So Raab C. Brexit has deserted the sinking ship, the comment regarding his good conscience made me titter a bit....

I assume that McVey is waiting instruction from her close friend IDS (she got to the top purely on merit you understand).

The government must be devastated to lose such an intellectual power house. tbf to Raab, he's still coming to terms with the shock of discovering that most of our trade with Europe goes via Dover and not the magic trade pixies as he'd previously assumed.

Rab C Exit (twitter)

I want to be next Brexit Secretary. Clearly if you don't agree with the deal you are notionally in charge of then you don't really do anything.

Therefore I intend to head to the south of France for 6 months and negotiate a friction-less trade of wine and good food into my mouth and wait for the whole thing to blow over. Can I have my expenses in Euros please.

I actually feel a bit sorry for the guy, he appears to have actually resigned last night but no one noticed and even today the MSM don't seem to be really reporting it....

In essence he has resigned as he doesn't agree with something he negotiated, which is a particular mess to get oneself in.... He does appear to be not particularly bright, which says a lot about the quality of this government as he is being touted in parts as a challenger to May....

Interesting though...

In the last few minutes, since news broke of Dominic Raab’s resignation, the pound has fallen sharply ... down more than 1% against the euro and the dollar - a big move. Against the euro it is now 1.1382 and against the dollar $1.2873. It was over $1.30 first thing this morning."


I am sure its entirely coincidental that he could have resigned last evening yet waited for the markets to open this morning and his backers to no doubt get their positions sorted before resigning...

He hasn't negotiated this new membership package, it was arranged by May,Merkel and Oilly Robbins.
It not a transition/leaving deal its a keeping the UK in the eu, this deal would expire 14 years after the vote to leave
So all you hive thinking remainiacs should be delighted we're stuck in the eu for ever,its BRINO.
Enjoy watching your grandchildren going off to serve in the new eu army. they'll have front row cannon fodder seats.
See how easily democracy dies.

Except now we've given away almost all of our say and our vito in exchange to control a vastly over egged immigration "problem" and to get a blue passport.

Nobody wins in Brexit. Sure that's obvious.

Interesting in the resignation letters that no one has actually suggested what should be done....
