Brexit

[dimejinky99]

Fantastic fascinating insight into just how prepared the EU were and almost a blow by blow account and how foolish certain MPs have been trying to get one over on the EU but failed.
Well worth a read. Best I’ve seen yet.

In the next few months, the EU holds decisive elections for the European parliament, where populist nationalists are predicted to make a strong showing. New European Commission and European Council presidents will need to be chosen and the next EU budget should be decided this autumn. The French president is not alone in worrying that an in-the-process-of leaving UK could throw a spanner in the works if it so chose.

This is not to say that the answer will be no if the prime minister comes to the emergency Brexit summit of EU leaders on 10 April, asking for a longer delay.

But there is a lively debate right now in EU circles about the virtue of granting the UK (by law all EU countries must come to a unanimous decision) a longer Brexit delay vs no deal in April or May. Of course no deal would be costly for the EU too, but for some, it's beginning to look like the best of a bunch of bad options.

Not new information at all.
Tusk and junker have both said they want Farrage out by then in order to prevent him causing more discord

He turns up maybe twice per year and just grandstands and gives ugly rhetoric speeches that are edited down for his ‘rallies’ in Britain.

On the face of it yeah but general election and extension application are even more likely than anything.

They already got an extension on the understanding that it would only be until April 11 unless May’s deal passed. Why would the EU cave and weaken its bargaining position by extending further in spite of today’s vote?

It just sounds like more of England talking to a door they just closed in their own faces.

Billions of moolah is why.

This here is Britain’s get out of jail card. Coupled with a second People’s Vote and/or general election. Actually the election will be necessary for the 2nd PV.

This is what they’re dealing with over there. The ignorance and arrogance is just frightening

Jesus Christ, what an embarrassing level of delusion.

It’s appalling. But that’s the level of debate from brexiteers of all stripes.

The DUP saying Germany’s Angela merkel Coming to Dublin this week it’s time to go back and ask for the removal of the backstop.

They’re still just not fuckin getting it. The negotiations are closed.

Why so many abstentions on the revoke Article 50 vote?

[dimejinky99]

Just chaos. None of them want to be seen to be either responsible for crash out or for any of the rest of it down a sliding scale.

General election is all but inevitable. But the EU are out of patience

We might see something Wednesday.

Ken Clarke's Customs Union only 3 votes short

Peter Kyle's people's vote/2nd ref only 12 short

Miles better than what Mays 3 different meaningful votes have done

[Green Habit]

Were any of the votes today on May's deal or is that referred to by another name?

[Anders]

No, none of the votes were on her deal. It has been defeated three times. Paliament has also ruled out no deal.

There is talk of her putting it up a fourth time, with a confidence vote. Government resigning if it loses again.
