I saw Theresa May described as a 'walking coathanger' earlier, and it's the best thing I've read all day.

Coathangers are at least malleable enough to be bent into a new shape. TM, not so much.

It was fine, don't know what all the fuss was about.

It is quite stunning how the range of potential outcomes is still so wide at this late stage - and I say that disregarding total outliers such as revoking article 50 without a referendum or election or calling an election before 29 March.

One possible outcome (unlikely currently but who knows how that may change): if the MPs vote today not to leave with no deal, could the Art.50 notification be revoked in favour of a negotiated exit?

I still think they'll revoke it (hopefully as a result of the EU to refuse an extension on the grounds of incompetence on our part).

What do you mean by that exactly?

Revoke Art.50. It's not the only way to exit the EU treaties. Do so by negotiation of a proper future long term trading arrangement and leave by mutual agreement.

I see - they wouldn't like that though (and might insist on the UK using the "proper mechanism") on the basis that it doesn't give them all the leverage!

It is a bit far-fetched, I accept - but in this process that doesn't rule it out!

But they won't. They won't negotiate our departure without Art 50 and they won't negotiate a trade deal until we're a '3rd country'.Jobbo wrote: Wed Mar 13, 2019 4:58 pmRevoke Art.50.

Close majority to reject no-deal at any time, though not legally binding. Rees Mogg and co. won't like that

Article 50 is
Mega farce.
