Brexit chaos squared

ust when you thought things could not get any crazier in Brexitlalaland, the ERG managed to get 48, at least, MPs to send in letters of no confidence to the 1922 backbencher committee.

There will be a vote between 17:00 and 20:00 tonight, with the result announced some point later. If she is defeated, then she will face a contest with person(s) unknown. If she wins, it depends on the margin of victory. A slim victory and she would have to go.

Thank kind of thing.

If there is to be a leadership contest, then Brexit will have to either be delayed or stopped. But it can only be delayed a few weeks because of EU elections, and stopping the A50 process must be in good faith, i.e. stopping for good, not for a tactic so UK can decide what it wants.

A delay would be subject to approval by the EU 27, stopping Brexit would be for good, not for a few weeks/months.

But don’t worry, those two dim chaps, DD and Raab have come up with a (cunning) alternative Brexit plan, in which they think a totally new WA (without backstop) can be agreed and ratified before 29th March. Next year.

Either these really are the two dumbest twats ever to hold high office or they are lying. But as I said before of DD, it is probably both. And remember these two are against the very deal the two of them helped negotiate.

It is madness.

On stilts.

The EU looks on bewildered, wondering what became of the UK, always seemed so stable.

But then the EU has bigger fish to fry, having today announced a trade deal with Japan. Which Britain will benefit for for four months, maybe.

Yesterday, May went on a tour of four European capitals with the objective of begging for help in breaking the deadlock. At home with her own party. As expected, the EU said the WA was closed, but they might help with some wording in a statement. JRM then blew this out of the water when he said rewording it wasn’t enough, it would have to be gone for the ERG to accept it. The EU won’t ratify the WA without it, as, let me put this bluntly, they don’t trust the UK any more to keep its word.

And that is where we are. Until tonight when there PM might quit or enter into a 6 week leadership contest. Or not. Who knows.

This is actually exciting, and would be funny if it were just the Conservative Party being torn apart, but they are also doing that to the country. Whilst Corbyn looks on.
