"We should have taken the deal then,"


it was a very bad deal (all brexit deals are) and would have led to all manner of problems


Checking with the country to see if they have changed their mind is the only grown up thing to do - staying in is by some distance the best deal and I think enough people know that now

I started listening to Iain Dale on LBC last night and realised I have just had enough of listening to people who are pro Brexit. I switched over. Getting to the end of my resistance. Part of me just wants to see certain people try and explain away the shit when it hits the fan.

The Guardian has managed to put up a little article about polling today - totally coincidental of course.

I have long felt that in order to fully exorcise Brexit once and for all, No Deal has to happen, otherwise there will always be the blame game, ''We didn't get a clean Brexit'' etc etc, and as you say let them own their shit and explain it away. But the damage it would cause at home and abroad, socially and economically, is too great to not and try to resist it. Feck 'em.


Going back to Hemingway's last post, I have no issue with Remain MPs who voted against the WA, they have done it with good intentions, the politicians I have come to despise are the Rudds and Hancocks who in the space of days have gone from saying how bad No Deal would be to saying it'll be ok, for no other reason than pursuing their own political careers. It's these people that if No Deal happens will have a special place in Hell...

It may be - but the Tories are never going to do this and with Corbyn up top nor are Labour. The rest haven't got the numbers. I also think you're very optimistic on the 'enough people' looking at the polls and voting intentions. I think we're pretty much where we were.

"their rejection of May's deal is why we are where we are."


But that rejection is simply a refelection of how ill-defined "Brexit" is


You might think that May's deal is some kind of compromise that would be a foundation for a way forward - but it would have been a house built on sand


Complaining about a no deal AND about the state of May's deal are in no way incompatible positions - both were and are awful ideas. There are other ways forward but noone wants to grasp that nettle

If the WA had been voted through we wouldn't now being facing no deal.

      I am keeping my fingers crossed the next few days are not so loud. I honestly think it is the private, back garden displays that are most problematic as, in general, there is no way of knowing when and where they might happen. For those letting off a few bangers in the garden I get it is tempting to think what's the harm in a few minutes of 'fun', but it is the absolute randomness of sudden bangs that can do irreparable damage to people and animals. With organised events that are well advertised there is some forewarning at least, and the hope is that organisers of such events can be persuaded to adopt and make a virtue of using only low noise displays in future.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
