Brexit update

As each day goes by, the actual Brexit date gets nearer.

And blind panic sets in, except in Westminster, where the PM presented her updated plan for Brexit by saying it had not changed and her red lines all remain. Anyone would think she had lost the vote by just 30 votes last week, not the 230 it actually was.

She has also rejected a second referendum, and no Brexit, meaning that unless Parliament takes charge, then no deal is the only possible other outcome.

Saying that, it is possible that the DUP and some Brexiteers are shifting their position and may support the WA if it were presented again. But for it to actually be ratified, 115 MPs would have to change sides, and that seems highly unlikely. And it seems that May is doing some underhand tricks in relation to the next MV, with quoting the wrong clauses in the Withdrawal Bill meaning that MPs have to resubmit their amendments. I can't say I understand it all, nor can the constitutional experts I have seen comment, but there has to be some reason, as it was done as a written statement after business for the day had ended.

Meanwhile, a Conservative MP Tweeted that he had asked the Government of Poland to vote against an extension of A50 is requested by his own Government.

These are extraordinary times and will get ever more so in the next few weeks.

Oh, and arch-Brexiteer, James Dyson, announced his company is moving their head office from Wiltshire to Singapore. Very much outside the EU , then. You really could not make this shit up.
