I'm a bit confused. What's actually changed? As far as I can tell the withdrawal agreement hasn't been changed one iota. Am I mental or is that actually what's happened here?
Indeed, does this advice really mean they want to stop the deal completely that's the choice they have to make. Likely they will reject it again and the rest of us stuck in the middle. I don't know where we go from here.Of course the dup may change their stance when it comes down to it.
Odds on the vote being pulled?
if the ERG and DUP vote for this deal now, why on earth didn't they vote for it in January. Because it's the same thing. If they DO vote for it now, they are admitting that they have just wasted a critical two months in which they could have been giving some leadership to the country and to business[1], and admitting that they have royally pissed off partners across the Channel that we'll be wanting to do business with in the future.[1] On which topic, I see that our GDP growth for the three months to January was an anemic 0.2%. We're barely keepin gout of recession, and even this growth is thought to be, to some extent, due to companies stockpiling materials in case of a No deal Brexit.
Fair play to Cox. I suspect that in the Cabinet meeting this morning, they put the thumbscrews on him to give a positive gloss. But it appears he's put professional integrity above that.
