That's rather negative Old Boy. It could actually strengthen the UK's negotiating position. The negotiators could say "I'd love to agree to that so I can get home tonight but I can't because it won't get past Parliament. Give me a better offer."

Exactly. The worrying thing is that the Government hasn't decided due to cabinet divisions.
Quote:
Mrs May is facing pressure from her fellow leaders at the EU Council meeting to spell out what kind of future relationship Britain is looking for, as negotiators prepare to move on to the next phase of talks. But the prime minister has yet to find a consensus in her own cabinet between those who favour close alignment with the EU after Brexit and those who are keen to make a harder break. “We asked the European side to leave it open for now,” said one of Mrs May’s allies. “We didn’t want them setting down at this European Council what exactly the parameters of a deal might be.”

Re: Brexit discussion

David Davis deserves a knighthood for his skilful handling of the negotiations.

No excuses for this though as this goes beyond the pale.

I think you get people like this everywhere, it's not a Brexiter thing. I hope the Police catch them for their own good for they can't be of sane mind.

Re: Brexit discussion

Yup, happens across politics. It's what happens when people have so vilified their opposition that they become evil, a caricature, and they don't seem them as a fellow human they can empathise with. It should be taken seriously too. Jo Cox was murdered by someone who viewed the world so simply and with so hate.

Nothing is agreed until everything is agreed - from David Davis himself.

So far, they have nothing.

Or you just don’t read things maybe?!

EU has warned May tonight that if MPs reject the Brexit deal, they will not renegotiate it’s terms. Putting the possibility of a no brexit deal back on the table, so I guess we owe our thanks to these rebel MPs after all.

Journalist and Author Isabel Oakenshott schools Nicky Morgan on QT tonight (Morgan a staunch Remoaner at heart and one of the undemocratic rebels voting against the government last night).
