We won't reach a no deal unless it happens after both
A) May looses.
B)Survivor of no confidence vote takes us straight out..??

But shouldn't there be a no in front of confidence? They will call a no confidence vote... Surely...

Mogg's Moscow Millions: Brexiteer's firm has poured a fortune into a string of Russian companies with links to the Kremlim but has invested next to nothing in Britain
  • The Tory MP founded and owns almost a fifth of Somerset Capital Management
  • On behalf of clients it has bought shares in Russian firms controlled by oligarchs
  • He said that he himself had not run the company's investment policy for years

Apparently anotomically we are nearer to pigs than most other animals. .. Some more than others.
A poem on the subject...

"One evening last October,
When I was far from sober
And hauling home a load with manly pride,
My feet began to stutter,so I lay down in the Gutter
And a pig came up and lay down by my side..
A lady passing by was heard to say
"You can tell a man who boozes by the company he chooses!"
So the pig got up and quickly walked away! "

Though May will hope to defeat it, so to her and her supporters it's a confidence vote.
.
Fact is flecc whatever we call it they are rarely successful... Last one which was was 1979 and prior to that 1924.
They usually unite government in power which with Labour's mixed stance on Brexit is a likely outcome.
So we could still get a no deal post a no confidence vote...
Or a general election... But who is going to turn out for Labour over Brexit to still leave ??

Whatever you both chose to level at Tommie a no deal is a possibility.. Preparing for it is common sense, saying you can cope with it is a negotiating essential.
Yes and it should have had the preparation in train 24 months ago. The purchase orders for trailer parks, the recruitment for customs,the orders for new computer systems and software.
Had it been a negotiating strategy,they would have been advancing these plans 2 years ago,and diverting resources. But it will come as a surprise that the Irish government had a unit in place within weeks of the referendum, and grants and workshops for industries to research new markets and minimise disruption.
The time for all that is now over except for say an emergency response and a legal state of emergency, ...

Going back to the labour MP resigning and her son's charge/lenient penalty..
He was caught with £2500 worth of Ketamine and Cocaine. His referees (mummy and one other) persuaded judge he was looking after mentioned drugs at Bestival for friends... He wasn't dealing.. Obviously. Judge accepted explanation... 200 hours community service...
Restores your faith in system doesn't it.

Controversial Ukip leader Gerard Batten backed by national executive

Future of Nigel Farage’s position in party in doubt as rift over Tommy Robinson remains

Ukip’s leader, Gerard Batten, has been strongly backed by its national executive. The move will prevent yet another civil war for the party, but possibly hastening the exit of Nigel Farage, who has publicly despaired at the current hard-right stance.
