If you gave Davis the benefit of the doubt, maybe he expects no deal (despite the name) to be the backstop to the WA, thereby giving us a transition and an opportunity to negotiate Super Canada.0

May's deal has a transition period, the final deal is very much up for grabs after that. The backstop is customs union without single market for GB so far as I can tell - not something the EU would like us to be in for too long.TheWhiteRabbit said:If you gave Davis the benefit of the doubt, maybe he expects no deal (despite the name) to be the backstop to the WA, thereby giving us a transition and an opportunity to negotiate Super Canada.

Well you know that and I know that Pulpstar - I was just trying to put Davis' best foot forward as he seems incapable of splitting the WA and the long term partnership up in his head.Pulpstar said:

Of all the possible futures being considered, the one where Boris Johnson takes over as PM from Theresa May is one of the most improbable. He's not up and coming, he hasn't got an image of experience and competence, a lot of people would be pleased if the last thing they did in politics was to ensure he didn't get the job, and he'd never get past the "War Book 2". (Disclosure: he's the only one of the main possible contenders for the Tory leadership I'm red on, but I'm very happy with that.)
Meanwhile David Davis is calling for a Commons vote on May's proposed WA before she meets EU27 leaders. He's right, and I hope the opposition parties join the call.0 -
It is of course worrying that one of these people will be negotiating the final deal. I would go for Rudd then, um, then...er...and...hmm...ah....Hunt perhaps.
I am not alone in the Cons party to think like this but I appreciate that there are a lot of complete fkin idiots out there who would love JRM or Boris in place.0 -

Yes but best to string out and delay that vote as long as possible. Hopefully they'll be plenty of time for debate as well as amendments being attempted to be put forward. Bercow should oblige us on that front I'd hope ?Richard_Nabavi said:

The EU have not gone about things in a particularly good manner in my view.

I do think Hunt or Rudd as leader is the only viable option in the short to medium term for the Tories. I was amused by the story yesterday about David Cameron coming back as leader as advocated by one of his former minions. I actually wonder if the Tories are at a point where a replacement party with similar qualities without the Eurosceptics is required.0 -

"View: The oil price is now controlled by just three men
OPEC has lost what control of the oil market it ever had. The actions (or tweets) of three men — President Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin and Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman — will determine the course of oil prices in 2019 and beyond. But of course they each want different things."

Is it mad to think that once EU pretty much agree deal, May will announce that firm commitment to 'no new referendum' was a necessary ruse to get EU concentrating on what to negotiate if we do leave. Had referendum been announced before EU would give bad terms to persuade us to stay, so ruse of saying no new referendum was necessary. Once a deal of some sort has been negotiated, she can now say the public's information has changed on what brexit deal will be then the public should get a new say on what is to happen.
May has form for this sort of thing, but that didn't work out too well last time.
The people this would really annoy are those saying 'get on with it' but that seems to me like saying 'don't want a new referendum because we might lose'. That seems like it should be easy to marginalise as trying to do something against current will of the people.
Not sure if this would be seen as coup for May, or more like snatching respite from jaws of defeat, or something else? (Probably more like politically impossible for reasons I can't see, so feel free to enlighten me.)0 -

Why do you only seem to care who 'owns' Brexit. Labour have the ability to categorically prevent no deal. There is an argument that they should not vote for the deal in order to prevent that because other no deal options are available (how realistically is up for debate) but screwing the Tories, or having them screw themselves, should not matter in the slightest. If it was deal or no deal Labour will be crucial, and whoever puts them in that position Labour will be accountable for their own choice.bigjohnowls said:

So a new PM can revoke the current one - then issue a new Article 50 notice, with a new two year window to negotaite a deal that isn't as shite as May's....
For all the shite that ERG are getting right now, they look like strategic titans compared to Remainers.
Edit: Hardcore Brexiteers on Twitter seem to be worried with Mickey Fab's plan that the vote might actually get through with Labour help. An unfounded worry right now I think.
I really can't see it getting through without a Labour 3-line whip to abstain though. No sign of that - yet. But it's what I'd do if I was Labour. Let the Tories tear themselves to bits over "their" Brexit.
Tories own BREXIT
At present they are rejecting the choice as being that binary, which certainly makes it simpler for them. But the Tories getting all or most blame hardly matters here.0 -
He certainly is, I've had to quit the party over his reckless threat to vote down the deal. Which is a shame because I the local Lib Dems round here are a great bunch.bigjohnowls said:

Rubbish. The Tories themselves are saying that a better deal can be achieved so why on earth wouldn't Labour advance the argument that if there is a better deal to be had, they are the ones who should be charged to achieve it?kle4 said:
Why do you only seem to care who 'owns' Brexit. Labour have the ability to categorically prevent no deal. There is an argument that they should not vote for the deal in order to prevent that because other no deal options are available (how realistically is up for debate) but screwing the Tories, or having them screw themselves, should not matter in the slightest. If it was deal or no deal Labour will be crucial, and whoever puts them in that position Labour will be accountable for their own choice.bigjohnowls said:
