    Poor Nigel is going to be left with a load of unsold Brexit commemorative calendars using the wrong date!

      So, the EU have given the UK another couple of weeks to either:

      • Come up with a new plan (not likely in a couple of weeks given that it took two years to get to the current one)
      • Agree to accept the current deal (it has been rejected twice, so the only way it would be accepted now would be because they are being blackmailed into it)
      • No deal (which everyone seems to have arrived at the conclusion will be absolute Armageddon, despite not really knowing what will actually happen, or realising that most of that would be of their own creation)
      • Revoke Article 50 (which is the ultimate goal of the 'elite' I think)

      And it is that little nugget at the end there that is the rub - that is what the people who have bee stage-managing this whole process have wanted right from the start. We live in an age where we are being controlled and manipulated, and if you believe for one minute that we live in a free, democratic society, then you are deluded.

          Personally, I think the MPs will go for the deal. What other option is there? None at all, so the deal is it. Johnny Mercer has said he thinks its a bad deal but he'll vote for it just to get us out and then deal with the situation from outside the EU. As the MP's don;t want the No Deal choice then I'm guessing that that is what will happen and the PM will get that stupid, horrific smug smile on her face again and think she's pulled a blinder.

          Bloody parliament!!

            Any idea what's in the "deal" package? We never get told what has been negotiated in any detail.
            Are the MPs given this detail?

              Hello @Jenny namaste my friend
              Senior officials in Brussels and London have come up with a 585-page draft agreement, which will form the legal basis for Brexit.

              This is what I have looked at
              Draft Agreement on the withdrawal of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland from the European Union and the European Atomic Energy Community, as agreed at negotiators' level on 14 November 2018

              Over £45,000 was spent by the Brexit department printing copies of Theresa May’s Brexit withdrawal agreement

              Known as the withdrawal agreement, the long-awaited document is the result of months of intense talks to sort out key issues around the UK's exit from the European Union.

              It covers the main parts of the UK-EU relationship, from citizens' rights and the divorce bill, to the Irish border.

              Both sides have been forced to make concessions to get to this point and talks have ground to a halt many times, particularly over the threat of a frontier in Northern Ireland, which has prompted fears of a return to violence at the border.

              I have looked at some of it but knowing our MP's they probably haven't read it at all:lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                  Well I'm tending to think that things are now moving into the, revoke article 50 area.
                  Which was where the idiots were leading us from day one.

                  "Idiot"= an MP who wants your vote , and knows what is best for you regardless of what you might think.

                  I dont think my particular MP has done anything to get my vote next time.
