If we were to stay in a customs union, then agreed, no need for a fudge. But that isnt being spoken of is it? Or have I missed something? Could the current May Gov survive saying we will stay in a customs union? Wouldn
t there then be potential for a vote of no confidence?As if the current omnishambles weren`t enough, a General Election!
Well the Labour party has come out for a customs union.
The Tories haven’t come out openly in favour of one, but their DUP partners are clear about their position on the matter (without whose support the Tories simply lack a majority), and the Tory moderates have also expressed an intention to vote with Labour on the matter.
The real threat for May is that if she doesn’t support a customs union, then she’s effectively going to lose a vote of confidence, and the Tories are probably going to have to go to the country again, but they’ll be in total disunity when they do so.
Some in Labour like Field have nay-sayed a customs union, but as with the Tories, I haven’t heard an alternative argument for how they actually address the Northern Ireland problem, so it remains an unsolved puzzle on that front.
I suspect the Tories will be waiting to see how this Russian scandal plays out, and they’ll go to the country if it provides a bounce in the polls - but so far, I don’t have a great sense that it’s going in their favour, because the media has taken a second thought and started to ask questions, and the affair has drawn attention to the Tories’ own dirty laundry (literally, their corrupt Russian money connections, and the fact that just a couple of weeks ago they voted down Labour who were trying to introduce measures to hit the Russians in their pockets where it hurts).
Remainer May was put in place by the Con Europhiles ( who took us into the EU ) to sabotage Brexit and she’s succeeded.
Corbyn is pretending to be onside with the Labour Brexit vote.While all the time knowing that Labour is actually onside with May’s remain agenda because Labour,being a Socialist rabble,is ideologically opposed to what can only possibly be an ideologically Nationalist agenda of Brexit.
The Russian issue has all the signs of a desperate,dangerous and all too conveniently well timed false flag set up.As part of project fear to divert attention from the above treachery of the government defying the Leave referendum vote and to obviously hopefully create an environment that promotes continuing our ties with the EU while damaging the case for Brexit.
While even if there is a Russian threat on our own turf it’s only that which the government itself has brought here and invited in as part of the above plan and which has grown bolder because of the deliberate downgrading of the NATO nuclear deterrent.Combined with a dangerous EU and NATO game of trying to ‘contain’ Russia while pretending detente.Instead of the proven defence policy based on deterrents and compromise while keeping our guard up,which kept the peace through the Cold War.On that note it seems difficult to believe that Russia would have bothered with such a stupid pointless operation just to get back at one of its traitors or even just to warn us.When surely the best plan of action,from Putin’s point of view,would have just been to take him/them out properly followed by the expulsion of Brit embassy staff and the official nuclear threat that was issued by Russia anyway.While as it stands it looks like a typical remain project fear stunt that has backfired possibly catastrophically depending on what Putin does next.
No surprise bearing in mind that the remain scum have WMD’s zb liar Blair on their side now trying to drag us into an even bigger fight all to save their EU project and that we might not get out of anything like as easily this time.
