My prediction for Brexit:

@Burnley123 you summed it up months ago; weve shot ourselves in the foot and there's a no win situation whichever way it goes. It's damage limitation now. It's going to the wire.

@Burnley123 Well it's obvious that's what they have to keep doing if we're going to try again.

@CountScrofula You can find it interesting but I'll find it stressful LOL. It'll be a return to the tension and division we saw during the 2016 coup and leadership contest. These have never gone away but were bubbling under the surface because of the good 2017 election result. Most Labour MPs would still get rid of Corbyn and Momentum if they could do it easily. They can't do it easily because of what happened last time.

[quote]A split in labour between the socialists and neoliberals[/quote]

The Labour divisions are actually a lot more complicated than that. In rudimentary terms, there are kind of four levels of Labour MP on the left/right spectrum. There is the hard-left (inc Corbyn), the soft left, the old Labour right and the Blairites. Only the hard-left are what you would consider socialist and the MPs in the middle are social democrats (in theory if not always in practice). The truth is more nuanced than that but this works to help you understand.

It's only the Blairites who are talking about splitting. The middle Labour MP's have 'mixed' feelings about Corbyn but they are Labour loyalists and culturally embedded within the party. Even the old-labour right, who often side with the Blairites consider themselves pro-union and they are 'Labour nationalists'. It's only thirty or so Blairite MPs who are in remain constituencies who are in any danger of splitting. There is history with this and the same thing happened in the 80s. However, it might not happen because a 'centre' (i.e. classical liberal party) would be an awkward marriage of Blairites, Lib Dems and a few Tory remainers. It would also most probably get crushed by our two-party electoral system. It would damage the Labour vote though and make it more likely that a Brexity Tory party wins an election. That is what happened in 1983 and it gave Thatcher a huge majority. It would be nice to have them out of the party though.

@SW-User Some of us hard lefties actually think that Sky News is more neutral and reasonable than the BBC.

@Burnley123 To be hones I rarely watch Sky News. I've found over the years that both parties accuse the BBC of bias for the other party. It's got it's faults but I think it's generally ok.

@SW-User I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that.

@monte3 It possibly would and its known they've had meetings to discuss it. If it does happen, then it will get only a few Tory MPs. The Lib Dems do still exist but they only have eight MPs because they are still (quite rightly) blamed by the electorate for their coalition days with the Tories from 2010-2015.

@monte3 Like a unicorn LOL.

That is kind of a serious answer. IMO there is no Brexit deal that we could possibly get which would retain the benefits of staying in the EU without huge downsides. Unfortunately, a lot of Brexit voters believe in the unicorn and will be angry if (when) they don't get one.

@Burnley123 Yeah, if there was a plausible way to have all the benefits and none of the consequences, the UK would have done it a long time ago.

And there is a ECJ court ruling that says it can be cancelled by Parliament

Perhaps it is time to reverse another process they chopped off King Charles head once,maybe it is time to take Parliament outside and chop off their heads

@Burnley123 perhaps we can reverse another process, they chopped off King Charles head once, maybe the time has come to take Parliament outside and chop off their heads now. After all it appears that Cromwell and co clearly made a mistake all the way back then.

@RodionRomanovitch Brexit does have a very Dad's Army vibe about it. The wartime analogies, the staggering incompetence,

I fear there will be riots if there is an extension and these riots will be extreme. It's not what I want but I feel a vibe in greater London and the suburbs. @Platinum

[@Ironicman they will say they need a small extension to get Parliment to pass her deal and then to get it passed the eu and then legally passed ...can't see them having enough time....I agree there will be trouble ahead...

@thatscottishguy Good luck with Scrotshit.
