Quote: Pete says...Tory rebels & the DUP have apparently pledged to back May, so this will probably just send us back to square one, with the belligerent harpie in charge She is going to get the backing, as the tories and DUP have no option but to do so.
I bet no-one wants to inherit the mess she put us in, so she will be landed with having to solve it for the time being, and she has not got much time unless they extend the Brexit deadline.
Anyway, Its time to get the EU to concede to better Brexit terms, if that is possible. its a sort of stalemate at the moment by all.

Quote: bandicoot says... "Anyway, Its time to get the EU to concede to better Brexit terms," Why should they? At no point have we been in any position to demand anything, ever. This was transparently clear to anyone who took the time to actually read article 50. This is why all this bleating about 'they'll be begging for our trade' or 'we should just leave, that'll show those unelected beaurocrats' was so bloody infuriating. Those that knew better should have known better. especially rags like the Express.

People who say "the EU should give us a better deal" have no idea about how the rules based system of the EU works and don't seem to understand that there is also little pressure on them to do so. Unfortunately this would include high ranking politicians as well as ill informed keyboard warriors.
Quote: “There will be no downside to Brexit, only a considerable upside.”
David Davis 10 October 2016
“Getting out of the EU can be quick and easy – the UK holds most of the cards.”
John Redwood July 17 2016
“The free trade agreement that we will have to do with the European Union should be one of the easiest in human history.”
Liam Fox 20 July 2017
“We're not really interested in a transition deal, but we'll consider one to be kind to the EU.”
David Davis 15 November 2016
“I believe that we can get a free trade and customs agreement concluded before March 2019.”
David Davis 18 January 2017
“Indeed, [a trade deal] would take significantly less than two years. We hold all the cards. We will offer them a deal in response to their pleas for help.”
Patrick Minford 14 June 2016
“I am not worried about transitional arrangements. I am prepared to take the economic hit to secure the economic benefits of not being inside the Single Market and being outside the Customs Union. I simply want... a quickie divorce.”
Michael Gove 17 November 2016
“We are going to get a deal which is of huge value and possibly of greater value.”
Boris Johnson 16 November 2016
“Within two years, before the negotiation with the EU is likely to be complete, we can negotiate a free trade area massively larger than the EU. The new trade agreements will come into force at the point of exit, but they will be fully negotiated.”
David Davis 14 July 2016
“Trade relations with the EU could be sorted out in an afternoon over a cup of coffee.”

Douglas Carswell 8 June 2016

Quote: Snaps says... "This getting a little fractious." Fair enough, I apologise for getting worked up at you, but I've seen Remain campaigners make this very point including some rather prominent ones.

Unfortunately, many politicians (on all sides) are more interested in their own agendas and party politics first, rather than sorting this mess out.
