Westminstenders: The Maddest of May and Boris's Dare

[RedToothBrush]

Boris Johnson just dared May to fire him.

That's what his little rant about £350 million buses is.

Meanwhile its been pointed out that HMRC literally are incapable of handling a no deal and can only cope with an EEA / EFTA deal with no tariffs.

And given how good and on time the government are with computer systems even in a best case scenario are extremely unlikely to crack it in time.

Which makes Hammond's talk of a civil contingence plan, look, well half arsed and lacking.

We also wouldn't have planes able to fly to Europe under a no deal as we would no longer be part of Open Skies. This could leave thousands stranded. But no biggie there.

Meanwhile if the Leave Alliance have things right, May is about to serve our one year notice on leaving the EEA making all these things a reality.

Which is less like shooting yourself in the head and more like shooting yourself in the head, chest, foot, arm, leg and face (for a second time), whilst being run over at the same time.

But hey, Boris Johnson has it sussed in his 10 point plan. Especially the point where he says Brexit will be a success.

If you call success ending democracy, becoming a dictatorship, starving everyone, bankrupting the country and causing civil unrest.

Rule Britannia.

@davidallengreen

"no blank sheet of paper"

Howling.

It's as if she is going to offer the EU something amazing..... come on, spit it out!!!

I'm gathering from your comments that there is no point me watching

"Creative Solution"!! Ok, let's hear it

Yikes, 'creative' 'optimism' 'ambitition'.
@davidallengreen

"creative" means we do not have an idea what to do.

theres is no need to impose tariffs where there are none now and I don't think anyone sensible is considering this

WTAF?

Is she going to say anything?

@Femi_
Theresa May has finally accepted that Single Market access is far superior to a Canada-style Free Trade Agreement
Finally

I missed a minute or two there - did I correctly pick up that British courts would take notice of ECJ rulings?

She's an embarrassment.

She'd be alright at reading a bed time story I give her that.

So basically she wants to keep the racism, bullying of the disenfranchised, unfair election practices and trades union ban, but stay in the EU, but call it brexit?

More of this "creativity" required - so is going to the EU's fault if it's not creative enough to come up with a way to bypass NTBs and to address "flexibility" or changes in the regulations that the UK wants to be able to implement just because as it doesn't want to be tied to the EU regulations, so that the UK will inevitably diverge from the "same point" at the time of Brexit.

So May has dismissed the Norway and Canadian model instead deciding they are going to stick to the idea of magic unicorn land spearing from the mists on the morning we leave the EU

Did Theresa May REALLY just say the same values of democracy and the rule of law?!!!

I nearly spat out my tea!

Cake and eat it but don't know how to do it so you do it for me....
And....God it pisses me off when she says the slim majority represents the British people...

Spearing?...I ment appearing.

And now Theresa May is lecturing on human rights!!!

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I said to dh early on in the speech that there was a subtext of a threat to withdrawing cooperation on security matters.

That subtext has become more explicit now

And an alternative to the ECJ is going to appear to. WTF is she on?

Laura Kuenssberg‏*@bbclaurak* 3m
No new real detail from May on what new economic partnership in future might actually be - just that she thinks it could be great

ROFLMAO!!!

All this is going to be is another impossible shopping list of idiotic demands with no indication at all of how any of it will be achieved within the rules of the EU and the time available. Aargghh!!

I only just tuned in.

David Allen Green said this twenty mins ago:

Law and policy‏*@davidallengreen*
I want to cry.
Waffle.

Its not improved has it?

I think laughing and crying are the same emotion here.

She has not said anything. And the idea that the depth of the working relationship is unprecedented is bollocks - the EU is the deepest possible relation!

So not the ECJ and not the British courts as a dispute resolution body, but a third court??? That who pays for? Is that what she means.....

It could be staffed by judges from UK and EU countries.So that's identical to the ECJ then....except it will have a new name?

She's building up to reasons for a transition period/ delay isn't she?
