    The difference this time is she has promised to put options in front of parliament and will abide by it which is a good thing

    For you remainers, as I say the only deal in town is Theresa May's and that is hardly a good deal unless she gets some wording changed by the EU negotiators.

    Very few of them will be MPs after the next election, There is only one opposition and that is the labour party and yes I get they are a useless shambles of a party just as split as the Tories

    The main thing is to leave the EU on any terms as long as we are out, We can then start to negotiate better and get our own way in the end, Leaving is the beginning, It was never the end

    If you live in Bradford I will have a bet with you that after the next election there will be still 4 labour MPs in Bradford.
    In fact we will have to face the awful fact that we will probably have a labour government because of the collapse of the Tories who may divide into two parties

    I thought it was just 3 mps for bradford?
    One in keighley but that is very marginal and seeing as Grogan supports a second referendum he might not last long.

    But i take it the Uk cannot negotiate new trade deals until the EU27 have let us leave- the backstop sticking point.
    They are not going to let us out of the hen house easily or early.

    Yes we were never going to get all we wanted but that was the reason for having our trump card "no deal" although I suppose that's like having a gun but knowing you'll never use it, isn't that one of Corbyn's comments with regards our nuclear weapons he would never press the red button.
    Will the backstop be negotiable and how long before the EU would sit and discuss it, and during that time we will have to take whats on offer, as well as free movement ?.
    As you say lets get out and see what happends in the coming EU elections that could be interesting.

    I'm not sure of that Corbyn has been a very poor leader in what is turning out to be a disaster for the Tories, Labour should be 20 points in front in the polls but the last I heard they are trailing.
    You could be right about Bradford still being red after the elections, it will be down to whats on offer from the two parties, not that they will stick to their manifesto promises.

    You are right in some respects but when the 5th largest economy in the world begins to learn how to use its might at last then things all of a sudden become achievable

    And when a quarter of our economy is based on inward foreign direct investment into the EU. 450 billion pounds annually to be precise, how will we project our might or even replace that lost revenue?

    The UK has the benefit of the largest share of foreign investment in the EU and that will not change and is likely to increase with more worldwide investment, What would fall dramatically is the amount invested in to the EU after the UK leaves as the UK share is taken from the EU figures. The share of non EU world trade is increasing while the EU share of world trade is starting to fall, The worlds largest economies in China and the USA do not have trade agreements with the EU but both have offered the UK a trade deal after we leave meaning we will be a partner in the worlds largest trading area

    Doing a trade deal with U S means we will be importing from them and look at the way trump works it will favour them. And in the case of food standards are lower than EU standards and our population would be exposed to that

    The US is already our largest trading partner as a country, It would only get better and we export a huge amount to them, As for food standards there is no evidence to suggest the US has lower standards of public health due to polices on food, The reason the EU does not accept the US standard is to keep cheaper food imports out of the EU and protect EU farmers, Nothing to do with the health standards as the USA outranks most of the EU in international food safety

    They pump their food with steroids. And as I say any deal will be in their favour business is obviously in favour of staying in the custom union our main market is Europe

    Are you serious?
    Not to mention the use of illegal pesticides and a multitude of GM foodstuffs.

    Now you may ask if eating all of this messes up your brain. Well, I give you Donald Trump and all the people who voted for him.

    What a strange assuption that only Trump supporters eat GM foods.
    I thought better from you, I bet you're a remainer ?.
    I hope you dont refer to us leave voters that way.
