This specific decision was made after (and probably in light of) the Brexit vote, and only "refuels speculation" that they were planning to try to get more cash out of the UK if it had been remain. We will never actually know the truth there. It will always be speculation.

I do feel that the EU will be in trouble with one of its cornerstones removed and it may well not last in its current form; Brexit voters will always assume that this was us "getting out just in time", rather than considering the possibility that "getting out" was the catalyst for the whole thing ceasing to work.

We could muse over these things until the cows come home though; we can't try both paths and see both outcomes, we can only continue on the path we're on, and the rest is nothing more than "what ifs" and guesswork.

I'm sure that's going to prove delightfully popular with all the other states who will lose rebates.

Britain is behind Brexit - it!s official.

[Scarlett.]

Yes, yes, yes, we're leaving the EU, I believe this has been debated to death and there is no point crying over milk that has been spilt so long that it has begun to grow fungus.

I think it's more that everyone knows they can't so much as breathe the words "I voted remain" without being screamed at for being unpatriotic.

Yep, especially since a lot of remainers, like me, voted as much for patriotic reasons as many leavers did. I believed, and still believe this country is stronger in Europe.

Mmmm fungus

I'm happy with brexit... I would not be happy with a tory brexit.

Saw a guy say h wouldn't trust may with a two piece jigsaw....couldn't have put it better myself!

The maternity unit at the main hospital used by Theresa May’s local constituents is so severely understaffed that wards are running with only a quarter of the nurses they need, potentially putting mothers’ and babies’ lives at risk.

The Royal Berkshire hospital’s staffing data shows that on some days in March its delivery suite lacked two-thirds of the nurses it needed to provide safe care, while the midwife-led unit had as few as a third of the preferred number nurses on duty, despite evidence that staff shortages increase the risks of childbirth.

Even the high-risk antenatal ward, where the most vulnerable unborn children receive intensive monitoring, was 50% to 75% short of nurses during some shifts.

Kizzy why are you worrying about babies when there are terrorists out there running loose? It won't matter if there are enough nurses to safely care for the newborns IF THE HOSPITAL GETS BLOWN TO PIECES IN HOLY FIRE!!

As I said on another thread just now; my gut feeling is still with a Tory majority of roughly the same size as the current one. Though to be fair, that would still be an OK-ish result.

(I should clarify; OK-ish compared to a Tory landslide. )

[Tom4784]

Britain supports Brexit....by voting in a Tory government that will u-turn on their hard stance and give in to the EU and take any deal that's offered?

[JTM45]

This very silly thread looks even sillier this morning - it's official.

[Scarlett.]

Soft Brexit pls.

[Cherie]

I reckon we will get a second referendum

Preach, most Leavers will argue that we should respect democracy but strangely enough it's only when the vote goes their way.

I hope we don't. I'm beyond hoping that people will learn from their mistakes but they do need to pay the price for voting in ignorance.

Sorry Cherie, that won't happen.

[Kizzy]

I'd rather a second election than referendum

[Northern Monkey]

Well in the cold light of day i'd have to disagree with the article.I'd say the remain dog has barked just not in the Lib Dems camp.

[Kizzy]

The idea of a Labour brexit appealed to me, I'm a supporter of nationalisation.

There is a lot of support out there from Europe for the U.K. despite the EUs attempt to persuade us otherwise.

Yes because a Swedish MEP speaks for 27 member states

Laughable 'journalism'
