    Just watched her live on BBC News,picture and sound completely out of sync.An omen perhaps ?

    Here we go, May sez cabinet agrees to the agreement. So the line has been drawn in the sand and various nay sayers will need to put up or shut up.


    As somebody said here a few days ago, lines of sand are not noted for their defensive capabilities.

    Ministers haven't exited yet. We don't know if the Cabinet agreement is majority.

    Wasn't out of sync on Sky.

    Be interesting to see what the DUP say now.

    Didn't she say the words "the collective decision of the cabinet" as opposed to the "unanimous decision of cabinet"

    It could be an eventful 24 hours.

    Devnull you told us 20 mins ago that the Cabinet had baulked.

    Some of the cabinet had, apparently it wasn't unanimous, the fact it went on for so long is testament to that as well.

    It seems despite opposition from some members of the cabinet there was enough of a majority to push it through.

    Saw that. Don't think we can blame her for that. I'm not a fan but fair play to her getting it to this point,

    When can we expect publication?

    If it ever happens, it'll be down to the Brexiteers as much as anyone else.

    Or trump getting annoyed, rightly, about american tax payers paying for the USA to protect europe. While being unable, due to the eu rules, to sell its goods and services in the eu, without being screwed with taxes.

    Tomorrow I'd say although it's only 7:30pm on a wet Wednesday night.

    Going? They were before this all started and this will simply bring them back to their comfort zone of the victim card and ebil Irish (and you can be sure Varadakar etc. will be blamed for this).

    Yea; all those EU armies are sure armed up with only EU made weapons; no F35s or other American weapons in there at all for sure; oh wait... The EU army will actually be a positive thing because not only will it pivot away from having to buy subpar weapons at insane prices but it will help speed up European manufacturers and specialists that provide spin off products for civilian market that benefits EU. And honestly with seeing someone like Trump in charge of part of your supplies you'd be stupid not to look at gearing up with another supplier instead.

    Will be interesting to see what Michael Gove has to say.

    If he walks, then WA is very likely to go quickly down the tubes. If he stays/supports TM, then WA may survive (....for a bit at least).

    Stealth mode.

    Mark Francois, deputy lead of the ERG reckons there was a row in the cabinet meeting.

    Basically has said that the you know what is going to hit the fan when it goes to a vote in the house.

    Talking about up to 80 Tories will vote against it so the plan is doomed.

    SNP now also want Scotland to have the same kind of status as NI in the deal.

    Looks like the text will be out later this evening for anyone who wants nighttime reading.


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,564 ✭✭✭✭Kermit.de.frog

    I would take anything that anyone from the ERG says with a large dose of salt. That said, still cannot see it getting through HoC.

    She's some woman to be fair. Most would have lost their minds by now.

    Agreed.

    To think she pick up the dog's dinner of a mess arrogant Cameron left behind and then worked tirelessly to deliver the undeliverable.

    I am no Tory fan, but hat's off to her..

    Nor can I. It doesn't satisfy anyone.

    Hard Brexiteers of all stripes, including Jeremy Corbyn will oppose it as it will constitute vassal status.

    Remainers such as myself are still hoping the fell project will be binned, ideally by a People's Vote though that seems unlikely.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.
