Yeah agreed. 2nd ref is the best solution; but once again, what options will be on the ballot? Will it be Remain/Leave (w/wo deal)/Leave with deal ?

Tom Watson can say he wants a second ref all he wants but THERE'S NO WAY TO GET IT WITH THIS PARLIAMENT
How many times does it need to be voted down before people get the message?

John Harris has done a little retread over some of the places from his Anywhere but Westminster series, the country seems knackered.

Still it's interesting in seeing some of the people who voted leave looking a bit uncertain about what has been done since the vote.

thinking you can get a referendum in this parliament when there's no majority just for the idea - let alone once you choose what's on the ballot and who is in the sufferage - before you even get to the barrier of the wholly hostile executive looking to undermine it, is hilarious
it's a unicorn so large it genuinely makes me more sympathetic to the comparatively reasonable demands of the ERG
Nope, haven't released any if that yet. Bojo has had the spotlight firmly on the gov so the BXP fucks kinda went under the radar.
Got to be cheeky and propose a Continued Referendum instead, ask what kind of Brexit people want - No Deal Brexit, May Deal Brexit, or 5 Minute Temporary Wink Wink Brexit
it's great that this https://thebrexitparty.com/ ranks higher than the official website when searching for "brexit party manifesto"
"Mr. Johnson, your party seems to have the momentum of a runaway freight train. Why are you so popular?"
I'm not sure how i feel about it to be honest, i think i'm suffering from stunt fatigue a little bit, but i get why they are there.
Anyway i doubt they can top the Dr yelling at Mogg in the commons through a massive megaphone.
This shit is dangerous, no media should cover it.
They get to prescreen questions so nothing serious is asked and bypass the scrutiny of the media.
I think the only people remotely taking it as worth anything are in the tory party.
People can't be that stupid though, in the event of only pro Boris / pro Leave w/o deal questions are asked. He'll get butchered in the media.
People can be that stupid or simply not know that the questions have been prescreened. A clip on the news can make it look like a regular media interview
And they get a load of data about regions/voters interested in the Conservatives that can be exploited, bombarded and pseudo-deanonymised based on gov.uk.
The fucking nerve of Johnson to have one of his phoney 'people's' PMQ streams on the day his fuckery stopped Parliamentary PMQs happening.
In theory I'd agree, however a super majority would be too much maybe a 55% with a 60% turnout. If it was a super-majority we wouldn't have equal right to marriage or abortion.
However the terms are set at this point and it is a simple majority for the border polls.
I remember the GFA being negotiated, I watched the news every night and for months after it was never a sure thing or that it would stick. The wording was the best they could get at the time and a lot of it is ambiguous on purpose because it was the only way to get it through both communities.
There will be massive challenges when it passes and I expect it too sooner or later, a hard Brexit will just make it sooner, we're going to have to deal with the Unionists at some point and come to terms.
Never even thought of that, fits right in with Cummings referendum tactics.
Post-Brexit I'd be in favour of integration - I don't see the benefit to Northern Ireland or the K (previously UK) of dragging Northern Ireland down with us. Scottish independence would be more harmful, I suspect. I'd still rather vote in the SNP nationwide and move the seat of government from London to Edinburgh.
"I'll see you next time...err, well not that I'll see you, but you'll see me". Lmao, he couldn't even hold a 15 minute conversation, without a gaff lol.
Integration is going to be a massive pain in the arse for everyone. We'll probably need to do huge local government reforms, healthcare (I'm not sure how people will feel about having to pay for GPs again), etc.
Culturally we're all living together after a fashion especially those in the border counties.But I'm 45 and I've been around the world (EU, OZ, ..)and all over the republic of ireland, but never set foot in Northern Ireland and I doubt I'm hugely unusual.
He's also doing Peston's show. It's ridiculous, he doesn't accurately represent the Leave side at all.
The government isn't the only body with access to Yellowhammer, though. And since those documents are no longer protected after 11pm, I'm sure someone would be happy to leak them.
Even if Yellowhammer documents are released, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot of the typical Torie voters / Brexiteers, stay in denial, and/or harp on about "worst case".
You just have to read the comments on any Brexit article to see that people, even some on the remain side, are completely fucking bonkers.
Depending on the extent of the damage described in Yellowhammer, it could seriously raise a question of moral, if not legal, responsibility.
There should be a point where as a government senior official, if you see credible reports that your policy will explicitly lead to deaths and damage, you choose to hide this information from the public and push ahead with that policy by bypassing elect institutions, you should face serious consequences.
This is all of course in a sane, transparent and accountable world.

Gordon Ramsey is a good cook but I'm not about to eat a plate of shit he's prepared.
This happened just over the road from my shop today ...
... that picture is from after all the shards of plate glass and rubble had been cleared away. It made a helluva bang (but thankfully nobody was injured).
The driver was sober and acting in what he thought was everybody's best interests but made a really dumb mistake.
For some reason I thought it an appropriate metaphor for something-or-other.

so leadsom and the government talk shit right up until the moment their lawyers say 'er...you'd better release those docs'. So now they'll do the usual project fear bollocks.
