webfact Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 UK's Labour questions whether successor to PM May would honour Brexit deal Britain's Prime Minister Theresa May arrives at church, as Brexit turmoil continues, in Sonning, Britain, May 5, 2019. REUTERS/Simon Dawson LONDON (Reuters) - A major sticking point in talks between Britain's government and opposition Labour Party is the lack of any guarantee that a successor to Prime Minister Theresa May would deliver on anyBrexit agreement, Labour's trade policy chief said on Sunday. May, who has offered to quit if lawmakers accept her Brexit deal, opened cross-party talks with Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party more than a month ago after parliament rejected her European Union withdrawal deal three times. Barry Gardiner told Sky News: "We don't know at this stage even if we could negotiate a deal, what we don't know is whether the successor to Theresa May would actually deliver on it and that's one of the big sticking points that we have."

Popular Post allane Posted May 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2019 After Theresa May gets her deal through Parliament and resigns, she will likely be replaced by someone from the "Hard Brexit" wing of the party Let's presume that it is a Boris Jonson. He can go to Brussels, raise his voice, and thump his fist on the table if he wants to. If that is what he does, he will come home with less, not more than what a Theresa May would have achieved. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not likely that TM will get her deal through once there is a second referendum and the article 50 document is withdrawn, unless you really do believe in fairy tales. 1 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post rodentwarrior Posted May 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2019 Theresa May's deal isn't a clean break with the EU. This is the problem. Brexiteers want a return to an Independent Great Britain, a so-called Hard Brexit. Rightly or wrongly, the British Taxpayer is very tired of sending money to Europe, while the UK struggles with funding its own services. The EU has bailed out corrupt Countries like Greece, without securing proper change, and ignoring the lies Greece told in order to join the club. The EU is a socialist cabal, using ideology as its guide. Economics has been quietly put aside. I think it's likely irrelevant, as the EU elections later this month will give a useful indication of how a General Election would play out. The referendum was clear enough. The majority of voters chose to leave the EU. Parliament has decided to usurp this clear decision, and muddy the water with noise and anti democratic nonsense. 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Krataiboy Posted May 13, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 13, 2019 (edited) It is not "her (May's) Brexit deal". It is the EU's. Brussels' patsy May should have resigned immediately after it was rightly rejected by Parliament first time around. The last thing we need is another Commons vote giving our slippery career politicians a fourth chance to sell us out. May must resign immediately and hope that the history books are kinder to her than she deserves Her replacement must be a committed Leaver who will deliver the Brexit 17.4 million Brits voted for - not one turning us into the toothless lapdog of a dying and dysfunctional Euro superstate.

Cobblers. 17.4 million voted leave, whatever definition you want to apply to "Brexiteer". They did not vote for a deal and certainly did not vote for another referendum on anything. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your definition of leave is never pay another penny and never speak again, I suggest you try leaving your wife and kids, when you share a house and business with them, refuse to speak to her or her lawyers and refuse to pay her another penny.

And how exactly would the UK high court be able to unilaterally change a bilateral agreement in international law? It’s remarkable how Brexiteers complain about being called uneducated fools while they don’t miss an opportunity to make a fool of themselves by commenting on issues they don’t have a clue about.

See how well that works out for you. Interesting analogy. Let me see. If I divorce my wife and leave my kids, I will speak to them every day. It makes relationships stronger. My wife (EU), however, won't be able to share my house (UK). She and her family (EU tourists) can visit whenever they like though. The kids (EU citizens) can visit any time they like and stay for longer as they like because bring more benefit to me (EU professionals and businesses). I would expect the same courtesy from my wife (EU) to take care of the kids (UK citizens, UK professionals and businesses) while staying with her (EU.) I have a business with my wife which is extremely beneficial to us both as well as the children (EU & UK businesses and citizens). However, if she decided not to do business with me, I would be happy to do business with others (WTO). I would actually find more business opportunities giving a greater profit too. She would be free to do business with whoever she wanted, but probably with a great loss as I (UK) have a major impact on her (EU) profitability. Now, if she starts playing the bitch card (EU tariffs, laws and regulations), then I will tell her where to get off, because I can do better without her than she can do without me. "I want to take my kids (EU citizens) to the cinema; you pay." "F you! I will take my kids (UK citizens) to the cinema." "I want to take my kids (EU citizens) to the beach for a holiday; you pay." "FF you! I will take my kids (UK citizens) to the beach for a holiday." So forth and so on. The best scenario is for both houses to be managed independently but come together for mutual benefit. Remember, there are plenty of fish in the sea (WTO). I (UK) am a big boy with lots of experience and potential, so I will always land on my feet. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As usual Farage deflects, rudely interrupts, tries to bully and bluster and says nothing meaningful. His wriggling to try and avoid really saying what his position on the NHS, that American style health insurance should replace it, is entertaining. He's a cheap spiv being bankrolled by someone for a purpose. But the Brexiteers lap up the drivel he spews out, regardless that most of it is not even close to being factual. He simply blames everything on the EU and asserts UK will be a land of milk and honey once we leave. He's already lined his own pockets and will piss-off again when it suits him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
