Brexit.

[seafoid]

Cox, the AG, has said the UK still cannot unilaterally withdraw. A dead duck?

However, the legal risk remains unchanged that if through no such demonstrable failure of either
party, but simply because of intractable differences, that situation does arise, the United Kingdom
would have, at least while the fundamental circumstances remained the same, no internationally
lawful means of exiting the Protocol's arrangements, save by agreement.

Of course they can't

What they wanted was legally, politically and practically impossible.
May got an ok  deal for someone who wanted the red lines . She had to give up a lot to get it but that is what she negotiated.
The ERG are insane.   

[yellowcard]

It is looking increasingly likely that the deal will not pass.

How long before English nationalists begin directing their anger towards Ireland for thwarting Brexit altogether if as now looks likely, Brexit will be at the very minimum delayed. The blame game will thus begin and those same English nationalsits will begin questioning how 6 counties in Ireland appear to have scuppered their fantasies.

The deal is definitely not passing Cox has just put the tin hat on it!

It looks like it effectively boils down to whether the DUP can accept it or not.

JRM saying as much this morning, Wee Sammy wants more time to get feedback from the Attorney General and that other legal eagle from Donaghadee who supplies doormen to the finest North Down establishments.

If the DUP accept it they  will bring a good few ERG jihadis along. May has a working majority of 3.
If they say no there will be another referendum and Brexit will die.
So it's real senior hurling

It's bizarre to think that possibly the biggest decision that the UK has made since WW2 lies in the hands of the DUP. By a sheer accident of numbers they have had way more influence during this entire process than they ought to have had. 

Will they side with English nationalism and go against all of the advice of local business leaders, farmers, economists and the head of civil service? If they say no again then I'm not sure exactly where it leaves them since we could be facing into an extension of article 50 and a general election which would see them ousted from power.

Again . . . where the f**k are Sinn Fein??!!!

Martina Anderson was front row centre in Brussels when Barnier and Mayhem were speaking.

Oh well then they're doing a great job!!

Brexit is like catfishing on the internet
A lonely gobshite in Ireland meets an attractive lady online . She lives in Nigeria
She is very attractive. He falls in love with her . Pays her bills and then flies out to meet her.
But she doesn't exist.

but you're not there
No you're not real
Still I believe

Remainers will be happy with what Cox has just said - it will be front and centre after an extension comes into play.

DUP cant back the new deal - once the GE happens they will be surplus to requirements.

Team Ireland handed  the Brits their arse on a plate this time around
The Shinners were part of the effort. ITV and elsewhere   
Everybody contributed
It's a pity Fearon wasn't around to see a 32 county effort

If this withdrawal deal fails - everyone is a loser. There is nothing to celebrate. Looking at this as winners and losers is unhelpful.

If it fails no version of Brexit can be approved by Parliament. There will be a second referendum
the time for humming and hawing is over. If tories want Brexit they have to vote for it

[RadioGAAGAA]

Depends on the job they are trying to do.

On the assumption that a hard Brexit leaves a United Ireland infinitely more likely to occur within the next 5 years, if that is Sinn Fein's primary aim, over peoples economic well being, then you gotta say, well played.

As Napoleon said; do not interrupt your enemy when they are making a mistake.

ERG have rejected the latest fudge.

[yellowcard]

Seems like such an eternity since Nigel Farage triumphantly declared after the referendum that this would be their independence day.

[seafoid]

ERG have rejected the latest fudge.

they want a No deal

They'd be fine with that, yes.
