Is Brexit actually going to happen?

[Wookey]

She fucking is delaying the vote!

PM understood to be delaying Brexit vote

 

[not-bono-ever]

Lololol

You have to laugh don’t you

 

[Sasaferrato]

She fucking is delaying the vote!

PM understood to be delaying Brexit vote

Utterly fucking disgraceful!

 

[eatmorecheese]

Just making it up as they go along. Woeful.

 

[Teaboy]

After spending all weekend insisting she wasn't going to do it. Whats changed? Did she actually think she could carry the vote or something?

What are the chances we will now see a revision of her proposal after insisting it was the best possible deal?

 

[Lord Camomile]

We're at £0.99 against both Euro and Dollar. That seems... I dunno, low? High? The bad one, though

 

[killer b]

That's not a one-way street though is it? Spain had only just got its arse into gear over Gib before the deal was finalised - many countries would be asking for improvements to the deal from their perspective. It could end up being unrecognisable from the current deal, the idea that they will tinker with the backstop and change nothing else is fantasy.

I don't think Labour would only want to tinker with the backstop though.

 

[Lord Camomile]

Just making it up as they go along. Woeful.

The politics of the past few years has frequently put me in mind of this analysis from the terraces:

That doesn't seem right - it would require the Euro and Dollar to be the same value which they're presumably not.

 

[Lord Camomile]

That doesn't seem right - it would require the Euro and Dollar to be the same value which they're presumably not.

Good point. Would it? Can they have the same price against one currency but different against others? I don't know how economics works Anyway, got it from here:

The pound fell sharply in response, shedding 0.5% versus the US dollar to stand at £0.99. Against the euro, the pound was 0.8% down at £0.99.

 

[Wookey]

I don't think Labour would only want to tinker with the backstop though.

The Labour suggestion of a renegotiation relies on rejection of the Freedom of Movement, which cannot happen according to the EU - one point they've been steadfastly and uniformly agreed on. It's the same impasse, different colour.

 

[Badgers]

 

[Sprocket.]

It is indeed a world turned upside down.
Me and Brother Sasaferrato are in agreement .

 

[8ball]

That's perfect for my desk at work.

 

[Monkeygrinder's Organ]

Good point. Would it? Can they have the same price against one currency but different against others? I don't know how economics works Anyway, got it from here:

Looks like a mistake, it now reads: 'The pound fell sharply in response, shedding 0.5% versus the US dollar to stand at $1.26. Against the euro, the pound was 0.8% down at 1.10 euros.'

 

[Lord Camomile]

It's the same impasse, different colour.

A change is as good as a break, they say.

 

[Badgers]

She is hopeless

 

[Lord Camomile]

Ohhhhh, wait! When I read yours it said exactly the same, £0.99 and £0.99, but I've just realised it's because I've got a currency converter extension running on my browser

As you were, everyone...

 

[Sasaferrato]

I'm selling in US$ at the moment, and have been for a while.

That extension is costing you a penny every time you use it.

 

[Dr. Furface]

She'll be making a statement to the House around 3.30. Should be fun!

1.26 usd
1.10 eur

This is subject to change obvs

 

[moochedit]

That doesn't seem right - it would require the Euro and Dollar to be the same value which they're presumably not.

on the xe app on my phone it says £1 = 1.10 euro and 1.26 usd

or the other way round 1 euro = 90p 1 usd = 79p

Well, maybe it would work out like that, I dunno. Either way, if there's a new government before an agreement is signed, then the EU will go back to the negotiating table rather than say it's take it or leave it on the one negotiated by the previous government.

 

[Ranbay]

When do they go on holidays? Them MP’s like ? It can’t be long now....

 

[SpackleFrog]

Someone needs to take that wanker to task for using urban brackets. I’ve been sucked in by that a few times, it makes his name impossible not to like.

Trust me comrade not impossible

 

[Teaboy]

Will she be doing it whilst riding a unicycle?

 

[a_chap]

So in theory could they cancel a50 then immediatly invoke a50 again, thus restarting the 2 year clock?

No, there's a clause about good faith I believe.

Let me get this straight: the UK can revoke Article 50 but if the UK tried to re-invoke Article 50 it could be declared "bad faith" by the EU and, er... ignored.



Seems all very Hotel California to me.

 

[not-bono-ever]

Such a lovely place
