[SteveB]

The way the May government works. You can't please everyone so don't make decisions, kick the can down the road. Forever.

Leaderless headless chickens are not a great plan .

At a time when strong leadership is vital who are the 2 main party leaders ? May & Corbyn- ffs !!!

The UK parliment are developing Trump like attitudes

two rather large ironies

They publish the trade process on tariffs if no deal. Hey presto Northern Ireland treated completely separate to rest of UK ??? like what given previous shouting of NI must be treated same as UK

Now we have May returning to vote on her deal for 3rd time , a huge complaint from brexiteers, that EU returns to electorate till it gets the vote it wants !!

The thing now is even if this deal gets through the UK is at war
Now it is not just getting a deal done they need to look to it is what state they will be left in after, they need a better solution than a forced /coerced deal , they need to think about the days after .

As to the trade tariffs , showing the UK at its worst in some ways . Using agriculture as a political pawn . Hopefully EU and Ireland saw this coming and relief packages in place, everyone I deal with knew that Agri food and transport were v vulnerable

my woman is worried about a no deal brexit as she lived in the UK most of her life and in recent years bought a place in Ireland.
She been told her Uk license will not be valid and she may have to resit her driving test and other things.
It is all a shambles and was not thought through and its like a horror movie. It like going out into the dark without a Duracell Flashlight

Omnishambles.
There that's Brexit in a nutshell.

[MassiveFerguson]

They'll seek and probably get an extension.
How long is the question.
It might be for a little as a couple of months and are they capable of getting any coherent policy together in that time?
Teresa May will still be trying to nudge them towards her plan ,especially the right wing Brexiteers in her party and the DUP.
Perhaps the Tories will collapse and call a general election.
How much more room and patience will the EU afford them?

[SteveB]

The house of commons have backed the government's motion to delay Brexit beyond 29 March, by 412 votes to 202 - a majority of 210.

Can kicked further down the road.

If not the final outcome the shape of it in next 3 days May has to give a turd go ( no not a typo ) by Wednesday , I see bogie boy Boris at it again.
