Let the Tories own it all the way and hopefully it will lead to real change when people see their standards of living slipping.

No time for a general election. No time for a referendum. Talk of using the time to get assurances from the EU is all lies to delay any possible alternative from being tabled.

Ross Kempsell - "Labour just spent last few hours claiming it got what it wanted by ‘forcing’ the PM to reveal vote date - therefore no need for no confidence Now they have tabled motion of no confidence in her anyway"

Labour had threatened to force a confidence vote in the PM if she did not set a date for the vote.

Don't let that deter you from sharing your view of Brexit on this forum - good debate needs opposing voices to be worthwhile - as long as both sides are civil and can agree to debate specific points.
