And I don't really care what you think after reading your indecipherable nonsense on YouGov yesterday.

Well you could have told me this yesterday instead of letting me go on and on. Jeez.

How many hours/wads of cash before the DUP caves?


don’t think that’s on the table. cash can’t be represented as a win to their voters, who would go to other unionist parties. unionism can’t be breached here, unless they can find a way on VAT and customs arrangements which allows the proposed border controls.

The Tories throwing the DUP under a bus after using them to stay in office since the election is fucking funny, I must admit.

A lot of People's Vote tears.

Securing a compromise Brexit deal is a major negotiating achievement for Boris Johnson. I congratulate him. I seem to remember him saying the Benn Act would stop the EU making the necessary concessions. He was wrong about that. In fact it helped bring Brexiteers to their senses.

this guy made one of the most bafflingly ignorant documentaries (for a supposedly highly educated person)... so am not surprised by this

God, I miss the days when I didn't know who the DUP were and what they stood for

Yes, in the country I'm from there was, in my lifetime, a 40 year conflict where 3000 people died and I'm proud of the fact I know nothing about it.

Please don’t tweet about how upsetting/awful it is that Dame @LouiseEllman and I have left @UKLabour

Cool. Will do.

OK the tweet continues admittedly but no need to see the rest really.

Sathnam Sanghera was the one who ran that dramatic recitation of Rivers of Blood, wasn’t he? Given old Enoch was an MP in NI at some point, you might think he’d know something.

Question: Could Corbyn trade an agreement that future trade agreements would be put to parliament, in exchange for voting for deal?

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg
confirms on Saturday the PM will make a statement and MPs will then debate and vote on the deal or a no deal exit

One would imagine the Benn bill precludes that nonsense

Honestly don't think enough has been made of the fact that the DUP during this crucial week met not with the farming community, business community or civic leaders but with the leaders of the UDA and UVF before coming to this decision. https://t.co/1W0Pa8Hwbw

A spokesman for the DUP said: "The party engages with a range of stakeholders about a range of matters on an ongoing basis in the interests of moving Northern Ireland forward."

yeah, no shit

Not quite sure why Juncker is been going off on one here - I suppose he is trying to be "no delay from this side!", but if it doesn't pass parliament, or if it's going to take more time, there's 0.0% chance that the 27 will enforce a hard Brexit.

Michael Oliver of Penge Wins £5 (Tom D.), Thursday, 17 October 2019 13:55 (four years ago) link

I don't believe there's a 0.0% chance that the 27 will enforce a hard Brexit. France has seen the bright side of Brexit (sole nuclear power in the EU, only EU member with a seat on the UN security council) (not to mention banks choosing Paris over London) and wants to get to that bright side as soon as possible if Brexit has to happen at all.

L'assie (Euler), Thursday, 17 October 2019 14:07 (four years ago) link

There isn't a 0% chance but the UK is still a big trading partner with the EU. The world economy is fragile and we don't what that kind of shock would do to the Euro area.

It’s priced in at this stage.

Any word from AC Grayling on this?

I think the priced in narrative is bullshit

xyzzzz__, Thursday, 17 October 2019 14:13 (four years ago) link

Prolonging a long dragged out Brexit process also prolongs uncertainly and diverts EU attention from other matters

gyac, Thursday, 17 October 2019 14:13 (four years ago) link

Fairly sure I read that they were prepared to shore up Irish industry in the event of a no deal - doesn’t make sense for internal EU integrity to continue dealing with the UK’s bullshit & general shithousery

gyac, Thursday, 17 October 2019 14:14 (four years ago) link

Right xp. There are also the UK government's threats to fuck with EU affairs so long as Brexit is delayed, which French politicians at least seem to take seriously.

L'assie (Euler), Thursday, 17 October 2019 14:16 (four years ago) link

gotta be honest, feeling genuinely nervous about this passing for the first time in a while

No doubt there will be some plans to keep the show on the road but I've yet to come across a set of measures that can be rolled out to fully mitigate the impact xp to gyac
