I find it interesting that JRMs investment firm has warned its clients of he financial dangers of a hard Brexit and has set up an arm in Ireland. It is claimed that this new office is nothing to do with Brexit. Yeah. !!!8216;Course it!!!8217;s not.

I saw that.

Unfortunately JRM could take a dump on any Brexiteer's dinner table and they'd still be muttering something about the will of the people. Hes conned them hard.

Ooops.

Did you avoid linking to the article as we may be able to click it and find the actual reason they are cutting jobs? Rather than your implication?

Brilliant marketing trick. Let's be honest, not much Bolly or Krug gets quaffed down the local Wetherspoons. He's playing to his core market.

If it's meaningless then there's a good chance the government won't get their amendment through parliament.

Luckily it won't disrupt the government plan for brexit because there isn't one.

So let us have a GE then.

Can for me. A government that can't govern needs to step aside.

Agreed TM needs to have a vote of confidence and Soubry et al need to vote against her if they do not trust her on Brexit.

There has to be a decision either way.

We can't have an effective GE without mainstream parties offering clear positions though, can we? (specifically on Brexit)

What's stopping Labour making it all about nationalising the rail and energy, or bribing students, or cancelling Universal Credit?

Political turmoil in Germany as well
The CSU ends it!!!8217;s coalition with Merkel!!!8217;s lot.

Edit-Stop the press, the above may be fake news!

I've been predicting TM will be the recipient of a knife in the back since the last general election. It's still coming but she's extremely resilient - wouldn't surprise me if she led the Tories into another snap election.

I can't wait to see Labour's and the Tory manifesto brexit positions. I suspect, even for a manifeto promise, they'll be woolly in the extreme.

A new election would seem to be the only way to solve this issue.
