Brexit

I wonder whether brexit will happen.
I’m thinking that the Labour Party will force a confidence vote. Labour win the election and immediately they negotiate a deal to stay in stating the people didn’t really want to leave.
They then call a referendum and decide by the smallest of margins to stop negotiation* to leave.
Brussels then impose a charge on the UK for all the time spent negotiating an exit
 
The thing with Labour are the rebels such as Frank Field. The dissent is in both big parties
 
The Irish issue is going to be difficult for May to overcome. Maybe a N. Ireland Referendum on staying in the UK would help settle it ;)
 
They can't agree on self government in Stormont. What will happen sooner? That or OUFC get a new manager?
 
the motor industry on cars and brexit

Carmakers already have plans on how to handle multiple scenarios including delays at ports which would hit a global business model reliant on the swift movement of components, engines and finished models across borders, executives said.

“It costs us two-digit million number of pounds which is absolutely wasted if the one or the other condition is going to happen but at the end of the day we cannot risk the company,” Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) Chief Executive Ralf Speth told Reuters at the Geneva Motor Show.

“We are talking about minutes at the borders and if we are out of the minutes, we have huge disadvantages in terms of inventory, logistics and therefore we have to do all this kind of contingency planning now,” said Speth, who heads Britain’s biggest car company.
 
More cars and Brexit.

BMW has said it will be forced to close its production sites in the UK, putting 8,000 jobs at risk, if components for Mini and Rolls-Royce cars are caught up in customs delays after Brexit.

In its starkest warning over Brexit yet, the customs manager of the German carmaker’s UK operations said its manufacturing set-up would not be able to cope with obstructions to its supply chain.

“We always said we can do our best and prepare everything, but if, at the end of the day the supply chain will have a stop at the border, then we cannot produce our products in the UK,” Stephan Freismuth told the Financial Times.

BMW employs 8,000 people in the UK, including 4,500 at its flagship plant in Cowley, Oxford, where it produces the Mini.

Slow handclap, Oxford-based Brexiters.
 
Nothing bad that happens will be the fault of Brexit, though. Cognitive dissonance is resilient.

I believe Oxford East voted Remain, no?
 
Looks like the worst of both worlds
We still get dictated to on trade agreements.
Barnier, Junker and other leaders will demand more from us.
And I bet all the blister from Boris and Gove result no resignations.
So much for MPS with conviction.
The days of Powell, Benn, Shore and others are long gone
 
Double D and BoJo OUT! Principled gentlemen doing the honourable thing or bull-shitting charletons realising that the whole Brexit charade is about to collapse? How utterly predictable.
 
An issue of Maybot's creation. Who's next?

I suspect BoJo was on the outers, and specifically once he called the plan a turd and being so fundamentally opposed to Maybot's plan. Which is a bureaucratic turd of the highest level.

Get ready for an election Brenda...

It wasn't an issue of Maybot's creation. A negotiating position had to be agreed, it was going to have to be a compromise as neither side had a decisive majority in the Parliamentary Tory Party. The real issue is that it is 18 months late and we could have been a lot further along in the process if May had done this a lot earlier.

As for BoJo and David Davis if they didn't expect a compromise agreement then they are a bit simple.

The issue has been created because she's taken so darned long to get to this position. We're near the end of the 2 year notice period and only now has Maybot made her mind up, completely disregarding the work David Davis and his team had done, to do something different. The current ish show is of her making.
Well of Cameron's creation initially. The whole sorry mess (and it's a sorry mess whether you are for in or out!) was started by him when he promised a referendum as a way of holding the Tory party together.
Plus a need to head off UKIPs popularity.
 
Could be a dream year. Tories out and England win the World Cup! (If not, then I’ll settle for a Belgium win).

Then you have to blame the whole Tory Party. In particular David Cameron for using a national issue to fight a party issue (something Major etc all dealth without such need), all the Cabinet members since Cameron resigned and those backbench MPs (on both sides of the argument) including as the obvious one Jacob Rees-Mogg (and the European Research Group) are equally, or more so in some cases, culpable.
