The other news blowing up my Twitter today is the Raheem Sterling Racism conversation, where white middle aged journalists are denying racism exists in the media. Which is almost as ridiculous as BREXIT today. Whether you think it's sensible or not is up to you but it's literally identical to the politics thread and that's the point I'm making.

I suggest if the Politics thread was removed because it wasn't wanted on the sub-forum anymore then this one really needs to go as well.... This thread isn't just for politics and the discussion so far has been congenial. There is only one mysoginist comment on the second to last page that could cause any concern for mods.

I don't have a problem with it per se, but it's already beginning to look identical to the politics thread and that's the point I'm making. I don't know exactly why that was pulled as it wasnt ever overly abusive as I saw it but as far as I can see this one will soon tick the same boxes.

Mayofox Posted 10 December 2018 Share Posted 10 December 2018 May spoke to several EU leaders over the weekend, and got the fixed response: we're not going to revisit the Withdrawal Agreement. I'm not sure the cabinet know what's going to happen. Gove was asked this morning on Radio 4 whether the vote was going ahead, and he confirmed it was. This is typed, safe in my bunker in the west of Ireland, watching events through my periscope! Good luck, chaps...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf Bentley Posted 10 December 2018 Share Posted 10 December 2018 29 minutes ago, Jon the Hat said: Interesting comment from Peston that TM can try to pass a motion to pull the vote, but that motion could well be voted down and the vote go ahead. What theatre! She is toast. I can only imagine she is either resigning or revoking article 50. The question is, has she got the balls to revoke it and invoke it again the following day? Reset the clock? There's a "good faith" element in the judgment allowing Article 50 revocation. All comments I've seen suggest that revoking and then invoking again would be deemed "bad faith" and wouldn't be accepted. I'm not sure exactly how the system would work, admittedly - and suspect that the EU probably doesn't either. I assume that any revocation would have to go to the European Council and/or Parliament and/or Commission for approval, though, so would probably take weeks to be approved.... I'd be astonished if she revoked Article 50 - and almost as surprised if she resigned at this stage. She doesn't seem the sort to quit at such a critical moment - indeed, she might have pulled the vote to avoid a risk of being forced to quit by her party. I'd expect her to announce that some final negotiations will take place, she'll be flying to Brussels....all with hints of concessions from the EU. I'm guessing that she'll probably get concessions of a sort - but probably only rhetoric and amendments to the non-binding agreement on future UK/EU relations. Highly unlikely enough that'd be enough to win over enough MPs, though, so where would she go then.......? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
