Quite brutal in Salzburg. May had a real bitch slapping today and Chequers has been thrown out of the window. She actually expected the other leaders to warmly approve it, and they savaged her plan. We're fucked now.

Macron's called the Brexit team liars. It's starting to unravel now.

What a mess. Theresa May couldn’t negotiate her way out of a wet paper bag. Brexit’s going to be very different to the unicorn & rainbow filled utopia promised by the Leave Campaign.

Britain's plans for Brexit really need to be revised and approved in October otherwise it really is a 'no deal.' How long have we had to prepare for Brexit, again? Since June 2016?

Looks like leavers might get their wish

No deal here we come

Expect a lot of the vocal leavers to disappear into the woodwork and rewrite their own history, once they realise the absolute catastrophe they’ve caused on this country.

I say once they realise, but deep down they must know they’ve been sold a dud

Why so slow?
First the mistaken assumption that "they needed us more than we need them"
An election resulting in the DUP getting ludicrous power.
The resistance to examining the facts typified by the "Project Fear" claim used like a crucifix for a vampire,
The failure of anyone in Leave to think through the Irish border question in the time of the vote and since.
May's personal balancing act...she KNOWS the whole Leave thing is very bad for us, but she is lumbered with delivering it..and history will put the blame for the mess against her term in office.
I am beginning to think the "deal" might be to extend departure by another 6 months.

That's the disgrace Lawnsy, totally inept leadership; just going back a few comments, you and others mentioned a no deal Brexit is virtually impossible due to rules and regulation changed required, do you and others feel that this could be the end of the UK in the G5 or 6? Or even worse?

We haven’t been preparing for ‘no deal’. Up until recently Brexiter politicians were dismissing the idea of a no deal Brexit as scaremongering, project fear......

No wonder Boris Johnson, David Davis et al decided to run away when they did.

Theresa May needs to grow a spine, start putting the county first & tell the wide-eyed Brexiter zealots in her own party to sod off.

For me the timeline for leaving should have been

1) Leave
2) get independent audited books since 1991 to establish who owes what in terms of severance payments, meanwhile, whilst the verdict of that is pending, the UK and Europe forfil their obligations to each other.
3) Get verdict on Severence payments.
4) Pay up what is owed by either side.
5) Leave!, if trade deals can be struck and various bits and pieces going forward then great, if Not, it is what it is.

Just doing things totally back to front to my mind.

Should draw a line under this one, start from fresh, and work to the future, we are trying to do stuff, when other stuff hasn't got sorted out.

Never ever gonna work.

This process could've took 5 years which would have given both sides plenty of time (since 2016) to work in contingency plans moving forward.

Also, if there was clarity on how you leave the Union either voluntarily or expulsion, everybody would know what is required, I think it is no coincidence these parameters are not in place.

Obviously the audit would only concern our contributions to the EU and the Unions contributions to us.
