Next stop: 27th Feb.

Where we will apparently have Cooper-Boles II which apparently will pass but still assumes that
a) the EU will grant us an extension despite our fuckwittery
b) that it will prevent accidental no deal, which it doesn't
c) glosses over the minor point that the only way to 100% prevent no deal is to say you'll revoke if everything else fails

Meanwhile in reality we leave in law on 29th March, despite the rest of the law having zero chance of being ready in time. Withdrawal Agreement and No Deal alike.

All that is actually happening is the Tories and Labour fighting amongst themselves. Corbyn is still pretending that Brexit isn't really that important and hoping it will just go away. May is still trying to compromise with the ERG - whom if you paying attention 18 months ago were obviously were never going to compromise on anything - cos they are fuckwitted swivel eyed loons.

Meanwhile the entire country has no other alternative but to assume no deal and act accordingly.

A deal on the 21st March (as is the planned date of the Meaningful Vote) is simply too late for planners. For them no deal has already happened even if it does never come to pass.

The strategy of brinkmanship has destroyed us. We just don't know it yet.

A Split in the Tory and Labour parties may well make matters even worse going forward with further political polarisation.

Where next for Brexit?

Who knows and does it even matter now? The damage is irreversible and will take at least a generation to heal wounds. Economically it may never be recoverable.

FUKD.

Reminder: Tories have a history of anti-EU spite ... and making the most vulnerable people pay for it

Those Westministenders involved with running foodbanks may remember just before Christmas 2013
Cameron's govt refused EU food bank subsidy 🤦🏻‍♀️

They also refused EU money to help after floods 🤦🏻‍♀️

‘Taking food from the hungry’: UK govt rejects EU food bank subsidy

https://www.rt.com/news/uk-refuses-eu-help-467/

Britain’s Conservative government is facing a wave of criticism for refusing up to $36 million in EU food aid.

The decision has prompted accusations the government is sacrificing the needs of the poor in favor of championing an “anti-EU ideology.”
....
Instead of accepting up to 22 million pounds ($36 million),
the UK has opted for a 2.9 million pound ($4.7 million) handout.

However, this money will not be spent on food banks, but instead it will be invested in a push to help the unemployed find jobs.

https://eu-rope.ideasoneurope.eu/2016/01/03/britain-rejects-eu-help-food-flood-victims/

According to accountants, KPMG, the cost of the UK floods has so far topped £5 billion, which is roughly €6.8 billion, so Britain is entitled to apply for the EU emergency help.

But so far, the UK government has refused to accept any EU support for Britain’s flood victims, just as it has rejected available EU support for those in Britain too poor to buy enough food.

< The previous Labour govt applied for & received EU funds after floods >

So when people wish we could return to "normal" politics, remember what the Tory normal was, wrt EU

Another vote for prosecuting David Cameron.
Watched this video this.morning about the NI border and to think that DC called a referendum without tany thought for the Irish and the GFA made my blood boil. And I'm not even Irish. Angry
