Brexit crunch - WTF happens next?

Some eu body has just said we only need pass the WA and we leave . Don't need to pass pol declaration.

It's effectively a blind leave with no deal and no idea what might come next though...

so's the political declaration - its a mutually agreed wish list that broadly matches motherhood and apple pie. it could, and probably would, fall at the first hurdle of anything difficult. the chances of the UK's relationship with the EU in 5 years looking much like the political declaration are, and were, not far off zero.

the A50 process was deliberately designed this way. the leaving mechanism was designed to make leaving as difficult and as scary as possible. that was its function from the outset. the function of the leaving mechanism was to stop member states from leaving.
 
Probably working then, isn't it? I suspect some leave-minded people in other EU countries might be having second thoughts after watching the UK doing handstands 3-foot deep in shite for the last two and a half years. Or at least, they'll find it a lot harder to pressure their politicians into triggering the kind of process we've gone through.

Soubry praising DUP in the Commons just now. Scum. Praising anyone who votes against May regardless of who they are.

Expediency - it's the political ideology everyone's talking about! What's the right thing to do? Let's wait and see what'll benefit us most, shall we?
 
So, if she gets this through, she resigns at some point before the next phase.

But if she loses - naivety alert: surely common decency means she resigns at tea time? Surely? Despite her ultra-limpet skills, her deal does today.
 
I’m oblivious to all this at the moment.
I’m watching The Spy Who Came in From the Cold instead. Less twists, more reality.

The Mogg was saying on Tuesday (?) after the 1922 meeting at which she said she'd resign if the deal was voted through, that if it wasn't she'd be quite entitled to stay on.

it's at times like this you wonder why there might not be a parliamentary expedition to the south pole, touring the british antarctic territory, in which each night a lot might be drawn to see whose turn it would be to emulate the selfless captain oates and 'be gone some time'. of course you'd need a few sturdy people along to ensure that they spent sufficient time outside and didn't try to sneak back in under the eaves of the tents but a bit of cold steel should deter them. they don't like it up 'em, you know, mps
 
What is this WA people are talking about? May MV3 with weird amendment? (I've missed some Brexitness last couple of days.)

Withdrawel agreement, of course. Doh.

I’ve never heard the term before, and so looked it up in Urban Dictionary. Not much wiser. Is it a widely-used truncation? What is it’s association with the far right? (Aside from stemming from an objectionable sexual politics).

At the risk of overanalysing a playground keyboard insult, in its original context on the chan boards there was typically an implicit or explicit racialised aspect to the insult - that it was the hypersexualised other who had stolen the (white) girlfriend. It ties in to the sexual anxiety that often seems to seep out of the far right.
 


The answer is that she will reveal some new dance moves, I presume.

Given the political context, she may as well get some tips from the Northern Ireland finals of the 1981 disco dancing competition.

 
Andrew Percy, Tory MP local to me, slagging Labour off for Brexit not happening :facepalm:
And telling an "hilarious" tale of how he was supposed to be best man at a friend's wedding "but he's promised he'll be there for the next one"
