the crucial test is when to invoke article 50. There are two options: wait until after the French and German elections, that will be end of 2017. The other option is to ask all the 27 members to agree extending the negociation period from 2 years to 5 years for an immediate article 50. It seems...

The Zephyr B is a good choice for your height and weight.

the Bali is a crank drive, the Bermuda is a rear hub drive. If you tire easily, the Bermuda is a better and cheaper choice. You don't have to change gear with the Bermuda, the SWX02 motor is poweful enough to whisk you up 10%-11% hills without much pedaling. The Bali is more fun to ride but you...

let's just wait and see. I believe most remainers would be happy if we still participate in many EU projects and enjoy the freedom of movement.

Tillson, don't be so hasty. there is a lot of Gordon Brown and Ed Milliband in her speech earlier today.

BBC official: Cameron will resign on Wednesday. May will be in No 10 Wednesday evening. The Pound is definitely gaining a bit of strength.

I think May social conservative ambition may be at loggerheads with the EU's single market rules. She wants to put workers on the board, regulate energy pricing, intervene in M&A etc.. She needs to get of the EU to do all this.

I agree that migration is for the profit of the host countries but May's job is to get us out of the EU with the mimimum damage to our economy. Getting us back in is the job for another PM. I am for one world but don't think it's going to happen in my lifetime.

the EU will have to solve the problem of workers migration. It affects all northern EU countries, not just a British problem. It's much better that it makes a deal with the UK on a one off basis like with Liechtenstein. That will leave the Eurozone countries free of British disruption.

I think May will go for brexit, Norway style. She said before she wanted to have access to the single market and services, with control of EU immigration. This is the so called 'Norway Plus' option. I think the EU will give her that if the payment to EU coffers is big enough. Merkel should have...

The Pound and the FTSE250 rise on the news. Boris Johnson now supports May. Common sense seems to have returned. Maybe the recession will be over as quickly as it arrived.

BBC: Leadsom is to quit the PM race in a moment. She is the last tory brexit leader to leave the ship.

it seems to me that brexiters already know that next time people vote on this issue, the result won't go their way.

it's never a done deal in politics. That's why you vote isn't it?

in a perverse way, I'd like that idiotic Leadsom to win, just to see her making a fool of herself on a world stage. That may hasten fresh election before the real brexit.

uk politics is usually dominated by Oxbridge. Brexit changes that. We may now have Leadsom for PM. Kind of funny to see the proletariat voting for an ex-banker. More than 1000 barristers say referendum is not binding...

@tillson - I would say that for the result to be fair, either all countries (England, Wales, Scotland and NI) concur with simple majority or a clear overall margin of 5% or more. Below this threshold, it's up to parliament to have the last say.

If any of you brexiters watched Question Time last Thursday, you would have noticed that the debate was without bs and either a general election or second referendum is very much the preferred option from all parties (and the audience too) before real brexit. by the time that the civil servants...

the world has moved on a long way since 1945. Big countries now belong to one of the 3 trading blocs, the EU is the biggest, NAFTA then the China dominated ASEAN. After brexit, I can't see us playing one against the others. More likely being bullied by all three.
