Not really. Sensible thing is to bin Brexit. Maybe come back to it in a few years when people have had a chance to absorb the last few years.

Oh....if only it were that easy....trouble is....the cat is out of the bag, likes its freedom and doesn't want to go back in the bag.

Come on then genius.Explain where the ECB gets the Euros from to buy up the debt.Have they borrowed a Magic Money Tree from our Labour and Tory politicians?

Same place the Bank of England got its Sterling, read up on it, anything I tell you, you won't believe, but magic money tree is pretty close.

Labour have nothing to lose. If they agree a deal with May, and she resigns and the new leader reverses it, the Tories look bad and Labour have lost nothing (apart from the time they've spent coming up with the deal, which is what they're paid to do).

Eh? What Labour ‘stand to lose’ in this scenario, is every single bit of influence they have in shaping the form of Brexit (or otherwise) we take.

C - we can’t get Brexit over the line, will you please help us?
L - we will yes, but only if you agree to include a, b and c.
C - sure. All agreed. Sign (vote) here
*Brexit deal goes through parliament*
*May steps down. New PM*
L - so, about a, b and c...
C - hahahahahahaha. Suckers.

Flash and fascinating 1st part of a 2-parter Brexit: Behind Closed Doors on at the moment (21:00- 22:00) on BBC 4, giving behind-the-scenes insight into the Brexit negitiations, from the point of view of the EU negotiators. Scathing stuff. They're basically highly amused and dismissive of the shenanigans in the UK. As well they might be. Highly recommended viewing.

Typical Watford zero-answers,wasting half a page on drivel.The only pair of village idiots in one job are the 'leaders' of the Green Party.

Yes - agreed. My takeaways from this were


1. That they look on us with a mixture of frustration and affection (the balance changing towards the former, and with good reason)

2. That for all we hear about the secrecy and remoteness of the institutions of the EU, it was an astonishingly transparent window into the high level decision-making processes

3. That in respect of the way they 'do politics', I rather prefer theirs to ours.

Some interesting candid views on named Tory politicians, they certainly don't pull any punches!

Second part tonight promises to be great viewing as the Brexit clock ticks down and frustrations mount

I've not seen it so hopefully it's on iPlayer. There was a three part series about the EU ( rather than just Brexit although Brexit was involved ) a few months back. Even as a leaver I was highly impressed with how Tusk came across ..... not at all what I expected.
