The cliff edges nearer because May doesn’t want to split party!

That is correct GG13. Not only would all 27 other member states need to approve the extension, but there would have to be a proper justification for it, such as a People's Vote, not just kicking the can down the road a bit longer.

On the other hand the UK could unilaterally Revoke Article 50 and we would remain in the EU on the present advantageous terms - not in the Euro, nor in Schengen and receiving a rebate.

The UK cannot unilaterally extend Article 50, it has to be agreed by all Member States.

Not trying it again varian! It was something linked to a FB page when I got out of it. Strange as I’ve never belonged to FB. Maybe it’s lonked somehow via GN who knows?

That hasn't happened when I've clicked it. Try again.

I clicked on your link varian and was sorry I had. Immediately a box popped up from ‘Canary Press’ thanking me for my ‘continued support’ .. .??
Then straight away another box popped up saying I had been chosen to have a ‘lucky spin’ and I didn’t want to press ‘ok’ and activate the roulette wheel. In a lighter tone of ink I did locate a ‘X’ so clicked on that hoping to runaway but when I did the bluddy roulette wheel starting spinning and guess what? I’ve won £200 to spend in Aldi.

God whatta mess. I’ve come on here via a different screen just to warn you all not to open that link! I’m going to peep now at the other screen and try to get rid of it ?

Prime minister Theresa May has conceded that MPs will have a vote to extend Article 50 and delay Brexit. They will also have a vote to rule out a No Deal scenario.

Despite this Commons pantomime, it’s notable that these concessions come only days after a largely unreported appeal court hearing. During this, May’s legal counsel admitted “the PM is aware” that the Leave campaigns acted unlawfully.

But whoever we are, at the end of the day, she is only one vote.
And so are each of us.

No paper is interested in the Libs

Only the same as the Graun attacking Conservatives!
Just saying.

The Torygraph attacking the Labour Party! Surely not!!!

And over in the Telegraph today varian there are articles about the Labour split!

Tories in meltdown': what the papers say about party split

www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/feb/21/tories-in-meltdown-what-the-papers-say-about-party-split

Writing to the prime minister, Heidi Allen, Anna Soubry and Sarah Wollaston said:

“We no longer feel we can remain in the party of a government whose policies and priorities are so firmly in the grip of the ERG [European Research Group] and DUP.

“Brexit has re-defined the Conservative Party - undoing all the efforts to modernise it. There has been a dismal failure to stand up to the hard line ERG which operates openly as a party within a party, with its own leader, whip and policy. The final straw for us has been this government’s disastrous handling of Brexit.

"Following the EU referendum of 2016, no genuine effort was made to build a cross-party, let alone a national consensus to deliver Brexit. Instead of seeking to heal the divisions or to tackle the underlying causes of Brexit, the priority was to draw up ‘red lines’. The 48% were not only sidelined, they were alienated.”

They added: “The country deserves better. We believe there is a failure of politics in general, not just in the Conservative Party but in both main parties as they move to the fringes, leaving millions of people with no representation. Our politics needs urgent and radical reform and we are determined to play our part.”

Theresa May's tactic of constantly indulging the right-wing brextreemists of the ERG and her allies in the DUP, whilst sidelining and ignoring the more moderate "one nation" Tories and all the Remainers, in an effort to save her party, has seriously back-fired.

The sensible Tory MPs have put up with it for far too long. She is like a very poor teacher who only pays attention to the naughty children. She has allowed herself to be taken hostage by the thugs, -ironic from someone who once warned that the Tories were seen as the "nasty party". So far only three have left. I wonder if more will follow.

Airbus warns government not to listen to Brexiteers’ ‘madness’

Senior vice president Katherine Bennett spoke for Airbus UK, which has 14,000 employees in the UK and claims to spend £5billion a year with UK suppliers.

During the 2016 referendum, Airbus UK had announced that it would not move, but CEO Tim Ender wrote to parliament in January saying that Brexit had put Britain’s aerospace industry “at a precipice”.

Speaking today on BBC’s Andrew Marr show, Ms Bennett said the company’s change of heart had come about because of the political failure to get a deal so far.

She reiterated that “difficult decisions” would have to be made in the event of a no deal Brexit.

If you were really bothered by the importation of salad stuff from 'foreign climes', you would not have bought it.

Maizie : 'I think that both the Labour party and the tories are more than likely to split anyway. '

in a way, that would be the only good outcome out of this mess- finally the split up of both left and right - which is perpetuated by the unique British First Past the Post system.

And the see-saw politics that it leads too- which are so damaging and destructive. The two party system needs to be broken to allow for more cooperation and consensus politics.

Maizied I did say in my previous comments that "sadly" it is difficult for a nation to stand alone. I agree that most clubs/blocs, etc., work for their own benefit because that is the way of the world. But it's rather a shame that competition rather than co-operation is the underlying principle upon which the world operates.

I did think the comedian on Question Time last night (who I believe is a leaver) made a good point. If the populations of the EU were more familiar with EU officials, and such officials were more visible, there wouldn't be such a feeling in some peopole of alienation and mistrust. We see our own parliamentarians but really the majority of people, in the UK at least, have very little exposure to and knowledge of the EU set up.

you are full of big drama ...fear .. it will not happen

Sadly I am afraid so. Stockpiling is not the answer for so many drugs which have short shelf life.

Isotopes for cancer treatment is going to be a massive issue to - people are starting to realise it is not 'project fear' but project reality.

Went to local pharmacy to get 3 meds that OH and I use regularly. All out of stock, they are having supply problems.....Is this a foretaste of no deal Brexit? I do hope not.
