The NHS is ****ed one way or another. It was a great concept, but given it's massive success, it has made itself unviable in the long term. It's unsustainable. We can watch it die slowly over the next 20 or so years or we can modernize it's concept, that's the reality

Not necessarily, with proper funding and management it is sustainable, the problem with the NHS is that their are too many Chiefs and not enough Indians and it needs a complete overall with how its run and funded

The expectation is that with the help of the Labour Party it will be a No Deal Brexit on 12 April.

The Labour Party, in spite of what they bluster are 100% in favour of a Hard No Deal Brexit

This is because St Jeremy wants it, as he wants to enact the 1983 Labour Party manifesto to leave the EEC, (with No Deal??), when he entered the House of Commons

Six million signatures calling to cancel the result of the biggest democratic vote in UK history. And I'd like a proper recount on the 6m to ensure they're all eligible to vote in the UK.

Only a few Labour MP's
would have No Deal in 2019.

All the rest Half Conservatives / Most of Labour
and All of SNP and others are 100% Blocking No Deal.


The PM is now refusing a No Deal option.

So April the 12th
is fecked, as well.

They can all vote for the Moon to be made of Purple Cheese, that would be a more meaningful vote

We are leaving on 12 April with no deal by default, END OF

I thought they were meeting to shore up their no deal plans and to tell the UK it can stew in it's own juice

with them meeting on the 10th, if we are looking for a further extension, that would be when we request it. There are still loads of possible alternatives at this point, albeit too close to the deadline for comfort

They’re not.
I’ve read of people getting their kids to sign it and creating email accounts for newborns to sign.Not to mention foreigners finding ways to sign.

i don't see how signing an on line petition is a stronger message than the many more millions that put crosses on a ballot paper

If all the members of parliament simply voted for what their individual constituencies voted for then it would be so much more straight forward....and honest.

I think given the current circumstances the SNP may well consider a one-term coalition with Labour, if doing so would result in a majority government.

Possibly with the caveat being a second indy referendum at the end of that term.

No chance, Labour always refuse to work with any other political party and always have. They always stand a candidate in every constituency, even when that splits the opposition vote and lets the Conservatives in.

Anyway this is all moot

We're Leaving without a deal etc...
