    "Downing Street said it would not change the PM's approach to talks with the EU"

    If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got...

    Think the EU are utterly bewildered by us, the sheer level of clusterduck is beyond description. It's all very well each breakaway saying that their way is best but no-one ever takes the time to explain precisely the reasons for that statement. What assumptions have they made, where's the data, how do they know what the outcome will be? It's all just a complete load of BS.
    I can easily see the government shoving their deal through at the last minute (I expect there's a way!) and bugger what parliament or the people say.

          Even I am dumbstruck by the arrogance of some of them. Many Tory MPs voted it down or abstained because "ERG members believed voting for it would also see them endorsing calls to rule out a no-deal Brexit."
          Unbelievable!

            @wiseowl @shiney and I are operating on a basis similar to a coalition, except ours is more of a co-operative.

                I mentioned in a post some while back that I think Theresa May has something last minute up her sleeve to push the deal through. Yes, she's pushing her luck with this, particularly time wise, but I still think it's a strong possibility.

                  @Sheal , I know what you mean. She has got a plan ( hopefully)
                  I fear the EU are getting fed up with us now though, who would blame them!

                    I think we're just as fed up with them @Loki. I believe if it was any other member country that was working towards leaving and not ours, then they wouldn't have made it so difficult for them.

                      Maybe @Sheal
                      However we are the first country to break the alliance.
                      We are a major force but that in itself causes problems.

                      The EU where never going to make it easy to leave.
                      Why should they?
                      We will be made an example of!

                        Playing politics is the only thing they can do and most of them are pretty useless at that too.

                          My thoughts are the only thing up her sleeve is her arm.
                          She's pushing it to the wire in the hope that either parliament break or the EU do.
                          They would only make it difficult for countries who are .net contributors, the lame ducks I'm not so sure.
                          .But then most have allowed themselves to be trapped by joining the Euro, so leaving for them would be almost impossible.
