Current Affairs EU In or Out

[orchard]

BREAKING: Geoffrey Cox says legal risk remains "unchanged" that if there were "intractable differences" between the parties the UK would have "no internationally lawful means of exiting" the backstop.
Surely he has just killed off any chance of May's deal passing tonight

It's a right mess , can't for the life of me see were this is all going.
The deal is [Poor language removed] , I am a leave supporter and would sooner stay in than take this deal.
Only good thing would be May would be gone soon afterwards, we need a new PM and hopefully get a general election to clear parliament up, hopefully one side or the other get s majority to actually be a government and lead the country.

This defo wont get through and, IMO, I'd expect an extension - a long one - to be agreed and a General Election to be called for sometime in May to sort this one out.

Scroll to bottom paragraph for meat of it.....

lollollollollollollol

Jesus Christ, they aren't even pretending anymore.

She's basically flown to Strasbourg in a jet and got a legally binding agreement that the EU and UK will both try really really hard to find a solution to the backstop.

Well this changes everything 'rule Britannia!!!'

 

[davek]

Yeah that should be that.

Actually surprised he's kept some professional dignity on that - thought he'd whitewash it.

Covered his arse either way, like all ambulance chasers.

She's humiliated - again.

This is the end for May.


She'll resign and then we have a general election.

Brush your rosettes off everyone, we're hitting the doorsteps.

Hopefully renaming the month when we get shot of its virtue less namesake.

She can't stay if this fails surely. Not after such a public humiliation.

Then again, I genuinely think she's in this until it kills her, no matter how showered in filth and humiliation she becomes.

I remembered that his advice was due today. Glad I picked my my travel money this morning.

Thought that myself , that last bit has just put the last Nail in May coffin surely even this coackroach can't survive this?

The last paragraph is a killer for May.

I’m not so sure. I read it first, and like you, read it as a bit of a killer. However the rest of the document reads as a much improved situation in respect of the legal position. I’m not trying to read it in a positive light, as I would have gone with no deal at this point, but it may just give the Leavers the opportunity to take Brexit and kill off any attempt by the Remainers for either a second vote or delay. Re-reading the last paragraph after the full text reads more like Cox covering his back....but I’m sure we will get a hundred different opinions......

He literally says there is no change in the legal risk. No matter what else is discussed, the previous withdrawal agreement is unaffected.
