Vote Leave cabinet members are in a meeting at the moment let's see what happens. Dodgy moment for the government!
I heard on The Spectator Podcast a theory that the World Cup is well timed for May since the Saturday papers will be all about the game and resignations would be pushed off the headlines.... |

The difference between you and me is that I have no objection to a new referendum given the state of play, the additional information we now have, and the slim majority for Leave. Whereas you actually want a new referendum because of the slim majority and your hope that it'll produce a Remain result. Had it been the other way round, would you agree to a second referendum? To be clear, I'm not asking for a second referendum. I'm asking May to deliver her commitment to 'Brexit means Brexit' as it would be understood in the ordinary sense. |

What is sad is that, during the 2016 campaign (also known as "Project Fear"), it was pointed out that we would be in trouble if we leave with no deal which now looks more and more likely:
EU referendum: CBI warns of UK exit 'serious shock' Brexit 'huge blow' warns ex-World Trade Organisation boss I guess people cannot complain that they were not told? The biggest con in this whole debacle is that the Leave campaign did not have a plan, a real world, financially costed and detailed plan. I, for one, would have no complaints if everyone was given a detailed viable strategy on how we could transition from an EU member state to one operating as a "third country" without a serious cost to the country and its citizens. FFS even Corbyn put together a costed manifesto at the last election and he's an idiot! What did Leave give us? Look here and you can see the master plan in all its glory: http://www.voteleavetakecontrol.org/why_vote_leave.html |

The people voted Leave in the traditional democratic way. It behoves the losers to support our step into the next phase of our nation. |

Theresa May is indeed delivering Brexit. It won't be in the form that everyone approves of but that is an impossible task. |

NO such thing as Hard Brexit either. Sick of telling you this. The result was not a slim majority either, over one million people voted to leave than Remain - the result was binary, the answer was to leave, not leave but let's stay in parts of the EU. You do know what "Leaving" something means don't you ? If 17.4 Million people do not get the Brexit they voted for, do you honestly think we are just going to sit there and smile and say, ok then just ignore then what I voted for, betray me and what we voted for, there will be a revolt and riots will quite possibly happen and I will be there because what I voted for, that WON, in a Democracy is being denied and that is NOT acceptable!!! |

2. Hard Brexit is an accepted term used in publications and other media throughout the world. I've given you links to prove this but you may not have had the opportunity to read them so I get your exasperation. Here they are: http://www.itv.com/news/2016-10-14/what-is-hard-brexit/ https://fullfact.org/europe/what-is-hard-brexit/ http://time.com/4635762/theresa-may-...rexit-britain/ https://www.express.co.uk/news/polit...et-immigration 3. 52-48 is slim compared to a two-thirds majority. In Norway there was a similarly slim majority to join the EU. So the country decided not to as it was not a compelling majority but instead opted to join the EEA. 4. I know what leave means Mick. Some may not like it but the can will be kicked gradually down the road, and there won't be one sudden flare-up point. I do respect those who want a clean break. I find this more honest than saying we want to leave and then complaining that the pesky EU won't let us in Galileo and Europol. That's having your cake and eating it. |

We must leave the EU in it's entirety, this is what Democracy decided and it must be enacted, no matter what. Many people made their mind up way before any campaigns began, I know I did. |

Happy Government decides what to ask for day (and it only took two years)! Will May survive until the weekend?
