Sunday Brexit

It is the start of a new week in UK politics, and in 12 days, the UK is due to leave the EU (again), and there really is no time to lose, as the default is to leave. with no deal.

And no matter how many times the Commons and Lords say and vote they do not want no deal, in order to really take it off the table, there has to be another course of action that does not just have a majority, but a sizeable cross-party one at that. Because, there is no point in going down a route if that a change of PM means that will just be unpicked or reneged upon.

Already brexiteers are saying that vote for the WA to scupper it later, which would just make the situation worse, or May is pushing very hard no for no deal.

Here's a secret:

In the WA there are three things:

1. Citizen's rights

2. Financial settlement

3. Irish backstop.

The EU has said this week that in the event of no deal, there will be no side deals. Nothing. Nada.

So the lie of the so-called "managed no deal" is exposed for what it is. More unicorns and cake.

And before talks on anything begin, three issues will have to be addressed:

1. Citizen's rights

2. Financial settlement (in full)

3. Irish backstop.

So, the UK either accepts the WA in order have a TA and some kind of Brexit. Or be forced into accepting it in full with the backdrop of the effects of no deal, and not being able to do anything until it is accepted.

So, the DUPs apparent decision that Brexit is a price to high to pay (for the union), meaning that the backstop is in force either way, and the only way to avoid it is to revoke.

Well.
