I guess here is as good a place as any to post this:

 

Thanks for posting this. I have a copy of the full Withdrawal Agreement (treaty) but it's really tough going - typical of all EU treaties! This summary shows why this so-called deal is so poor and not even a deal in any case. How many more years would a deal take to be reached? Who knows?

 

The Irish issue is so important but the VDO highlights the other main problems. I can only hope that some of the leave MPs who seem to have changed their minds may have had legal advice identifying a loophole or two that would enable us to slip out of this flytrap.

I'm not too sure about Nick Boles being reasonable, it would appear his facination for Jess Philips is marring (pun intended) his ability to respect the wishes of his constituents. Did you see his tweet where he said "he finds her irresistable and would walk over hot coals for her," most of the papers are calling him "creepy" for that tweet, at the very least he shudda gone to specsavers. And with his clandestine meetings with her and some other members of the Labour Party, maybe his loyalties have veered into loveland, his party deserves better from him.

Strange choice of words about a woman, from a gay MP. Maybe he likes hot coals? Kinky.

When all else fails there is always the cheque book.

 

The prime minister is expected to offer fresh guarantees on the Irish backstop, as well as the prospect of more funding for Northern Ireland, as she battles to secure the DUP's crucial backing for her exit plan.

Dozens of Tory Eurosceptics are likely to fall into line if the DUP's ten MPs agree to vote for the deal, allowing Ms May to hold a third "meaningful vote" on the plan this week. If she cannot win the DUP's support, however, then plans for a Commons vote on Tuesday are likely to be scrapped.

But the fact remains that many Brexiteers are quick to brand Remain MPs representing Leave constituencies as hypocrites for not resigning, but for Brexit MPs to continue to represent Remain constituencies.

The first half of this is correct but I've seen nothing to support the latter.

One other thought. Isn't the obligation of an MP at the vote for the triggering of article 50 to support the view of his constituents but once that has been resolved isn't it then their obligation to support in its entirety the process for leaving having due regard to their preferred leave deal but without regard to any other issue like another referendum or a leave in name only?

Bercow has just delivered a very strong statement

 

He will NOT allow an unchanged debate in May's deal

[Jip99]

He has ruled out a vote on the "same motion"

 

 

 

Deal......... or no deal......... it is coming down to the wire.

Erskine May! Seventeenth century precedent! JRM wriggling with joy! Fabulous.

I, too, have yet to see any Brexiteer call for the resignation of a Leave supporting MP who represents a Remain constituency; let alone accuse one of hypocrisy.

 

Will you now do so?

My only observation is that the Brexit "debate" has proven to be hugely divisive and has now deteriorated to what resembles a schoolyard squabble.

[wilcopops]

Brexit has ridden rough-shod over the UK constitutional set up.... it has depleted the UK economy and made the UK the laughing stock of the world. 

Search this and every other thread and you'll find no concrete reason for it.... please don't cite sovereignty that's just an archaic concept from the Boy's Own Book of B/S.

Who in the UK loses their freedom of movement on less than a 2 percent majority?

Fortunately it is only the population and not individuals, the benefit of a justice system rather than perverse interpretation of democracy.

The dictionary refers to "the wishes of most of the people" but for some reason the UK seems to think that "most" means potentially an inconclusive number. The referendum was fundamentally flawed from day one.

They didnt mean to start the whole Brexit thing again, they meant to close this years  Parliament session and open a new parliament sessions , to get around one vote per topic per year rule

For once the poisoned dwarf was right. Treason May was just trying the old EUSSR trick of making people vote again and again till she got the right answer.

Whilst I've little doubt that Piers Morgan is far from a 'nice' person - blair is even less so....

 

With a bit of luck he'll tear blair apart.  Not that it will make any difference, as blair still thinks he's popular amongst the electorate ????.

This debate is just like the people trying to get onto the Titanic. Remoaners are saying that the ship is destined for great things. Brexiteers are saying "don't get on, there are not enough lifeboats."

And, as we now know the Titanic didn't do so well. Just like the ship; the EU is doomed. Our country saved by astute voters; as will be evident at the EU elections.

A load of old ship.

You are free to go and live in the EUSSR any time you want. Good riddance.
