You think Corbyn is the BIG CHEESE, I had worked that one out. If he ever becomes PM it would be interesting to see how he copes.

I don't. I'm just not as prejudiced as you.

When one thought the Brexit nonsense couldn't get any crazier, it just has, with May preparing to lick Corbyn's bottom! :o
You mean negotiate with the opposition in a bid to sort out what's best for the country rather than trying to save her party above the country as she has done since she became leader, surely?
And it's actually even now set up as a trap so that Labour gets some of the blame for her partisan incompetence - not that they need many lessons on that.

jeremy,

Because the remainers are far too lovely for all that unpleasantness. The Peoples' Vote march was all mumsy, middle England, swapping apple pie recipes, just terribly nice. The angriest they'd ever get would be tutting if someone parked over the dividing line in the Waitrose carpark. A week later the the Brexiters were all Doc Martens, marching pipe bands, buzz cuts, women dressed as Boadicea, stale beer and temper tantrums. Different demographics.   
       



'Marching pipe bands'?
Haud the bus.......
The only bands I heard were  two branches of the flute tootling Orange walk from the Orange belt of Scotland doing their caveman shuffle for the benefit of Londoners.
Now you see what WE have to put up with........

Does Brexit mean leaving all of the EU's institutions, as Rees-Mogg says?
And what is the correct way to say it? Bregzit, Breksit or Brrexit (as per bbc news readers)?

It is more likely May is going to be thrown to the wolves for trying to negotiate with Corbyn.

Some suggestions that May will use talks with Labour to wind the clock down.  Sir, what an infamous suggestion!

Heaven forfend! Assuming it gets through the HoL though, won't she now be forced to seek an extension rather than allow the UK to crash out?

My daughter told me this Brexit joke just now.

The year is 2338, the House of Commons is having its weekly vote on May's Brexit agreement, but no one knows how this tradition started. ;D

Applause for Spud.

It's good that we can rethink and be prepared to change our minds.

I think what finally did it was the Government saying they will allow Europeans with a job offering a minimum salary of £50,000 pa (or whatever it was) to come to work here. So mean.

istm the longer the delays the more likely there will be an election or second referendum which could result in revocation of A50.

The negotiations between May and Labour don't seem to be going anywhere. It will soon be clear to all that we are being led by donkeys.

A second referendum is what I am hoping for. With luck people might vote to stay in the EU, if that were to be the case. Britain is a tiny little country, no longer a big cheese in this world, and needs the support of the rest of Europe, imo.

EU elections to be held first -if we elect mostly eurosceptics sort of indicates that result would be to leave in another referendum - ie. with deal or no-deal.
