    of course the majority of MPs will accept the deal which is to pay the EU roughly £15 billion a year to stay in without a say for two years, then the balance spread out over a few more years. It's not much more than now, a kind of short term tenancy agreement. Not many MPs will want to be...

    he can offer a free vote on brexit deal to let his MPs put country before party. TM can then stick her two fingers to the ERG.

    His heart may be at the right place and when push comes to shove, he is capable of some steel but he's not been tested on any major decision. His hesitation with Labour brexit strategy, the adoption of IHRA definition and recently this afternoon, trying to create a space for TM's brexit deal...

    not much, considering that in the last two years, a lot more people have become informed. You are not going to convince people who believe that patriotism equals sovereignty to change their vote and don't underestimate the amount of work to bring ordinary folks to understand WTO, trading blocs...

    she could indicate the direction of travel (by not ruling out a customs union). At the moment, the only thing she has to do is to accept VAT and duty inspections away from the Irish border for a deal to be agreed. There are already similar checks done in NI for agricultural products. I can't see...

    why? his scheme is probably acceptable to the EU. The customs union in itself does not stop future government diverge from the EU significantly on services and keep the rejoining possibility intact.

    I don't think that the proportion of foreign owned industries is going to change much after brexit. Some will scale down UK production, others will come in. The main concern is the change of government. As Labour is tipped to win the next GE, the worries about Labour economic strategy relate to...

    the richest 1% Brits are making contingency plan just in case JC becomes PM. JC: “The very richest in our society have had tax breaks, giveaways, and tax havens, I tell you what, they're on borrowed time.”...

    isn't it pro-brexit? There's another train, there always is. Maybe the next one is yours, get up and climb aboard, another train.

    There is only a small chance that JC can revive our industries. The issues for the 21st century are very different: industry is going to be knowledge based and education is the key. Of course our top universities are very competitive, but in a whole, the rest is very much middle ranking. the...

    I guess JC will extend the transition until either rejoin or Chequers. His get out of jail card (in case he has to negotiate with the EU) is 'the will of the people', aka the second referendum. Chequers is the most advantageous deal that brexiters can possibly get.

    I can believe that some transport firms will go to the wall as a result of congestion but that's an exaggeration. The vast majority of business won't be affected by extra checks at the ports.

    reducing corporaton tax is usually an effective way to create employment and costs practically nothing to the Treasury. The ROI does it. What eats into the budget is jobs that pay below the living wage.

    JC is partly to blame. He forced Labour MPs to vote for triggering A50 before the issue is better understood. He has made just as may U-turns as TM.

    no. it's because our side doesn't listen to what the other side of the table has said or is saying. Our side, prompted by the right wing press, continues in the belief that the EU will have to meet us half way. They don't. We think we are a super power, their economic strength is 4 times ours...
