European Council president Donald Tusk ruled out renegotiating Theresa May’s Brexit deal today, saying if parliament rejects the agreement then Britain must either crash out of the EU with no deal or abandon Brexit altogether.

So no deal and leave the EU is on the cards

it's all over Europe that several PMs hold the door open for a50 prolongation and brushing up the deal

provided

parliament shoots down the deal

prolongation ends before new EU parliament becomes operational 

UK has a clear idea what she wants

motion of no confidence in the government is unlikely to pass and that would be the same as a board of directors  ( Conservative MP voting themselves out of a job with all the benefits that go with that job) more likely is May will go and a new Conservative leader will be chosen rabb or JRM

Yes, we agree except on the outcome - Mogg is looking a spent force since he failed to get the 48 letters and Rabb has proved himself an idiot. If the motion of no confidence fails to pass then May remains the leader - what will she do then?

 

One suggested scenario is that after the deal fails on the 1st vote, she teams up with remainders to pass her bill conditional on a referendum, this gives both her deal and remain a fighting chance and takes no deal Brexit off the table, which is a priority for both of those camps

this bit about getting employment within x hours or out I don't think is correct

that would mean it would be risky business to retire in EU

Portugal and Spain could just decide to throw out all retirees since they don't work

 

 

But do they pay their way without claiming anything as we do here in Thailand?

Theresa May said on Thursday that any decision to extend the Brexit negotiating period would reopen the exit deal she has agreed with the European Union, adding that she would not seek any extension.

"What is clear is that any extension to Article 50, anything like that, reopens the negotiations, reopens the deal and at that point the deal could go, frankly, in any direction," May told a parliamentary committee. REUTERS

First I am not having an argument I was only asking the question about how are the brexiteers going to deal with more immigrants from outside Europe when they hate the the ones they already have that come from Europe.seems like a fair question to ask,granted it could be construed as dog whistle politics.You do make a compelling case but I am not sure everything you say is right.

Where do you get "how are the brexiteers going to deal with more immigrants from outside Europe when they hate the the ones they already have that come from Europe.seems like a fair question to ask" the Brexiteers hate from?

When I first came here in 1993 the rates are as the link below.

The average over the year was 38.045 but who cares about facts on the Remainer forum?

The decision was made for a generation in 2018.

Since then of course we’ve had to endure the childish tantrums of those opposed to Democracy.

https://www.ft.com/content/80774838-e8f5-11e8-a34c-663b3f553b35

   

    Britain holds a second referendum

The most likely route to this outcome is that Mrs May’s pact fails to be approved; Labour then calls a motion of no-confidence in the government and it fails to pass; Labour and Conservative MPs then opt for a second referendum believing the other options (no-deal or renegotiation) to be untenable.
 

Another outcome of course, would be for the U.K to walk away and in so doing, carry out the Democratic wish of the British people.

I watched a programme last night were the guy mentioned that by March next year the death rate of Brexiteers meant that they would no longer have a majority, even if the same people voted in the same way. Natural selection can work even after only two years.

January 19 is the official "Crossover Day". Purely hypothetical, of course. It'll probably be earlier.
