1. Allow a free vote, without party whips in the HoC
a free vote will be damaging to the conservative party.
Its MPs are more remainers than leavers, against the wishes of its membership.

The 39 billion paid without a trade deal for one.
you don't accept it but you know why.
Beside the estimates for current liabilities, the money buys the transition, the trade deal is free of charge.

another funny thing I heard in Andrew Neil's This Week. He asked: if there is a second referendum, the Leave slogan will be 'Tell them again' what will remain slogan be?
Sam Gyimah: 'Trust them again'.

BTW, have you noticed the right wing press has gone suddenly quiet.

It is simple Dan. And I don't know why your government wouldn't want this.

But for me there are aspects of May's deal that trouble me greatly.

The 39 billion paid without a trade deal for one.
On the contrary, the Irish government would have no problems with that. Our preference would of course be for even closer alignment between the EU and the UK.

They/You were promised lies - hasn't that been made clear by the ardent ERG and Leave campaign/s - all the slogans were manipluations to garner a protest vote at scapecoats (some culpable and many imagined) - then there was bungling Boris and his photo by the big bogus bus promising a bounty of unicorn bullshit.
Just because you lost. Remainers told a pack of lies too. Where's our £30b emergency budget?

Lord Nigel speaks in the Express
"
BREXIT SHOCK: Nigel Farage REVEALS the 'most likely Brexit outcome' – Leavers will HATE
NIGEL FARAGE has warned the “most likely outcome” of Brexit is the UK getting trapped into a “vacuum” where there is “deadlock, gridlock, followed by Article 50 being suspended”
Brexit supporter and MEP Nigel Farage has warned about the “most likely outcome” of Britain’s exit process where he claims Article 50 could be triggered. The Co-Chair of Leave Means Leave praised Brexit supporters for trying to push through the UK’s departure from Brussels through the Commons, but warned they were in the “minority.” Speaking to Express.co.uk at a Leave Means Leave event in London last week, Nigel Farage said he hoped he was wrong but feared what Brits voted for was “slipping away”.
“I believe into that vacuum, you may well see Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn deciding the only way they have got out of the splits in their own party is to put it to another referendum.

“Now that is the worst case scenario, but do you know what? If it happens, I will be ready for them.”

Interesting, but I don't see it happening

US government do the EUs accounting
The USA's IRS has not even been able to get its own staff to turn up (unpaid) for their own needs due to their shutdown (now, I hear, at least suspended). They asked for 26,000 workers to turn up and 14,000 couldn't even be contacted!

As woosh observed the Daily Mail seems to have lost interest in Brexit this morning.
Are they waiting for new Paymaster's instructions?
it's perhaps the James Delingpole effect.

Mostly being wasted on No Deal preparations and dodgy contracts to shipping companies without ships?
Hilarious, got any more funnies like that one to take pot shots at?

He's just an old man. We used to get them when I was younger.

Although this one is so set in his ways he should be called concrete. I feel for his carers.
You should feel more for the rest of us, having clowns that hang around the thread trying to be a nuisance, who haven't been able to come up with any argument to support leave, and so resort to the equivalent messing on the carpet with nonsense posts.
Any more corny urban myths you would like shot down?

Leavers should concentrate on the next stage of brexit instead of coping out behind no deal's excuse of not paying the divorce bill.
what kind of trade deal do you want with the EU and the rest of the world? Same?
regulation alignment? common external tariffs? common level of protection for workers? level playing field for state aids?

Since it's weekend I think you all deserve to see a Comedy Video and this one is a corker.

Apparently all they actually promised was summed up in two words

WE COULD
Incredibly the majority o Referendum voters fell for it! especially when you thinks of the gang of serial liars who were selling this fantasy.

And this video demonstrates that even Boris was terrified of the consequences, so why do we still get people saying "We should have left the following Monday?
Cue the dim witted response from the usual culprits
