    Signed, sealed, delivered

    All approved by the EU, just needs May’s signature as leader of the U.K. now.

    UK’s withdrawal agreement from European Union approved by EU leaders, chief Donald Tusk says
    Interesting question. Does May actually need parliament to approve, or can she unilaterally sign? Hopefully the latter.

      Doesn’t answer the question.

      What if May signed the agreement without any “meaningful” vote. It might be tough politically, it are there any legal ramifications?

        A lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth on LBC, a betrayal of 2 world wars and one world cup.

        They need to move on, get over it, it's a done deal.

          If she is so convinced that she's delivering what the country asked for, why does she need to write a begging letter to the country to support her deal?


          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.

            Begging or merely asking.

            You will find a lot of truths you cling to in this universe depend on your point of view.

            Or something

              Neither begging nor asking.

              May is the PM, she’s telling you all what the agreement means. You don’t get a say in it.

              Sovereignty, innit.

                Reminds me of that film "Bedazzled" where the "hero" meets the devil, sells his soul, gets all his wishes granted in full and ends up in a nightmare.

                  I've not seen it. Does he then blame everyone else for his own stupidity?

                    He asks the Devil (Liz Hurley) to make him incredibly wealthy and wakes up as a Colombian drug baron.
