Cliff Edge anyone?

"Britain's Brexit negotiating position is unclear after a general election which dealt a heavy blow to Theresa May's authority and in which the Tories lost their parliamentary majority, the president of the European Parliament said.

Antonio Tajani suggested the result had empowered supporters of a "softer" Brexit in the Government, such as Chancellor Philip Hammond, and has left the UK with a more "flexible" approach to its divorce with the European Union.

He raised the possibility of Britain staying in the European single market after the two-year Article 50 exit talks, which will end on March 29 2019 or before.

Mr Tajani said an agreement similar to those enjoyed by Switzerland or Norway was "possible to do", adding: "It's possible to decide on this after a negotiation." "

Tajani appears to agree with the Maltese president.

Dyson gets over a million pa doesn't he?

My iPad keeps wanting to post dysentery instead of dyson

Farmers are beginning to realise that they have shot themselves in the foot over Brexit.
Do you know who gets the most in subsidy from the EU, and who stands to lose the most?
Dyson, who voted for Brexit, and is now telling Gove he should carry on giving subsidies to farmers.
Farmers only produce 0.9% of GDP.

Re Hugo Rifkind's remarks I wonder if anyone else is noticing that we are getting fewer of the 'suck it up' remarks from those who voted to wreck our society and our economy.

Talk this-morning on Today of farmers beginning to realise what they have done.

Whitewave
The Maltese Presidency ended at the end of June, and I think Juncker would be a bit miffed if people thought he wasn't the 'leader'

Nothing good to say about leaving on the other thread, either.
You'd think if Brexit was that good an idea, instead of Rifkind's shit, that thread would be full up by now.

Times reports

Fox's department has thrown £1million pounds during the past year,in an effort to recruit a team of expert negotiators. It is noticeable by a complete failure to date to recruit all but one.

Obviously the former disgraced minister, is not attractive enough to work for.

No surprises there.

No the current leader is the Maltese PM.

I'm sure our Leaver friends will soon find something derogatory to say about him. When theres no rational argument go for the ad hominems

There is a cross push to stay in the EEA, hope this has some traction.

No the current leader is the Maltese PM.

Love this from Hugo Rifkind.

"I am fed up being told by people who shat in the bed to stop moaning and show some enthusiasm about living in shit"

Did juncker make that statement before or after wine o' clock.

The Times has a report that May has been warned that cabinet warfare is having a serious and detrimental affect in progressing Brexit.

Brexiters are not engaging with the difficulties and complicated issues -probably not competent enough to do so -

There are reports that when a difficulty is brought up they "guffaw"!!!

They deride Hammond and insist that it is all dead easy. What fools.

Well he would say that wouldn't he?
The tide is still the same.......wishful thinking to hope otherwise.

The current leader of the EU doesn't think Brexit is going to happen as he says the tide has and is turning.

I read yesterday that estate agents are in trouble. Now one of the biggest is being taken over by a French bank.

This is good news for those who want a soft Brexit - or no Brexit at all.

I just hope Labour realise and take note.

They did one about energy bills a week ago. I bet the results will be completely different today after the British Gas bombshell.

Mostlyharmless, that was only leave voters, not all the population. It actually works out to be a very small percentage of the population that think like that.
Only 35% of the voting population voted leave. As the numbers asked are age weighted, it will only be about 7% of the voting population altogether.

The one that's in the Lambton Worm, whitewave. Not Gove; that's the person I dislike intensely.

I find this hard to believe. People would really be happy to see their families losing jobs just so Brexit could be achieved?
Some of the article doesn't make sense anyway.
Did they ask the questions in an open way? I find some Yougov questions in their surveys are difficult to answer fairly because of the way they are worded.

This is QI

Which one? Or can't you say?

Not going to buy an iPad. I dislike that word intensely.
