[ska invita]

Their positions on brexit are rather similar...

 

[Ax^]

Corybn has been quite a strict brexiter over the years

 

[Lord Camomile]

Are you suggesting Corbyn is a hipster who was into Brexit before it became "a thing"?

 

[ska invita]

Their positions on brexit are rather similar...

Thats true to some extent, but their mps, party members and the wider public aren't exactly moving towards consensus

Im still reasoning on it not coming to anything, but who knows

 

[Lord Camomile]

These guys are very good

Aw, they did a whole little presentation.

If the beard fits...

 

[ska invita]

This is incredibly stupid imo, and has apparently been their policy for quite some time.
Labour confirms it wants to end freedom of movement - LabourList

I dont understand how they whipped for CM2 just this week (which some people thought would win the indicative votes outright) and then underline that they are against freedom of movement so soon after.... ive been listening for signs of Labours Brexit position since the referendum and they continually contradict themselves, and that doesnt seem to have changed much in recent days.

Concerning the oh-so-friendly chats between Labour and government, this appeared on BBC News site around 8:30 pm this evening (Thursday 4/4) : :

Leaving the cross-party talks, Sir Keir did not answer questions about what had been discussed, telling reporters: "We have had further discussions and we will be having further discussions with the government."

A Labour spokesman said the talks "are continuing and the teams are planning to meet again".

A Downing Street spokesman said : "Today both sets of negotiating teams met for four and a half hours of detailed and productive technical talks in the Cabinet Office, supported by the civil service."

The talks were attended on the Labour side by shadow Brexit secretary Sir Keir Starmer and shadow business secretary Rebecca Long-Bailey.

The government's negotiating team was senior cabinet minister David Lidington, Brexit Secretary Steve Barclay, chief whip Julian Smith, Business Secretary Greg Clark and Gavin Barwell - the prime minister's chief of staff.

I'm seeing very remainish names on both sides there ....
I mean I'm something of a remainaholic myself, but I predict strong counterreactions all over the shop ...

The stuff about detailed technical talks doesn't sound like these negotatations are about to collapse, either.

It's 9-dimensional chess, apparently.

[Lord Camomile]

May has written to the EU to request an extension to 30 June.

This is worse than my degree.

 

[Libertad]

May has written to the EU to request an extension to 30 June.

This is worse than my degree.

This is worse than my third degree.

Just looking for political cover. She can then say oh look at the awful EU they have made me take a long extension.

They know it’s going to be a long extension. Cox and Hammond have already admitted that’s the way it’s going.

at some point the 52/48 of 2016 is going to look a little dated

My workplace is used as a polling station, so it's a free day off for me. Woot!

And yet 54-46 is still a tune after fifty years.

 

[butchersapron]

A long extension with us taking part in the euro elections is exactly what the flagging leave electoral lot needs. It will be utter mayhem and further polarisation and deeper and broader delegitimisation for a full year. So yes please.

Rees mogg has changed his mind again and has finally realised we have a veto in the EU.
