Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[cupid_stunt]

Just read that may will be making a statement at 5.00 (sky feed I think). Not, I imagine that agreement has been reached, more about getting her version in first. Time for a Bingo Card:

• In the weeks and months ahead
• Working hard
• Seeking solutions
• Difficult issues remain
• National interest
• Junker is a pisshead

BBC reporting the cabinet meeting is going to over run 5 pm, could go onto 6 pm or later, so, don't expect any statement from May at 5 pm.

Wonder if they've gone back to beer and sandwiches? If there's owt forrin in the buffet there'll be hell to pay.

Man with zero credibility, and as such adds nothing to the debate. I’d be quite happy if he completely shut up about this. And most everything.

Oh he adds to the debate with every pronouncement he makes. Only he doesn't realise all his efforts reinforce the brexit side.

Even by your high standards that is funny, damn near choked on my cuppa.

We’ve now entered that zone of “continuous news about no actual news”.

Like election night specials in the hours before the exit polls. Wall to wall coverage of *nothing material*.

“Sarah, you’re in Swindon. What are people saying there?”
“Well, David, here in Swindon the mood everywhere seems to be: We’ll have to wait and see.”
“Thanks Sarah, and now back to London”

We could do a couple of hours of speculation about what the reasons for the delay might be...

We've got the right to an input on the end date of a bi-lateral backstop agreement, with modest implications for our shadow membership of the single market! Britain is Great Again, UP YOUR'S DELORS!

Gove was sulking because Dominos don't have a foie gras topping.

We are indeed a nation of grocers

Grammar is surely something we can reinvent in the absence of the EU 'rulebook'. And metric can fuck off as well.

Arlene Foster STILL hasn't seen the text of the deal

 

[SpackleFrog]

The cabinet haven't even seen it yet!

 

[cupid_stunt]

Arlene Foster STILL hasn't seen the text of the deal

Of course not, she's not in the cabinet, she's due to be briefed later this evening.

The cabinet haven't even seen it yet!

They have & are now discussing it.

 

[DotCommunist]

Arlene Foster STILL hasn't seen the text of the deal

she's been retweeting things like 'politics is the art of the possible, but it is also votes' today apparently lol

 

[SpackleFrog]

Sigh.

What does it tell you if the DUP haven't seen the deal and are going on telly saying they haven't seen it and there will be consequences if they don't like it?

NOTHING HAS CHANGED

Northern Ireland not being entirely aligned to the rest of the United Kingdom is a red line for the DUP; unless is reproductive rights for women.

I was thinking more in terms of speculation about the possible political significance, but don't let me stop you

I like the idea there's somebody called Mordaunt is in on the discussions. It's as if the cast of Gormenghast is deciding our future. Oh, hang on, that's exactly what it is.

Theresa May negotiates paying full price for a DFS sofa - The Rochdale Herald

Farridge must be pissed off. As the original campaigner, he’ll only get told the state of ‘his’ project when we do.

She's one of the bad professors from Harry Potter.

Well they're gonna have do an illustrated version in fuzzy felt for Dominic Raab.

 

[Wilf]

I was thinking along the same lines. Gove is clearly Golum as noted upthread, but the rest of it is Slithering House taking us through to the sunlit uplands.

 

[bemused]

I bet he's got friends who can help him read it, no man is an island.

 

[danny la rouge]

no man is an island.

I don’t think that’s true.

 

[SpackleFrog]

I'm not sure but I'm watching bbc news and I *think* May might have cancelled her statement.
