Finally I know what will happen. The UK will leave the EU with 200 years transitional period. Hope you are happy now Laughing

Dame Judith is also expected to praise “positive moves” by the government - including the government’s announcements on Hinkley Point C, Heathrow Airport expansion and the HS2 rail project.

Ahahahaha!

Don't know if its been mentioned already as tldr but, in negotiating brexit how about threatening to lower our NATO contributions? How much leverage does that give us?

Leverage over whom?

Daddy Trump is already bawwing about the Colonials paying for most of NATO, and why would we want to wind up the God Emperor when he could just cut us off?

Looking East, Germany is busily annexing other EU militaries the EUSSR is forming a military of its own (yes, that "dangerous fantasy that is simply not true" Rolling Eyes), so it's not like NATO has much of a future anyway.

That ship has sailed long time ago. The problem is after all the antics the UK has lost all the diplomatic leverage they had in the last 40 years.

Do you seriously belive that you guys can put a clown like Boris Johnson and have any foreign EU affairs leverage?

The problem is when you do politics like Herr Twittler and May, nobody takes you seriously and EU does not believe a word of what they say.

NATO is about trust not money. $40 bilions is the UK contribution.

EU — which without the UK would have a collective GDP of $13.5 trillion compared to Britain’s $2.4 trillion.

That makes the UK contribution 0.26 % of the EU27 GDP. Probably Brussels bureaucrats spend more on a light bulbs.

France and Germany will be the new NATO for the EU:

Good point. It's like when the USA voted for Trump and their economy collapsed and all of the privately held companies trading with them decided to go out of business on principle because it's better than being indirectly associated with a clown and they all died in penury while wailing "Why, oh why didn't we realise that superficial appearance Trumps rational self interest."

Just like that.

Precisely.

Here is something for you to analyse guys about Brexit negotiations, how this news will affect them? Thinking

Northern Ireland Assembly election results today - Mike Nesbitt resigns as UUP leader.

30% drop for the leave Pro-Brexit party UUP in the Northern Ireland assembly elections today. Drop from 16 to 11 seats.

And if the SNP ever do achieve Scootch independence, they'll become irrelevant overnight.

What you're seeing isn't the Norn-Micklanders turning against #Brexit, it's them making the touchingly naive mistake of thinking that Sharia is poised to actually deliver it.

Right so every election post-Brexit is another mini-referendum? They have bigger issues going on.

It's not pulling the trigger that matters, it's hitting the target.

She's delayed as long as possible but is painting herself into a corner and will have to invoke Article 50 sooner or later.

The goal then will be to spin out the negotiations until 2020 so that she can run an election campaign on making an empty promise to actually conclude the divorce, or to kiss and make up, depending on the sentiment among the proles at that time.

With a fresh 5 year mandate, she can then kick it into the long grass and that's the last we'll hear of it.

How dare Parliament disobey her! Both houses!

Miller absolutely must get a Grauniad column, or her own YouTube channel or Channel 4 reality show. I cannot think of anyone I'd rather have championing the Remoan / Soft-non-Brexit cause.




... except Tony Blair. Drooling
