Current Affairs EU In or Out

[neil999]

if the DUP are for it this is going to get through parliament isnt it?

That's like crying when the horse has bolted out of the stable door - the referendum has changed all that and indeed if it was acccurate Remain forecast to win would have won.....

Johnson’s been owned joe...in the words of somebody famous on here “he lost.....get over it”




He’s bent over and been used for the Eu pleasure.

It's not crying at all, it's saying people don't grasp what the EU actually is. I dare say you haven't once met an EU/EC employee. It's interesting, a study was published this week showing that conservatives (and yes, that means you) who consume partisan media are not only more likely to hate their opponents than liberals, but also more likely to believe lies about them. Does that ring any bells?

No one gave a flying feck about the EU
Until the weasel Cameron, scared that he may lose votes to the ukip racists, promised a referendum. The swivel eyed loons on the far right of the Tory party led the charge to exit, not the public.

I suspect that something was agreed but then reneged on. RTE’s Tony Connolly is never wrong and the DUP do have form for over ruling their own MPs once their real decision makers view the proposals.

Sounds like Johnson's gone ahead and agreed it without them.

Could this be his plan ? Agree to a deal without the support of the DUP knowing full well it won’t get passed in the house ? He can then claim he tried but was thwarted by the blasted remainers (obviously ignoring the fact the deal he’s tried to get through is basically one he voted against 3 times )

Juncker says deal has been done and it is "time to move on as swiftly as possible ". He has advised Tusk to ask the 28 to endorse it.

BJ seems to expect HP to pass it on Saturday.

I think some, perhaps not all, of the ERG will stand with the DUP. The possible break up of the Union will be too big a price.

Voters should get a say on any deal between Britain and the EU

The proposed Brexit agreement is quite different to anything advertised at the referendum in 2016

DUP says earlier statement stands.

If they vote against on Saturday it won't pass without votes from non Tory MPs. Will Corbyn allow a free vote/abstention?

Seems unlikely!!

 

[Tubey]

About that

So it's dead then - there's no way he gets the numbers in parliament to pass it surely.

I know lots of things with Brexit are unpredictable, but they have agreed the deal now, it can't change, the DUP have said they won't support it so they can't change their position now.

Weird strategy from Johnson.

 

[Tubey]

Also, I'd say the ERG must now vote it down too as they have famously said they'd stand with the position of the DUP.

But let's face it, those bunch of utter mammary glands would kill their own mothers for Brexit, so they'll shift position.
