    You better be afraid if your currency starts falling against the dollar. The US has a dumb trade war that is already starting to come home to roost.

    The truly amusing thing is that the legal resolution of the NI backstop will never be tested. The next stage of Brexit would be a decade of trade negotiation and interminable meetings on issues no one is remotely interested in and everything would have been sorted without morons intruding. And that is why the EU are so heartily sick of this shit, the Brexit loony wing are deliberately contriving a situation whereby the EU/UK nexus is totally broken. Great news if you are a septic cock sucker and 3rd world exploitation corporate shill but pretty crap if you are a Joe Soap moron too fucking stupid to know his arse from a hole in the ground.

    ERG come out against Doris deal, will get voted down by similar numbers to last time now. Thank fuk for that as this morning was looking likely to be voted through. Still hope yet for a clean Brexit but surely when Doris loses the vote late she has to fuck off.

    ^^^ It was at £1.26 in January. It is £1.30 today after the 2 cent drop.

    A rumour of a 7 week extension might help the pound briefly, but I doubt the EU will agree to an extension even for a GE.

    There is only one deal on the table and the party in charge matters not a jot, unless they are offering the EU a deal that is even better for the EU than Maybot's deal.

    The only way I can see the EU granting an extension is for cold hard cash(it will be very expensive) or a legally binding referendum with Hard Brexit or Accept Remain/Maybot Deal as the choices on the ballot paper.

    What you see is uninformed and wrong as usual. The EU have already indicated that they would grant an extension for another referendum or GE.

    You are saying I'm wrong but then repeating exactly what I said.

    Try reading the post again slowly...even read aloud and sound out the big words.

    As I said in the post you quoted, the EU might grant an extension for cold hard cash, in that case they wont care if it for a GE or Xmas in April.

    But, can you explain how a GE is going to change the deal on the table?

    You said you doubt the EU would grant an extension for a GE when they have indicated they would. As I said you just lie and make stuff up.

    Looked good this morning because the bot announced a breakthrough, while waving a worthless piece of paper a la Chamberlain, when all she had done was change the wording to precisely the same as before. When a PM tries to blatantly scam pro scammers like those commonly found in the House, it's time for her not to leave but get booted out in disgrace.

    Her interests stretch no further than her own future, which she has sealed at the EU trough, and if Labour had any gumption at all they would do the same with Corbyn, for a chance at the big prize.

    of course nothing has changed, she has been bluffing the whole time and did these round trips to deceive you guys

    jesus christ, you guys are a bit slow, and naive

    Correct, I said it's doubtful the EU would grant an extension just because the UK decides to hold a GE but they might grant an extension for cold hard cash.

    Can you explain how a GE is going to change the deal on the table or any of the other options currently available?

    Another dreadful day for No 10

    As things stand the number of switchers seems far less than required to avoid another defeat for the prime minister. Last time out she was beaten by a record 230 votes.

    One cabinet minister guessed the number tonight might be around 150. Everyone is guessing still.

    But this looks like another dreadful day for Number 10, and another moment when doubts will be on display about not just the divorce deal with the EU, but about the prime minister's leadership too.

    Something has changed yes, but not enough.

    "Devastating" - that's how one influential Brexiteer described the attorney general's legal advice.

    Yes, the Brexiteer lawyer Geoffrey Cox says the negotiations with the EU and tweaks to the deal have reduced the risk of the UK being stuck in the controversial backstop for ever and a day.

    That's why last night, Theresa May and Jean-Claude Juncker looked so thrilled and delighted to have managed to broker something.

    But what Mr Cox also says clearly is that the risk still exists.

    Without going through the minutiae of the three-page legal opinion, in short, he has given the prime minister a fig leaf to try to patch a gaping political hole, rather than a generous cover with room to spare.

    imo the EU have recklessly overplayed their hand if the current shambles leads to a GE in which May does not stand. Corbyn's a serial deadbeat, so the Tories will win again even without a majority, and if this results in a sincere Brexiteer taking No 10 we actually could end up with the EU's worst nightmare, no deal, no money beyond legal obligations, and WTO.

    From another thread, and suited to what we are witnessing:

    Because it will be good practice for the EU. Post Brexit, that is exactly where the EU will be. UK is leaving, one way or another. Might be sooner, or later, but they are leaving.

    You should also be practicing humility and drafting begging letters to the IMF. ��

    ^Have you not noticed when there is a meeting between the UK/EU the UK always has to travel to Europe, but the EU very rarely travels to the UK.

    That dynamic illustrates the balance of power perfectly..

    The fact you think something is going to change after Brexit is back to Lalaland and herds of unicorn romping in the dew of a golden dawn.
