Meanwhile the word from Brussels is they think Cox is an even bigger a prick than Raab or Davis. You can just imagine what he's been like in these "negotiations". 

Quote

Geoffrey Cox had told Mrs May on 13 November that the UK could become permanently trapped in the backstop.

So overturning that advice was key. However, not only would he be tasked with interpreting these forthcoming assurances, he would negotiate them as well.

But when he arrived in Brussels as part of the UK negotiating team the chemistry was not good.

According to a senior official, when Michel Barnier welcomed him to Brussels, Cox boomed: "I haven’t been here in forty years!"

"It was like a badge of honour," grumbled the official.

Barnier’s team also felt they’d had to walk Cox through the complexities of the backstop from scratch. "It was the fact of, at this late, late stage in the game," says one official, "having to go through the motions again, bringing him along, explaining the story."

It was not until the evening of Tuesday 5 March that Cox finally tabled formal proposals during a three-hour meeting in Brussels.

It turned out to be a very difficult encounter. 

Cox infuriated Barnier’s deputy Sabine Weyand by calling her "my dear" during what were described as "robust" exchanges.

If the 'leavers' didn't know what they were voting for then the 'remainers' mustn't have known what they were voting against. So the result of the vote on weather to stay or leave has to be the one and only vote. 

:lol:

Mackem logic.

That assumes everyone is equally stupid. You categorically prove that isn’t the case

Hammond pretty much confirming that they’re negotiating the size of the bribe needed to get the DUP onboard.

 

Will they fall for it? They must know the tories will eject them and NI at the earliest possible opportunity. Or otherwise the backstop is permanent. At this stage they are better off risking an extension even if it means remain imo.
