"In a blow to Prime Minister Theresa May, MPs voted to give Parliament a legal guarantee of a vote on the final Brexit deal struck with Brussels"

I was a REMAIN supporter, but I thought that one of the reasons that people voted for BREXIT, was to bring back control of our affairs to Parliament ?

Talbot, I'm not against leaving the EU. But I am very much against leaving not just the EU but the entire European Customs Union and European Economic Area as well, I consider it will be a disaster for the UK economy.
I do not believe that, that was what was intended by 'LEAVE' in the referendum .
The question of what happens in the event of Parliament voting down a deal is rather an important one.
It will affect how MPs vote. If the choice is "deal" or leave anyway with no deal", assuming we ever get to that point -- and it is hard to see how rebel Tories who wouldn't stand for not having a proper vote at all would stand for that -- then I cannot see MPs going for the latter option - plainly that is why those were the options the Brexiteers wanted to present to Parliament. It seems unlikely that we could have "deal" or "remain" without another referendum. Equally, "deal" or "back to the negotiating table" seems unlikely.
"Deal" or "faff around endlessly" is surely something the country cannot afford
What qualifies you to say 'it will be a disaster' EDDIE?

Can someone please explain why giving Parliament a legal guarantee of a vote on the final BREXIT deal is such a bad thing ?
Can you explain Corbyn and Corbyn's followers position on Brexit, mikey?

As far as I'm concerned we as a nation/kingdom voted to leave the EU, and that is what must happen ... with or without a deal.
Meanwhile waiting in the wings for the moment, just like a previous saviour of Great Britain that saved us from European tyranny and a complacent political "class", is darling Nigel.

Talbot it is my opinion, I claim no 'qualification' to hold such an opinion.
50% of the UK's entire imports and exports are to and from the EU .
Renegotiating that is going to be a major stumbling block. It will not take 'just a couple of months' as some on here have said.
Others say the answer is to 'widen trading areas' OK I can see the logic in that .
But do you think it can be achieved in just a year or so? It will take decades. Other countries already have their trading / export /import deals in place.
Are they going to just roll over and say '' Ok UK now you have left the EU, so we are going to hand over all our hard won export / import / trade deals to you?'' If you believe that you really are living in cloud cuckoo land.
Jesus ... Lol @ you telling me I live in cuckoo land ... superb!

Ohhh let me help you with that Togo, you mean this eejit



You must think there are a lot of eejits in Europe, Kvalidir.


One day Talbot if you try very, very hard, you might post something that makes a modicom of sense, meanwhile here have a star for the effort *
Kvilidir Those are not the only UKIP policies Farage would rather we did not remember.

Even more include changing the NHS to the USA system , banning maternity pay , turning the London Underground Circle line into a 'True Circle' and forcing all rail companies to paint trains Red White and Blue to honour our flag.
turning the Circle Line back into a circle would be an excellent idea; I always suspected it was changed at Westfield's behest to bring them shoppers. However, as one-issue politics go, that's still a pretty niche one issue.

Well let's start from the beginning ... you, the nice 'lefty' (I think you would associate yourself with the left?) are being insulting ... yes?

Why?

If you don't understand a post, why not ask what it means?
Hardly 'stop press', it's been trailed all day.
Just the latest step in the Project Let's Get Back To Normal. Nobody seriously believes that the grinning nonentity has been assigned a brief that must succeed, surely.
We're not leaving and you'll still be able to get tons of fags back from the Costas.
See Mikey, even our cousins north of the Border understand how English politics works.
// Grieve’s amendment had the effect of limiting ministers’ power to make sweeping changes to the law before parliament has approved the Brexit deal. //

A shocking attack on democracy and the sovereignty of Parliament has been stymied, well done. We did not vote to reign back power from the EU only to have it snatched by a cabal of Consersative Cabinet Ministers.
Excuse me – I’d just like to interrupt proceedings to respond to PeterPedant’s post at 21.04. He appears to have his knickers in a knot – again.

//democracy and the democrats won in Alabamy but THAT doesnt count either//

I think it does. Don’t you?

Carry on.
