    As her cabinet appears to be equally divided between 3 Plan B's, I thought she might only do the opposite of what 67% of them wanted, but no, she could well achieve 100% with some help:

    Cameron 'advising PM on Brexit options'


    That appears to be on target if he's training her.

      Considering the hubris of Cameron got us into this mess in the first place, I'd tell him to go forth and multiply.

            Corbyn has got round to tabling a no confidence motion but failed to ask for a vote. So the last vote of no confidence was the Tory party, this if triggered will be parliament-wide (i think) but I would expect the same outcome as it's a ridiculous time to replace the government.

            And the new vote on TM's plan is delayed until Jan 14th so yet another month wasted.

            But, at last! They're getting around to thinking of plans for a no deal scenario! £2bn has suddenly appeared for this situation that should have started being planned for two years ago.

                    Have a look at this for their stance on non-PC activities

                    Congo - BBC News

                    Which includes:

                    "They encountered the Kingdom of Kongo - a well-organised society open to outsiders and trading in slaves and ivory"

                    Then read the rest of it.

                      He's not as daft as that, Loofah, as the vote of no confidence is in May not the Government. He is slowly being pushed into a motion of No Confidence in the Government by his extremists and remainers as that they know would fail but would strengthen their wish for him to ask, against his will, for a 2nd Referendum.:doh:

                      My apologies folks, I got a bit emotional /carried away :redface:

                      Thanks Pete.
                      Believe it or not, my opinion is shifting. I would still rather remain, but I’m sympathetic with the notion we already had a vote, even though I believe that a new vote would give a different result. I think a new ‘in/out’ vote would make the nation even more divided than it already is.
                      It’s looking highly likely that Mays deal won’t get off the ground. Where next? If parliament can’t sort it out, then I see no other option other than a clean break, not something to be taken lightly, but it is what it is.

                        This planning for a no deal situation, in my mind, is the stick we should have been using on the EU from day one.
                        Could be a bit too late now, but the apparently the EU only make deals at the twelfth hour.

                        Unfortunately the house of commons and those silly lords spent far too much time trying to defeat the idea of leaving, rather than facing up to the EU.

                          I hope you’re right, because despite what I said earlier, I think a no deal would cause us a lot of problems.

                            Firstly, you have nothing to apologise for - this thread has brought out a lot of strong, passionate views from both sides, but nobody is falling out with anyone else; we are all friends here, and as I said to @SimonZ in a recent post, when it comes down to it, all this politics is just a big game - - what really matters is people, your family and your friends.

                            Secondly, I think your assessment is about bang on in all respects.
