    I know a lot of you will shout "but it's from the Express", but it is no different to quoting from other papers.

    It is a bit different because the Express is a paper that doesn’t even tell the truth about the weather forecast!
    I’m not sure I would trust their TV listings.

    Well, as it's written by ex-kipper Patrick O'Flynn, us remoaners can only concede (without shouting) it's completely unbiased and is indeed The Truth, The Whole Truth and Nothing But The Truth. :rotfl:

    So this video is faked is it?

    ah yes, the usual "experts are unequivocally wrong because they don't agree with me, however a newspaper which is full of disinformation is right because it agrees with me" line of "thinking"

    Blair admitted to Andrew Neil that he had been telling EU leaders that the UK would crumble and in his view succumb to a second referendum and therefore remain would come out winners..

    This in my opinion is why Tusk had his little tantrum last week, he finally realised that we wouldn't be changing our minds and now the very best he can hope for is a soft Brexit....

    Over the weekend a bit milder, next week a bit colder, or in Express language:
    UK weather WARNING: Met Office warns UK to be hit by early spring as temperatures ROCKET
    UK weather forecast: Britain braced for another FREEZE with snow and ice as temps PLUMMET


    It's a good source for IMPARTIAL news about BREXIT though... ;)
    Don't blame me, I voted Remain.

    I read that TM wants more time from MPs.

    I guess her strategy is to delay it as much as possible. When presented in parliament 7 days before Brexit, the MPs have to choose either reject her plan (which ends up in No Deal Brexit) or accept her Withdrawal Plan.

    As MPs are fearful of No Deal, they will all accept TM's WA.
    Happiness is buying an item and then not checking its price after a month to discover it was reduced further.

    That's been the plan for a while now, will be interesting to see if the more Remain leaning Tory MPs go along with it though, otherwise the chance of No Deal must be growing significantly higher, I don't think it is likely that Theresa May can deliver any WA that the ERG will vote for, that leaves her needing a hell of a lot of votes from elsewhere to get it through parliament.

    Oh?

    On the This Week show, Portillo suggested that JRM/ERG had shifted quite a lot in accepting the May deal.

    The stumbling block was the NI/ROI border.

    Calling it the "May deal" is probably pushing it a bit, they've all agreed to vaguely sign up to something that they know there is precious little chance of the EU committting to, maybe harsh but it looks like the UK Govt never really got far beyond negotiating with itself, the one time May did agree something with the EU she ended up voting against it herself.
