Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Carl O'Ancelotti]

"The legal risk remains unchanged that if through no such demonstrable failure of either party, but simply because of intractable differences, that situation does arise, the United Kingdom would have ... no internationally lawful means of exiting the Protocol's arrangements, save by agreement."

Game, set and match Varadkar.

Since this was announced less than an hour ago sterling has dropped 1.5% against the €...

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

Of course the previous agreement is affected, there are additional agreed legal agreements and a unilateral declaration that has not been objected to.....it may not be what May wanted or even promised, but there is no doubt that it has moved further on...

I can’t imagine that the ‘favourable EEC regime’ came about because France and Germany we two of the worlds biggest sugar beet producers.......oh no, wait....

Yeah, nobody was going to want cane sugar was the 'official' reason for all those jobs going

 

[peteblue]

Were you a fan of the deal before?

No, and I am still not.....

A unilateral declaration is nonesense. It's an exercise in the UK talking to itself about leaving. They can declare it, doesn't mean it will happen.

 

[Jebus_lives]

No, and I am still not.....

I was wondering. Because this is basically the same deal.

Well its the 'best' one you're getting

I assume it depends how it is treated. It has been raised and added and while not ‘agreed’, it has neither been ‘rejected’ nor ‘objected’ to.....but that’s for the lawyers.....

Legally it’s the same deal that was rejected out of sight.

Now May all along has said she will uphold the Brexit referendum vote and reject a second referendum however here she is putting her rejected deal back through parliament to vote on it again!!!!

Words fail me - the utter arrogance and ignorance of this woman.

It's smoke and mirrors. I'm not trying to be argumentative, but it has little relevance on the terms of the backstop.

It's use is there to ensure that the EU operate in good faith in negotiations.

As I said earlier, the whole of the changes amount to each side agreeing to play nicely.

Very possibly....

It’ll be interesting to listen to the AG at 12.30.......

Vince Cable saying he can see Brexit being reversed....

The only sensible course of action.

In fact, given the absolute shyambles those charged with running this country have made and are continuing to make of it, direct rule from Brussels should be considered.
