EU Referendum Megathread (Brexit)

[Zak]

why are you joking when companies are now starting to move at least part of their operations and/or cancel investment

Armageddon.

I'm so scared someone get me my blankie.

you both seem to think this is completely irrelevant to ordinary people
if investment starts waning, people lose jobs...

Like I have always said,

Sovereignty and Democracy > GDP figures

why not just admit you're wrong for once rather than bringing up something irrelevant and then maybe you'd actually learn something

That's the problem isn't it for continuity Remain? If, could, might, may.

Given all previous predictions of disaster were found to be hollow, why should we believe a word now?

It's now only 28 days until Brexit and at this moment of posting...

Brexit is 692 hours away. #brexit

With the events of the last week, I now feel the PM will get her tweaked(?) Withdrawal Agreement through the House of Commons before March 29th 2019, although I think the penalty will be her career. My bet is on the WA passing, and a new PM by the Autumn.

i've only really just caught up on a week's worth of brexit news when I had a chance today... saw Barnier said it might be delayed, is this likely? I can't really imagine anything being agreed and passed in the short time left?

I think there's a chance they won't seek an extension if the deal passes on 12th March (or before) when it returns to the House of Commons. I think there's still (just) the time for the bill to also pass the House of Lords and receive Royal Assent. Only just.

From what I read, they've already prepared Parliament for round-the-clock sittings to pass all the relevant legislation that also has to go through. The House of Lords will also likely not play 'ping pong' if time is limited and will nod it all through. If her Withdrawal Agreement is defeated again on the 12th though, there's no longer time to try a third time without a delay.

Of course, extending because they can't pass the Withdrawal Agreement may not even be possible... the French have said that they will not agree to an extension if Parliament cannot come to an agreement. Too right in my view, as what does delaying achieve?

I just can't see any kind of deal being passed though? From what I've seen there's no majority for anything, be that Brexit, soft brexit or hard Brexit. I don't think anything will actually be passed, potentially for a very long time?
