When, if ever before, has the UK had the prospect of having a Pacifist as PM?

[pal44] 14/12/2018 14:46

May will work with Labour MPs to get here deal through just watch . JC is history ..chocolate teapot IMO

[bbalanjones] 14/12/2018 14:43

excell1 :- Agreed. However Labour could 'flip' on official EU position at some time All it would take is for an Assassin to strike at JC. Can it happen?

Trouble is bbalanjones,the main opposition party also want to remain in the EU.It would be far easier for a general election in which the main opposition party wanted to do what the people want and that was decided in the referendum.We do not have that luxury so the end result in theory is a revolution until we get a party together that represents the people.The referendum was actually started because the Tories feared the popularity of UKIP at that time.

On topic: Nice to see LBG actually BUYING shares for reward purloses on the market!!

Almost all the politicians interviewed have used the backstop as the reason they went against May. Are they happy with the rest of the deal? If not, what a waste of time. Are the ERG simply running the clock down to hopefully take this to a harder Brexit?

Still see a people’s vote being the likely outcome.

[bbalanjones] 14/12/2018 14:28

excell1......sure fire cry for a General Election then?

[careful] 14/12/2018 14:27

it make you laugh when they say 17.4m people will be angry if they have another vote and lose.
it would mean that there are less than 17.4m voters left to be angry.

[careful] 14/12/2018 14:24

and they still persist with Brexit with 16.3m voters knives in their back.

[excell1] 14/12/2018 14:23

The crux of the matter is that in the referendum the people of the U.K. voted to leave the EU but Parliament doesn't agree (we are talking majorities here)
It boils down to, do we live in a democracy where the peoples representatives in parliament represent the people or themselves.If they are doing their job they should represent the people if not, we should boot the lot out.

[bbalanjones] 14/12/2018 14:13

Maybot still tries to strut her stuff in Europe with the weight if 117 knives in her back. Someone please compose an appropriate Elegy for the lass.

Hello? Anyone at home?

There are others to consider you ignorant f%ckers.

Just how many times did Teresa May tell us that no deal was better than a bad deal.Well we have a bad deal. Get on with the no deal.

From the media...the man has spoken...

Tony Blair has predicted there could soon be a majority in parliament for a Final Say referendum, after European leaders snubbed Theresa May’s efforts to save her Brexit deal.

In a humiliating blow to the prime minister, the EU27 issued a statement saying the withdrawal agreement was ”not open for renegotiation”, as well as deleting key passages from their council conclusions.

[poikka] 14/12/2018 13:36

"The Telegraph understands that as many as 12 ministers are among the 117 MPs who voted against Mrs May and are facing retribution from a furious Number 10.
A source says the whips are now “going through the process” to identify ministers who had no confidence in Mrs May."

Moment Theresa May confronts Jean-Claude Juncker in heated exchange after he said her Brexit offer was 'nebulous and imprecise'

[jrphoenixw2] 14/12/2018 13:33

@Careful: 'Tusk said she did not tell them what she wanted, she asked them what to do.'

I swallowed that too. Until I read this tweet from a Telegraph Europe correspondent:
'09.17 [this morning] Austrian Chancellor contradicts Jean Claude-Juncker
@JamesCrisp6
.@adamfleming asks Sebastian Kurz of Austria if it is true that May was unclear over what she wanted.
Kurz: No.
So she was really precise?
K: Yes.
So do you believe Kurz or do you believe Juncker?'


... and that is one thing that has surprised me with BREXIT, the seemingly limitless amount of intentional li... er, misinformation being fed to the media that then makes headlines as facts. Bullying and threats haven't succeeded: Now it's desperation time.

[aceuk] 14/12/2018 13:25

There'd have to be a sea-change in the British mentality and attitude for that to make any difference cannyshoveyergrannyoffthebus. Can't see that happening - do you remember last time some guy from my neck-of-the-woods (can't remember his name) started off the fuel protest at Stanlow? Complete and abject failure :-(((

[careful] 14/12/2018 13:25

The EU. will not renegotiate existing agreements passed by 28 different countries, include the UK.
They can't change agreements every time one of their members has an election.

The blame is with our own politicians and civil servants for making such agreements.
It takes years, then parliament, the Lords and then it is signed off by the Queen.
this happens, or something similar, in 28 different countries.

how can we expect it to be changed, get realistic, it is not the eu's fault.
The politicians shift the blame, Cameron knew he would fail.

[montyhedge] 14/12/2018 13:14

The city of course a big big earner for the chancellor, France and Germany want to be No.1 Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels. They will do their best to get it, if no deal.
