    Fucking LOL.

    Theresa May's Lancaster House speech setting out her vision for Brexit was one of the worst decisions a politician has ever made.

    She set out a path that she wanted the UK to have, post withdrawal with the EU, and detailed the sunlit uplands free of all of those penny-hungry immigants, with trade policies 'taken back' from Brussels and a bucaneering new relationship with the EU and the rest of the world. No border erected in Ireland on her watch.

    She literally created a trilemma that she has stuck to doggedly in the face of reality for almost 2 full years. Yes she fired the two advisers (Nick Timothy is some piece of work) who were instrumental in creating that policy, but ultimately the shit sticks to her.

    That Lancaster House speech has resulted in the EU seeing what the UK thinks it wants, and showing them how to get there. Recall 'Barnier's Slide'? The WA that she cannot get her Parliament to pass is predicated entirely on what the UK wants to be in relation to the EU. The EU worked with the UK to come to this arrangement that could facilitate a change from today's position within the EU to that of the future outside.

    She veered drastically to the right of the UK Parliament's wishes on Brexit (even if the majority of them voted to enact A50 to compound their earlier fuck ups under Cameron) in an effort to unite the Conservative Party around the middle ground of Euro-scepticism, kind of like saying the 'nice bit' of Cardiff, and decided to completely avoid any effort whatsoever at a consensus led exit. She alienated the opposition (who are due a serious amount of criticism for their subterfuge) to the point of making it apparent, even to those of us who believe that oppositions should sometimes support Govt business and vice versa, that opposing for the sake of opposing was probably +EV play.

    She rammed through bill after bill, in a precariously balanced HoC, destroying instead of curating faith in her Govt's ability to listen to the voices around them to try to chart a realistically achievable path out.

    GTFO

      There's your problem. She doesn't want that, among lots of other things she doesn't want that are all happening at once.

                  I'm a bit confused. Why was the vote so tight?

                  I thought it was just fringe elements that were happy to crash out?

                    Won’t give the info the clicks but just fucking lol, how does a grown adult stand up in court and say this shit with a straight face, that’s what they are getting the big bucks for I guess
                    Anglo Irish Bank behaved in a “morally reprehensible” manner towards Sean Quinn’s children when they signed guarantees for loans of hundreds of millions of Euro aimed at propping up its falling share price, the High Court has been told.

                    These five young people were ignorant of the bank’s true financial position when they signed guarantees in 2007 and 2008 and were never contacted by Anglo about the guarantees, Bernard Dunleavy SC said. “It did not even know their ages.”

                      Have been doing my best to avoid Brexit news one I heard about the “malt house compromise “ the absolute pomposity of the phrase makes me puke a bit.
                      Is tonight’s drama dream stuff for us?
                      Is there any metaphorical (or even better real) American history x style public kerbstomping of Rees Mogg on the horizon?

                              This is the latest time of many that you underestimate the stupidity of Tories or MP's in general.

                                Depends on what you were taking him on in.

                                You would knock him out, prime or not, in forum based horse racing side bet spamotion.

                                    DUP understand they will likely be punished and disappear as quick as the UUP did after GFA if they actually win the removal of the backstop.
                                    They are currently busy working out some new magic words that will allow them to look less stupid when they support May's deal next week.
                                    That leaves the ERG and threatening them with allowing a free vote on 2nd referendum might be just enough to get her the numbers.

                                    Hilarious to hear the ERG fools coming out one after another tonight hanging on desperately by their fingernails to the 'The taking no deal off the table vote is not legally binding' line. Not a single commentator I heard came back at them with the obvious reply of 'Neither was the fucking referendum you fucking moron

                                          I was a little late to the game but I've been following it the past couple of months and I look forward to his new posts.

                                            That's why I say the last 6 months has all been bluster. Everybody knows they have to accept the deal, but nobody can publicly say that. That's why it all looks so fucking weird.

                                              I still think they could drive themselves off a cliff, there's no personal gain for being sensible here, and there's a million people to blame when it goes wrong, politically it's probably GTO to keep fudging and blame everyone else.

                                                    I'm ever more convinced that no deal exit on 29/3 is the best option to resolve the whole thing .

                                                                                          “He’s better than trump” probably applies to everyone even thinking about running

                                                                                          Robert Francis is not offering anything new,his voting record isn’t particularly progressive, he’s charismatic and handsome and young and that’s about it. He will offer more of the same limp wristed corporate friendly centrism that set things up nicely for Trump to do what he did.
                                                                                          The hype for him is out of proportion to anything he has actually done, there is far more accomplished people already in the dem field
