Current Affairs EU In or Out

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

I must have misheard just now then. In questions, she said, to paraphrase, that EU leaders she had spoken to were open to stuff that would get her/their agreement through the HOC.

As the temporary and one way nature of the backstop is the major problem for her/them, perhaps she knows stuff that she cant be too open about.

That's politics roydo!

Aye, but she has just repeated it literally 30 seconds ago. At worst, she has had encouragement from the EU that it aint all done and dusted, backstop wise.

So she knows it's going to get voted down, but I know I will tinker with it and bring it back?
That woman truly is a one hard faced dimwit.

She'll go down in history as one of our worst prime ministers.

Disagree mate. If she can get the EU to change the backstop stuff, (which she has had encouragement about), its a pretty decent deal.

Believe it when I see it to be honest mate.

Oh same here. Its just that I recalled an interview with Digby Jones a week or so back. He is very experienced with all things EU negotiations.

He said the deal was good for all parties, with some legal assurances on the backstop. He also said he was pretty sure the EU would do a last minute deal to enable May to get the deal through the HOC. "Its how they work" is what he said.

Today is a script he wrote.

If you're the EU, the only way you'd offer any concessions right now is out of pity.

I dunno mate. You know them better than me, and if May could have got her deal through the HOC, they would be delighted. As it is, it appears they realise they might need to give her one thing to prevent a No Deal. Which no one wants, lets face it.

Pragmatic rather than pity I reckon.

I don't think anyone seriously expects a no deal, so it's either May's deal or no Brexit. Which do you reckon they'd prefer?

Fair point. Just she repeatedly said she reckoned there was encouragement on the backstop in the EU. Except she used political words.

Well she's kinda fighting for her political life isn't she? That and I'm not sure recent evidence suggests you can believe a word anyone in this government says.
