Yeah right. > Bercow has said he will speak on this - technically you cannot bring the same motion again and again. It would be brave of him to tell her No. ERG (those interviewed) still saying they'll vote against as "Mays deal is not Brexit"

    Chaos Absolute Chaos Theresa May says there will be a long extension. Corbyn says he will take control :)
  5. I always get the feeling that little girl isn't 100% honest and the shopkeepers being fooled. But that's terribly cynical :)

    I think the leaders of countries like that might say different when they get to an EU summit than when they're with Banks and Farage down the pub (assuming the EU leaders are pushing an extension - and that means a genuine reason - note that a genuine reason if May's vote had passed would be to get the laws related to it through parliament) :) I also note that Kay Burley said to Michael Heseltine the polls hadn't changed then comes a Sky report from Derby which was 58% leave that the latest poll this weekend was 61% remain (comment: we don't totally trust in polls anymore)

    I always thoughtthe election was influenced a little by this type of pre-election promise Cameron made (50% + discounts on buying your home if you rent from a housing association. "Those in flats will get a 50 per cent discount, plus an extra 2 per cent for every year of occupation." https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/570310/David-Cameron-home-ownership-scheme-working-people The reality was this (between 9K and 16K discount) and the scheme failed https://www.ownyourhome.gov.uk/scheme/right-to-acquire/

    Spreadsheet Phil Hammond doing a good job of talking down No Deal now - but it'll just inflame the crazies :)

    May and Corbyn at it like two ferrets in a sack (one with a bad voice). It isn't a good look really.

    Flashing up on screens now "ERG says vote against" The PM has failed it seems (although we've said that before).

    Labour have issues - but Keir Starmer and colleagues are playing this well.
  15. Many children like to remain 3 or 4 weeks ahead of the class (I did once when I was young and clever). So it's not always personally falling behind rather than setting an example to those that need to catch up.

We can revoke A50 in an emergency scenario. Vince Cable (I know :) ) sees this as a genuine possibility. EU will extend for a General Election or a Peoples Vote.

    So Codpiece has said two things recently "Reduces the risk of being in the backstop indefinitely" - that's not going to be enough IMHO. "Bollocks" to Jon Snow :)

All citizens of the Island of Ireland and those eligible for an Irish Passport also get to keep freedom of movement (but as has been pointed out to me many eligible have partners etc. who won't have that right,

    Okay - Companies that look forward to Brexit and think they can expand - Sky News came up with one in Derby this morning (almost like they're reading the EDF) Norton Motorbikes.
  21. Once people stop using it due to charging ... it'll go. Don't use money a lot now - but it's not really a great moral way to go about removing ATMs

    Well She's gone to Strasburg. Would be quite happy if she got stuck there in the airport for a long time (like the guy in the film)

    Meanwhile back in the commons the Under secretary responded to Corbyns question and ... "Labour?s Kevin Brennan says it is customary on this occasion to says people have the monkey, not the organ-grinder. But on this occasion MPs have not even got the monkey, he says. And they have not even got the codpiece, he says."

Edit: Actually she probably means the UK when I think about it (remainers and leavers) - but this is a Commonwealth service - so she's being downright rude in that case.

    She may or may not travel to Strasburg tonight. Alternatively 'going to Strasburg' may actually be a euphemism.
