Next question.
Gin1138 is right, it is all very exciting, but let us not forget that the EU and our government agreed a deal before, and their thinking they've come up with something that will get through parliament is no guarantee. There's still almost half of parliament, remainers and leavers, who have no reason to back any deal whatsoever, even if they claim they might entertain the idea.
So a breakthrough of sorts, which might switch a few more people to a deal? Perhaps. Enough to see it passed? To persuade the reasonable folks of the *checks list* DUP and ERG?
I'll believe it when I see it.
(Still, at least the hat has gone.....).
It's Remainers that May needs to win over, and they are fixated on the idea that if the deal is vetoed May will revoke. While it would be nice to think this was possible, I fear they a tragically and disastrously mistaken. Their intransigence is more likely to end in No Deal.
Why is Theresa May wearing a bomb disposal outfit ?
Edit: I could have gone for the easy Irish joke like that poser RobD, but I have too much integrity for that
They were right - the negotiation has deadlocked. No not the one with the EU. The one in the Cabinet.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, one of the group said they had primed veteran Tory MP Bill Cash and his legal assistants to work through the night to examine any concessions May secures from her Strasbourg meeting.

I'd definitely support languages be taught a primary school, it seems such a useful skill but it's so easy to not find the time later.
Learned Spanish as an adult and it has stuck, because the teaching methods were far superior ...... ie I paid for them privately.

Really might be the case that the rather shiny GB train is leaving the station though.
In most ways, perhaps all ways, I hope its a stopping service.
The AG will definitely change his legal advice if Leigh is correct on this unilateral declaration .
PS - I know that's not the correct Latin but I can't be arsed.
Forse continuerò in italiano......

Amusing though. Which one is Cox, the one in contempt of parliament?
And of all the reasons to dislike Gove, as a non-Tory, why would stabbing Boris in the back be one of them?
If it's tantamount to putting an end-date in the WA, surely the EU would no more accept it than that?
Although I think the EU would countenance an end date after say, five or ten years (wherears the ERG want 10 months!).
Which is a pretty shocking thought.
We have made this training available to the Labour Party NEC, NCC, and staff which has not been taken up...
We cannot accept the suggestion that the Party knows better than its Jewish affiliate, or the Jewish community what constitutes antisemitism. Particularly when in recent days press reports have demonstrated the Party has failed time and again to identify clear cases of antisemitism, with senior members of the Leader of the Opposition's Office directly intervening in disciplinary cases.
Whilst the Equalities and Human Rights Commission explore our referral of the Labour Party for institutional racism, we cannot in good faith continue to provide our training whilst the Party seek to undermine our role in this way..."
Gervais gets up my nose at times and I questioned whether he’d lost it after splitting with Stephen Merchant but fair play, I thought this series was top drawer.
Yay! The start of Cheltenham tomorrow!!
The whole thing is about convenient legal advice. The EU having unreasonably refused to change everything to help Mr Codpiece out of a legal hole of his own making, now stands by while he makes it up (unilaterally).
