Current Affairs EU In or Out

Hear hear...

Apparently the backstop stays. The "deal" seems to be no an agreement to use the next 2 years to 'constructively' find an alternative to it, and also refer to an arbitration panel to determine the length of time a backstop needs to be in place.

In other words: she got nada.

It was always staying. There was never a chance that it would be dropped despite certain people on here claiming that it was only a matter of time before it was. It is far too important.

It looks that they will now come out with a form of words which give more reassurance that the likelihood of it being used is minimal, which it always was.

It's decision time in Westminster. We are all waiting.

It's Cox's codicil codpiece.

It's Cox's codicil codpiece.

Absolutely embarrassing that statement.

 

[davek]

Absolutely embarrassing that statement.

Words fail me with that lump of lard.

The nation's fate rests on the interpretation he'll put on a form of words. I wouldn't trust the oaf to put the kettle on.

Anyone watched the Channel 4 programme, "The Brexit Millionaires"?

I'll be stunned if what Lidington has just claimed is true.

 

[davek]

Oh that news sounds lame.

"legally binding changes that secure and strengthen the WA...and an assurance the backstop cant be indefinite".

So no ditching of it then?

That'll go down well with the swivel eyed gets in the ERG and DUP.

 

[davek]

I'll be stunned if what Lidington has just claimed is true.

It amounts to froth. How can that be seen as handing the Brexiteers what they want?

 

[davek]

"Vote for an improved deal or plunge this country into a political crisis". - Liddington.

lol

Same old BS.

He literally said they'd secured 'changes' to the withdrawal agreement.

You know, the one that can't be opened for renegotiation.

There's surely no way that can be true.

 

[Tubey]

Ah.

Government will be laying two new documents - the first a confirmation that the EU cannot try to trap the UK in the backstop.

He says that if the EU were to act with that intention, the UK could use this as a basis for a formal dispute through independent arbitration.

The second document is a joint instrument which reflects the commitment to replace the backstop with alternative arrangements by December 2020.

So nothing then. Literally nothing new.

Starmer has fairly easily shredded it. None of this is new.

 

[tsubaki]

"... and finally, can he confirm whether one word of the Withdrawl Agreement has changed"

lol

Pure desperation. Embarrassing really. Wonder how May will cling on after tomorrow, like a rat to a sinking ship.
