Kuro Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-49118430 Look at this. He is preparing the ground for no deal, he has been instructed to say this. It is definitely going to be no deal and that has definitely been the plan all along, this has been apparent to anyone with a brain for at least two years now. Stick all you can afford on it. And he's!lying there's no way we can adequately prepare for that, it's going to be.hugely damaging, and they're not preparing anyway they have twelve weeks and they're about to go on.holiday for.half of that. If you can't see by now it's going to be no deal you need to have a wee look at yourself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 They've just been running the clock down all along knowing this is the default option. Now they are in the endgame of that. And when it is no deal.they'll blame the EU's 'intransigence' when really it was the UK goverments unacceptable demands that scuppered a deal at every stage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donathan Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 2 hours ago, Detournement said: A No Confidence vote doesn't force an extension. There are two ways for parliament to prevent a no-deal and force an extension at this point: 1. A repeat of April's Cooper-Letwin bill which compels the PM to go to Brussels and ask for an extension, although it would have to be more well written than the previous one (As the previous one had no mechanism to prevent the PM either making ridiculous demands to force Brussels to veto the request, or requesting a very short extension and then no-dealing) 2. Successful no confidence vote in the government, then install a temporary unity government to go to Brussels for an extension before calling a GE. Such government would likely include figures such as Oliver Letwin, Keir Starmer, Yvette Cooper and Rory Stewart as well as senior Lib Dems and the SNP. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In both cases, the UK would have to hope that the EU would be willing to extend the leaving date again. They told May not to waste the extension time on the first occasion, but the Tories have wasted most of it already. Eventually, they will (rightly) tell the UK to "f*ck off". There's a good chance that this will be the time they choose to do so. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing can compel Boris to ask for or agree to an extension. He has executive power over this. 2. There is no majority for an Arsehole Alliance. If the likes of Letwin want an extension they will need to vote for Jezza. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Westminster could be controlled by a group of remainer MP's the EU wouldn't grant an extension, instead they would tell the "unity" government to get on with staying within the EU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're currently in the EU, we haven't left yet. There would be no extension, we'd simply remain. The fact is though, there isn't a majority for remain in parliament so it's not going to happen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
