EU net migration to the UK is down from 189,000 (in the year before the referendum), to 74,000 (in the year to June 2018), which is great news if you're racist/xenophobic. Unfortunately for EDL-type wankers, non-EU net migration is up to 248,000 per year, its highest level since 2004.

Almost like we have a quota of how many people to let in of which we have full control over, weird.
 
Can I get a brief update on this? It is all very confusing. It seems that all agree that it's a bad idea yet they persist....

Doesn't Plan B have to be sorted in 3 days following the vote (should the vote be defeated)
3 DAYS? With this government

Yes though factor this in
Tuesday late goverent will probably loose vote
Wednesday... Pmq's... Probably followed by no confidence motion
Thursday... No confidence motion probably debated (and defeated)
Friday... Present plan b

So yeah clearly no enough time to do anything other than to say meh it's my deal or no deal.

How can the government accept something knowing full well the EU will reject it? Surley this means May's deal is out of the window.

Presumably the plan is going to be find out what would make the deal acceptable to parliment
Then demand that of the EU
When they tell her to jog on they can paint it as the nasty EU being unfair and say it's the EU's fault we are now having a hard brexit...
I mean it's a stupid idea but I'm not sure I can think of another reason for doing it
 
She's kicking the can until Hollywood makes the movie, like how they miraculously turned Mrs Thatcher into Elizabeth I.
 
I'm not sure why they are even bothering with these discussions. Its not getting through parliament, so why not just move to the next round of talks now and look at either a postponement, a new referendum, or no deal. They are the only options left.

11 weeks tomorrow.

Stupidity is the answer. Always stupidity.

That tweet is misleading on both counts, it mainly just puts into writing Mays previous promise that MPs will get a say on the direction i.e backstop, extend or a 3rd way. None of it impacts the withdrawal agreement and Swire has said as much although I'm assuming he's a puppet in raising this.

Simple answer: no you can't. There is no clear picture at the moment of what's happening or what will happen. The major parties are in chaos, and when Brexit day arrives in less than 90 days from now we could end up with any outcome ranging from not leaving at all to a complete and total crash out with nothing in place to cushion the fall. And right now there's absolutely no way of telling which is the more likely.

Reports that Corbyn will call for an extension of Art 50 tomorrow (following on from Starmer’s statement earlier that the 29 March deadline is not achievable). The problem is what does “extension” actually mean and on what grounds would the EU 27 grant it? Probably for a referendum but presumably not for a continuation of the unicorn hunt of the last 2 years.

Maybe he presume that they'll just grant it simply because he asked nicely.

This is because of an EU trade deal.

You have to wonder if Brexiteer shit-heads like this guy are deliberately trolling at this point?

That tweet has my piss boiling. I'm not sure he really understands or he's waving a big feck you at us.

I think the lifting of the ban is something independent of the Japan trade deal but i could be wrong.
 
Just got an interesting email at work this morning asking for volunteers to work in filling stations in the event of fuel shortages to ensure fuel is only distributed to organisations providing key functions, essentially emergency vehicles and healthcare workers. :nervous:

Fecking hell. You’re in Norn Iron, right?
 
EU: Right Mr Corbyn and Mr Starmer, what would you like to talk about?

C&S : We'd like to put A50 on hold while we convince you to let us have full access to the single market without adhering to the 4 freedoms, we'd like to be part of a customs union but applying our own tariffs and negotiating our own trade deals , oh and by the way we don't want to pay anything for the privilege.

EU: Mrs May tried to bluff her way with a two of diamonds and a three of clubs, what cards do you have?

C&S: We have are a pair of jokers.

EU: Goodbye Mr Corbyn and Mr Starmer.
