you mean it literally? very nice weather in Southend today.

in a couple of hours.

yes, I agree that he wants to leave the EU but not cause damage to the economy. On that, he has my support and I think he may whip Labour MPs to vote for the WA later today. That will extend A50 to 22-May and rule out no deal. Still enough time to deal with the future relationship or even...

I thought that Frank Luntz was brilliant. His take on populism, from when he was campaigning for Ross Perot to present day, was very convincing. "it's a nice way to get elected but not a good way to do your work". does it ring any bell, I wonder.

No, brexit cannot be stalled without JC's help. He is eurosceptic but definitely not a brexiteer. As for one Diane Abbott, you can wheel out a few tories like Grayling, David Davis and Raab.

I think we, posters on here, underestimate JC a bit. He has managed so far to: a. stall brexit b. give remainers some space and a chance to cancel A50 c. give a discreet hand to the people's vote campaign d. hold most Labour MPs together e. tone down John McDonnell's economic policy while...

how about falling on her sword and missed it? she knows the DUP and ERG are blackmailing her. JC can support the WA and whip Labour MPs for it. He has said no but he can still change to yes before the vote because Labour's own brexit strategy would accept the same WA.

didn't he mean the people, not him?

the political declaration is important but it rests with the next PM, not the one who negotiated it. Some of her red lines will have to be fudged if parliament votes for the WA. I don't think the WA is a bad deal. Brexit was oversold, a lot of brexit voters did not expect it to be that...

it has always been the binding part (WA) that needs to pass, the political declaration is a bit of non-binding decoration. She should have done this at the last time. It shows up the perfidy of MPs. Many of them would have voted for the same thing under different context (permanent customs...

Customs Union (Proposed by Ken Clarke) AYES: 264 NOES: 272 His will probably pass on Monday. The one to watch on Monday is Confirmatory public vote (a.k.a. second referendum) AYES: 268 NOES: 295 That will be an earthquake.

very funny but there's a ring of truth somewhere in it.

she can, pretending that this time, the vote is only on the withdrawal agreement, not them same as last time (which included the 20-page political declaration waffle)

it still won't pass. the DUP still holds out for more concession. I wonder where TM is going to find it. Even if the DUP folds and votes for her, she will still need about 20 Labour MPs voting for her.

exaggerated somewhat but... Full English Brexit.: Was: Cake Then: Fudge Now: Eton mess Soon: Toast

I think there may be a solution with secondary battery in your garage. Let's say you need about 15kWH for your average e-car daily consumption. You fit a 17kWH secondary battery at home which is topped up at cheapest tariff. When you come back, your car pinches as much as it needs to top up its...

I doubt that they spent much time negotiating. They all knew shortly after the result that no cherry picking means simply that the EU meant the UK to be presented with a simple choice: deal or no deal. Deal means pay the bill and accept the backstop in exchange for the implementation period. No...

the TSDZ2 can be a solution. If @Tallfatnewbie is interest, tell me which bike you've got. There are a few Woosh Big Bears on the IOW that would suit. If you are interested, I could also put you in touch.

90NM. Gospade are going to make me one for 100NM this summer.

the ISA (intelligent speed assistant) does not stop the car but constantly nagging you to reduce your speed. My satnav does that already.
