Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[SpookyFrank]

Mrs S says the one thing that winds her up about the whole Brexit calamity, is how many people pronounce it Bregsit!
Where is the G she asks?

She's not wrong. May is among the worst offenders for this.

that's the bregsit calamity, only tangentially to do with the brexit calamity

may is due a trip to azkaban, the new port facility taking shape on the outskirts of grytviken

Don’t think anyone will realise how bad the whole idea really was until the try and bring back more than 200 fags from Benidorm.

Stuck at Dover, it didn't have the necessary frictionless trade papers.

Will Brexit mean I have to pay duty on goods I bring back from holidays in the EU?

One of the big changes will be you won't be able to bring as many cigarettes back.

But you will be able to access duty free shopping within the EU.

So what you can bring home will be cheaper.

The restrictions will be similar to the rules imposed on British travellers returning from non-EU nations.

In other words you must not take in more than 200 cigarette - otherwise you will have to pay duty.




I never saw that on the side of a fuckign bus?

Ah, I've got it now! That's why Brexit will save the NHS £350m - expensive tabs.

Like Tippex, but even whiter? M'kay.

Hang on, the guardian just hacked by account!

So NI gets special status within a wider customs agreement?

Would now be about the right moment to make Arlene Foster pay back all that heating scheme money?

Cabinet members called in to sign off May's Brexit deal

Ministers have been summoned to an emergency cabinet meeting on Wednesday where they will be asked to sign off Theresa May’s final Brexit deal with Brussels.

The critical meeting will review the final text of the withdrawal agreement, which was reached on Tuesday by British and European Union negotiators as the first step in the long process of ratifying the UK’s withdrawal from the EU.

 

[not-bono-ever]

DUP say no

 

[cupid_stunt]

DUP say no

Of course they haven't, they haven't seen the deal yet.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Unless it is massively different to whatever they are aware of, then they are not likely to go for it. Unless they get a huge bung obvs. They do have principles you know

 

[Wilf]

"We want another £10 billion - and you've got to do the dance".

It'll end up no deal or (referendum or rescinding article 50)

I'm certainly looking forward to the smirk on Jean-Claude Junker's face when Raaaaaab has to get into that.

- Ah, I hear you want another referendum?
'Well, er... yes, we... erm, might have to...'
- Splendid, splendid, well, just get back to me when you've decided. Oh, but do remember the terms have changed now the old deal has expired. For starters, you and Mrs May have to turn up the next summit dressed as Smurfs with a baguette up your brexits. That's okay isn't it?
'Well, yes - but could we talk about the backstop?'

According to BBC coverage, the Irish government isn't happy about the text, which would suggest there's something in it to keep the DUP onside.

Given the standard of this Government's negotiations so far, they are probably miffed that owning a bowler hat and sash will only result in a fine rather than an immediate custodial sentence.

Arrrggggh...and there I was busyily arranging our "text of proposed withdrawal agreement has been stabilised" street party this evening.

 

[andysays]

According to BBC coverage, the Irish government isn't happy about the text, which would suggest there's something in it to keep the DUP onside.

Given that the agreement is apparently between UK and EU negotiators, and it hasn't even been seen by the British government yet, I'm not sure how the Irish government are in a position to be happy or not happy about it

Part of the no deal Brexit plan involves trying to get a clause in all future trade agreements that entitles UK plc to special treatment, proportionate to the number of memes and related internet phenomenon its cultural and political products have helped foster over the years. Rickrolling alone is believed to potentially be worth as much as the present trade in fossilised grape snarlings between the UK and its european partners.

Someone I know is in the negotiation team (civil service) and said to me last week that the UK govt had more or less given up trying to appease the DUP.

I've made that deliberately vague so they can't be identified, that's all I've got on the subject. Will be interesting to see if it's true.
