Tomorrow's going to be interesting in Parliament

Oh boy, the spending pledges are coming thick and fast. I guess they are easy to make, given the zero chance of Boris remaining in power to implement them...

Along with Unicorns, the Tories have managed to unearth the Magical Money Tree...

The only fault (and it's a big one to bet your Brexit argument on) is that you can always export the classic car and get your money worth, property in the UK, not so much.

possibly, but the EU and USA markets are LHD, so a RHD car is less appealing. There seems to be some interest in our old colonial markets, but the EU and the USA appear to be the most popular.

Thank God the UK did not join the EURO! Imagine the chaos now if we had.......

On the other hand EU would be much more prone to a pacific and fast solution to not depreciate the currency of most of its members.

yes, there's always a counter point of view.

Of course, that's because of the expert management of the economy by Philip Hammond... ah, um, strike that, isn't he one of the disappeared now?

Currently watching Parliament live. If you’d told me 3 weeks ago, or 3 days ago that this is riveting TV, I’d have laughed at you

It really is like a circus. Rebels on all sides, no clear majority backed plan of how to leave, how to stay, whether to hold a people's second referendum, whether to hold a General Election where parties will be split along the leave/remain options so even if one party gains a majority there will still be no clear consensus on the way forward.

This is what happens when you have a committee management made up of self-serving cronies that put their party or its backers before the good of the nation and the people that voted them into office.

So the only sensible solution is to repeal Article 50 so the UK remains on the exact same terms as currently, to avoid EU troughers wanting negotiated renewal of membership at UK cost, then wait for the EU to disintegrate over its own problems (PIIGS and global downturn meaning Germany and France can't support the rest), while using its veto to stop any silly empire building such as an EU army or move to a federalised Unites States of Europe.

Any other realistic option for the UK to come out on top of this mess intact?

That might be a solution... UK can try to behave like a spoiled child (even more than it has done in the pass), vetoing any EU decision without any real reason and hope to be expel from the EU.
