U.K. Politics: Nadhim Zahawi sacked by Rishi Sunak

[Artoo]

I give up. You can’t make this up. MPs keep telling the PM er deal was terrible and they were better options. They take control and vote against every alternative they’ve all banged on about for the last few months. We leave in 11 days with no way forward other than the default no deal scenario.

The EU better get that money

UK might be their most commercially successful release

[Artoo]

There’s a difference between what we have to pay though - the deal involved additional funds for the transitional period after we left.

I’d rather we paid £100bn and left yesterday than drag this out though

[beredy]

EU is asking for the money though

Indeed: the myth promoted by charlatens like Johnson and Rees-Mogg is that the UK does not need to pay the EU the settlement bill if there is no deal.


Talking about Mogg, here he is being destroyed on Newsnight for his U-turn on slavery

That's why I replied to menime123 that EU isn't hung up about the deal or no deal situation.

I think EU will easily let go without a deal.

We know.

So unless you have anything to add, questions you want to raise to seriously engage in the conversation or anything to - god forbid - stimulate discussion, please don’t bother the grown ups.

Haha what stimulates you anyway?

[Artoo]

Haaaaa don't be silly, I don't care THAT much...I'm just here for the drama

Poor Theresa...I wonder how any melatonins she needs to fall asleep at night

So what does the lizard say during all of this? or does it even care?

In other news, The Independent Group formally apply to become a political party - Change UK Party - with Heidi Allen as interim leader.

Change.org objecting to it

I don’t know much about them just yet - who does? - but a centrist party is something I could get behind.

So much for the 29th March

I hope so.

I highly doubt that. 2nd referendum, customs union and Labour alt plan were by far the most popular options in Wednesday's vote and there's literally no way that any of them could happen this fast.

If we needed to, a referendum literally could be called and take place within a week. We might need to yet, now there’s a council meeting on 10th April.

The fact is though that the EU won’t just let us walk away without them getting anything out of us. The deal on the table included £39bn towards the EU budget and they’ll want it.

But I wish they’d just tell us ‘no extension’ and we leave without. I’m so sick of it all.

The MPs have Monday to sort out their preferred Brexit. Despite rejecting everything earlier this week. If the figure something out we can ask it to be put into the political statement as part of May’s deal and vote on it again. EU will probably accept this and have us leave in May.

Failing that, it’s a long term (years) delay or no deal.

Deal defeated again by 344 to 286.

So what now.

Vote is today at 2.30pm. If it passes, it looks likely to be a close thing. If not... there’s talk of a general election but I’d prefer no deal!

This cover is hilarious.

Theresa May's fault...
