Me neither, just hoping it would be something that changed the course of events.

I bet she can't believe her luck that Trump is in office as well to divert attention away from the mess the UK has become.

I feel that Macron and others feel the same.:wenger:

But what if the Labour party leader had been better than Corbyn, she may have lost power completely.
May is a terrible PM but Corbyn is just as hopeless as an opposition leader, he could have had her for breakfast in parliament but didn't.
He's just waiting for May to really foul up and get in power through the back door hoping he'll get elected by default.

if labour had a different leader they would have far less grassroot support and would definitely lose

It's a thing the rest of the world won't understand, and certainly not the Irish, but most English people consider themselves as neutrals, caught up in Irish issues only because of historic responsibility.

Average Joe English would like nothing more than Northern Ireland to be a separate country, stand-alone, one Ireland, something else, they don't care and haven't for a couple of generations.

Well there's a bit more to it than simply saying historic responsibility but a lot of Irish people would agree with you.
There's a certain percentage in Northern Ireland that don't and it's not hard to work out who they are.
The funny thing is that they don't see themselves as British but as wannabe English. That's the problem, they never see Scotland / Wales as an example and it stunts progress.

How do you know?

I guess nobody can know until it happens, in the same way we can't know before it happens a Tory govt will seek to restrict funding to the NHS but it tends to always be a safe bet.

Certainly I'm not confident that a weak Tory leader beholden to hard-right back-benchers and right-wing, homophobic, religious nutjobs in Northern Ireland won't seek an opportunity to weaken certain rights, protections, freedoms and safety standards when it comes to enshrining these things into UK law.
 
Very good thread. Once again highlights the fundamental misunderstanding's that get perpetuated concerning Northern Ireland.

Yeah it seem he still doesn't understand.

I think he does make some fair points in regards to how often you'll complaints of "Just get on with it!" on Question Time etc. There's definitely an obsession with simplifying the whole process, and trying to strip it of all complexity when doing so isn't really possible.
 
As the finance ministry calculates it takes between nine and 22 months to train a customs officer, the Dutch government has green-lighted immediate recruiting, training, tendering of contracts and organising of housing.

Mr Snel wrote to Dutch MPs: "The divisions within the British Conservative Party and the remaining lack of clarity about the British input continue to impede the smooth running of the negotiations.

"It is therefore clear that the scenario that the UK leaves the EU on 29 March 2019 without a withdrawal agreement and without a transitional period is still conceivable.

"The red lines of the UK for the future relationship with the EU (leaving the internal market and customs union) mean that the trade relationship can not go much further than a trade agreement like the one the EU has concluded with Canada."

The Netherlands prepping for a hard Brexit.
 
I find it hilarious how Davies expect an entire continent to negotiate with 1 small country regarding regulations. It gets even more ridiculous that a Brexiter hopes that the EU will trust the UK, considering that

a- it refuse to commit in writing that it will be pay what it owes
b- most Brexiteers had made it quite obvious that they want the EU to fail

I wonder what the reaction would be if the EU does a Brexit UK by giving the UK false hopes on a deal only to pull out (no transition deal, nothing) at the last moment.
 
With these accusations of Corbyn spying maybe we are in for a re-run of the Zinoviev letter. This time the Sun instead of the Mail.
 
I can see the similarities between Ronaldo/Messi and Johnson/Davis.
Difference is Ronaldo and Messi score lots of goals in the opposition's net but Johnson and Davis score lots of own goals.

Is it Liam Fox up next in the Road to Nowhere series? Should be some pearls of wisdom to have a good chuckle at.
 
Theresa May wants Brexit when the UK is ready - an open-ended transition deal. To be more exact, from now till then.
 
Remember the Big Red Bus that Leavers claimed afterwards didn't exist
