Leave: verb
1 - go away from / depart permanantly from / cease attending
2 - allow or cause to remain (yes, genuinely) - "the parts he disliked he would alter and the parts he didn't dislike he would leave"
https://www.lexico.com/en/definition/leave
So, you see, leave does mean leave. It also means remain
In your case, however, the country had a chance to leave before March 31 2019 and chose to take option 2 rather than option 1 - though it was remainers voting to leave and leavers voting to remain.
Hopefully that's fried your tiny noggin. Next inane one liner please.

I think it appropriate at this point to thank Nye Bevan and Clement Atlee for their Socialist attitudes that gave us the NHS.
Bloody annoying that those who care least about the NHS, successfully used the suggestion they would be helping NHS, to get people to vote for an outcome that would harm the NHS.
I wish people who use the word Socialist as a pejorative term would recognise that they have probably had a state education, state health care and enjoy rights as a citizen, that Socialists fought for.

There's only one version this Government wants "get ready for Brexit " no point in denying it PalAnd therein lies the problem. Which version would you like explained ?
I can't honestly believe that, 3 and a bit years on, the penny has finally dropped

The parts he disliked, yes that's correct the parts to stop him from leaving, get ready for Brexit

So the latest talk is a NI only back stop which will solve the boarder issue.
It will be interesting to see if that could get enough votes.

So your Daily Mail didn't report Mann resigning as a Labour MP to work for the Tories

Which is why the Brexit issue needs to be resolved before a GE otherwise people will be voting in a government for a short term resolution on a single issue. The govt will then have about 5 years to implement their plans that they may not have been voted in for
Don't disagree. A GE on Boris's terms becomes the second referendum in everything but name, only with "no deal" as the leave option. Every tool of popularlism, from Sun editorials to alt-right Russion troll factories would be deployed in support of one issue, with the country then stuck with the choice between five years of the most right wing government the country has ever seen, five years of Jezza (or at least as long as he lasted as I wouldn't think he'd manage the full term without imploding) or another hung parliament with fringe groups dominating the agenda. I can't say I fancy any of the three, personally.

One paper yesterday said Boris is considering handing over PM to Corbyn and then pushing for GE to annihilate him in the poll, and give Boris a sizeable working majority..
Can we please have the one that doesn't look like a pudding tied up in the middle:-

He looked so classy when he rolled his eyes when asked a question about the GFA and choice of words.

How can that happen
Fairly easy in practice. Vote of no confidence and whipping conseravtives in favour of national unity with Corbyn as temp PM?
But can the government table such a bill or does it have to be under the FTPA?
The government could table a vote of no confidence in itself. It's a risky notion as it doesn't give the impression of a government that knows what it's doing but it could do it
So your Daily Mail didn't report Mann resigning as a Labour MP to work for the Tories
Kind of shows how anti-Semitic Labour really have become for one of their MPs to resign to join a Tory government because of it.

I have listened to John Mann a few times on the radio. When he speaks you ask yourself, where are the rest of you. Talks complete sense.

Yeah, because that worked so well when May took on Corbyn.
