Merkel has sold her shares in BMW and Mercedes because she knows one the Emerald Island Of Great Britain sales away they will have only the shrinking middle classes in China to buy their cars.

    Lets hope that for all our futures we can leave the EU.
    I see someone's been drinking, but it's not Junker!

    They've never denied that no-deal won't be bad for them. They've never denied they'd rather us stay. If we are to leave, they'd rather have a deal. BUT, and this is where you guys just don't get it, they will not break their own laws to give us that deal. They know no-deal will be worse for us than them, so if that's what we choose they will let us walk away.

    If they were that bothered by no-deal, do you not think they would have changed the backstop by now?

    You guys really are dim

    I see that you have fully embraced the Brexit land of Unicorns and fluffy pink tutus

Just shows how idiotic brexiters are; they still think we hold all the cards Only a matter of time until the UK government capitulate

    Threatens no deal

    I find it somewhat amusing as caller after caller rings into LBC to suggest if the PM were to threaten no deal that the EU would cave.

    Really? Perhaps you want to read the Vote Leave campaign literature again, they expressly wanted to negotiate the terms of a new deal before leaving.

    Taking back control is a careful change, not a sudden stop - we will negotiate the terms of a new deal before we start any legal process to leave
    This is, of course, for a trading deal, whereas “No Deal” refers to the Withdrawal Agreement. In 2016 we all underestimated the stupidity of Brexiters wanting to leave without even a negotiated exit arrangement.

Yet the majority of other people would have been happy to Leave and THEN start negotiations for what came afterwards, safe in the knowledge that at that stage it would have been in both sides interests to be pragmatic and realistic.

    Oh dear...

    MPs plan more indicative votes on Thursday

    If the MPs who supported the second ref. and those supporting the customs union combine on a motion that wouldn't be good.

    In fact that would be very very bad.

    Good news TCP. I'm glad others share my optimism that we can still leave.
