The DUP and May's Brexit Plan - Brexit Update 4 - Post Brexit

Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports in its 9.28pm post the following, " While Theresa May’s position appears to have melted a little tonight, the DUP has not reacted positively to an extension of the transition period, not because they are ideologically opposed to that but because it does not address the issue of the border in the Irish sea, they say.  "

Lets Get Real:

As can be seen by the right wing papers they are opposed to an extension of the transition period, one can assume that members of the Cabinet will also be opposed to any more concessions.  The FACT is that the PM will face a CHOICE, sooner or later, there is only so much road let, will there be a deal or NO DEAL.   The PM should pick the no deal option.  Otherwise she might find that she is out of the office and out of power. 

Hard Brexit Supporters backlash to transition extension - Brexit Update 3 - Post Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " May faces furious backlash over claims she could extend Brexit transition for ANOTHER year after EU leaders dismiss her plea for compromise and DITCH plans for crunch summit to strike deal next month "

Lets Get Real:

Thus us news junkies could face another eight weeks of Brexit talks, if that does not send you to sleep nothing will.   The PM will need to keep her Cabinet together, find some kind of words that work for the Cabinet, the House of Commons, the EU and the Republic of Ireland.   The two sides want different things, the EU wants to punish the UK for leaving their beloved EU while the UK wants the benefits of the EU while not being in the EU.   One would think that the highly paid diplomats would have gotten some idea on how to do this,  after all this is THEIR job.   As stated the blog wants the PM to pull the plug on the EU, why is she keeping trying, there is no good solution. 

No EU Summit in November - Brexit Update 2 - Post Brexit

Sky News: Reports via Twitter in its 9.48pm post the following, " NEW: EU Source: “not enough progress”... “For now EU27 is not planning to organise an extraordinary summit on Brexit in November” "

Lets Get Real:

From Sky News reporting it seems we are heading for a Summit in December, as the EU Brexit team needs more than just a couple of weeks. This is the EU and the UK pushing the problem down the road in till the New Year. Those in Parliament will think that they are being pushed to agree to any agreement that comes down the road, there will be no time for real debate on the issues. Thus you can expect more problems for the UK Government when it comes to the HARD BREXIT SUPPORTERS and the HARD REMAINERS. These endless talks almost seem drive to drive you nuts!!!

The Anti Climax of the EU Summit - Update - Post Brexit

BBC News: Reports " "Intensive" work is needed to overcome differences on the Irish border and reach a Brexit deal, Theresa May says.  "

Lets Get Real:

This last few days were meant to see the end of the Brexit talks, today was the day that the EU was meant to green light a Summit in November, that might still happen, but more to agree a road map for the prospect of a NO DEAL.    This Brexit junkie is lucky that he has a psychologist and medicated tablets, how the news reporters cope with sudden surge and then nothing at the end, it must be depressing.   This blogger has suggested that the PM just say it's going to be a NO DEAL and give the money that was going to the EU to the NHS.   It is time to show Europe that we do not need them, they need us more than we need them, God help the Eastern European Countries if Russia makes a move, do they expect help from the French. 

The Backstop of the Backstop ? - Brexit Update 4 - Post Brexit

Guardian: Reports " This is the idea, being briefed by UK government sources on Monday, that Brussels is said to be seeking if it agrees to a UK-wide backstop. This would be a secondary guarantee, covering just Northern Ireland, if the first incarnation fails.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog never tends to praise the Guardian, but on this one subject it must be applauded, in article it explains the backstop of the backstop in a clear manner and the political problems with the issue.   The UK Government under PM May needs the DUP to stay in power, thus it can not give way, and even then if there is an agreement the PM would need to get the hard remainers and hard brexit supporters on board, not an easy task.   The Chief Whip will have to put his phone on and use the dark arts of the House of Cards ( UK version ) to make sure the MPs are whipped in to the right voting area.   The prize of Brexit must not be LOST, hard Brexit supporters should give  a little, the prize is the UK out of the EU. 

PM May and the House of Commons - Brexit Update 3 - Post Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " Theresa May launched a desperate bid to win over EU leaders tonight as she warned there will be no Brexit deal unless Brussels drops its Irish border demands.  "

Lets Get Real:

The PM should place pressure on the Eastern European Countries, remind them who will they for help should they come under attack from Putin's Russia.   The EU will talk but will do nothing to defend Eastern Europe, do you trust the French to come to your military assistance, or the Italians, it will be the US and the UK that would be needed to defend the Eastern European Countries in Eastern Europe.   Also the PM should make it VERY CLEAR that we will remember who was with us when we needed it, this is a crisis point, a real one, also the PM should make clear that will will not give 1 pence to the EU if they play games.   Do you see the French giving money to anyone, the German taxpayer is tired of being the Bank for the EU, thus the recent loses by the German Government.   This is the time to play hardball, very hardball, 2nd does not count. 

Brexit Update 2 - Post Brexit

Sky News: Reports via Twitter at 4.35pm the following, " May assailed from all sides in Commons. Tory Remainers & Brexiteers warning they’ll will vote her down. On both sides, repeated questioning for People’s Vote/extension Article 50. Only thing she could get thru is remaining in Customs Union. But that would destroy her party & her "

Lets Get Real:

The PM must be wondering why she wanted to become PM, all her routes out of the EU problems costs her, if she allows Northern Ireland to be treated differently that the rest of the UK then she loses the DUP, if she does not set a deadline for when the UK cuts official ties with the EU she loses the hard remainers and hard brexit supporters. In harsh political terms, the PM is up the Creek, the EU either do not understand or no not care that their manner could lead to a no deal result. The PM has to be tough, she should go for a NO DEAL and force her small hard remainers to bring the Government or go to the Country and sell a no deal plan. When the sharks are after you and they smell blood in the water it is better to get on to the biggest boat you can and wack them back if you have too, ( real sharks get to much bad press, I blame Jaws ) Political time is running out for the PM and the Government.
