Labour's Brexit Problem - After Brexit 3

Daily Mail: Reports " Corbyn ally John McDonnell leads revolt against Keir Starmer's decision to support Boris Johnson's 'rotten' Brexit trade deal as 'more than 20' Labour MPs prepare to defy their leader and vote against the accord "

Lets Get Real:

This is a brave move by Sir Keir, well brave and not, he wants win back the red wall seats in the 2024 general election and he has to show that he understands what these voters want, they want Brexit done and dusted.  The HARD LEFT, have still not gotten the fact that LABOUR lost big in 2019 because they were out of tune with their old voters, they see their future in City's and towns with Universities.  Thus the hard left has gone from attacking the EU to supporting it, while others who are not on the left want to re-join the EU and have the Euro as our currency.  One does wonder how long it will take for LABOUR MPs to get the message, the UK voted out in 2016 and 2019, respect the voter and they will vote for you. 

ERG and the Brexit Deal - After Brexit 2

Sky News: Reports " Brexit: European Research Group of Conservative MPs gives support for EU trade deal...The group's backing for the agreement provides a significant boost for Boris Johnson ahead of a House of Commons vote on the deal. "

Lets Get Real:

This confirms that the ERG will support the Brexit Deal, if they support it, then no real Brexit supporter can vote against it, of course there might be a few remainers still in the Conservative fold.  The real split will be in the Labour Party, there will be remainer MPs who afraid if they vote for the deal they could be ousted by their remain voters, also there might be a few Labour MPs who want a NO DEAL BREXIT, you never know.   How is Jeremy Corbyn going to vote, he has spent most of his life being in opposition to the EU, how about this deal, it will be interesting to see the voting record.  Thus on Friday the UK will be a sovereign nation again, it has taken decades but it will happen at 11 o clock UK time on Thursday, no Parties or drinks due to COVID - 19.

Our UK Sausages and the EU - After Brexit 1

BBC News: Reports " Raw sausages and other minced meats can no longer be exported to the EU from 1 January, according to new rules.  "

Lets Get Real

Just as the blog was about to get nice about the French and the EU, they ban our raw sausages, how about we return the favour and ban French wine, that would allow other Countries to develop their wine industry and have a ready market in the UK.  The UK expects the EU to play these kind of games, its almost like the TV series Yes Prime Minister, when Hacker gets the job after attacking the EU for banning English sausages. Thank goodness the UK is out of the horrid intuition, we are a sovereign nation again. What would Sir Humphrey say! 

The Politics of Brexit for the Conservatives and Labour Party - After Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " Michael Gove claims Brexit trade deal will leave UK fishermen in a 'stronger position' but industry chiefs blast they will be 'absolutely worse off' as Keir Starmer faces a Labour revolt over backing the accord and EU ambassadors begin approval process "

Lets Get Real:

The politics of this should be simple, the Conservatives have given the UK voter what they voted for in 2016 and 2019, the ERG has been very quiet so far as to their view of the Brexit Deal, it has been reported that they on the whole will back the deal, with a few eccentrics who want a NO DEAL BREXIT, bit late in the day for that, while the Labour Party has double trouble, the Labour Party on the whole supported staying in the EU, and thus their loss of the red wall in 2019.  The new leader, Sir Keir Starmer wants to be PM in 2024 or when the PM calls an election, and thus he is whipping his MPs to support the BREXIT DEAL.   Those MPs of remain Seats are in a difficult position, if they think they will lose their seat if they voted for the Deal then they might think better to oppose the deal, but if they do this and are part of the Shadow Cabinet or the front bench they will have to resign.   In the end BREXIT might cause more problems for Labour than the Conservatives, let's see what the ERG say today.
