Don't think the cabinet is much of a bell weather for Parliament mind you CT. Their jobs depend on May's deal.

 

Ive told you what will happen over next few weeks. Massive PR, business on side and possibly Labour backing it. 

 

The alternatives: No deal or another poisonous vote. A lot of MP’s (particularly Labour leave constituencies), may decide that this protects a lot of jobs and delivers a lot of what they were after.

Or do you really believe the PM stood up and lied to parliament today 

What are you talking about? She talked in slogans as usual. Nothing of substance. You are so fucking gullible it's unreal. 

 

Okay then, so you think this will get past parliament, yes or no?  I think you've already answered affirmative but just to clarify (and bookmark).

Slogans :lol:

 

She was pretty precise about trade deals, fishing, agriculture, FOM etc.

 

As for parliament it all depends on the next 4 weeks PR and what Labour do.

 

Do remainers risk no deal. Do leavers risk no Brexit. Minds will be focussed. I think it will get through but it will all depend how the next 4 weeks play out. How much business, unions, 27 Eu countries support it.

 

Anyway, here’s some reading for you :)

Any good analysis of what's actually in the deal?

I have to say, going off what I know so far this is probably the best deal that the UK could have hoped to negotiate, May deserves a tiny bit of credit for that at least.

I sort of agree with that but it doesn't suit either end of the spectrum - you could argue a middle ground compromise makes sense but the divide is too fractious for that to be accepted.

It was never really a negotiation, the EU haven't really conceded anything. There is almost no information on what any future deal will look like which might supersede the backstop after transition. A backstop we can't unilaterally withdraw from, and in all honesty probably never will. Ironically the deal brokered is a huge loss of sovereignty from where we were.

 

My impression is, May has sacrificed everything to end FoM. Of course she masked this with talk of the need for sovereignty and to be free of EU law, but this deal shows it was all about immigration in the end, nothing else mattered. She genuinely seems to hate immigrants. She's done an absolute shit job but I am grateful that ultimately she realised no deal was a bluff that couldn't be pursued any more. And she's recognised that, because the ERG loons would be happy with no deal, she's put no Brexit at all back on the agenda as well.
