Article 50

dj Paterson doesn't seem to be the brightest spark in the box. Never fails to underwhelm.

Can we have Let It Go placards as well to wave Jalima

have to say i chuckled there Ana. bayonets to the fore.

I presume these two went as part of Brexit and not of their own volition.
May had better rein them in if she wants the UK to get a good deal.

Let us all sing.....you know how it goes 'Let it go, let it go!'The referendum result never bothered me anyway, tra la!'

saak all the Brexiteers could march just as everyone did when Trump was inaugurated, block the streets, get in the way of people trying to get to important appointments, stopping old ladies going about their lawful business etc etc

Will the Americans march as well?

Watch this space

Don't be silly aak Article 50 will be activated.

Presumably what you are talking about is the shape of the UK after Brexit. Now that certainly will be challenged. Don't forget Parliament is sovereign.

Threat?

Don't be silly. A 'threat' from one lone Gransnetter?

Is that a threat?

when are you lot going to just let it go? remainers are really rather embarrassing themselves now. what do you think would happen if by some ridiculous chance article 50 was never quite allowed to be activated because of constant blocking. do you really think that everything would "get back to normal" out voters who won via a democratic process will just roll over and concede. this really would cause anarchy and possibly a civil war.

I've just read that there are fewer civil servants than at any time since the second world war. Working out Brexit is going to be interesting for the Brexiteers.
They want small government, they are getting it.

Miller isn't a remainer. She believes in Parliamentry sovereignty as I do. The Brexiters plan to stitch up the British and take away our rights without our assent, was never going to be a runner. May showed lack of judgement.

Well that's alright then. Knock yourselves out

Only one thing happened so far, isn't there? Hardly all the silly things.
If May had not challenged the first decision, it wouldn't have cost so much to the taxpayer.
That's a thought. She hasn't put that on the cost of Article 50. Why not?

Pay for it ourselves through crowdfunding.

Makes me wonder who's footing the bill for all the silly things the remainers are getting up to.

I think she should and will whip on some amendments and allow a free vote on others, such as working rights. AS EU law is initially going to be fully incorporated into UK law so workers rights will be. Doesn't exclude modifying later on if needs be.

There is talk of several Tory MP's voting against but I doubt she will wield the whip, she may though. With such a small majority I doubt the MP's will vote against , difficult one for both labour and Tory MP's

" some free access"

A contradiction in terms.

"May will probably have to accept some of these amendments if she wants to meet her deadline"

Or whip her own MPs.

Going back to the post by Dj - about trade / visa deals - India has made it clear they want the same - many many more visas and Priti Patel did promise some free access to the Indian subcontinent during the campaign. Australia also wants more visas.
I don't think these are the sort of deals the Brexit group were thinking about.

Tricia, some in the party think he has made a good choice, as it enables him to show he is the leader.
Has anyone else read the amendments that Labour are going to try and make to the article 50 bill?

If these amendments are voted on and passed, there will be no reason for those who have resigned to have done so. They jumped the gun.
May will probably have to accept some of these amendments if she wants to meet her deadline.

We cannot forget he sacked Hilary Benn for sticking to his beliefs . This is the problem for people who live in glass houses

Far safer being the ageing rebel on the backbenches.
