Detournement Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 That isn't extending A50 which runs out in March. It's extending the transition period which is planned to be until December 2020. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I don't think extending Article 50 and extending the transition period are exactly the same thing. The effects however will be similar, one of these effects being collective heads gone from the gammons and their MPs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Detournement Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 There is talk that the EU is going to "allow" the whole of the UK to remain in the single market and customs union during the transition. I'm not sure if it's politically possible to get through Westminster. It would probably rely on the SNP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Think the SNP might go for that though if it provides scope to eventually be open-ended. If the alternative is no deal it's not too difficult to build a narrative that it's in Scotland's best interest and the closest we can reasonably get to the Remain scenario we voted for under the circumstances even if it doesn't help Jeremy Corbyn's selfish quest to be PM. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selfishly wanting to ensure that families can put food on the table. Selfishly wanting BAE systems employees to stop repairing Saudi warplanes. Shocking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongTimeLurker Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Selfish if it means forcing the no deal scenario for short term party political advantage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 So we can add “Theresa May being an incompetent moron” and “the DUP continuing to be tribal backwards c***s” to the list of things that LTL believes Corbyn must be held responsible for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he becomes PM he would negotiate a deal that benefits the general population over the interests of capital. If that is even possible with the EU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DA Baracus Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 I see Michael Caine has outed himself as a moron who has no idea what the EU actually is or what it does; https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/uknews/sir-michael-caine-on-brexit-better-to-be-poor-outside-the-eu-than-rich-in-it/ar-BBOxGVj?li=BBoPWjQ&ocid=mailsignout 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieThomas Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Yesterday 74 year old Roger Daltrey, today 108 year old Michael Caine. I can certainly see the Millennial (this now means anyone under 45 btw) opinion swaying now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cerberus Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Michael Caine is further proof that anyone over 65 should been neither seen nor heard. The annoying this is that these guys are never challenged. It's the same with Farage. They spout so much pish and no one ever corrects them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTJohnboy Posted October 18, 2018 Share Posted October 18, 2018 Good question to May from Tom Newton Dunn : @tnewtondunn: “You’ve angered Brexiters with transition extension suggestion, Remainers by talking about meaningful vote not being amendable. You appear to have disappointed EU leaders.. - they even went for a beer without you last night. What, in your view, is going wrong?” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
