I took a little flak on here for saying that No Deal will not happen. My reasons were based on the facts in front of me:
Parliament is utterly opposed to No Deal
Theresa May has never wanted No Deal
Her Chancellor (and Michael Gove) who are the only ones in her Cabinet with economic nous have utterly opposed No Deal.
Because TM cannot be removed from office as things stand there was, simply, very little way in which No Deal could occur.
However, things go rather deeper than this. May's family is the Conservative party. They have badly let her down, as she would see it. She has realised that the ERG are a complete menace, a law unto themselves and a party within a party. She could never get her deal through the House of Commons by appealing to that extremist hard right. She has now realised that and, hilariously, they have woken up to the fact that they are currently impotent.
Mike Smithson long ago derided Jacob Rees-Mogg and the ERG shower. How right he was. And anyone who had lingering doubts about that should have heard Mishal Hussain rip him to pieces this morning over his support for the Nazi sympathising AfD.
I'm not yet sure if the ERG will be removed from the Conservative Party in the way that Militant Tendency were, but they should be. The Tories will never, ever, ever, ever, ever, win a majority with them in control.0 -
Squaddies in Afghanistan letting off steam with paint balls against Jezza was foolish and the more so to put it out on social media. 24 hours later Jezza might have been endorsing the PM condolences after one of those lads was killed in action.JosiasJessop said:

To make it clear: I'm not surprised this happened given the situation squaddies often find themselves in, and I can understand them letting off steam. I also agree it was almost certainly not targeted (if you know what I mean).Dura_Ace said:

He's always seemed polite, but a bit like Corbyn there are times that suddenly stops . I dont know about this morning but his pettiness and making up his own constitutional norms after losing the vote of no confidence in may indicated he can devolve quickly when things dont go his way.TOPPING said:

Of course the ERG are far-right. Sooner they are called out, the better. The mask has slipped and people are starting, slowly, to realise the ideologically driven mess they have led this country into.
Theresa May has cottoned on. If she's got any sense she won't give up her premiership in a hurry.0 -
Or pmqs means nothing as usual and the merits of the deal or any compromise are not impacted either way. If it is used as a reason for anything it would be a lame excuse, like Nandy when may criticised mps or ERGers changing their votes because may said she'd stand down.TOPPING said:Amazing really - going at it hammer and tongs at Jezza.

Good Morning Scotland , BBC Radio ScotlandDavidL said:
What is GMS?malcolmg said:
I thought maybe you were hitting the big time on GMS.DavidL said:
Nope. I was in the Sheriff Appeal Court yesterday minding my own business.malcolmg said:
Was that you on GMS yesterday David, Was a David L spokesman for Advocates on.DavidL said:So May has finally made her choice and it is not to the advantage of the ERG position. Who would have thought that that could happen? Pretty much anybody with average intelligence I would say which of course leaves a lot of ERG members in the dark. They will probably still get a Brexit although that remains less than guaranteed but it will be a much softer Brexit than they could have had by supporting May's deal from the outset.
The priority remains getting this sorted. The economy has surprised even me with its robust response to our imminent departure but investment and capital spending are undoubtedly being affected by people not knowing what the rules might be in 8 days time. The irresponsibility of our political class has consequences, as the ERG are now finding out.0 -

No it should not. PM is an office representing the country, Leader of the Opposition is a title representing a party. It works both ways by being consistent regardless of who is PM.kinabalu said:
But that should work both ways. It has to be "May meets Corbyn" or "PM meets Opposition Leader".Philip_Thompson said:No just the authority of office. If Brown had met Cameron in similar circumstances the headline would have been "PM to meet Cameron for talks"
Bit rich for the BBC to expect me to pay my licence fee when my favoured political leader is so shamelessly disrespected.
Same in USA the President is the President. Rivals are not.
Also for headline writers for whom brevity is important, PM is 2 characters while Leader of the Opposition is 24.0 -
