"Theresa May] tried to limit the damage in tomorrow’s vote by seeking last-minute concessions from several EU leaders in telephone calls over the weekend. She hoped changes to the Irish backstop could be announced just before tomorrow’s vote. But the EU offered only “clarifications” - not “sweeteners” - and rejected May’s desperate pleas to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement.
Indeed, in Brussels this morning, the sense was that May’s last minute phone diplomacy was lacking in detailed “asks”. She also refused to share what her strategy was going to be regarding management of the Commons - both before and after the vote.
May will likely respond to the overwhelming message from Tory MPs by seeking emergency talks in Brussels with European commission and council leaders before the two-day regular summit of EU leaders on Thursday and Friday. But we remain of the view that any substantive reopening of the withdrawal agreement is unlikely. EU leaders will not be pleased with new demands from May, especially as she only signed off on the deal a few weeks ago"
Where’s our man on the ground in all this chaos? Don’t say in Ganleys ffs.
The UK have been utterly humiliated today and whatever outcome ensues Maye is toast.
Hopefully right-minded people in the 06 will have seen through those narcissistic cunts in the DUP.
Long live optimism. Mrs. Maye hasn’t a leg under her (pun intended)
You’re a lucky man that both Barnier and Tusk are basically alright sorts and aren’t sticking the knife in. You’re a face in the City - What’s the 411 from the hedge fund sector…
Come on mate. IF @Tassotti has explained this once, he’s said it a thousand times. The micks have a special relationship pre-dating the EU that allows for residency and working in the UK.
Of course they do. If brains were dynamite your average Clive/Mortimer/Edgar hasn’t enough to blow his own nose. Our colleague is running a very successful hedge-cutting business from leafy Croyden.
