because I bloody well am!

Have I got the following right:
We're told the Withdrawal Agreement is 95% agreed.

but
Northern Ireland is the sticking point.
The EU don't like Theresa May's proposed solution. (Is that Chequers?)
Most of the Tories don't like TM's proposed solution, nor do Labour, SNP, the DUP. Good to see our esteemed representatives united on something Hmm
but
They don't seem to like the EU's proposal either. Everyone is going to vote against everything which will lead to No Deal = catastrophe.

Jeremy Corbyn says Brexit can't be stopped. Keir Starmer says it can Good to see HM Opposition united Hmm

I'm no catastrophiser but time really is running out if we want a Withdrawal Agreement in place before 29th March.

So WTAF is going on and how is it going to be resolved?

Blaming labour is the easy way out.

In the end it will be Labour's fault, the EU's fault, remainer's fault.

Just not the fault of those who campaigned for this for 41 years, or those that voted for them.

Oh no.

Please could you explain why MNHQ is so scared about leaving Brexit threads on Chat and AIBU ?

I thought this was because whenever the word Brexit is mentioned in a title a whole army of trolls complain to MNHQ.
I started a thread a while back which was brexit related but didn't have the key word in the title and it survived.

People campaign for all sorts of stuff for a long time. If it turns out that said stuff causes harm to the people if this country the blame is squarely with whoever voted for the harmful thing to happen.
People cheered the start of World War 1. Doesn't make that a wonderful thing.

Breaking news in BBC site. A deal has been agreed apparently.

If that's the case, why are there Brexit threads not in "Brexit" with comments from MNHQ that they felt it best not to move it ....

According to the Independent the negotiators and the EU have an agreement. TM has called in the cabinet.

Who's running the book on whether the cabinet will agree?

She is seeing them one by one so they can't gang up on her

it’s all fun and games until the unelected PM with no mandate is removed in a vicious coup, and the Unholy Triumvirate of Johnson, Gove and Osborne are lodged firmly in number 10.

it’s going to make the last couple of financial crises, and the austerity and cruelty of the current Tory government look like rainbows and kittens. imagine if the Borgias were red-faced, wealthy British chaps in crumpled suits. that’s how it’s going to go. wheee!
