EU referendum, brexit and the aftermath

Morgan are about as Brexit as cars get.

I despair.

“I am trying to negotiate the best deal for Britain. I am confident I can get a deal that allows us to strike our own trade deals while having a border with the EU which is as frictionless as possible.

“But if the Lords amendments are allowed to stand, that negotiating position will be undermined.”

Can someone kindly, finally explain to her that it's not going to work 'her' way?

The EU have been trying too, ever since she triggered A50.

Oh, really?

The space they are in (custom build expensive) more waiting or costs don't harm them anyway.

Isn't it a bit late for 'negotiations' anyway? Shouldn't it have been... decided by now?

She can't expect people to believe at some point soon the two sides will sit down, at opposite ends of a table and start having a shootout over the finer points of air traffic control; then nuclear standard convergence; then international driving licences; banana size standardisation etc etc etc

What will happen is as has been predicted from the start. There'll be a couple of big all nighters for the media, with photos of exhausted analysts sleeping over laptops and David Davis looking half-cut, followed by May signing the bit of paper that's put in front of her. That's probably already prepared.

Caterham Cars Ltd (Seven)

100% owned by Tony Fernandes of Malaysia.

Mclaren Automotive

100% subsidiary of McLaren Group, 56% of which is owned by the Mumtalakat Holding Company, the sovereign wealth fund of the Kingdom of Bahrain. 14% owned by Mansour Ojjeh, who's French but born in Saudi.

Not very British owned.

Problem is if she runs the clock down too far and there's no time to ratify it.

Also, we've not done anything about Gibraltar yet...

Isn't it a bit late for 'negotiations' anyway? Shouldn't it have been... decided by now?

Oh, now there's a thought. Maybe that's the way to do it?

Oh dear the AA page I used got it wrong then :)

Tx

But by that time some nasty amendments (ditching EU human rights, environmental protection etc.) may have already been signed :/

I despair, also. (Joins queue)

So, who really owns the AA, then? :)

Must be Aaron Banks or Putin, no? ;)

Anybody with shares it seems

Phillip Lee (remainer Justice Minister) has resigned in protest.

DUP voting with May. No surprise. The comments on Labour also aren't but we expect the Tories to be mates with the DUP, not Labour...

"The DUP's Westminster leader Nigel Dodds said he had been in intensive discussions, not just with the Conservative Party but with Labour as well.
He told BBC NI's Good Morning Ulster: "My sense is that people are coming together, not only the Conservative benches, but also talking to Labour colleagues last night.
"The sense is that they are saying, 'We can't possibly be seen to be voting against Brexit because the referendum result needs to be delivered'."

Mr Dodds said that many of their constituents in the north of England voted overwhelmingly to leave the European Union."

Labour is going to vote with the Tories on this, no?

It seems so. The train crash filmed on a high speed camera continues...and we haven't ran out of film yet.

With the Tories on what? The eea thing was all I've read?

Govt defeats the meaningful vote amendment based on some sort of assurance from May. Depressed

Cock

There was obviously never any chance the Government would lose a vote billed in advance as liable to bring it down if lost.

Guy walks into Axe. Lager please. Ayinger? No, English. Camden Town? Yes please.

At least Labour didn't vote with them, bar a few stragglers.

Private Eye is reporting Jacob Rees Mogg’s investment fund has set up
a new feeder fund in Dublin to avoid consequences — like an end to
passporting — of hard Brexit. What amazing front. Go buy the magazine
for the details.

There are none as deaf as those that do not want to hear....she does not want to hear!
