Mr. Dominic Cummings

[Hillman avenger]

And we did.
We voted for Article 50.
The issue since then has come directly from the interpretation of "leave".

And we did.
We voted for Article 50.
The issue since then has come directly from the interpretation of "leave".

48% voted to Remain, 52% voted Leave, after the Vote Leave campaign said negotiating a new and better deal with the EU was a forgone conclusion and that’s what they’d do. That’s not a mandate for no deal by any stretch on the imagination.

With such a close result you’d expect a compromise, not for Brexiter politicians to conveniently forget all they said during the referendum and claim leaving with no trade deal is the only acceptable Brexit. They’re taking the piss.

Which is what May's deal was, why did Labour refuse to support it ?

[Hillman avenger]

I have no idea.
Labour is a mess.
if it wasn't Johnson would be gone already.

It wasn’t a compromise at all. It was a hard Brexit. Nothing like the Brexit Labour described in their 2017 manifesto. When I say compromise I mean something like the Norway/Switzerland option.

Not that long ago Nigel Farage thought Norway & Switzerland were good examples of countries outside the EU.

Labour are really fucked up as a political entity and don’t know what they want, that’s why.

Staying in the EEA, the single market and the customs union is a hard brexit ?

That’s not what Theresa May’s deal would have involved. If that type of soft Brexit was on offer I’d advocate MPs voting for it. If we were planning on staying in the Customs Union & Single Market permanently there would be no issue over the Irish border.

May's deal isn't the final destination, it's a staging point to a future trading and status agreement. It would have got us out of the EU and taken so much of the poison out of the politics that's ongoing now. Nearly 90% of Tory MP's voted for her deal the third time it was put before Parliament. Labour, the Liberals and the SNP carried on playing politics. You sow what you reap.

According to reports, a drunken Mr. Dominic Cummings buttonholed the Leader of the Opposition in the corridors of Westminster, daring him to have an election

[Vespa]

Cummings has been a disaster. Boris has been shown up to be massively disingenuous. May had all the charms of the VP of Photocopying at the World's largest carpet factory but at least she was vaguely trustworthy.

Boris and Cummings thought they could kill off the Brexit party and ride to victory. If the Brexit Party folds now it'll be shown up as what it most sane people thought it was - another chance for Farage to make money. If he fights Boris in all seats I'll still think he's a race-baiting twat, but I'll have the respect that he followed through.

Even without Farage Boris will spend the entire election claiming his not for no-deal with people like ex Tories lining up to bash him.

Their other strategy of planting and harvesting the magic money tree is going to make John McDonald delighted.

Cumming has led Boris down the path of him being the 'no deal' candidate at the next election - which is a shite place to be if you want to win a majority whilst losing all your Scottish MPs.

[The Ghost of Alex Higgins]

Cummings buttholed cumeron in a westminster back passage and man-dated his erection, leading to a hung parliament and a very sticky wicket

[delboy1983]

I like the cut of Cumming's jib !!
