    JRM has a singular world view that's undoubtedly been shaped to a great extent by his late father's books, (Blood in the Streets, The Great Reckoning, and The Sovereign Individual) just the titles should give you some idea of the thinking behind what could potentially be our next PM and why he's so eager to push us towards a hard Brexit.

    He is the kind of Christian who is fervently praying for the apocalypse that will kill billions of souls because he is convinced that his will be saved in the rapture.

    The ultimate "I'm alright, Jack" belief system.

    Seems a natural belief system for anyone that grows up insulated from suffering and strife.

    I'll believe it when it's signed as for the last week the media has been playing a game of let's ask family and friends if they think Theresa will take the offer from the dealer or what's in her box.

    It will have a shorter half-life than francium.

    Boris going on about it being the first time in hundreds of years that we will have follow EU laws and not our own if we stay in a Customs Union or whatever.

    Funny, I thought according to him we already had no say and we were to leave to "take back control".

    Brexit is essentially looking like just giving up control.

    Goodness knows how she's going to get this through parliament, it's basically BRINO what with keeping the UK in a customs union indefinitely and it treats NI differently than the rest of the UK.

    I guess we'll be seeing loads of resignations tomorrow or even worse Mrs May stepping down and/or calling a GE.

    Congratulations to the UK, you now have a rough idea of what Brexit might look like, enjoy your referen... oh damn, you just had to do it over two years ago and you will be lucky if even this particular fudge actually becomes reality.

    Rees-Mogg is pissy because RTE learned about it before the Beeb.

    Yes. Really.

    Soo what exactly has been agreed?

    Is this just the transition bit presumably.

    If I've read things right they've fudged the irish border issue by agreeing the one thing the frothers won't tolerate [uk-wide customs arrangement].

    Basically it's a compromise that everyone this side of the channel hates for one reason or another [regardless of whether those complaining have read it or not].

    The DUP "promises" a new PM at least:

    On another note:

    She is in full robot mode again and now tries to sell "UK wide customs arrangement" as leaving the Customs Union:hehe:
