So I take it The Moggester has shot his bolt too soon?

I'm guessing he doesn't have 47 friends - no great surprise.

You do all realise this is all just a big distraction? Divide and conquer whilst something bigger is going on.

They've been saying they have 48 letters since last Friday but still not reached their target yet.

In truth, nobody wants to be PM until this is over, because she's on a hiding to nothing. That's why they're allowing 'that woman' to do their dirty work.

Bloody hell. I guessed that sheep might have been enfrachised, but surely turkeys don't get a vote in Wales. Nobody believes that, do they? Well, OK, you're a leaver so..............


It's probably because of Brexit............................


No, you are far too clever for me...don't get that at all.

Don't mind his passive aggressiveness when you criticise Brexit, especially with some relevant bloody facts you mad man!

Guardian this morning says 26.

Someone has speculated that Boris' cronies withdrew their letters when Mogg made a big thing about sending his letter in to make the plum talking tosser look ( even more ) stupid.

I noticed Maria Caulfield has deleted her tweet from last Saturday saying she had put her letter in.

Rees-Mogg's lap dog Steve Baker has badly overestimated this as well. He was saying on Friday 48 were already in.

What a shame.

We are at the point where we have a little clarity, this deal or a tweaked version of it, No Deal, or Remain.

But I think there is still a lot of fantasy going on about no deal.
No deal is not likely to produce a situation where we give the EU none of the divorce settlement, we will seek to have a number of Bi-lateral agreements, and leaving them with our debt is going to make that a bit tougher on us. My reckoning is we will pay a bit less though.
If we leave with No Deal on the 29th March, there is no certainty of a transition period being afforded us, it might happen to save us from a cliff edge, if the EU can see a benefit for them too, like getting all the divorce settlement, and not facing the cliff edge themselves, even if their cliff is a lot smaller.
We would need to have bi-lateral agreements in many areas, this would involve us adopting EU rules in those areas, no big change for us then, but we would still have the effective situation that a lot of our new laws each year originate in Brussels, only this time, we didn't help create them.
No deal is likely to end up with us looking quite like the Swiss in a few years time in regards to our relationship with the EU. Freedom of movement is likely to return at some point in the future, as a bi lateral agreement, we will of course make the sovereign decision in Parliament to accept it, and not have it forced upon us, but the end result is very similar, only worse because we can't shape the rules.

I can't be certain that Free movement will return, but neither is it possible to say it will never return, as a non member state.

Might have been that comment that stayed the hand of a few, no need to stick your head above the parapet if the job is done. I think it is 26 that have gone public but rumoured to be closer in reality, 6 short is what I read.
