Reality closes in. Closer.

This morning the Government, under great pressure, released the text of their appeal last week in the Court of Session regarding their appeal in referring the question of whether A50 can be reversed unilaterally. Still with me? Well, the view of all 5 of the Government’s QCs was that Parliament could instruct the Government to do just that.

It is worth pointing out at this moment that this is the view of UK QCs, but tomorrow the view of the UCJ will be known. It is unlikely that it will be any different from the QCs.

The point to this, is that the Government has known this for the best part of a year, and has tried everything, spending huge amounts of money to prevent this legal point of view being made public, especially by Parliament.

The only reason for this was to ensure that the meaningful vote would be a take it or leave it on her WA reached with the EU last week.

All this flies in the face of the Brexiteers claim Brexit itself was about restoring sovereignty to Parliament from Brussels.

More impact assessments have been released today, this time showing the UK will be £90 to 100 billion poorer by 2030, and the Exchequer something like £40 short too. In response, May says that such forecasts have been wrong before. But with 95% of forecast suggesting much the same……

And in the Commons today, Corbyn still sticks to the line he would be able to negotiate a better deal if he were PM, and get it done before March 29th. For the avoidance of doubt, this is a lie. I have had enough of people telling us that complex things are simple. Its what got us into this mess.

Over an hour into cross-questioning of the PM in the Commons, and not one MP, of any party, is actually backing her “plan”. Jo Johnson asked her to name a part of the UK that will be better off than now under her deal. She could not answer. Remember she has to get the majority of the house to vote to ratify the WA. Not looking good.
