Westminstenders: Waiting for Sanity

[RedToothBrush]

We could be waiting a long time, but that's what we have to wait for as that's what the EU is waiting for.

The EU has requested we expand on our plans for 'alternative arrangements' with regard to the backstop.

We need to do so before the next HoC vote on 14th Feb. The EU see no point in shifting their position before than. And the UK will struggle to provide the info the EU want before then. So there is now some doubt as to whether the vote will go ahead as planned.

About a third of the Cabinet now believe that Brexit will have to be delayed due to legislation not being ready for exit date. However we don't have power over this and we might still exit without it.

There is no Brexit related business next week in the HoC to prevent pesky amendments. The recess has been cancelled but MPs have been told its OK to go on their ski holidays so it's just a PR stunt.

Meanwhile No Deal is in full effect as businesses trigger their exit strategy in the absence of certainty. No Deal is reality for many even if we do have a last minute deal...

We are all about to get poorer. As that's what we voted for.

Thank you

UK is stuffed no matter what, the damage has been done already.

I have been telling my family in the UK to either leave the country or prep like there is no tomorrow. No one is listening.

The wait goes on.

Thanks as ever red
Enjoy your weekend

In the last thread SherrifCaillie posted The referendum should have required a min percentage from each constituent part, although it’s a bit late in the game for that kind of sensible talk now.

The SNP put forward an amendment before the Referendum suggesting exactly that but were told it was unnecessary as the referendum was only advisory and were outvoted as usual

It's not as if Parliament wasn't warned

prettybird - I thought the HoL also put something similar in, to be told it was not necessary because it was advisory.

Thanks Red. PMK.

It's all getting very depressing. I've done absolutely nothing this week as I feel rotten with a cold. Hopefully back on to the prepping next week. Absolutely ridiculous state of affairs.

Hope you feel better soon @AwdBovril . Be extremely kind to yourself

Our cupboards and freezers are pretty much full now. Standing orders are to keep them that way for 2019. One out, one in.

If nothing else, we've shrunk our grocery bills by about 20% ... or rather we swapped time for money, and combining supermarkets for best offers, multibuys, and different brands haven't noticed any drop in quality.

After 2000, I don't like the car to run on less than half a tank - although we only do 50 miles a week at the moment.

Worst comes to the worst, our caravan fridge and cooker are in full working order, and we have gas.

Place fecking mat sodding king.

Bellini, while I think of it - I'm not on the prep threads, and I was wondering if you're advising people to get their cars serviced early?

This has made me feel so much better. I wish everyone would listen to the comments on this site.

The thing that gets to me is that even if TM's deal goes through and No Deal is avoided, we could still end up back in deep trouble after another two years. Revoke is the only decent economic option and nobody will consider it.
