I gave up all hope with you lot long before Brexit was a word.

So nothing but more hung parliaments on the way probably, and they will all be forced to work with those they disagree with, which they wont like it one bit.

Unless is all some grand Illuminati style deception, and behind closed doors they are all slapping each other on the back ,bathing each other in champagne and twirling their mustaches at us behind fake mirrors. But I suspect they might be a bit too incompetent for that.

There could well be some elements of truth in that

Conservative MPs should back Theresa May's deal this week or risk losing Brexit altogether, Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt has warned.

There was "wind in the sails" of those opposing Brexit and the consequences for the party will be "devastating", if it is not delivered, he said.

MPs will vote again on the deal on Tuesday, after rejecting it in January.

Labour's John McDonnell said it looked like the PM had failed to secure any changes and it would be rejected again.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47514248

I hate to admit it but I tend to agree with the Marxist.

STEED · 03-10-19, 09:40 AM

Well the do-do is going to hit the fan next week unless MayPower comes up with a new plan like delay the vote.

Very true but what bothers me is the fact imho the deal May supposedly 'negotiated' is worse than a hard brexit and with there being no majority in Westminster for anything whatsoever other than no to a no deal we look....(add the expletive of your choice).

Theresa May is heading to Strasbourg for last-ditch talks with senior EU officials aimed at winning MPs' backing for her Brexit deal.

She will meet European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on the eve of the second vote on her deal.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-47530505

Only one chance of getting anything from the talks....take over a dozen or so bottles of what his favourite tipple is, get him paralytic drunk so he'll sign anything put in front of him!!

I had an uncle who tried that one, the plan was to get a buyer sloshed so he could sell him his family textiles business (which he had inherited) at a very 'generous' price.
Backfired horribly when it transpired that the gentleman in question could in fact drink my uncle under the table - and got him to sell it for peanuts.

So careful what you wish for. not sure our PM has a liver of iron, or an anything of iron for that matter

Fun fact -
I've actually met Theresa May briefly when I did an I.T support contract for CCHQ in 2010, she seemed nice enough and all, I set a computer up for her, which she couldn't login to, because she kept entering her password against my username :P (I think its long ago enough that its safe to talk about that now.)
