First Minister will back PM for Free movement of labour Brexit deal

[AttentivIS]

While the waters remain somewhat murky one thing is clear. Any deal that kills free movement of labour will guarantee Scottish independence in a new referendum. May wants free movement and Sturgeon will do a deal if it gets more powers for Scotland and an EEA/EU deal. So expect to see a lot of window dressing between the two of them about saving the union and independence referendums. An independence referendum will only occur if Dunkin donuts Davis succeeds in taking us completely out of Europe into splendid non WTO isolation. Just have to pray the UK gov doesnt fall apart.

May wants free movement - Any evidence of that anywhere?

[AttentivIS]

May is a remainer.

[GB9]

May is a remainer.

To coin a phrase of a well known contributor, 'are you sure you're cut out to join the conversation'?

May is a PM now, she'll do what other PMs did - whatever keeps them personally in power for as long as possible.

So that will be Brexit then.

[VectraMan]

Like David Cameron did?

[darmstadt]

May is a PM now, she'll do what other PMs did - see how much more she can **** up the country.

FTFY...

Utter tripe.

If there's one thing that is absolutely, unquestionably, guaranteed about the upcoming Brexit, it's that anything resembling unfettered ("free") movement will be politically untenable, because the vote was widely recognised as a trade-off between the economy and unfettered migration. May enjoys a slim, effective, majority (which is why I wouldn't be surprised to see an Autumn or Spring election), but this wouldn't pass the Tory backbenches under any circumstances. If you really believe that an unmodified EEA is on the table, you don't follow politics (or May) very closely. There's some chance of an EEA+ option with fettered migration (e.g. "free" movement of workers), but I don't think the EU would support that.
