If Corbyn wins the leadership contest, expect May to announce a GE in the Autumn, despite what she's been saying.

And 5 year fixed Parliaments go out of the window?

We're going to hear a lot of this low level noise over the coming months. There are as many vested interests as people paying attention. Compare and contrast with reports yesterday that Merkel had taken Hamface aside at the recent EC meeting and told him that he shouldn't feel bad, as concessions on free movement were never on the table. Anyway, imagine May trying to push a 7-year suspension of reality past her backbenchers, the MSM, and much of the country after what we've just experienced

Perhaps the EU will ultimately consider an EEA+, but it would need to be permanent and IMHO the freedoms vs. unfettered single market access are a rock and hard place on a permanent footing. I think Johnson is wrong about a compromise on that.

However, whatever the shape of a deal might be, May is going to struggle with the current alignment of Parliament. If Corbyn wins the leadership contest, expect May to announce a GE in the Autumn, despite what she's been saying.

So UK will still be paying £350 mln per week, and be in EU for all intents and purposes other them total free movement from there to UK (and presumably less of same from UK to EU too), and THAT will be called Brexit???

I say that until we can buy non-EU compliant bananas it's not Brexit.

Camoron could have negotiated for that in the beginning but he was too arrogant.

indeed. I don't think we should take it, better offers will come.

If our government had wanted to they could have delayed the accession countries for 7 years within the EU.

They didn't they wanted cheap labour to hold wages down.

looks like they are starting to realise Brexit will hurt them.

Er no, it hasn't. Unnamed sources... an advisor suggested... high ranking UK officials... Absolutely nothing of substance in the whole article. Maybe I should make something up, print it on some official EU notepaper and send it out because that's all this article is, hot air. Sorry...

And its started

Plans to allow the United Kingdom an exemption from EU rules on freedom of movement for up to seven years while retaining access to the single market are being considered in European capitals as part of a potential deal on Brexit.

Senior British and EU sources have confirmed that despite strong initial resistance from French president François Hollande in talks with prime minister Theresa May last week, the idea of an emergency brake on the free movement of people that would go far further than the one David Cameron negotiated before the Brexit referendum is being examined.

If such an agreement were struck, and a strict time limit imposed, diplomats believe it could go a long way towards addressing concerns of the British people over immigration from EU states, while allowing the UK full trade access to the European market.

apparently he is just a nutter named after a sky fairies marketing man.

The man has since appeared in court with Grenoble’s deputy prosecutor Oliver Nagabbo telling the court that: “The husband, and father, of the victims, confirms he crossed the suspect while he was leaving the premises after the attack. The suspect allegedly then told him: ‘You shouldn’t have done that in front of my wife’, then scratched the inside of his thigh over his shorts.”

But the prosecutor added: “The husband doesn’t remember doing such a gesture.”

He said it was “hard to comprehend that such a gesture could have sparked such a serious attack from a person in full mental health or devoid of any ideological intent”.

The 37-year-old alleged attacker has now been remanded in custody.

very sad.
