Brexit negotiations

I'm flattered.

I can't see May getting her deal through parliament at the fourth attempt so she stands down but as I understand it she will keep acting as prime minister until the Tories elect a new leader. This will take weeks or possibly even longer. In the meantime there is apparently no parliamentary majority for any course of action.

The completely pointless cross party talks have achieved nothing apart from wasting more time and are about to be abandoned.

I know you would like MPs to get on with "completing brexit" but May's deal is unacceptable to most MPs and a no deal brexit is even more unacceptable so I don't see how this will happen. A second referendum might help but at the moment there is no parliamentary majority for this either.

There is a good summary of what could happen next on the BBC site below but your guess is as good as mine.

I agree May's deal is unacceptable, and I think she'll be shot down in flames as well. The way things are, all parties are in the doldrums, and the only indicator of a direction to go will be the European elections. However, as you state, most MP's want a no deal Brexit, but because nothing is happening, and all the politicians have argued themselves into a corner, many will be happy to accept the election results, as some sort of impetus/starting point, as it breaks the deadlock. 
This quiet period we've all enjoyed has highlighted the absolute havoc delays are causing our industries and investment. Added to that the recent report that not continuing with Brexit will now cause our trade serious damage.
I have never liked the second referendum idea, it shows the politicians have failed, and are passing the buck, and the public are so entrenched in their own camps now that the arguing will continue ad nauseum and though the numbers may change, nothing else will.

Some people just can't accept it can they!

I had the Brexit party leaflet come through my door the other day, it soon made it's way to my paper recycling bin as that's all it's good for.

I will frame mine when I get back to the UK.

I think you mean most MPs don't want a no deal brexit glos.

Where have you read that not continuing with brexit will cause our trade "serious damage"? That seems highly unlikely as nothing will change if we stay in the EU.

You're right 

It was on the TV, and on the newsfeed I have. Unfortunately, I can't remember exactly what the circumstances are for this to be the case, but I know it wasn't good. I'll see if I can find it. (we'll have probably left by the time I do)

Anyone know when Lusty's coming back? Or is he banned for life?

Was he banned?

He tried to register on Chorley Nuts, he lasted 10 minutes.

Lusty should be allowed back by now, whether he wants to come back is another story.

Banned for life I thought.

Where's our great and glorious leader to put us straight on this? It was only a temporary ban as far as i remember.

Probably for the best just to prevent any further embarrassment.

Yes because we can't have disagreements on a forum can we?

Of course, but abuse is not necessary.

of course it is you Scottish wanker
