Clearly a young man’s game. Us gammons need to rely on the written word.
You are rather optimistic that the UK would have decided what it wants and is actually feasible by 2027.
The Brexit rapporteur for German chancellor Angela Merkel’s CDU party has urged UK politicians not to cause a no-deal Brexit by accident, the Press Association reports. Detlef Seif said:
"The discussion in the United Kingdom has created the impression that a lot of options for action are possible. But only three options exist: To agree to the deal that is on the table, to revoke the withdrawal notification, or to delay the exiting day.
We must urge our British friends that a delay is only possible if the UK takes part in the European parliament elections."

That is surprising, I would have thought the last thing the EU wants is the UK involved in its forthcoming elections. It would be like going looking for a gas leak with a naked flame.
Say what you like about the DUP, and many people have
This is easy for them though, as their position on this is the same as their position on everything else. No.
I think he is just making sure that people are aware of the ramifications of a long delay. Nothing new.
I've stopped listening to the EU leaders, they're trying to be seen as supportive of a fellow leader but from the mixed messages it's clear they want a soft brexit instead.
The EU insisted the political declaration was part of the package approved so when they send these messages out they can't pretend changing it isn't an option. We know it is
Yes but if the UK completely change their stance then it's going to take a lot longer.
Changing is an option but there is still only one withdrawal agreement even if the political declaration is changed. If for example the UK suddenly said, OK we'll have a BINO and stay in the CU and SM the WA would have to be rewritten but there's nothing in parliament that is suggesting that at all.
Yes that's true, but we've been in the 'Groundhog day' mode so long now I can't see anything changing until either the No deal kicks in or there is a revocation of A50 and both seem as equally unlikely now after yesterdays pantomime.
Looks that way at the moment. Nothing on the horizon seems to suggest that's going to change.
Trying to think of any solution that can simultaneously have a chance of passing the Commons and not cause the ERG/DUP to bring down the government is very tricky now.
The best I can come up with is a vote to ratify the WA, with a guaranteed referendum on the future relationship to decide between Norway+ and May’s Political Declaration. Basically take the two extremes (no-deal and remain) off the table and offer a referendum on the ‘moderate’ future options.
Could it pass the commons with Labour support?

Metal wire connecting the 2 rails will appear as if there is a train present and stop other trains being able to run
Jokes on them. Our trains don’t run anyway.
You realise Dunkirk was a retreat? Also why the feck would Ireland leave the EU and why on earth do you think they should be put in that position because of something GB voted for (and NI voted against)? Bloody hell.
The VAST majority of people in NI do not want a border in Ireland - in fact I'd say almost 100% of people with those who want it probably utterly insane. On this issue the DUP represent almost nobody in NI.
Most people who voted for Brexit had no clue about the GFA.
And most still don't to be honest
So they're going to vote just on the WA which is a bit pointless.
A rather obvious trap
A rather obvious trap
From what I'm reading this vote tomorrow would simply be to decide whether leaving with a WA is the new default position?
If that's the case then what happens if the government brings back the same deal for a third meaningful vote? The Speaker has already said that May can't put the exact same deal back in for a third vote if there's no drastic changes to it so what? The government votes in favour of leaving with a WA as the default but there's no WA available to actually go for?

Cheers. That's almost terrorism.
My guess, the government take it as passing the entire thing and give approval to the EU. Not sure if they can but I'd bet that's what they'll do.
Essentially a con for the speaker to allow MV3.
I’d say it is.
Yeah it would be sorted pretty quickly, but if it happened all over the place, constantly it would be a bit of a nightmare
Can anyone in laymans term explain to me what on earth is going on, particularly why have the MPs rejected her deal TWICE already, but may possibly accept it THIRD TIME ROUND if she promises to leave as PM. Surely its not about her, but the contents and agreements in the deal?
I know hence why the comment. Ie backpaddling back into the EU..
Where have I said that Ireland should leave the EU? What I said is that Ireland should be supported financially in an event of a no deal Brexit however if they choose the GFA over their EU membership then that decision should be respected. You're right to say that its unfair for Ireland to be impacted by something the GB voted for. However its also unfair and unacceptable for the entire continent to be held hostage to the whims of Westminster on something the GB voted for as well. So if the UK can't decide which way to go then it should be pushed out of the door.
I can't believe we're voting for this deal again in its current form. JUST GET THE BACKSTOP REMOVED. Offer concessions on other red lines, staying in the single market, staying in the customs union, whatever.
NEGOTIATE FFS. >_<
NEGOTIATE FFS. >_<
If the UK stayed in the Single Market and Customs Union there wouldn't be a need for the backstop. On the other hand if the UK remained in the Customs Union and the Single Market there wouldn't be a need for Brexit full stop.
But her stepping down is only to get the Tories to vote for it which won't be enough , need some Labour/DUP/SNP to vote for it as well.
Europe can't be expected to keep dancing to the tunes of ignorant people who voted for something despite having no idea how it will impact their lives especially since they keep insisting on it. Don't forget that for most people in Europe the politicians at Westminster are bureaucrats none of us had voted for.
Brexit means Brexit and its really time for you guys to get on with it. After all a no deal is still better then a bad deal right?

People who voted for Brexit didn't fecking know Ireland was partitioned, never mind a peace agreement.
Lost track of the amount English people I've met over the years who are woefully clueless about this island.
Fixed that for you.
Exactly the type of thing the ERG want you to champion. No deal Brexit, and we get to blame the EU for it too!
Excellent.

Yet they expect Europe's patient to be infinite simply because the majority of UK voters are......
Do you think that a gym owner cares what the person who left the gym thinks of him?
Well they obviously do if people are still in the gym after 29.03.19.
