I doubt JRM or Gove will. It turns out they've made some bad investments.

 

JRM is a backbencher.

BBC 5Live had a guy on from The Times this morning who seemed to have a more than rough idea about the basics of this proposal.

Firstly, the UK will basically remain in a customs arrangement with the EU where we will accept EU regulations and dictats. Secondly....and this is the part that will be loudly trumpeted by May....the EU will have no say in any future UK migration policies.

So effectively, after 30 months of utter shit about making our own trade deals and blah, blah, blah, it's going to come down to what it was really always about.....xenophobia. May will be able to assure the ageing, ignorant racists that we're keeping these damn foreigners and darkie people out.

That's all the gammons want to hear, innit ?

Wonder how they’ll feel when due to a lack of skills coming via the EU route, we actually start having even more immigrants from countries like Pakistan and India? Darkies and Muslims instead of the good old hard-working Poles.

Then again, the gammons in Sunderland and Stoke will never notice. Not even someone escaping a mud hut in rural Pakistan can be fucked living there.

If May manages to avoid any resignations BEFORE today’s cabinet meeting she will have done well.

I thought one-on-one meetings would have worked against her but I was underestimating the cowardice of certain Brexiteer Ministers.

Alternately there are enough Cabinet members who are opposed to the proposal to kill it at the Cabinet stage.

Certain voices are suggesting that nothing will weaken the Tory Government more than a Cabinet backed proposal that ultimately gets voted down.  It would be hard to avoid a GE in such circumstances.

I will be astounded if the proposal as it stands gets through Cabinet; if it does it won’t get through Parliament.

The point about NI being subject to EU rules with zero representation in Brussels is a valid one.

If the DUP really are against this then we are surely heading for an election.

NI will have Dublin representing them in Brussels. This is great news.... About time.

[MONKMAN]

The potential for the DUP to derail Brexit, would be the single best thing to come out of Theresa May's leadership.

And how do they vote people out in Dublin?

[RedRob72]

Respect

Which it struggles to achieve out with it’s own support and not just within the circles of the DUP, but across the political spectrum both North & South of the Border.

[John Lambies Doos]

And how do they vote people out in Dublin?

That would be a United Ireland of course

[Romeo]

Have we built any hospitals yet withthe £350 million per week we'll be saving?

I calculate that could be up to 52 new hospitals per year.

[Detournement]

That's a bit arse backwards.

Dublin can't have political control over Northern Ireland before the democratic issues are resolved.

[Granny Danger]

Discounting the Speaker and Sinn Fein, there are 642 MPs.  That means May needs 321 votes minimum.

There are 314 Tories excluding the Speaker.   At least 40 ERG Tories will vote against this meaning May has to convince about 47 other (Labour/Independent) MPs to back her assuming there are no abstentions.

It is very likely that pro-EU Tories will also oppose the proposed deal too.

[topcat(The most tip top)]

And how do they vote people out in Dublin?

Given that the keep voting for Sinn Fein and the DUP one might wonder whether civilisation in Northern Ireland has reached the point where it’s people are really ready for voting

What are Sinn Fein asking for that isn't acceptable then?

They're looking for a lot more than dual language signs.

They want people to be able to access services etc in Irish. So courts, doctor's surgeries, all government departments would have to have Irish speakers on their staff (there are no doubt Irish speakers in some of these places already but many more would now be needed). All forms would have to be in Irish too. 

However I'm sure if somebody was dying of a heart attack their culturally oppressed family wouldn't insist on the ambulance driver being an Irish speaker.

Never underestimate the shitebaggery and self-interest of mediocrities who are having their one shot at senior ministerial office. In a few years the likes of Gavin Williamson and Penny Mordaunt will be back selling photocopiers or whatever it was they did before.

The deal will get through heavy flak in cabinet, I think, with two engines on fire and a dead tail gunner. It will then crash speactacularly in parliament, hopefully with the government falling not long after.

[killiefan27]

Arlene Foster declares: “This deal will lead to a united Ireland!”

Just then, the seven Sinn Fein MPs enter the Commons.

”yer right there sure enough” says one. The other six break into cackles of evil laughter.

The Brexit bill passes by one vote.

None of this will happen

Has the draft text been published yet for we proles to scrutinise it and make wild speculations and extrapolations? Or has it only been made available to (certain) politicos who are busy making wild speculations and extrapolations?

Not even that.

Only EU leaders and the UK PM and Brexit dept have the details at the moment.
