    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the key moment of changeover was the Maastricht treaty and the sign all is not well was when John Major lost at the first reading. Before that, the EC was just what was sold.

    follow Norway. Take the good bit (about 72% of Norwegian law come from the EU) out of the EU regulatory system and single market and top it up with their own.

    no, we are not. I live in Southend for the best part of 40 odd years and I have seen the changes, some good, most bad. we can do better.

    the NI problem is that DUP does not want to face the resulting border issue when Bojo gets his FTA.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    you look too far ahead while half expecting negotiation is going to fail. There is no reason why Bojo can't get deal. That does not stop him selling the family silvers to thee highest bidders.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    totally expected from the spin doctors working in No 10. Re the paragraph about NI, assuming that remainer MPs can't stop Bojo and UK leaves without a deal, I think NI border issue is going to be put on hold, basically we will keep regulatory alignment with the EU while real negotiation for an...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    under our fixed term parliaments Act, Bojo needs either two thirds of MPs to agree with him, he might get it because JC desperately wants a GE, or more simply, he loses a confidence vote. In either scenario, Bojo controls the timing of the dissolution of the current parliament, that guarantees...

    YouGov poll: No deal: 10% simple free trade deal: 42% Associate membership: 31% don't get the question or can't be bothered etc: 17% the sizeabe 42% who think it's OK to replace our current membership with a simple FTA don't understand how many jobs will be lost if we diverge from EU...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Gina Miller explains how Bojo is going to beat remainer MPs: Under the Fixed-term Parliaments Act 2011, parliament is automatically dissolved 25 days before an election, but it can be done sooner. Such an election lock would close the doors of parliament and legally push the UK over the EU exit...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    polls don't support cancelling brexit anymore than no deal brexit. that may be why Jo Swinson supports the idea of Ken Clarke to be PM of a national unity government with a single objective to sort out brexit by: 1. ask for an extension 2. agree a negotiating position on CU, SM and the Irish...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    UK current account deficit widens to 5.6% If Bojo forces through no deal brexit, that deficit is going to open up much higher and the BoE will have to put up interest rate. When that happens, Bojo won't be able to spend his way out of a recession. If JC were to bet on this, his interest is to...

    Did Harman do anything contentious in the past? I think if there is a vote of no confidence, it has to be the last resort and ought to be done in October after the normal maneuver has failed to stop Bojo.

    Alfine hub gear, eccentric BB and hydraulic discs - pedelec options please!

    I have a Gospade motor. You can set the position of the motor at any angle, it will lock into place without torque arm. If you come to Southend, you can have a look. The cylindrical electric motor part itself is a bit smaller than on the TSDZ2 and the gap between the motor and the bottom bracket...

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    JC should do the right thing, leave the interim PM job to somebody else and better still, resign as leader of the opposition. TM has resigned, he should do the same. His primary job is to defend Labour seats in any GE, he can't do that when his policy on brexit is at odd with 75% of Labour...
