Do you think they will get what they want?
It seems very much like Labour's non-support of the Tory's deal.

Another five decoys there on the front row.

Could this be the answer?

A political decoy is a person employed to impersonate a politician, to draw attention away from the real person or to take risks on that person's behalf. This can also apply to military figures, or civilians impersonated for political or espionage purposes.

Definitely looks like him.

How strange.

'Did anyone realise that IDS didn't campaign for leave?'
.....not me . I know he kept going on about 'yesterdays men' even though he's the biggest 'yesterday man' of them all.

I think IDS announced it on the radio trying to show he isn't necessarily a totally convinced Brexiter.

I think there will be more of those

How many does that make who are now so determined to leave the EU but we're not convinced Leavers previously?

Barnier has now given a speech detailing how it will be impossible to get a deal anything like as good as being a member.

Did anyone realise that IDS didn't campaign for leave?

EU and Japan reach free trade deal:

Hmmm! I wonder where Nissan will manufacture the cars which end up being sold to EU customers.

New Statement has published an article today

The Brexiters think that they are losing the argument, particularly since the election. People are clearly not prepared to be made poorer, and the downward progression of the economy is suggesting that is exactly what is likely to happen.

Fox and Leadsom are already trying to find someone to blame and have decided to scapegoat the media.

Leaving is still more like to happen than not.

Presumably the message of economic disaster has not entirely reached all the parts yet.

Express article

Cameron is trying to rally support for a watered down Brexit and to oppose May.

Independent report

William Hague talking in HoL said that the UKs foreign affairs influence will undoubtedly be damaged after Brexit.

Barnier has rejected any attempt by the UK to suggest that "frictionless" trade is possible after Brexit.

There is no possibility for the UK to leave and then continue with the same benefits.

That blows both the Labour and Tory position out of the water.

Corbyn has meeting set up with Barnier to discuss single market and customs union.

No doubt without any silly grandstanding.

The first people we spoke to before the referendum were people from the Conservative party who had a 'remain' stall in a nearby town. One of them used to work with my partner and he told us about the effect brexit would have on the Medicines Agency, including loss of jobs etc. Yet another part of project fear that is now coming to fruition .And, loss of jobs is just a small part of it.

20 EU countries after the European Medicines Agency - what lunacy decided we should give it up?

But that was up until the EU decided to do country by country reporting for tax purposes.
It will be interesting to see if they change their minds now that the EU is doing that.

Most big businesses do want to stay in the EU, which is precisely why they're planning to move, so they can stay in.

Deutsche Bank moving all its banking from London to Frankfurt.

Tory government has been protecting big businesses more than anyone else.
It's no accident that most tax havens are British.

One thing I do know for sure is: poor old juncker must be getting it in the neck after spending all these years protecting them.

so we have one poster saying another reason why big business wants out of the eu
And another saying Big business does want to stay in the eu
Very confused of Southend here

Sorry, daphne, are they not big businesses as well?
If country by country reporting comes in, they will not want to stay in the EU because they will have to pay taxes in the country in which they do their work.
