Brexit Betrayed ? - Update 3 - Post Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " The government's White Paper revealed that key parts of the 1972 European Communities Act - a totemic piece of legislation for Eurosceptics - will need to be kept after the UK's former departure date next March.  "

Lets Get Real:

It can be argued with the above that the UK Brexit is in name only, what is the point of leaving if we have to accept EU law.   The Hard Brexit supporters should place 48 votes to the 1922 Committee to have a vote of confidence in the PM, it is better to fight that just to surrender to the EU.   PM May has let down the UK voter and the Cabinet, time for a new leader in the shape of Boris Johnson, the former Foreign Secretary.  

A Coup in Whitehall ? - Brexit Update 2 - Post Brexit

Sky News: Reports " 'Coup' claims as Theresa May sidelines Brexit Secretary Dominic Raab and boosts top official..The Brexit department will no longer be responsible for negotiating Brexit as the PM and her top official take charge of talks.  "

Lets Get Real:

It can be argued that the PM has been taken prisoner by the Civil Service, only a non politician would suggest the move.   The PM has to be careful, it only takes 48 letters for her to face a confidence vote by Conservative MPs.   The general view is that the PM has enough votes with Conservative MPs to get through, but a day is a long time in politics.  The Hard Brexit supporters will smell a rat, and decide enough is enough, and the soft Brexit supporters might think this there only chance of preventing a Brexit at all.   INTERESTING HOURS ahead for the PM.

UK PM takes charge of Brexit - Update - Post Brexit

BBC News: Reports " Theresa May is taking personal control of Brexit talks with the EU, with Dominic Raab deputising for her.  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a risky move by the PM, if there is no deal then she can only blame herself, the press will also blame her, the reason for having a Cabinet is that allows the PM to have some distance from day to day operations.   The PM can hardly fire her Deputy if there is no deal.   The hard Brexit supporters will see this move as another attempt to to have a SOFT Brexit.  In the next few weeks the job of the PM will be on the line, she better enjoy her holidays, there are tense weeks to go. 

Brexit - Update 2 - Post Brexit

Guardian: Reports " UK public will blame EU for no-deal Brexit, says Jeremy Hunt..New foreign secretary visits Berlin on his first overseas trip since replacing Boris Johnson  "

Lets Get Real:

It is good to see that the new Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt is tough with the EU, the former Remainer has become a Brexit supporter.   The EU has to understand, well Germany and France that the UK will not blink, we will walk away if there is no Brexit Deal.   The UK will keep its billions and invest that in the NHS and British trade.   The EU has to understand that they will be worse off, that the UK has gone through difficult times before, and will recover from any down turn in the economy.  The UK never gives up, ask the Germans and the French who have thought differently at different times that they were strong and better than the UK. 

Iran on President Trump and his threat - Update 2 - Middle East Crisis

Daily Mail: Reports " 'You wouldn't dare attack': Tehran goads 'passive' Trump and says he 'can't do a damn thing to Iran' after his all-caps warning to president Rouhani "

Lets Get Real:

Iran has to be very careful, they are not dealing with President Obama, the Iran nuclear deal was broken by President Trump and he has no time for any of Obama's policies, they are seen as appeasing Iran.   If the US did go to WAR with Iran it would be popular with the Trump base and would have the support of ISRAEL and SAUDI ARABIA, it would be a way for Trump to divert attention, a good War is always good for ratings, and the 24/7 news networks would have to cover it.   This blog has been very dismayed by how CNN covers POTUS, they are so anti Trump they are off the chart.  This could be a slow developing story or an accident that could set the sides at WAR. 

Trump WARNS Iran - Middle East Crisis

Sky News: Reports " Trump to Iran: 'Never, ever threaten' US again...Iran faces looming sanctions after Mr Trump's decision to pull out of a deal meant to stop Tehran from developing nuclear weapons.  "

Lets Get Real:

The above could be a tricky move by POTUS, he is under pressure over North Korea,  Russia and his personal life, so he wishes to divert attention to something else, thus this threat to Iran.  Of course the Trump White House has been building pressure on Iran, it's withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal and sanctions on Iran has showed that the Trump Oval is totally different to the Obama Oval.   Of course the question is there a chance of an accidental War between the two sides, that is always possible, Israel and Saudi Arabia would approve, the oil markets would go in to crazy mode. Time will tell. 

UK Foreign Secretary WARNS of Brexit by Accident - Update - Post Brexit

BBC News: Reports " Jeremy Hunt has warned that without a "change in approach from the EU negotiators", there is now a "very real risk of a Brexit no deal by accident". "

Lets Get Real:

It is about time the UK got tough with the EU, the UK has to make it clear that it is ready for a HARD BREXIT.  As the article notes the EU might think if it waits long enough then the UK will blink and make more concessions, the UK Foreign Secretary has made it clear that will not happen.   The May Government should warn business and the people that if the EU plays silly games then the UK will walk away with its money and fall on World Trade Rules.   This blog is supporting the UK staying in the Customs Union and Single Market, as long as it's on our terms, nothing less is acceptable to the UK voter.
