Former Score Predictions Comp Organiser (now out)
Listening to May and Corbyn on Sky News - same old gibberish from both sides.
Running out of time.General election becoming almost inevitable
The Tories will simply not call one. Not in a million years.General election becoming almost inevitable
The Tories will simply not call one. Not in a million years.
The Tories will kick May out before she has the chance.They won't have a choice if they fail to get the Brexit plan through the Commons. It would be a show of no confidence in the Government.
It's incredible how Boris and Davies say they know nothing about the backstop that was agreed on, while they were in office.

I suspect they sat down had a cuppa (tea for team uk and coffee for europe)... then tried to work out how long they should stay there before walking out to set up the charade that May has played a blinder and negotiated a last minute deal snatching victory from the jaws of defeat (or vice versa depending on your pov)It's quite funny if you actually picture him walking through the door only to walk out seconds later slamming the door shut behind him. Maybe they should take a page out of Raiola's book and throw a chair, if it works for him I'm sure it can work for Raab.
Or he can do an LVG and get his balls out, why the hell not at this point?
Don't think we have time for that. There's nothing to suggest the EU would extend talks.Doesnt matter who is the PM - whoever it is still needs support of the commons to pass the Brexit bill - May or no May if they don't get the votes the Government falls and we get a general election.

Labour's current position is stupid but I think it would be far much easier for Labour's position to Shift and deliver a Norway style deal.The EU won't extend talks and even if there was a general election what would that do, even if Labour got in, their position is equally as stupid as the Tories.
Listening to them at this moment, they are two days away from the summit and they are still arguing about the same things over and over again.
not really - an independent Scotland is also out of the EU isn't it... pretty sure the EU confirmed that before and Spain with the catalan issue would almost certainly veto transfering UK membership over to an indy scotland.Scotland has an easy out on this shite, but everyone over the age of 55 in the country are too stubborn to do it.
That's a complete myth actually. Perpetuated by the Tory-rags.not really - an independent Scotland is also out of the EU isn't it... pretty sure the EU confirmed that before and Spain with the catalan issue would almost certainly veto transfering UK membership over to an indy scotland

It would certainly throw up plenty of boarder issues though

You're thinking too far ahead. The party members will vote for a new party leader first , and they won't give a second's thought to the DUP. How a government is formed or not formed will only come afterwards.actually in order to form a government they have to get the dup votes to do so... therefore it has to be somebody they are ok with and given their stance on brexit I dont know if Javid would be seen by them as acceptable
Johnson Davies or Mogg I think - surely Gove is too smiley for anybody to vote for - actually what am I saying - yeah Gove is clearly in the mix as well

On being in the EU:
Sure, that refers to inheriting. There is no road block to them re-entering however.

Don't forget Brexiters knew what they were voting for and this was it.
The EU wants a backstop to provide Ireland & NI with certainty that there will be no hard border. Yet May says the UK would have to be able to unilaterally extricate itself from the backstop agreement. Surely that defeats the whole purpose of the backstop? It's there to protect IRL&NI from the UK's actions, if the UK can abandon it then it offers nothing.
Indeed... How smooth or long that process would be (esp ref Spain and Catalan independence) who knowsSure, that refers to inheriting. There is no road block to them re-entering however.
To make it more unbelievable, we were the ones who proposed a backstop. Davies and Boris were fully aware and added their signatures to it.The EU wants a backstop to provide Ireland & NI with certainty that there will be no hard border.

I'm also fairly certain the UK already agreed to no time limit on the backstop, so I'm not sure where May's determination to have a time limit has sprung from either.

The will of the people - when convenientCorbyn talking about how Labour can deliver a good Brexit deal. Just to confirm that he gives absolutely zero shits about the desires of his own membership.
Ah come on, it’s a core principle of Sinn Fein that they won’t take their seats in a foreign parliament and why would they betray their voters to do so? Won’t form a government in Stormont? Even though a deal was agreed up until Arlenes OO bosses pulled the plug? Don’t get me wrong, SF are far from saints but don’t dare compare them to the DUP.And while I am in the mood - Why have SF not taken their Westminster votes at probably the most crucial time since the formation of teh state.
*won't sit at Westminster
*Won't form government in Stormont
*Opted not to take part in Government talks regards Republic of Ireland.
Anyone who votes for these charlatans need their heads examined. Worst then the DUP for lining their own pockets, doing nothing for their constituents while being populist at every opportunity

I think the UK has taken the EU for a ride by signing for a backstop they were never going to accept in the first place. Thus it managed to kickstart trade negotiations
Comparing SF taking their seats in the EU Parliament to Westminister is intentionally disingenuous and you know it. There plenty you can critic them for so no idea why you taken this a bone to pick with them.They take them in the EU - which is foreign. Their NI seat is fully used.
why wouldn't SF take up seats in Westminster in what is the single biggest issue facing Ireland since the formation.
All because they " hate the English". And I will compare them to the DUP as they are nothing but a crowd of shysters who have done nothing for their people. Look at West Belfast. An economic wasteland. Best in the West my arse
