However we might leave, it is becoming increasingly clear that we aren't ready and cannot be made ready by the end of March. Postponement is inevitable. .
Delay, sure, but after decision. Not remain by the back door kicking into the long grass that parliament is seeking. We should remain, but they should not trick people into it.
So the government and its supporters are still holding the nation to ransom with threats of no deal.
Nothing Has Changed.
Or No Dealers to ransom with threats of remain
May is perpetually disappointing. Rather than trying to find a compromise she has spent the week spinning against others trying to undermine them to force her deal.
May has got the only compromise the EU will give and which keeps enough Brexiteers on board, it is People's Vote diehard Remainers and 'Leave means Leave' diehard Leavers refusing to compromise
Are you arguing that the result in parliament was close enough for there to be another vote?
Are you arguing there is a closer alternative proposal in Parliament?
Closer than the biggest defeat in history? Yes.
You just can't tell us what it is.....
If May whipped any of alternatives it would beat the deal.
Also (FPT): Here's the data split by 2016 vote. The deal is acceptable to an absolute majority of Leavers, and also a majority of Remainers (once you remove DKs). The No Deal / No Brexit options are predictably polarising.
To be fair, acceptability is not quite the same as approval, but the Deal looks like the only option for moving on.
I’m sorry, Tissue, OGH. All lovers of WA and FA. Being extremely on topic here, unless that deal changes quite a lot in a short space of time, in a way appearing completely unlikely, the brexiteers are not voting for it. The parliamentary Labour Party will have to disintegrate with enough voting for it, and that’s not likely either.
The only definition of leave left in play now is the one between Bernard Jenkins ears, because that is the law of the land, and it should be clear to all of us nothing can stop it. a law created by executive and parliament working in harmony. On 29th of March UK voluntarily rips up its frictionless trade deal with the EU, and the only means of stopping it is the revoke button on the desk of the Prime Minister. Votes won on motions in parliament are meaningless because they don’t carry the power.
I See Theresa May as completely honest and completely right, it’s impossible to hit that button. The politics of revoke is that our country is tribally divided on this now, that revoke button can’t be hit in the next six months, in fact years or even decades till we come back together in agreement as a people (minus Scotland who with hard brexit will be gone by then) to the extent that button can be hit. The politics just doesn’t allow it. Opposition voices saying she can do it either disingenuous or live in La la land. Any voice saying parliament can stop it equally in la la land.
It is happening folks, the disorderly brexit with everyone blaming each other.
Unicorn hunting remains as popular an activity as ever on pb. If only the EU will drop one of its constant demands since the outset on the offchance that a deal might just about be sellable to a bunch of wingnuts who are only lightly tethered to reality, it'll all be done and dusted.
That's a bit harsh, Alistair. I would have said Grieve was fairly solidly anchored in reality. Corbyn, of course, is a different matter but we all know he'll vote for No Deal anyway.
Corbyn has now said No Deal must be ruled out and will consider EUref2 if he cannot get through his plans for a general election or permanent Customs Union
Corbyn also said he didn't know Paul Eisen, didn't have a seat on a train, had a fully costed manifesto and condemned violence by all sides in Venezuela and Iran.
I judge him by his deeds, not his words. I still say he is aiming for no deal.
Whereas those who judge him a Commie Spy a Putin Puppet a terrorist sympathiser and an Anti Semite judge him neither on his words or deeds. They just hope their pathetic smears work better than at GE 2017.
IMO they would be better off developing some actual policies.
Except perhaps they are Intellectually Bankrupt and dont have an answer to Corbyns.

Yet the other night you said you would vote for a party led by someone who has uttered a well known anti-Semitic trope, someone who was condemned by many Jewish organisations.
And you’re posting this to highlight that the EU have a weakness in this area? Because that’s what it shows.
Seems like evidence Hannan knows what he's talking about regarding potential trade opportunities and deals with nations like India.
Hannan is a proven charlatan with no real interest in trade policy whatsoever.
Rubbish. Hannan is nothing of the kind. Trade is about the only thing Hannan is genuinely passionate about and he rightly sees the EU as increasingly protectionist.
The deleted tweet claims we pay a 32% tariff on wine from Chile. Hannan has no passion for trade; it’s purely a prop for his 19th century revivalist act.

I fear you may be right. The only question now is when will we get the first Leaver blaming WTO rules for our suffering and saying we should have gone for an even 'cleaner' break.

It seems to me there are now only two likely possibilities for the state of play on 29th March: either TMs deal (modified a bit?) will have passed and we shall have left, or we will be in the position where TMs deal (modified a bit?) is clearly in process but a delay has been permitted to get the practicalities done. Any takers?
Nothing to do with your installed software - the site is trying to dupe you into clicking on a button that will doubtless install all sorts of nasties.

I just don’t see May’s deal passing. WTO terms are also unlikely to be workable as companies panic (note I don’t care I sell software in mainly dollars and euros so my income will remain consistent) so the question really is who blinks first

I started stockpiling the breathers, blood thinners and other drugs my family need last week, if any family is going to miss out it will be those who fail to realise we rip up the frictionless trade deal with EU on 29 March, it can’t be stopped, it’s the law, and a law the divided politics can’t stop.
I think the chaos will last more than six months, but I don’t think the chaos and pain of disorderly exit will define Brexit. there’s a lot of investment into UK not just European but further afield, and a lot of good paying jobs based on that investment. When we rip up frictionless trade with EU how much of that investment depended on being able to exploit the frictionless trade? What can be put in place to mitigate that? It is that equation in coming years that will define Brexit.

I'm starting to think it would be worth a no deal crisis just to see these people get found out.
What you'd prove would be that people who do stupid nationalistic things blame the results on foreigners, not on doing stupid nationalistic things.
If someone knows about the First World War and still has this mindset you're not going to suddenly jolt them out of it by making their grandchildren unemployed or temporarily depriving them of cucumbers.

Antisemitism, by which I am especially referring to (anti) Jewish semites, has always for me been impossible to understand. That there are only a few million Jews makes it more unfathomable. I can only surmise that it's based on some kind of jealousy.
If any Labour member can be rigorously shown, usually by the printed word, to be antisemite, he or she should be summarily relieved of Labour party membership(. full stop) Although I am open to correction here, I think this is where Corbyn is inadequate.

But it doesn't exactly augur well for those "technological solutions" that Brexiters like her claim will make the backstop unnecessary...

I cannot see this really being a problem myself.
I know, but he knows quite a lot of doctors at our local surgery, some are in fact in neighbours.
Am on about seven meds at the moment, but I'd struggle without my gabapentin 300.
I am not clear on this but if no deal is off the table and the deal is off the table and there are 4 weeks remaining ( ie 26th Feb to 29th March ) to legislate I assume we automatically no deal exit

Checking my prescription I get two months at a time and I can order a repeat prescription 1 month after the previous has been fulfilled. It states the earliest date for a repeat prescription on the prescription. If that makes sense.

I'm starting to think it would be worth a no deal crisis just to see these people get found out.
I ham slowly coming to the same conclusion. Not to worry though the leavers will have an excuse for every eventuality
The issue has always been whether 'no deal' is so bad that it is worth the political consequences of not leaving.
I don't get the impression that many of the hard leavers are worried about the political consequences. Or indeed any of the consequences.
The political consequences of "no deal" would fall on such as Soubry, Grieve and the bulk of the Labour Party who voted to trigger A50 in the first place.
Luke Johnson, the multimillionaire chairman of collapsed cafe chain Patisserie Valerie, has extracted more than £40m from the business since the cafe group floated on the stock market less than five years ago.
What a disgraceful headline / first paragraph. They make it sound like he was up to no good “extracting” money out of the company, when he was just selling some shares and in fact has just lost £13 million of it back and all because it appears a large scale accounting fraud occurred which was nothing to do with him.

Are you arguing that the result in parliament was close enough for there to be another vote?
Are you arguing there is a closer alternative proposal in Parliament?
Closer than the biggest defeat in history? Yes.
You just can't tell us what it is.....
If May whipped any of alternatives it would beat the deal.
And she should. I am astounded that no matter how many times the EU confirms that she was right to say they won't reopen the deal, she keeps acting like a few people softening on the deal sans a major part of it, is progress.
She’s too arrogant/stubborn/dumb . She wants everyone to move except her essentially blackmailing is to do what she wants despite it being defeated by the biggest parliamentary vote ever.
Move to what? If permanent customs union, permanent single market and EUref2 are all voted down in the Commons over the next few weeks then the Deal must be reconsidered as the only alternative to No Deal
You are highly selective about what can be reconsidered. Why should only the deal be conveniently revived? Why not another less heavily defeated option.
Which is the less heavily defeated option. We have only had one voted on so far
Luke Johnson, the multimillionaire chairman of collapsed cafe chain Patisserie Valerie, has extracted more than £40m from the business since the cafe group floated on the stock market less than five years ago.
What a disgraceful headline / first paragraph. They make it sound like he was up to no good “extracting” money out of the company, when he was just selling some shares and in fact has just lost £13 million of it back and all because it appears a large scale accounting fraud occurred which was nothing to do with him.
The "As it stands" gives the game away that Esther knows the writing is on the wall.
I'm starting to think it would be worth a no deal crisis just to see these people get found out.
I ham slowly coming to the same conclusion. Not to worry though the leavers will have an excuse for every eventuality
The issue has always been whether 'no deal' is so bad that it is worth the political consequences of not leaving.
I don't get the impression that many of the hard leavers are worried about the political consequences. Or indeed any of the consequences.
The political consequences of "no deal" would fall on such as Soubry, Grieve and the bulk of the Labour Party who voted to trigger A50 in the first place.

The hardliners have used the fact that most people would wish to honour the referendum result to manoeuvre us into a type of Brexit that would almost certainly have seen them lose the referendum if they had been honest and upfront about their intentions during the campaign.
Clever but duplicitous. So if the country wants to leave on WTO terms then so be it. There won't be much sympathy in this household if the warnings are accurate. Sadly those that suffer the financial consequences won't be the Moggs and Johnsons of this world.
Every step that has been undertaken, leave and remain, has been heavily trailed in the media, even one on one Cabinet discussions are, what counts as secret in this context?

The point of not making any preparation for two years was to make it so bad, by default. The real worry should for those complicit in this, if we still somehow No Deal Brexit with hardly any planning. Any other sphere of public life, they'd probably be facing criminal charges.

Good of the Telegraph to explain that 19 is nearly 20, though.
Bohemian Rhapsody director Bryan Singer has reportedly been accused of sexually assaulting and sleeping with a string of under-age boys.
The allegations come from an article in The Atlantic, which quotes four men who it says haven't spoken publicly before.
Not the first time with such accusations. Wasn't he kicked off working on the movie part way through or something?
He was but I believe that was to do with the way he was treating the actors and crew and also because he went absent for a few days which held up shooting.
On the sex accusations apparently the courts threw out the most high profile case as being completely groundless. One of the claims was that Singer had assaulted sexually someone in Hawaii and Singer could show he wasn't even on the Islands at the time.

Fears are growing internationally that a no-deal Brexit poses a threat to the stability of the global economy, the head of Britain’s leading business body has warned. Carolyn Fairbairn, director-general of the CBI, said the failure to sort out Britain’s departure from the European Union was damaging Britain’s brand abroad and had joined a list of systemic risks to the world economy.
I started stockpiling the breathers, blood thinners and other drugs my family need last week, if any family is going to miss out it will be those who fail to realise we rip up the frictionless trade deal with EU on 29 March, it can’t be stopped, it’s the law, and a law the divided politics can’t stop.
I think the chaos will last more than six months, but I don’t think the chaos and pain of disorderly exit will define Brexit. there’s a lot of investment into UK not just European but further afield, and a lot of good paying jobs based on that investment. When we rip up frictionless trade with EU how much of that investment depended on being able to exploit the frictionless trade? What can be put in place to mitigate that? It is that equation in coming years that will define Brexit.
How are you stockpiling prescription drugs? Stopping taking them until brexit day? Writing your own prescriptions?
Asking for repeat prescriptions a bit early works. I’m told.
Checking my prescription I get two months at a time and I can order a repeat prescription 1 month after the previous has been fulfilled. It states the earliest date for a repeat prescription on the prescription. If that makes sense.
I have been refused meds in the past on the basis that I had been given some only a week or two previously and should have enough for a month.

It's a personal worry for me too - one of my prescriptions is only made in Germany right now. Like many others I am ordering ahead to build up a stock.

As for whether she's toast at the next GE or not, who knows? Ladbrokes doesn't seem to think so. I shall certainly be doing my best to help ensure she's re-elected, as will many other Conservative supporters.

Hmm, not sure about that. It certainly didn't move away from the Tories between 2010 and 2015. A huge amount depends on getting the vote out in the substantial part of the constituency which isn't Hastings town.
Comments
I blame the Leave politicians that promised them at Leaving would be easy, that we held all the aces, and there'd be nothing but sunlit uplands.
Who do you blame, the scam artist(s) or the ones who got scammed?
The only definition of leave left in play now is the one between Bernard Jenkins ears, because that is the law of the land, and it should be clear to all of us nothing can stop it. a law created by executive and parliament working in harmony. On 29th of March UK voluntarily rips up its frictionless trade deal with the EU, and the only means of stopping it is the revoke button on the desk of the Prime Minister. Votes won on motions in parliament are meaningless because they don’t carry the power.
I See Theresa May as completely honest and completely right, it’s impossible to hit that button. The politics of revoke is that our country is tribally divided on this now, that revoke button can’t be hit in the next six months, in fact years or even decades till we come back together in agreement as a people (minus Scotland who with hard brexit will be gone by then) to the extent that button can be hit. The politics just doesn’t allow it. Opposition voices saying she can do it either disingenuous or live in La la land. Any voice saying parliament can stop it equally in la la land.
It is happening folks, the disorderly brexit with everyone blaming each other.

If someone knows about the First World War and still has this mindset you're not going to suddenly jolt them out of it by making their grandchildren unemployed or temporarily depriving them of cucumbers.
Stopping taking them until brexit day?

If any Labour member can be rigorously shown, usually by the printed word, to be antisemite, he or she should be summarily relieved of Labour party membership(. full stop) Although I am open to correction here, I think this is where Corbyn is inadequate.
