Brexit slowly becoming a Farce.

First of all - #cringe 

Second of all, those who live in the "6 counties", AKA Northern Ireland, want to remain British.

About time they started to ask nicely then, instead of undermining our elected Government with bribery demands and think about representing their electorate who voted overwhelmingly for Remain.

From what I can gather:

Transition period (previously 21 months) is not specified.

UK will remain subject to ECJ rules until end of transition period.

UK will not be able to unilaterally withdraw from backstop.

Future trade is not even touched on, just kicked further down the road.

 

Not to mention the  £39bn financial settlement. Imagine actually voting for brexit and getting this from the PM. What a minter

That was always going to have to be paid.  Only the Gammons who didn’t understand what it was for thought the U.K. could escape its financial obligations.

Guy on the news just now:

"It's still gonna leave us too shackled to the EU. We won't be able to do trade deals with the Commonwealth. Australia and New Zealand are crying out for a trade deal."

I love that when Brexiters talk about trading with the Commonwealth, they never mention any of the genuinely big members. It's always bloody New Zealand.  A country that's 11,000 miles away and has a smaller population than Madrid. 

The post-Brexit criteria for suitable trade partners:

a) Be predominantly white,

b) Have a Test cricket team.

Anyone else is just too foreign.

There you go again about New Zealand being 11,000 miles away.

Ideally, we would like a trading partner that was even further away but nothing springs to mind.

Any suggestions?

Throwing it back to you.

Bet they will be people I've never heard of. Not their fault, I used to know this stuff. At a push I could name about 4 these days, not very confidently.

So it comes down to TM finessing her Cabinet Ministers on both sides of the argument - it feels like a game of Kerplunk with TM one stick away from a massive cascade!

And there’s the first one gone, Minister for Northern Ireland resigns.

[Bully Wee Villa]

Not THE Minister for Northern Ireland. Some junior nobody. 

[MONKMAN]

Shame Fluffy doesn’t have an ounce of moral dignity in his body, to follow suit.

Junior Minister. I didn't even know there was a Junior one. What do they need a Junior one for, the Senior one doesn't do much?

Grammar, dear boy, grammar

Can’t say I’d ever heard of him.

I would not make light of it.  Every resignation is welcome; hopefully more will follow.

With the BBC reporting that the DUP will vote against the deal then it is doubtful this will get through Parliament.

Tbf to him, you can't expect him to resign on a matter of principle when he doesn't have any principles. This is the Tory politician who turned up to open a foodbank after all.

[doulikefish]
