Should the UK remain a member of the EU

[Anny Road]

Not sure how I feel about this.

Not enough info just now. It's obvious we are leaving the 'Political Union' but staying in an economic one with no political input.

Horses for course I suppose and I am prepared to suck it up to politically distance ourselves from EU. But for the first time I am thinking. Fuck it just leave.

This option seems the worst early, middle road, doomed to fail deal available.

 

I dont have a clue and I am no Rees Mogidishoo

Been 3 hours now. Not as smooth as she'd hoped..............

As far as I can tell, the difference between an economic union and a political one is that in the latter you get a say in the standards and the terms of trade you have to adhere to.

I'm not quite sure it's as simple as all that, why were the powers that be in Westminster so eager to keep Scotland in the Union in 2014 if we cost them so much money?

 

Plenty of other smaller countries manage fine without England Morris Dancing in to save the day.

 

Leave our Morris Dancing alone, you jumped up ginger Jock twat.

Early? 2 and a half years to get a divorce deal written up with around 150 days left to agree it or otherwise crash out facing shortages of food and medicine. If that's early I look forward to what the late deal will be.

 

Anyways you won, get over it. The UK is about to break up and become the world's bitch where the mighty Moldova are denying us entry to the equally political WTO. What a fall from grace. Has a nation in any era voted for a self-enforced famine?

[Captain Turdseye]

She’s coming out now. 

[Megadrive Man]

A few sources saying letters of no confidence going in as the Tories try and oust May.

[Megadrive Man]

May now saying that the cabinet  has agreed to back her.

[Anubis]

Quelle surprise. Rats to a piece of wood.

You’ve always been pro-brexit no?

[Denny Crane]

Remember some of the people who can't take Mays deal have already resigned from the cabinet. So it is the commons where her problems are. Saying that just saw this.  The last time she said something similar there were a few resignations Davies and Johnson within a few days.

Interesting that PM said her cabinet agreed "collectively" rather than "unanimously" - we're clearly still on resignation watch

Did I read it right, May has said No Brexit is a possibility?

Apparently so. But then I saw that it might have been a slip up.

So VAT and excise for example? EU and ECJ has jurisdiction over those and can penalise the UK for breaking them. 

 

Not sure what the point of leaving is to be honest. This will be knocked back for sure. 

[clangers]

This appears to be as close as May can get to keeping us in the EU without having any say that is. Brexiteer's are going to explode. I'm guessing there will be a leadership challenge triggered within 24 hours? She'll win but we're beginning to see the Tory party unravel finally.

 

Interesting post I read on one of the news sites suggested she was anywhere from 38 to 88 votes short of getting this through parliament at the moment. The lower figure was based on 45 Labour MP's voting in support.

That’s all she wrote

At least until 2099..... 

[Brownie]

I don’t see how May survives this, it’s a total clusterfuck.

[Oh Buoy]

My head hurts after reading that and I'm at the conclusion that brexit means punching yourself in the bollocks. 

[Gnasher]

Tories fighting like ferrets in a sack. The leave vote was the greatest thing to happen to this country for many year.

 

Where's your austerity now Osbourne? Let the real  battle commence.  Bring it on.
