spooky you looked like that but with black hair :laugh:

Yes should I be moving my funds somewhere :worry:

Well, we don’t know what’s going to happen Cherie...so I advise a flipping good spending spree.:cheer2:

Not by the EU

We are leaving with no deal next Friday for sure...

As for St Jeremy, he will be too busy speaking with Hamas, Hezbollah and the IRA to speak with May...

Yet?

Corbyn has agreed to meet with the PM

Hopefully this new approach produces a deal that gets approved.

Even if No Deal had happened because of running out of time with no agreement, it would not be a politically sustainable situation with No Deal being opposed by at least two-thirds of MPs.

Brexiters need to deal with that reality.

Now that this thread is at 4K can we have a new Brexit thread where we can keep the title updated

He did last week or the week before and nothing changed

More kicking the can down the road I forsee

if corbyn supports May it will make him look like a statesman and "should" improve his chances at the next election. I don't think that's in his dna though, he will for ever be a protester blaming anyone else that he can.

I think so..

Don't see why he should support a deal he considers harmful.
May should have sought cross-party agreement before she went into negotiations not now after she produced her crappy deal.

There's no support for hard brexit whichever way you cut it.

The difference now is, apparently, even if they don't agree a plan, they will agree a set of options to be put to MPs, that will be followed by the government.

My fear is if this happens, that the MPs reject every option again.

It might change if Theresa is on board, most of her fanatic MPs (and cabinet ministers) seemed to have voted no to all the indicative options

One of the big problems in all of this is that this country isn't used to having minority governments and coalitions.

People expect political parties to stick to their manifesto promises made before elections, but when you have coalitions there has to be compromises. Look at the blame the Lib Dems got (and still do) for breaking their tuition fees policy, however that's what happens in coalitions.

The big danger now is that brexit will be in name only. Things like customs unions and free movement will get slotted straight back in. If that were to happen, it will empower the far right in the UK with millions of supporters and the next election will be carnage

I totally agree.
Maybe unsurprisingly as I support Labour.

Perhaps the reverse should apply, the minute she lost her overall majority, her manifesto was preferred but not actually endorsed.

She would have looked the Statesperson then had she fully consulted Corbyn and Labour on their plans.

Jeremy Corbyn is no lover of the EU.
He'd normally have more in common with the no deal groupings.
He has had to compromise on his position and has done so.

Something this PM has not done and even in this reaching out to Corbyn now, she still really hasn't yet.

I hope she does however and it's time she did.
I wish success and good luck to the talks between May and Corbyn.
I hope she is being genuine however and not just going through the motions.

i get where you are coming from, but to be a proper statesman, one does at some point need to think about the country and not just personal feelings or the party. May hasn't done it for a moment, and that will forever be how she is remembered, the worst prime minister, maybe ever.

What I am saying is that Corbyn has an opportunity to show that he is the bigger person, it may not sit well with him or his supporters, but it will with the country. Be a statesman rather than a protester.

If it’s going to be some super soft single market customs union Corbynite brexit.
I’d rather remain.

There’s no benefit over what we already have.
