[andysays]

Do we have consensus on what to call them yet?

Don't start that again

Interesting stuff from Macron and Varadkar

President Macron told reporters that the EU "cannot be hostage to the political crisis in the UK", and the government must come forward with "credible" reasons for an extension. He said these could include an election, second referendum, or alternative proposals for the future relationship, such as a customs union.

Mr Varadkar said the UK was "consumed by Brexit", but the EU should not be. He said the EU "needs to be open" about any proposals the UK brings, including a longer extension, and they will do what they can to "assist". But he added: "We gave the UK some time, some space and some opportunity to come up with a way forward... [but] as things stand, they will leave on 12 April without a deal."

Statement from May coming soon...

 

[littlebabyjesus]

The new updated article mentions he was deselected earlier this month. I hadn’t realised that. It may be relevant.

Resigned from local association over differences - told he had betrayed them. But he's voted for may's deal every time. It is quite bonkers the brexit fury that has been unleashed among Tories.

Statement from May coming soon...

“We need to make a decision. It’s hard to make decisions. But that is our job. And I intend to do everything I can to make sure the job is done”.

What's that, Captain Smith, you think we should re-arrange these deckchairs again...?

 

[brogdale]

Statement from May coming soon...

"Let me be clear.."?

Thats April 15th; if she is going for no deal on April 12th I hope she just comes out and says "Poyekhali!".

Maybe she say she's owed lots of holidays and is going to fuck off Disneyworld for a month. Rees Mogg is off on his hols as well, though he's going on one of those 1830s things.

"soon"

That's about a century further forward in time than where he usually is.

 

[eatmorecheese]

Let me be clear... nothing has changed
.. deliver the brexit people voted for... somebody shoot me now... etc, etc

 

[Wilf]

A lectern, so general election or resignation?

 

[Cid]

Oh my god, she's doing it again.

 

[SpackleFrog]

Sit-down with Corbyn. So something. Sort of.

 

[ozu]

Think last time she announced the election it was from a plain lectern without the government crest, this will be fuck all probably. Probably more talk of her deal and delivering on referendum result.

 

[brogdale]

Props to Corbz...

 

[Balbi]

Oh she's gonna try and pin it on Corbz

 

[SpackleFrog]

"Requires national unity"

I do enjoy the lectern semiotics

 

[agricola]

Good news for Boles that.

 

[Cid]

Sit-down with Corbyn. So something. Sort of.

Yeah, I mean, because sitting down with the leader of the opposition in a hung parliament wasn't an option before.

 

[SpackleFrog]

I don't really see what Corbyn gains from sitting down with her. But then he probably loses if he doesn't.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Especially if it's musical chairs.

Which, currently, I wouldn't say is out of the question.

 

[DotCommunist]

lets see if she brings chuka to the sit down again

 

[brogdale]

I don't really see what Corbyn gains from sitting down with her. But then he probably loses if he doesn't.

Extension in, no-deal out and snuggling up with Corbz...this will go down well with the radicalised

 

[Balbi]

This is where TIG gets more interesting because they've locked themselves out of this and will now get really spiteful.

 

[agricola]

I don't really see what Corbyn gains from sitting down with her. But then he probably loses if he doesn't.

Quite a lot, potentially. Propose a solution to this mess (whether thats Labour's own or one of the two ones from last night) and he gets to be seen as the one who solved this and prevented no-deal. I am not sure he would be blamed that much for solving it either, except by people who would never vote for him.

 

[Cid]

I think May just wants MV4 in a run-off, but with the ability to say she tried meaningful talks beforehand.

UK needs further Brexit extension - May
