Obviously, I agree with JRM and would rather Brexit was cancelled than end up with basically a poorer version of what we already have. Bottom Line is that May is like a rabbit in the headlights and is trying to ride two horses with one arse. I think it’s time for a new broom or they might as well move over for Jeremy. BTW, May talking about her own smear test during PMQ’s didn’t half spoil my lunch May is the one holding it altogether. If she finally folds, and I don’t think she will - look at what she has survived already, it could bring down the government. The thing that will probably do for her is a collapse in the flimsy DUP coalition then a no confidence vote. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19827 Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 A JRM wouldn’t last long if he came into power before our exit. There’s no chance his vision of hard Brexit is getting voted through the commoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have to look at my comments as you would comments about Newcastle players. We don’t have Shearer or Ginola etc so we talk up the likes of Mitro, Joselu etc. No parties currently have any great leaders that I can see but hopefully some will emerge from either party.

It’s the one thing she’s proved to be good at - clinging on to power when all the odds seem stacked against her. She’s doing a terrible job at pretty much everything else but he’s already survived several disasters and no one else wants lead the party till after she’s taken the heat for negotiating Brexit. And she apparently seems happy to be over and take one for the team. The DUP/Ireland border question will be the one thing which she might not be able to control. That could be Corbyn’s way in.

What don’t you understand? Fudge words were used to get everyone to Phase 2. Within days they were been watered down again to gradual divergence etc. I honestly have no idea what we’ll end up with as it really depends on who wins the argument within the Tory party. Brexiteers have backed May upto a point however lately Brexit seems to be softening which is causing the current unrest. Literally anything could now happen which will determine the firmness of our Brexit. If JRM’s side take over then we’ll be hard brexiting next March.

ewerk 26408 Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 What was agreed is in black and white. There is no fudging. JRM would have to go back on that agreement which would lead to no deal. Theresa May won’t do that. She cannot follow through with what she promised at Lancaster House. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you do understand that the “fudge” wording that got us to Phase 2 is not automatically going to be the wording that ends up in the legal document?
