Your Brexit Story for the Day - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The Conservative Government is flaying kites to see if any get support, thus far NOTHING seems to work.  The UK should leave the EU, that is a given, the people have decided, but the UK should keep being  a member of the Customs Union and the Single Market, that would solve the problem of Northern Ireland.   The PM has a problem, she can count on the Labour Opposition to support the UK staying in the Customs Union but not the Single Market, the PM should make a plea to Labour MPs to support the Government with the combined option, even if this is against the view of the Labour leadership.  Brexit is NOT EASY!!

New Pressure on Corbyn when it comes to Brexit - Post Brexit


Lets Get Real:

The Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn should use this pressure from the left to change his mind about Brexit, Labour should support the UK leaving the EU, but keep the UK in the Customs Union and Single Market.   The problem is that Jeremy Corbyn in his heart of hearts is a hard Brexit supporter and wants to leave the Single Market as a way to allow a future Labour Government to take over large areas of the UK economy.   If Labour wins the next election and the UK is still in the Single Market it is  trapped, the rules of the single market do not allow Governments to take over and fund economic sectors.    On the Conservative side the PM needs to get a move on, the EXIT Bill can not be delayed forever. 

US and North Korea Summit BACK ON - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

This development will be good PR for POTUS, even the hard left/liberal media have to be nice to him on this subject.  The President was on form today, he quoted the low unemployment figures, the first in 50 years.  This blog did not think this Summit would happen, well it is going to happen, one would not mind being a fly on the wall of the Summit room for this meeting between two egoistical and mercurial leaders.  Of course there are few days to go before the Summit, something could go wrong.  We are talking about Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un here, interesting days ahead.
