With you own beige one....

I would not have gone through all the work I did to ensure that we reached that agreement only to see it changed in some way through these bills. They do not change that Chequers agreement. And the minister from the despatch box later today will be making that clear...
... which I look forward to hearing.

Taliban?
I'm not fond of throwing around pejorative terms that are exaggerations, and that's well over the top. When ardent Leave types call hard Remainers 'traitors', people, understandably, get quite upset about it. This sort of thing isn't going to calm down the bitter division, but, rather, add a few more drops into the poisonous miasma floating this way and that between the trenches.
And yes, I know terms like 'Turnip Taliban' have been used for comic effect in the past. Right now we have accusations of racism and treachery being thrown around, so it's a different situation.
Bring on Jezza!
1) May is insane
2) May is so exhausted that she no longer gives a fuck about anything
3) May has made another huge mistake and will figure out at her leisure
4) The EU will be so amazed by May's breathtaking display of political masochism she'll be made empress of Europe
People thought:
'The UK will collect EU duties, but
The EU will NOT collect UK duties'
That's what people thought?
She gets an agreement through the cabinet , then a week later trashes it.
What a pitiful leader of her party and this country.

Time for that choice to be put back to the people?
Sees the Brexit loons are trying to wreck the country.
Goes back to reading about asteroid mining.
People can use what terms they wish. If said terms seem over the top to me, I'm quite content to make that observation. It'd be better if we considered ideas and means, rather than throwing insulting terms, but that's just my view.
For balance, I'd prefer it if Mcdonnell and Corbyn were heading into battle with them than May and Olly fucking Robbins.
It is IMPERATIVE that the EU member states see the whites of NO DEAL's eyes.
I don't know how much more of this chaotic to and fro we can take in the meantime though.

He surely can't have been comparing them to a fundamentalist Islamic army? He's not becoming one of the Re-mujahideen?
It is also the same amount of energy expended by certain "Leave" politicians to examine the feasibility of their preferred Brexit, thus the name of the group
Long Live Corbyn! (and Abbott and McDonnell and Long Bailey and Rayner and Watson)
As I have said before, thank God Dave was rather good at being PM. Look where his country and party are now, and think what trouble we would be in if he'd been a bit shit at it.
More than Cameron and Osborne did before the referendum...
Last week Soubry, Morgan and Adonis were singing her praises, this week JRM and co are running the show.
The truth is somewhat more devilishly complicated than that but these extremes are an example of how out of control she is of the message and events.
I personally think she's had it. The big question is whether the Tories can stay intact.
I look forward to HMG bowing to logic and adopting Labour party policy.
But now it is changed.
Does that mean the Cabinet are bound, or not bound, to support these amendments?
Sorry if there is an obvious answer to this.
Wow!
Uncle Remus.
Brer Rabbit and the tar baby.
Brexit.

On the amendments, not sure what's going on, but not particularly convinced this is actually such a big news story. Whatever deal is done will go through Parliament and presumably that can override these amendments if need be?
It occurred to me when they put on that show for him at Blenheim Palace that it was a scene stolen from 'Being There' where the sycophants were made to look foolish by taking Chance seriously.
But looking back everyone including Trump could see the absurdity of the scene and thanks to his TV experience he was just about able to carry it off without cracking up.
In fact the only one who didn't get the joke was the Queen who looked like she'd been used in a sitcom without being told
I believe she knows Chequers would run into trouble with the EU and is preparing to walk out when they do, blaming them for the failure, and announcing hard Brexit contingency planning.
In these circumstances I believe remain becomes impossible
(Incidentally, given how mindboggling the dance of government and parliament is in this negotiation, how would those rare people who proposed that somehow parliament, rather than government, should have run the negotiation think it would have worked in practice?)

1. Brexit has hit a brick wall which means we stay in the EU or crash out; there's no middle way now.
2. Trump has backed Putin over his own intelligence services.
In peace time it doesn't get much bigger really.
On the domestic front, what May has done today has ensured that however ambivalent Corbyn is over Brexit, the 2017 Labour voting alliance will hold together. He must be loving this.
