Both me and him agreed a while ago to generally agree to disagree on Brexit.

However, I will say that a simple trade agreement with all of the EU is never gonna happen. Simple as in no tariffs across the board? The EU would never go for it. The closest we could get would be similar to the Norway deal. However, the EU shot that idea down a long time ago.

Haha I appreciate that

Yes, we agree to disagree on this. We could go back and forth arguing our case but it's too fundamental a difference of opinion, and the topic too toxic to ever just be banter. I've never claimed to speak for or represent the Leave vote as a group, many of whom I find awful and I certainly distance myself from those politicians who've tried to hijack it for their own ends (especially Boris and Farage). My issue has always been about democracy and I'm happy just to leave it at that.

the pound is on a rollercoaster today with all the back and forths

moog synthesizer favors may’s deal, pound rallies

whip fails at containing multiple choice, hesitation

bercow says no, freefall

etc etc (right now slowly climbing back)

gonna be an interesting ride from tonight and monday!

May announcing she's quitting starts a whole new subplot as the tories start thinking about her replacement.

as i understand she didn't say how soon after ha ha ha

(everything gets parsed to death with these things)

The general consensus is she'll step down may 22nd.

oh i see.

news are coming out that her deal is increasingly likely to pass

bunch of former opponents now supporting

Swear you wouldn't see as many flip flops on Miami beach as you would in parliament tonight

Doesn't even bare thinking about. Who do you reckon will get it?

boris bercow-moog

i just heard him scream DIVISIOOOOOOOOOON!!! like he was getting a bayonet in the ribs

DUP sez no support for may, pound crashes HARD

I think the MPs want Jeremy Hunt but I can see the members (and therefore ultimately the party) going ...

So I suppose the next question is would Boris beat Corbyn, given a gen. election would almost inevitably come soon after the new Tory leader is announced.

Chuka sobbing quietly in the background "but but the people want a rational centre!" as Boris and Corbyn send both sides into enthusiastic fits

Boris will do something like this the day his leader campaign is announced and the right-wing media and Brexiteers will completely lap it up. They love it.

sssssssso...

im reading at the summary of yesterday's news and it looks like the tories would rather have no deal than any other viable option?

a customs union and a new referendum got the most votes but got rejected, the dupes won't back may, and so...

what's left? nothing?

why not just do it tomorrow then?

so ingleses, will you end up with an accidental no-deal?

the price of the pound says you’re getting reamed right now

but it could go way lower. i can only see this century prices, circa $1.20, in 2016...

guess i’ll be buying my laphroaig cheap... especially if europa has trouble importing lol

the pound going down the shitter seems to be saying may will fail AGAIN
