Wednesday Brexit (morning)

Yesterday, The Lancet, published a scathing report on Brexit, that how, contrary to what was written on the side of a bus, Brexit in all its possible forms would make the NHS worse off.

Was that in the small print?

Brexiteers and the Mail and Express are fighting hard against any kind of extension to A50, this is because that, first, an extension is clearly needed to sort of the legal process of transferring 46 years of UK legislation that references the EU and UCJ to ones that don’t. Secondly, clearly 2 or three months is not enough, and that would mean delaying Brexit to the point when it became clear that Brexit is not worth doing.

A delay of 21 months would mean having to have EU elections in May, and passing the required legislation.

Even for a 2nd referendum, at least a year is needed, again to pass the legislation, to decide what two questions to ask of the people.

And thirdly, any kind of delay will show Brexit to be the incoherent mess it clearly is, and it will be dropped in stages.

They fear a referendum would reverse the first one, but then most people assumed that remain would win the first, because its like, common sense and logical.

What Brexit has shown, to do in in two years, overseen by the worse PM in living memory, who appointed people to deliver it, not on ability but because they “believed” in Brexit, guaranteed that Brexit would fail, but rather than admit the clusterfuck she has caused, May would rather push ahead, make the country and each and every one of us poorer, decimate industry, exports, wreck the NHS, all so the Conservative Party stayed whole a few extra month or years.

Of course, the Tories claim to be the party of financial prudence, of business and investment in Britain will be forever lost, as the party will try to distance itself from those who drove the country over the cliff. Either in March or May or June 2019 or on January 1st 2022. The party will never recover.

And neither will Labour, as the party that facilitated Brexit, failed to hold the Government to account.

That a week after the Independent Group was formed, the PM is talking about extension, and Corby talking about a second referendum, shows how a few strong willed MPs broke the deadlock. Who knows what both leaders will be suggesting in a week, or in 30days, on Brexit Eve?
