webfact Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 EU's Tusk tells UK: 'Don't waste Brexit overtime' European Council President Donald Tusk holds a news conference after an extraordinary European Union leaders summit to discuss Brexit, in Brussels, Belgium April 11, 2019. REUTERS/Yves Herman BRUSSELS (Reuters) - European Council President Donald Tusk told Britain on Thursday not to waste the extra time to sort out Brexit after the EU agreed a second delay to London's departure until Oct.31. "Please don't waste this time," Tusk told a news conference after eight hours of EU leaders' talks on the matter. He said Britain still had all the options on Brexit available during the extension, from approving the stalled divorce deal, to changing its leave strategy to cancelling the departure altogether. EU leaders would review the situation at their regular summit in June. "June is not a cliff-edge, or a moment to take new decisions, it must be clear," Tusk said. "June is not for decisions about extension. My intension is even not to discuss, but only to inform member states about the situation."

Khun Paul Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Considering the UK parliament has rules out a No Deal options, it is up to the children currently serving as MPs to grow up and sort out this debacle brought on by their own childish squabbling . So lets us hope they can all grow a pair and behave sensibly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baerboxer Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Unless something fundamental really changes the deluded May will continue kicking the can down the road and harping on about how wonderful her deal is and why parliament must accept it even though it's been voted down 3 times including a record government defeat. Wise advise Mr Tusk but sadly falling on deaf ears. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevenl Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 Too late, time is being wasted. First talk of ouster of May, so in June either May in the saddle or a new head there. In the mean time nothing is being done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post bartender100 Posted April 11, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted April 11, 2019 There has to be a bigger picture somewhere, even May is not thick enough to realize No Deal is not a problem Could it be the UK leaving will cause the collapse of the EU, very possible, and the problems that causes could be catastrophic? Just a muse, as I am a strong leaver and looking for a reason why she is risking everything, the Tory party and democracy . The far right is growing in Europe, the dominoes could fall quickly if the UK leave 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presumably to make a lot of money fast unlike expat Brexit supporters who are happy to loose it fast even though it makes no difference them as the endless bleating of take back control rings out and means absolutely nothing at the 90 day IO report all rather British hypocrisy really. Boris marched them to the top of the hill and Junker marched them down and the rest is history the end???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bristolboy Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 Actually, I see no reason why this saga won't go on forever. Unless a general election drastically changes the configuration of Parliament, why not an endless succession of delays? It will soon turn into a kind of joke. Coming soon, Brexit & Jesus!

welovesundaysatspace Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 1 hour ago, tebee said: No deal was never a credible threat Of course it’s not. The smarter Brexiteers (Jacob and some of his bully boys) of course know that. That’s why they keep on the sidelines comfortably from where they can shout their insults and spread hatred without risking to take responsibility for anything. Then there are the poor fools and tools like Davis and Raab. It’s funny that the spoonies keep dreaming of a Brexiteer PM. None of the smarter Brexiteers would ever take that job. Shouting “no deal” from the sidelines is one thing. In the end, no one of them would want to be responsible for the crash. That would leave them in the very same situation May is in — enraging their base of riff-raff by having to agree to a deal on the EU’s terms. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
