Westminstenders: Neglectful Drunkeness!

The HoC has spend the past 3 years in a state of Neglectful Drunkeness.

As it stands less then two weeks from Brexit Day, there is no deal we were promised. The Conservative and Labour Parties are more divided than ever.

The government is in disarray as 8 Cabinet ministers plus the chief whip voted against the Prime Minister including the Brexit Secretary who had minutes earlier argued for an extension only to vote against it. He is now on the brink of resignation.

The DUP look like they may be about to capitulate and vote for a deal. But it may not be enough even then.

This is what the cliff edge looks like.

Who wants to take a closer look?

Surely you're leaving Eurovision too. Or not...
Aren't singers supposed to boycott this year? It would save the UK some embarassment. Grin
I hope the Portuguese entry does too. For similar reasons. It's quite something.

On DUP pushing for involvement in next phase of Brexit talks: 'The party is nervous about losing influence... with the risk of a general election... “We are probably at peak DUP,” said a UK government figure. “They need to maximise their leverage now.”

Leaver Eurovisionophiles will be sternly studying Graham Norton's commentary to make note of any pisstakery.

Thanks BCF - I get confused with all the acronyms sometimes!

jasjas1973 · 18/03/2019 21:50

no interest at all in the UK, already 'checked out' - just basically calling the UK stupid over and over, including the Remainers. But you have lapped up his/her bullshit for months, as it fit with Remain rhetoric

Do you think this little episode has shown the UK to be pragmatic, sensible, well governed? or shown us to be corrupt, bereft of ideas, xenophobic?

Take bribes to the DUP or the Stronger towns fiasco? corruption worthy of Zimbabwe .... but leaver morons lapped it up!

One reason i voted to remain is because i didn't think it possible to extract the UK from 40 years of integration in only 2 years, especially as very early on in the shite show, it became v clear you people had no plan or idea what you would do (rather than dream) if you won.

1604 is trending though the EU are now offering a new date for Brexit to allow and bypass Berko

Iceland’s entry is quite something too. Only I think it might actually have a chance of winning.

But the people voted to leave Europe and drift somewhere along the Atlantic towards the US.
Oh, is that an iceberg? ShockWink

Culturally there is surprisingly little overlap between Leavers and Eurovision fans.

Bercow is going to be appearing in panto once he quits as speaker, isn’t he? He’s definitely got the facial expressions for it.

They can say what they like about Berkow his balls are bigger than ALL of HoC put together! And far bigger than any bloody Tory biased media.

How many times do the Tories have to be told that Berkow did not have to inform them of his speech or its content? And if they continue to moan about due consideration they should tell Leadsom to stop insulting the speaker of the house!

The EU is noticeably pushing the WA as hard as it can

  • e.g. offering a CC with modified end date - because it's the only deal there is, unless the UK drops red lines - which the HoC is nowhere near agreeing

And we have almost run out of time to avoid No Deal.

They would be happy if we choose the SM later, but they want to get a WA through with the A50 housekeeping requirements satisfied
and then negotiate the future trade relationship in transition.

Many reportedly no longer even want the UK to Remain, after the last several years being deliberately obstructive.
Ivan Rogers said in an interview that in recent years his instructions were not to be cooperative, but to block or kill new EU initiatives.

The EU probably dreads trying to negotiate anything else with the disfunctional shower in either party.
They have already invested 2 years in this Brexshit and want to move on

Renegotiating would mean changing the PD, not the WA itself - unless the Uk wants to improve expat rights
The backstop would remain, because they don't trust this or any future UK govt

Whatever we end up with will mean years of negotiation in transition
Negotiating something else means 1 / 2 / xx years more before we even get to that stage

Was just watching Alan Partridge where there was a rendition of Come Out Ye Black and Tans. The DUP won't be happy! Grin

May clearly didn't think of Jules Caeser when she activated article 50. Everyone knows not to trust the ides of March. Now, Brutus, oh sorry, Bercow, showed his colours.

Nothing is sweeter than that you are denied. I think we, or rather the ERG are being played.
