Overnight the Queen signed what’s become known as the Cooper-Letwin measures thus making it now the law that TMsy cannot take the UK out of the EU without a deal.
Letwin-Cooper is all very well but if Macron vetoes further extension this week, the Commons will either have to vote for the Withdrawal Agreement or to revoke Article 50 by Friday night to avoid No Deal

I'm sure they would be devastated if we revoked as a result of their bill.

And so Cooper will get her desire of no Brexit. A remarkable achievement
For a back bench MP out of favour with her party's leadership it is indeed. Assessments of her capability based on the fiasco of HIPs perhaps need to be revisited.

Have there been any recent polls for Leave/Remain? Surely 'Remain' must by now have enough of a lead to make a second referendum sound like the democratic thing to do.
The BBC's Victoria Derbyshire programme set Layla Moran, Andrew Bridgen and Yasmin Qureshi the task of putting aside their differences to answer Brexit-themed puzzles and questions. But can they get out on time?
And so Cooper will get her desire of no Brexit. A remarkable achievement
Fake news.
She doesn’t want No Brexit, she just wants to avoid a No Deal Brexit which even Gove concedes doesn’t honour the referendum campaign.
Yeah right that's the only thing she wants. Avoiding no deal and wanting remain complement each other. We can all be honest now, revoke is popular after all. If you honestly believe Cooper and Letwin do not seek for us to remain that seems very naive to me.
It's good we probably wont no deal now, well done her, but she was worked toward remain, let's not kid ourselves, unless you think she's about to back some sort of option now that takes remain off the table?

There were 60 odd in 2015, 86% of them had Remain winning and the average margin was 8%

As you grow older your education account develops, miistake by mistake, until in later life you gain wisdom and look back at some of your previous decisions in horror.
Hips and Yvette come into that category. I actually had considerable involvement with HIPS at the time and Yvette just would not listen to advice coming from many in the industry.

I'll believe Macron's intention to block an extension when it actually happens.

Leadsom as the White Queen:

I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. "

There isn't going to be any veto - Macron is simply playing hard cop and to his domestic audience. The EU will take a united consensus view and stick to it. Unlike our politicians.
» show previous quotes Last time I checked Scotland had a referendum on independence, and voted for the continuation of the Union.
Did you forget?
You cretinous dolt , that was because people wanted to be certain they would be in the EU. That worked out well, all that crap about how everyone's opinion would count , we would be at the table. Lying bunch of barstewards.

Aye. Newsnight was hilarious last night, suggesting Theresa May would be begging Macron for an extension.
The UK is STILL in control of events. We can revoke, take the deal, or leave with no deal. Just as we could five months ago.
If we really want 'an extension', we'd have to revoke and re-invoke at a later date (long enough so it not to look like we were abusing the process) so it would force us into a very long extension, but an extension we would get.
Some of us do some proper research about fantasy (for anyone who read Journey to Altmortis: the crowberries included in the story are real. Took me a little while to find naturally occurring sub-Arctic tundra edible berries, but it's a nice touch).

Exactly, it's transparent posturing for his domestic audience.
The PM and EU leaders need to work out a way forward that is suitable for all, which isn't going to come about until they all acknowledge that the Withdrawal Agreement isn't going to pass Parliament.
The alternative is that the UK holds the MEP elections, and elects a bunch of undesirables to mess with the EU budget planning later this year.

That was a particularly stupid comment from Uniondivvie given there are a number of us on here who support both Brexit and Scottish Independence.
The answer is crap as it would be impossible if England voted leave for the rest of the UK to change the result, that is the whole point , it is always what England wants that is enacted, with 86% of the population how else could it be , the union is crap for Scotland, fine for NI as they are a financial basket case unless they unite with south. Wales are so stuffed they are unable to be saved.

Back when I were a lad in the 1980s doing conveyancing the Scottish system was different in that missives (contracts) were concluded promptly and usually weeks before the date of entry allowing the seller to commit himself in turn to their next purchase. Unfortunately, that is no longer the case and parties frequently leave the contracts open, as I understand you do in England, until the day of settlement with the result that day, like Brexit, gets delayed. It is regrettable.
On surveys I would say that a buyer's survey focuses much more on risk factors, possible repair costs, re-sellability. The sellers' home report contains lots of largely irrelevant material in which you occasionally find something alarming, if you know how to read between the lines.

And they wouldn't be accepted by banks offering to mortgage the property, who insist on using their own people (as the HIPsters wouldn't have professional liability insurance to cover screwups). It was one of the most bonkers government policies in our lifetimes.

I have made it so that a typed apostrophe appears curly at once. Behold my formatting prowess!
(On a serious note, I dislike straight ones and I annoyed me for ages the first time I had to do this, so a quick fiddle getting the change done is delightful).
However, find and replace is very handy for checking things like triple full stops instead of ellipsis, repetition of things like 'the the', 'and and', 'a a' and so on.

One of my favourite songs when I was a teenager! Very good.
Currently the final round, after 16 eliminations, is: Buttigieg 50.6% Bernie: 31.1% Beto 18.3%
Biden not really figuring, even after you apply the "your name has to begin with B" rule and eliminate everyone else.
There was an interesting radio prog in the very early hours a couple of weeks ago between James Naughtie and Rhod Sharp who as youngsters were both reporters together in New York. Now well into middle age they were looking at possibe Democratic candidates.
One was pretty certain it would be won by the man with the unpronouncable name from Indiana and the other thought it would go to Beto O'Rourke who he had just interviewed. Thanks for reminding me to have a bet and giving me the name of the unpronouncable one.
Have there been any recent polls for Leave/Remain? Surely 'Remain' must by now have enough of a lead to make a second referendum sound like the democratic thing to do.
There were 60 odd in 2015, 86% of them had Remain winning and the average margin was 8%

Remain may well have actually been ahead in 2015. The campaigns probably changed minds

Huzzah for me!
c.f. Brexit...
But can they get out on time?
10-11am on BBC & News Channel
Hmmm!!!!
It's good we probably wont no deal now, well done her, but she was worked toward remain, let's not kid ourselves, unless you think she's about to back some sort of option now that takes remain off the table?

The second album was shite though. Nearly as bad as Radiohead.

Hips and Yvette come into that category. I actually had considerable involvement with HIPS at the time and Yvette just would not listen to advice coming from many in the industry.
To govern is to choose. It’s time those elected (and paid) to do so remembered that.
I'll believe Macron's intention to block an extension when it actually happens.
"“Alice laughed. 'There's no use trying,' she said. 'One can't believe impossible things.'
I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. 'When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast. "
It does kinda work, doesn't it?

Last time I checked Scotland had a referendum on independence, and voted for the continuation of the Union.
Did you forget?
You cretinous dolt , that was because people wanted to be certain they would be in the EU. That worked out well, all that crap about how everyone's opinion would count , we would be at the table. Lying bunch of barstewards.
The UK is STILL in control of events. We can revoke, take the deal, or leave with no deal. Just as we could five months ago.
If we really want 'an extension', we'd have to revoke and re-invoke at a later date (long enough so it not to look like we were abusing the process) so it would force us into a very long extension, but an extension we would get.
Some of us do some proper research about fantasy (for anyone who read Journey to Altmortis: the crowberries included in the story are real. Took me a little while to find naturally occurring sub-Arctic tundra edible berries, but it's a nice touch).

Currently the final round, after 16 eliminations, is:
Buttigieg 50.6%
Bernie: 31.1%
Beto 18.3%
Biden not really figuring, even after you apply the "your name has to begin with B" rule and eliminate everyone else.
The PM and EU leaders need to work out a way forward that is suitable for all, which isn't going to come about until they all acknowledge that the Withdrawal Agreement isn't going to pass Parliament.
The alternative is that the UK holds the MEP elections, and elects a bunch of undesirables to mess with the EU budget planning later this year.
Leavers even got some lawyers to say so.
How’d that turn out?
Her actions to try to prevent no deal are appreciated but her motivation is as direct as the noon day sun on a cloudless day.
And this might sound a naive question, but do buyers surveys and sellers surveys look different on the same property ?
Edit: Just checked, HIPs mandatory information never included a property survey !
On surveys I would say that a buyer's survey focuses much more on risk factors, possible repair costs, re-sellability. The sellers' home report contains lots of largely irrelevant material in which you occasionally find something alarming, if you know how to read between the lines.
And the ones that Corbyn gives you, don't do anything at all
Go ask Leadsome, when she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing unicorns, and you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a fat twat called Boris has given you the call
And call Leadsome, when she was just small
When the men on the '22 get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of polling, and your mind is moving low
Go ask Leadsome, I think she'll know
When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And JRM is talking backwards
And the Kate Hoey's off with her head
Remember what the Sajid said
Feed your head, feed your head
HIPs don't lie, Yvette.

"Expect soon to hear a new form of that old talk about a Conservative-UKIP alliance – this time round, of a Tory-Brexit Party pact."
I like that way of quoting from the previous thread

I have made it so that a typed apostrophe appears curly at once. Behold my formatting prowess!
(On a serious note, I dislike straight ones and I annoyed me for ages the first time I had to do this, so a quick fiddle getting the change done is delightful).
However, find and replace is very handy for checking things like triple full stops instead of ellipsis, repetition of things like 'the the', 'and and', 'a a' and so on.
One was pretty certain it would be won by the man with the unpronouncable name from Indiana and the other thought it would go to Beto O'Rourke who he had just interviewed. Thanks for reminding me to have a bet and giving me the name of the unpronouncable one.
