Thought I'd start a new thread as this is going to be a major talking point this year...have not made up my mind yet...(unlike bucksfizz)....but thinking of voting for an exit as Europe is not doing Britain any good at all it seems....

Which May says she will not do, or extend it. She is the boss, Corbyn is merely a confused onlooker.

No, iturama. Parliament becomes the new boss on Monday. May is nothing more than their bitch.

hils - that's a very sexist and derogatory comment .... you'll be up before the beak if you don't watch out

Even if it is true?

There is no consensus to revoke Article 50 and it has to be genuine not a delaying tactic.

interesting that the markets remain sanguine but very quiet

And unless the government agree otherwise I've not yet heard of a way of extending Article 50.

Happy days.

Tic toc.

I said there was a concensus that a no deal can't be allowed to happen, Dil. An Article 50 extension or revocation is the only way of implementing that concensus as things stand.

As for the delaying tactic argument, I did read that the EU had said that, but I don't really see it as being their call, as the legal ruling is that the UK can revoke it unilaterally.

An extension is something different, and that would require the consent of the other EU27, so there would need to be a valid reason.

Now that Corbyn has made a twit of himself and failed, TM might surprise you all and go for broke on Monday and call a GE - and would I expect wipe the table and rid Labour of Corbyn soon after.

TM is in control and has now provided proof thast she can see off Labour and its supporters.

52% and maybe more now want the Clean Break they voted for.

The legal boys and girls are rubbing their hands in glee.

Hils , I'm sure it was the court that ruled it could only be revoked if it were genuine and not a delaying tactic.

"genuine" ???

Go read up on it Fred if your that thick.

Gloom shrouds UK housing market outlook as Brexit nears
Andy Bruce, William Schomberg
3 MIN READ

LONDON (Reuters) - The outlook for Britain’s housing market is darkening fast ahead of Brexit, with sales expectations falling to their lowest level in at least 20 years by one measure, surveys showed on Thursday.

BVS figures and forecast contradict that, and i think the same went for TWS

Motion Monday, vote 29 January.

"Outlook".

I hold, but!

Oh no , first housing market down turn in history.

Fred - Not that you would be asked but Would you sit down with TM to discuss how a solution could be found without setting down the condition your leader has. i.e. Take No Deal off the Table?

Your leader is happy to sit down with all sorts of terrorists without conditions but not TM - does her fear that she will put him under her spell?

It seems to me that your leader fears her powers of persuasion or maybe he is only happy dealing with a woman when they are as clueless as his sidekick Diane Abbott, who has trouble with not only her maths but her memory.

Is the Truth really that JC wants a Clean Break but wants to blame the Tories.

Dil,

I think there just needs to be a democratic process before the revocation. I guess that probably means a parliamentary majority.
