Utter bollocks but it looks good to posture about it whilst you're running for office.

Why is it bollocks?

[Rax]

Because Spain should just leave the EU too, take back all the control.

You mock but it is the obvious solution. If Ireland leaves the EU and rejoins the UK we solve Northern Ireland. If Spain leaves the EU and joins the British Commonwealth then we solve Gibraltar.

Us Brits have common sense solutions like those above. Why don’t Ireland and Spain make any effort to at least try and solve them?

Why don't we set up a new union like the Common wealth in Europe. We can forge a tight integration across Europe by inviting other countries to join.

That sounds a good idea. To keep things fair though we would have to ensure that the UK could opt out of a lot of the agreements. We wouldn’t want a lack of borders for instance and we certainly don’t want to share money with the filthy continentals. And we’d want a massive rebate on any money that we have to pay in to this proposed “Union of Europe”.

I'm confused now because only one of you can be Kate Hoey and I'm pretty certain there isn't anyone else in the world that stupid.

Corbyn strawberry floated up asking May about a Customs Border her deal makes in the Irish Sea.

Between that and his ongoing confusion about Trasition/Withdrawal agreements...

strawberry floating amateur hour.

Nadine Dorries.

Tywin Lanister, sorry I mean David Davis. Easy mistake.

I’m not saying DD is intelligent, but he is nowhere near as stupid as Hooey and Dorries.

Thing is here, there would likely be no transitional arrangement if they vote it down. So, where does that leave us?

No deal or begging for an extension to Article 50.

Rees-Mogg is ageless. He looked 50 when he was 15, he will still look 50 when he is 100.

So much posturing still. Can we get on with the vote now please so the fun stuff can start?

I really do think everything is on the table. It cannot be a coincidence Theresa May is suddenly saying 'No Brexit at all'. I think there could be some very aghast Brexiteers in a couple of months. Its looking increasingly difficult to see how a 'deal' or even a 'no deal' even happens. A 'no deal' needs complete paralysis, which seems unlikely when someone can can-kick/withdraw Article 50/call an election/leadership contest/second vote - all manner of things to delay/prevent it. Its also clear after all the worries of the ominous threat of hard Brexiteers in the cabinet, this has all come to absolutely nothing, and actually they wield zero power at all. Its going to be a very interesting time, and we are going to see all sorts of political manouvers, especially from the Leave side.

I sorta feel people on Twitter saying *tick tock* are not really paying attention. Their Brexit is on the line!

Problem with this is to do any of those things would be electoral suicide. Do we really expect the Tories to do anything except look after their own backs?

Is there an option at this point that isn't electoral suicide?

Probably not but they'll probably take clinging to power for this term at least.
