the day after the deadline: can the union survive brexit and other deep questions

I thought you meant it in a sarcastic sense before I clicked, it is good - because no other paper seems interested rn.

I’m at Ukip conference, where of course you can buy Nigel Farage condoms.

UKIP unveil their new zero-child policy.

CONFIRMED: BBC have been summoned to Downing Street. PM will give a statement on government Brexit policy. No other journos invited. On telly at 1345.

Or 'Tell Laura I Love Her'

So we're heading for no deal eh.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-45603192

stop the pressezzzzz

The statement has been delayed as the room they’d booked for it doesn’t have any electricity. Sounds like they might as well not bother.

Metaphor alert: there’s currently no power in the room at No 10 where the PM is going to make her speech. Might delay things a bit.

Bah xp

nothing new except possible softening on EU citizens' rights in the UK? bah fuck these people

She's demanding respect from the EU.

These are the most pathetic choads in all Christendom.

God help me, I actually watched this and she said nothing new whatsoever, what was the point of doing that?

"At this late stage in the negotiations, it is not acceptable to simply reject the other side's proposals without a detailed explanation and counter proposals. So we now need to hear from the EU what the real issues are and what their alternative is so we can discuss them. Until we do, we cannot make progress."

FFS is it neck or just naivety?

It's Trump's so-called 'art' of the deal, without the browbeating leverage.

100% it's neck, just sheer fucking white-knuckle 'WE'VE GOTTA DO SOMETHING TO LOOK LIKE WE KNOW WHAT WE'RE DOING' panic

actually i've changed my mind, brexit is good not bad now

(yes that is that darren grimes)

Between this and Elon Musk it's been tough times for the whole Grimes family.

Twenty-five years of plotting this exact moment and this is the best analogy he can come up with.

"Let them eat shit"

luv2 c england pay for my cake

wtf is Darren grimes ?

also, what is the other Darren Grimes?

Grimes is the 23-y-o fashion student mysteriously gifted £625k in dark money to buy adverts for Brexit illegally.

No deal is a lock. I'd like to renounce my citizenship. When is Soros going to sort me a seastead.

I feel like the problem with the EU's 'May will blink first' tactic is that it massively underestimates the stubborness and obsessiveness of her own backbenchers.

yes, may has been designed for disposability

I can't help but sympathise on some level. Brings to mind that Onion headline after Obama's election, 'Black Man Given Nation's Worst Job'.

Strong, tough, reckless: Verdict on Theresa May's blistering Brexit speech

So says the.. um... Bristol Post.

re grimes : ta SV for the reminder … I should have remembered that.

think that Redwood analogy used "milkshake" instead of "cake" originally

never heard of cake duck tbh

What's that German chess term for "a situation where one player has been absolutely banjaxed for the last half hour by a stupid error from about 20 moves ago but only just realised something is wrong"?

the tory party reeks of death

“necessary good character requirement” if there was such a requirement to be an MP, 95% of these cunts would be gone.

'Brutal' headlines for May yesterday. Eulogised today.

Heaven needed a loathsome and vindictive micromanager.... Etc

Corbyn says he will accept any decision made by conference over a second Brexit referendum. Given there's no way that they'll vote against it I guess that's more or less settled but everything will depend on the wording of the motion.

no doubt Chuka and the melts gang will be saying Corbyn had to be dragged to this point, and then desperately struggling to find another line of attack .. because .. um .. what do we actually represent again .. erm..

I don't know what the latest polling is on brexit, but I presume people are turning against in significant numbers, otherwise this could be a bad move by Labour.

it will be extremely good when 'remain' wins referendum 2 and the team leave throw a shit fit

on the other hand, it's highly likely voters are less than sympathetic to the side they blame for re-opening a question they had thought settled and so leave would probably win referendum 2 by a margin

I'm not surprised our lame brexit neggers are coming up short against this bad mofo.

I don't think Labour leave voters are that much of a problem really, certainly not as the picture gets bleaker as it almost certainly will.

They are certainly not that much of a problem compared to what we have at the moment, which is a choice between whatever May can cobble together or a plunge into the abyss. There needs to be some serious pressure from another direction and I can't see where else it would come from.

It's not even about overturning the result or even stopping Brexit, but anything that can be done to force a soft Brexit is a good thing right now.

a 2nd referendum with an equally narrow margin in either direction can only be great for the future of the UK
