland is still relevant, you know. Campaigning for Scottish votes is a thing U.K. politicians still do.
