In other news looks like next PM might be narrowing between Javid and Gove. | ||

I wonder what's going to happen now. Some are insisting that he'll be forgotten soon but I think its all going to kick off before long. The knives are out, apparently. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-44761056 Brexit Secretary David Davis has resigned from the UK government. His resignation comes days after Theresa May secured the cabinet's backing for her Brexit plan despite claims from Brexiteers that it was too "soft". Mr Davis was appointed Brexit secretary in 2016 and was responsible for negotiating the UK withdrawal from the EU. A Brexiteer hailed his resignation as a "principled and brave decision". Conservative MP Peter Bone said Mr Davis had "done the right thing", adding: "The PM's proposals for a Brexit in name only are not acceptable." Labour Party chairman Ian Lavery said: "This is absolute chaos and Theresa May has no authority left." | ||

Which isnt that strange, when negotiating with stronger partner You are kinda expected to make some concession. While the other camp is either not realistic with their expectations (overvaluing UK negotiating position) or they want to achive "Hard Brexit" by asking for things which they know Eu wont give them and then pin the failure on May/EU. That's not quite fair EU would probably accept brexiteer terms of a Canada style deal but it's the compromises half in half out that they reject, and that's exactly what TM is proposing, sounds coming from EU are already negative. | ||

I know that is the wet dream of some brexiters but Canadas an UKs situation are very different. Their respective negotating situation are not similiar at all. Not to mention CETA do not cover financial services which UK cares great deal about. Brexiteer position is for Canada and if eu don't accept then no deal WTO terms. Dominic Raab is new brexit secretary so looks like no one else is going to walk. Big promotion for Raab and he is a Gove/Davis ally | ||

Raab was in "leave" camp so what does it mean? May is softening up or Raab changing his postion a bit?? | ||

I guess some people genuinely belive no deal is better then deal with concessions from UK. Raab was in "leave" camp so what does it mean? May is softening up or Raab changing his postion a bit?? Honestly I think it just means that the infighting is going to carry on indefinitely. | ||

Why on earth would you appoint someone to secure the deal you just agreed on that doesn't agree with the terms of said deal. That would have been a condition of him taking the job. Looks to me now that Gove is running the brexit show in government he has one of his disciples as brexit secretary and Gove is now the only serious senior brexiteer in government but seems like the back benches think he is a sell out. | ||

The worst part about that joke is that it was exactly what I would expect the Democrats to do in the US. | ||

And then Labor will go through with Brexit anyways and be blamed for the fallout until the heat death of the sun. The worst part about that joke is that it was exactly what I would expect the Democrats to do in the US. Can't really see an election anytime soon, worst case scenario we have a 3 month conservative leadership election with TM care taking. | ||

 Brexit is clearly not Brexit and now all the high ups in the Conservative party are rebelling so hard it is going to force another election at this rate.....maybe then Boris can pick up the mantle and give it a better go. | ||
