The Official "There will be no Brexit" Thread

Just skipped the last few pages of self serving twaddle to add that the law is this:
Step 1: The current PM asks the Foreign Office to initiate Article 50. The Lisbon treaty is a Foreign office polivy document and it has to come from there and only the PM can ask for it. There is no act required.
Step 2. The 2 year MAXIMUM deadline includes negotiations that lead to a clean cut from the EU (the Union not the trade), this involves negotiating extra powers for the devolved Governments (Scotland, NI, Wales) so that they can enact their versions of CAP etc.
It should be noted that these so called trade treaties have little or no influence on small businesses. I'd personally like to see (corporate) taxation at the point of sale being a major point of these discussions.Comment
