    So, May wants Parliament to have a hand in the discussions over the next few days in regards to the 'Plan B' announcement next week. A third world banana republic is more organised:

    - May offers talks
    - Corbyn says only if 'no deal' is taken off of the table
    - Hammond rings up 330 business people to promise that the 'no deal' threat will be removed
    - May says there is no way that 'no deal' can be removed from the options

    What a farse...
    There’s only two ways that No Deal can be taken off the table:
    - Accept the deal on offer
    - Revoke A50.

    Given the deal has been rejected, that can technically only mean one thing...

    Compare and contrast the way that both sides have gone about it. The EU has involved Member States in the tricky parts of the discussions, getting diplomatic agreement on the concessions that the EU made so that everyone was aligned before the final deal was prepared. The U.K. though has worked in a vacuum, with May and the Tories doing whatever they wanted without getting agreement within their own party let alone Parliament.

      But, but, but we are now holding cross party talks, albeit without the Labour party who refuse to come to the table until no deal is taken off the table. The Labour Party- the only political party actively seeking and supporting a no deal Brexit.

        Yep, they've got five options:
        Convince MPs to accept current deal (not going to happen)
        New leave deal
        Hard Brexit
        Postpone Brexit
        No Exit

        Rather than rationally explain to everyone why hard Brexit is not an option for him and his party, Corbyn has done the career politician thing and ducked the issue, kicking it along the road like 70s Labour used to with big issues.
        The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist

          New leave dealunlikely as DUP and others want backstop removed and Ireland will Veto that within the EU
          Hard BrexitThe option currently supported by the Labour Party, and ERG
          Postpone BrexitEU won't do this unless the UK has a credible deal to put forward to the EU containing an Irish Backstop
          No ExitNot going to happen

              Old Greg - In search of acceptance since Mar 2007. Hoping each leap will be his last.

                  If that turns out to be the case A50 gets cancelled by 25th March.
                  My bitcoin predictions have been amazing. I recommend Bitcoin March 2017 when it was around $500. Clearly you don't know a win when you see one.

                      You've got to be kidding right? Does explain a lot if you really believe that though.
