No "real" Brexit then?

The only problem in keeping all Cabinet Ministers in lockdown with no access to their phones or social media, is that at some point you have to let them go.

It is true that all Ministers signed up to May's plan, although the more you look into it the more cakey it gets.

But the rebellion is under way;

First of all, JRM asked all Eurosceptic MPs, nee Brexiteers, not to tweet their displeasure, but to email him, at his investment bank's address.

And what with today being Sunday, the morning politics shows are rammed with Brexiteers offering their take on what the deal means or doesn't. It was pointed out by Bill Cash that only 48 rebel Tory MPs are needed to vote against the deal, and the ERG has 60, so in theory, they could bring the Government down, or try get the PM to change direction.

Thing about a fudge is that it could never satisfy everyone, or in this case make anyone really happy. Thing is, the UK economy is 80% based on services, and the deal that the Cabinet did was only for services, so the part that keeps the country going has been sacrificed, as no trade deal conducted thus far has included services.

It also raises the question on how close, and by how much, directly or indirectly, the UCJ will have jurisdiction over UK.

Labour, under Stamer, said that the deal as it stands meets any of its red lines, so would vote against it. But was does loveable old uncle Jeremy think?

Business isn't happy, mainly because the deal ignores the most profitable 80% of the economy, and without a deal that encompasses services more and more jobs will flood out of the country.

Just now, Boris is quoting as say that staying in the EU is preferable to a soft Brexit, but JRM doesn't think there is enough detail in the deal so he could say whether he would vote for or against it.

Meanwhile, what's good for the country is irrelevant.

NB. Cakey: to believe in sunlit uplands or having cake and eating it. Believing in trade based unicorns.
