Perhaps not. As Harold Wilson once said, a week is a long time in politics. Those whips are going to be overheating, suggestions of losing jobs after a GE will be bandied about. Perhaps a virulent opponent will be stuck by a falling piano.. Who knows what will happen. The there's those Sinn Feiners...

What deal ? The accord is currently subject of so much discussion is just to avoid a totally disorderly exit. It is not a deal on future trade in the long term. We can slam the door, pay them nothing and walk away or accept what is on offer to be allowed to try to reach some sort of permanent agreement at a later date.

Well I'm supposing they think that they can bully the EC into changing their view of things. Don't see it myself unless they've got some leverage over Macron and Merkel that no-one has yet used or discovered. The E.C has no reason whatsover to change it's stance.

Still can't see what they think they'll achieve by changing their leader and thus P.M. Well just a hard Brexit I suppose and I'm really not sure that that'll be allowed to come to pass.

Sounds reasonable. Anyway having money doesn't always guarantee that we'd do anything vaguely useful with it anyway. How much did we spend last summer, 60 million or so (including what we'll have to pay for Ings which they'll just knock off of what the owe us anyway) and I don't see that we're really any better for it.

Probably, just needs a couple of big titted, porno actresses to start spreading stories about him and he'll be a shoe-in.

Well as long as it doesn't get to the ridiculous red and yellow hanky throwing of the NFL or free kicks and the like getting moved forward or back 10 yards if a player dares to make any comment (as in Rugby Union) then I'm all for it. Far too many crass reffing errors and instead of cancelling themselves out over a season they seem to aways favour the big teams now.

If you've got 20£ to throw away I guess it is. What are his credentials? Has he held any serious office or is he just another Big Mouthed chancer?

Would that be the case if they could get Sinn Fein to actually turn up and vote for them? Are there not 7 who never turn up or vote? That would give them 322 if there are no Conservative defections so they'd need to get 3 of the independants . Don't know how they lean though.

Ah I see now that some bright spark Conservative MP has come up with a great idea. Get a new P.M and simply jettison the parts of the "accord" that they don't like. Not worth any trouble there my friend, even I can tell you the eventual response of the E.C which would be "If you want to leave just leave but it's on our terms or nothing at all". That's why 2 years or so of negociations have got the accord that's on offer and nothing else. The only other solution is to throw N.I under the bus.

Gabriel Jesus was an Olympic Games gold medalist with Brazil in 2016. That's enough to get him a work permit I'd have thought. Richarlison didn't play in their Olympic side (or I don't think he did anyway) but he was in their Unders side that won the South American 2017 equivalent of the U21 Euro.

Is he any good at negociating?

Well yes, that's because the vote of some old gran who's fed up with the Polish corner shop and the vote of the Chairman of Jaguar or Rolls Royce had exactly the same value when the counting was done. Why Cameron ever agreed to a referendum is one of the great mysteries of the last 500 years or so. The UKIP were no real threat and he had a workable majority to do exactly nothing. Even then he only had to include all UK passport holding expats in Europe in the vote and he'd have walked over any opposition. Excluding those living overseas for over 15 years was just a dumb stunt. Most other countries allow their expats to vote in national elections and some even have specific representatives in their ruling bodies. the London French have their own Deputé in the Assembly.

All of this just points out that you should never ever let the people decide about anything of any importance. That just gets you Brexit and Trump. The French rejected the European Constitution but the then government imposed it upon them anyway.

So to sum it up: Those who want Brexit are throwing their toys out of the pram because they're getting a sort of Brexit and those who want no Brexit at all are throwing their toys out of the pram because they think that'll get them another referendum. In the meantime everything remains in complete limbo and nothing is getting done or is likely to get done. Oscar Wilde could have penned all this and got a barrel of laughs in the West End. No scotch that, it's more like Brian Rix, even bordering on Sid James and Hattie Jaques.

What? The night?

if you say so, I obviously know very little (bordering on absolutely nothing) about him. So this situation resembles those played out in Comedy Films. Send a duffer (who usually comes up trumps and gets the girl) to screw something you really don't want over.

I probably know more about the European Commission than he does, being a retired employee of theirs like.. There's always been a bit of contempt within the EC over the UK sending a procession of also rans to negociate with them. These people never stood a chance. Now if Cameron hadn't run away it might have been different. At least he held some sort of respect.

Why's that then? Is it when you get out of jail or something :-)

Must be a bit simple that Raab bloke. The EU don't want us to leave or if we do they want to leave a stark message to anyone else who fancies trying. They've known all along that the "Brexit" was in the hands of rank amateurs with limited top level experience and just let the Brits stymie themselves.

Looks like a fair recipe for relegation.

However if Chelsea get the 4 window ban that FIFA are trying to get imposed on them I doubt if anyone will be going anywhere from Chelsea FC.

Oh I think they've every reason to be scared actually. I really don't see any other outcome, this deal or no brexit because there is no way that the UK will just slam the door. May lost that option with her ill-advised General Election.

Don't see it making much difference really. They're all far too inexperienced to obtain a Brexit with any reasonable outcome anyway. The EU are just following their rules, there are 2 options really, in or out. If it's out then it has to be done cleanly and accept the consequences.

Still adds up to a total waste of money though doesn't it. Think Vestergaard turns up for free to sit on the bench every week since the first couple of games? Club has been disastrously run for several years now.
