No deal seems increasingly likely. What happens after that is anyone's guess. If I were an expat, I'd be stockpiling comfort blankets.
    Negotiating positions are always "extreme" so they'll probably meet somewhere in the middle.

    I'm alright Jack

      I always though that an expat is someone who sees their migration as temporary. Those of us who are emigrants with EU citizenship lined up will be fine. Not so much fun for those of you stuck in the UK. 48% of you have my sympathy.

        They will all be as happy as a Harley Davidson Trump voter.

          It's going to be fascinating to watch.

          Will Corbyn vote for a deal to keep Theresa in power or vote against a deal for a new election? Decisions, decisions.

              What could we use as an index of post-Brexit devastation, a heartfelt expression of loss and distress?

              Number of threads started in a Brexit forum?

                Probably the size of Corbyn's majority at the next election.

                  Apart from the fact that she can't negotiate with the other 27 heads of state, they've delegated it to Barnier. Even Kunz, who May thought would be sympathetic to her as he's also a right winger, has pointed that out
                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    Meeting in the middle requires hard work, and Davis and the other Brexiters in the government aren’t too keen on that.

                    Despite the noise, either “no deal” or “BrINO” would suit the Brexiters. Either way they can still play the victim and blame everything on the EU.

                    May should call their bluff and state “no deal”, and watch Parliament tear itself apart....
