Westministenders: Rebel Rebel Your Brexit is a Mess.

[RedToothBrush]

Hot Tramp, I love you so!

The European Parliament have agreed to progress talks to the next stage. Despite Brexiteers saying its not legally binding, it is apparent that the EU certainly disagree.

Not only that, but the wording of the deal goes further. It binds us to not being able to agree and new trade deals for 2 years.

The All Important Amendment 7 to the Great Repel Bill has been successful. May’s power grab has a set back.

By just FOUR votes the government was defeated. How May will be regretting that pointless election tonight.

Parliament will have a meaningful vote on the exit terms.

But don’t be too excited. Brussels might not like this as May can not guarantee the UK will agree to a deal. It means the the EU are negotiating with parliament NOT May now.

There is also the suggestion that the mood of parliament is changing and is beginning to lean more towards a EFTA / EEA type deal.

But equally this could also send us to the brink with a deal from the EU that could be rejected by parliament.

The stakes just got higher.

Paperchase do some very pretty passport covers. I have butterflies.

Dai Lama on Twitter pretty much has this one.

Tweet from the Farago:
"I've campaigned to get our British passports back for years. Delighted to hear it is now going to happen."

Reply from Dai:
"You could have bought a blue passport cover for £2.75 on eBay, you daft prat."

British citizens do have 'blue' passports already.
Refugee citizens.

The Cornish also have their own tartan. Perhaps we can put that on Cornish passports.

I think that being so insecure that you mistake burgundy for pink and feel humiliated by carrying something pink is a clear sign of toxic masculinity. Such people need therapeutic help not being given free access to run a country.

< waves to MrsR > Merry Christmas to you also - are you off on hols now ?

I want a Welsh passport. With 'Cymru' and a stonking great gold dragon on the cover.

lol
Not quite the connotation batshit type of Leavers would feel comfortable with.

LH - a simple google would have told you that isn't true.

Who cares about facts, these days ? Feelings is where it's at.

And I did precede the statement with "I think ...". Which no Brexiteer does.

I thought, I genuinely thought, that Brexit couldn't get any more embarrassing.

Anyway, the British Empire was shaded pink on maps of the world in yore-gone days of frothing glory, surely.

Pink was for men and blue for women in Victorian times

So what next? Feet and inches? Pounds and ounces?
I reckon most Tories know this is daft. TM is playing to her UKIP voters.

Where's rtb anyway? Hope all is ok.
(And we might need a new thread soon.)

Is that a pink or blue skirt pain

So what next? Feet and inches? Pounds and ounces?

I suggested that was down the line last year, and roundly slapped down for being "ridiculous" ....

Wonder what the government's doing while we all contemplate the colour of our passport.

Once upon a time I would have agreed with this and worried. However I am now fairly confident that whilst we contemplate our passports the government are doing ...the square root of chuff all. It's all they ever do - since the referendum.

This passport business is to deflect from what they aren't doing (literally anything) not what they are.

Been AWOL with Christmas stuff and illness. Sorry not been about but here's a new thread.

Well, they've finally decided on the colour of passports. So thats something not much

Everyone who recently received #UKIP leaflet, paid with your taxes

I've been wondering who paid for these leaflets. Can you share a link or something with evidence? I'd be absolutely appalled if I thought my taxes had funded this.
