A word in their ear that the Government have recordings of Foster's meeting with Moy Park's owners in Brazil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, it looks pretty good from here form a NI perspective ''best of both worlds'' etc. And imagine a lot of UK businesses wil move HQ etc to Belfast to 'stay in' the EU. Also why would they abstain Letwin amendment - buys them a bit more time regarding this deal - and considering the Tories sold them down the river. Better than no deal. Highly unlikely, some might open a PO Box number style address, I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 Looks like the Labour rebellion has been reduced - both Corbyn and McDonnell spent most of last night calling possible rebels. 11 have come out and said they will vote with the Government - final number is expected to be 12/13. This is going to be close but (fingers crossed) it is expected the government will lose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
