I suspect that is exactly the reason she hasn't been defenestrated this evening, having lost something that no PM in the last hundred or so years has, namely control of the parliamentary time table; the cabinet would not be able to agree on a temporary replacement. jack ketchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921268825653615322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-48399445823310141032019-03-25T17:26:36.513+00:002019-03-25T17:26:36.513+00:00It's interesting that only Raedwald believes t...It's interesting that only Raedwald believes that the CONmen party has a future role to play.<br /><br />Dave_G has it about right, the EU economy is tits up and "populist" parties are staging an incursion that will leave EU-as-you-know-it quite unable to function.<br /><br />Too bad yUK politicians cannot see they have a strong hand to play, instead their appeasement tactics and outright surrender to remain bureaucrats is bound to make this situation worse.<br /><br />Now that the first extension has been made, further extensions will become easier and can-kicking will be the feature of all meetings.

The day after a No Deal Exit they would be clamouring for a 'real' deal - make no mistake.<br /><br />The levels of deceit around both the prospect of a No Deal exit and the 'insistence' that we actually need a deal BEFORE we leave is stupendous. The EU economic position is not one that WE need to revolve around - THEY do.<br /><br />Quite clearly our own politicians - no matter who we install as leader - are operating under instructions from Germany over the issue of Brexit. Do we have anyone who isn't capable of being manipulated in some way? Personally the only one I see that is cleaner than a priests bedsheets is J R-M.
