What a Sh*t show. Leave with no deal then come back. At least that way you'll all have Euro's as well.

Will this be like the last time the Tory rebels were supposed to fight the government but caved in based on some weak verbal promises?

It's going to take a crippled economy to change these peoples minds, No backstop, No deal. Plus UK will have to set up border malarky over here cos we certainly aren't footing the bill.

Rees mog is a mentalist. Why does he hold so much sway in Parliament? He's a nutjob and he's interfering in things that he doesn't understand. I can't quite comprehend what I'm seeing. WTF is wrong with your government?

It's a non negotiable deal, people.

Rees Mogg is the reason why I laugh everytime a Brexiteer complains about BBC bias against Brexit. He's never off the strawberry floating station.

It’s because he has around 80 hard Brexit supporting MPs behind him. May doesn’t have a majority and is propped up by 10 DUP MPs. If Labour vote against her and Rees-Mogg’s merry men rebel, then she can’t get anything through Parliament.

It’s a horror show.

If we aren't careful, this could take us over the line with nothing to show for it. No transition, no deal.

I fully expect a leadership contest close to leaving, just to sow as much disruption as possible.

I still think this will end softly. I hope for a second vote, but I don't think it is likely.

While obviously disastrous and not at all desirable, it would be strawberry floating hilarious if the Tories finally managed to agree on a plan that was acceptable to the EU and then one of the Belgian regions vetoed it.

I've given up on any kind of resolution the remainer MP's. They stupidly accepted a verbal assurance last time. They have been played continually.

Yep.

They are also doomed unless they get some Labour rebels onside.

Moderate Tories: "I'm so angry, I'm going to rebel against my own government and save the country from the far-right in my party!"
Tory Whip: "OK this is how the government would like you to vote."
Moderate Tories: "Of course, no problem. See you in the room later! Toodle pip!"

If they can, everyone should start shovelling as much of their savings as they can into stocks and shares. Holding in cash is a really bad idea right now due to pending devaluation of the pound.
