Current Affairs EU In or Out

[Khalekan]

This is one of the most disengenous statements I can ever remember being made in the Commons.

What is?

TBF it is a hard Brexit only on the surface - it basically either contains or would lead to everything like paying £1 billion a month to the EU, a surrender to the EU, putting us under ECJ jurisdiction after we leave, locking a part of the UK into the customs union and so on that the Tories have criticised Corbyn for wanting (with the possible exception of antisemitism, though that will probably form part of the free trade deal the way things are going).

The hard part will be the free trade deals and the surrendering to US and any other trading "partner" of huge parts of our economy and social institutions.

What is?

Johnson - he just told Pat McFadden (!) that it was possible for the ERG to deregulate (edit: the economy) and for us to have better protection for workers than the EU has.

 

[Davidoff]

It’s truly remarkable how smug and downright brazen Johnson is as the lies roll off his tongue, and indeed when his previous blatant lies are pointed out to him

It's not ruddy working so far tons of it in the fridge .......

It'll start working mate, just need to perceive.

Hoey’s only question is parroting the words of the DUP.

Not one concern about how Brexit will affect the people in her own English constituency of Vauxhall.

Think he will lose unless the DUP do a dramatic u turn very unlikely, but does he really want to win?
He gets beat sets the election up as him against parliament, even if the Brexit party do well they are only doing a deal will him not any of the rest who are remain parties no matter how labour want to dress it up.
The Brexit party will do just as much if not more damage in labour as to Tory seats.

Was thinking that myself, at the end of the day privately he will hate this deal himself, and maybe he's not as stupid as we think (no laughing at the back) he knows full well it will get defeated, he then goes to the country who are pissed off with it all now (reamainers and leavers) and tells them that his hands are now tied because Parliament are blocking him at every turn. I honestly think (sadly) that the Tories would win a GE.

Good job you’ve got a stockpile joe.... heaven forbid you’re left without

Barclay is hilarious.

Praising Johnson for “having the Backstop removed”.

Of course he did.

It became the Frontstop and is now more than the “insurance policy” it was meant to in the first place.

Well no, but her support of the DUP position is what she needs to do here. Brexiteers do not care about the damage, they think this is a price worth paying - but they might respond to the betrayal this deal represents and what it says about the person responsible.

What “betrayal”?

It is only a “betrayal” in the minds of her DUP masters.

In the real world, most of the people and businesses in NI are happy enough with the deal, including many voters in DUP base who make their living in agriculture.

 

[Kurt.]

Anybody with a shred of integrity and common sense would not agree to this deal without first reading through the minute detail which the government seem reluctant to expand on..... that alone would make me reluctant to vote either way.

 

[Davidoff]

Starmer shredding this to bits

I like starmer... one clever bugger

True to her roots
