Brexit deal 'better than staying in EU' says Philip Hammond

[shaunbhoy]

Whereabouts on the radio this morning did I hear virtually that same quote (and it wasn't a Brexit reference)?

Shhhhhh......got to protect my sources.


Danny Baker on Radio 5?

You can't always get what you want sometimes you have to compromise.

If May fails and the UK is heading for a no deal, it would be the only alternative with a majority in parliament. Labour, the SNP and 50 Tory MP's would see it passed. Whether May would be the prime minister is another matter.

Is there anything in May’s history that suggests that she will back down or compromise on FoM? Her track record at the Home Office suggests not. Sorry, but May is throwing UK citizens that now or in the future want to live and work in the EU under the bus to get what she wants.

Which only leaves whether or not she will be PM.

There is no time left for a general election, and no viable candidate to replace her. Without a GE there is no mandate for EEA, and even with a GE this would require that EEA be put forward as an option in a manifesto. It’s possible, but wishful thinking.

This agreement is the only one that fulfils the red lines. May’s red lines, that Brexiters supported in full when they were drawn.

[BlasterBates]

That’s not going to happen.

May has set out the red lines for the U.K., agreed and cheered on by the Brexiters. She’s not going to all of a sudden reverse her stance and say that FoM and ECJ are now no longer red lines.

This agreement is the natural conclusion of those red lines.

I think it's more like to be membership of the EEA, which is basically what Labour are pushing for, to "respect" the vote of the referendum.

He's saying that because he knows it makes no difference. He can look loyal whilst being 100% confident not a single person will take any notice.

We all know that the next stage is Referendum II - Return of the EU

Chancellor Philip Hammond has insisted that the Prime Minister's Brexit deal is better than remaining in the EU.

Well he WOULD say that wouldn't he? Another Bremoaner with a tenuous grip on reality.

Honestly, you really do need to listen to those of us that can see the bigger picture. Throughout this debacle I have been a Lord Byron at a time when most Bremainiacs on here have been lionising Pam Ayres!

So glad you agree. The Withdrawal Agreement is something we can all rally around, and will be the one thing that unites the U.K. in the glorious future.

[Old Greg]

If you say so..



However after Brexit, Byron would probably be a bit ****ed due to freedom of movement stopping him from spending most of his life on the continent and then fighting for the Greeks...

Byron was more making tea for the Greeks them actually fighting.

Who'd have thunk it? PosterBhoi comes out as a gay Europhile
I knew he came across as too stupid to be credible - good false flag operation, SB

Yeah....whatever.....Pam!!

If you say so..

Byron was both celebrated and castigated in his life for his aristocratic excesses, which included huge debts, numerous love affairs with both men and women, as well as rumours of a scandalous liaison with his half-sister

[sasguru]

Throughout this debacle I have been a deluded congenital idiot just like all the other Brexiters who believed in the crap they were fed by the demagogues.

Now, like most Brexiters, I'm looking to blame someone else for my stupidity just like you intelligent Remainers predicted would happen.

FTFY

Chancellor Philip Hammond has insisted that the Prime Minister's Brexit deal is better than remaining in the EU.
He said the deal respected the result of the 2016 referendum and offered "the best compromise possible".

Some Brexiteers, including ex-Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab, have said the deal is worse than staying in the EU.
Theresa May is hoping the leaders of the remaining 27 EU countries agree to her deal on Sunday, but Spain has raised objections over Gibraltar.

Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has demanded written assurances that Spain will be directly consulted on any future decisions over the territory - or says he may refuse to attend Sunday's summit.
