    You've got to be kidding right? Does explain a lot if you really believe that though.

    If that turns out to be the case A50 gets cancelled by 25th March.

    Union with Narnia

    Rather than rationally explain to everyone why hard Brexit is not an option for him and his party, Corbyn has done the career politician thing and ducked the issue, kicking it along the road like 70s Labour used to with big issues.

    New leave dealunlikely as DUP and others want backstop removed and Ireland will Veto that within the EU
    Hard BrexitThe option currently supported by the Labour Party, and ERG
    Postpone BrexitEU won't do this unless the UK has a credible deal to put forward to the EU containing an Irish Backstop
    No ExitNot going to happen

    There’s only two ways that No Deal can be taken off the table:
    - Accept the deal on offer
    - Revoke A50.

    Given the deal has been rejected, that can technically only mean one thing...

    Compare and contrast the way that both sides have gone about it. The EU has involved Member States in the tricky parts of the discussions, getting diplomatic agreement on the concessions that the EU made so that everyone was aligned before the final deal was prepared. The U.K. though has worked in a vacuum, with May and the Tories doing whatever they wanted without getting agreement within their own party let alone Parliament.

    But, but, but we are now holding cross party talks, albeit without the Labour party who refuse to come to the table until no deal is taken off the table. The Labour Party- the only political party actively seeking and supporting a no deal Brexit.

    - Hammond rings up 330 business people to promise that the 'no deal' threat will be removed
    - May says there is no way that 'no deal' can be removed from the options

    What a farse...

    I'd be curious to see what "less accurate" might look like here.

    Like the discovery of something colder than absolute zero.

    PS: It's becoming more and more obvious the UK is going to crash out. Pity any poor bugger trapped over there.

    Try to explain in what possible way your context involved anything even remotely connected to the Christian Church or its clergy?
