Could the US blockade North Korea ? - North Korean Crisis

Fox News: Reports " Ships carrying illicit cargo to North Korea can expect rough seas ahead due to a planned crackdown on sanctions violators initiated by the U.S. and its regional allies -- a move that potentially enhances tensions with the volatile Hermit Kingdom.  "

Lets Get Real:

The US has placed more sanctions on North Korea while the Winter Olympics was on, and the North did nothing, in fact they stated they were ready for talks with the US, could this move a blockade in many senses further push the North Koreans to talk to the West and STOP their path to the bomb.   Of course it will depend how througher the US are with the blockade, will they take ships that have illegal cargo for the North, such as oil.  How will the North react should the US prevent them getting oil for their missile plans.  Interesting developments in Asia. 

The Conservative Rebels - Brexit Update 4 - Post Brexit

Guardian  - Live Reporting: Reports in its 4.06pm post the following, " But Corbyn may have moved too soon. The government has signalled it will postpone the vote until after Easter, and this afternoon two of the Tories who signed the Soubry amendment played down suggestions they will actually vote for it.  "

Lets Get Real:

Time for the Conservative Party HQ to place pressure on the local Parties of the rebel MPs to bring them in line, the local party can always de - select an MP, the one thing that MPs fear is losing an election, or not being the official candidate of the Party.   Also the Chief Whip should be getting around to talking to these MPs, remind them about loyalty to the PM and Country and future job prospects or the lack of prospects.   As the weeks come by the Chief Whip should keep an eye on the rebel MPs, show the good things that can happen to an MP after he or she leaves the House of Commons, the Lords if they show loyalty or Governor of the BBC, there any many jobs that a ex MP would smile at, on the other hand if the MPs rebel, then they have to be kicked out of the Party and no honours.   No one said politics is fair!!

House of Commons BATTLE - Conservatives vs. Labour on Brexit - Brexit Update 3 - Post Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn set the stage for a titanic Commons showdown on Brexit today as he unveiled a dramatic policy shift.  "

Lets Get Real:

The BBC and Sky news both gave the Corbyn speech great coverage, they are part of the moaning remainers.   The Corbyn speech is pure illusion, the EU has made it clear that you have to accept their terms when it comes to a Customs Union and the single market, that means a new Labour Government could not take over large areas of the business sector in the UK, that would be seen as Government funding business and a threat to the other 27 States that make up the EU.   In many ways if you support business, it might be in the interest of the UK to be in a Customs Union, it would stop any new Corbyn Government from taking over business sectors, do Labour voters get that FACT, the interests of urban and country do differ.   Also will Labour supporters be happy that immigration would be the same, that Labour would reverse the Tory aim to cut down on immigration.  The PM makes a speech on Friday, a full week of brexit ahead. 

Labour REBEL over Labour Brexit - Brexit Update 2 - Post Brexit

Sky News: Reports " Jeremy Corbyn's customs union plan 'impossible to deliver'..A senior Brexiteer and Labour MP who could scupper a major win for the opposition suggests the plan amounts to "a mound of beans". "

Lets Get Real:

There are a few Labour rebels who could help the Government should it come to a vote on a customs Union, it does need to be a lot for the Government to win.  The Labour Leader has over promised, the EU it can be argued would reject even the Corbyn view of the Customs Union.  Jeremy Corbyn can talk all he likes, if the EU says No, that is it, the Labour Party would make the UK a rule taker or not rule maker.  It can be argued that Corbyn has been captured by the pro Remainers in his Party, they are fanatics, just as some in the Conservative Party, it will be a close vote in the House of Commons. 

The PROBLEM with Corbyn's Customs Union Speech - Brexit Update - Post Brexit

BBC News: Reports " Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has backed the UK being in a permanent customs union with the EU in a speech setting out his approach to Brexit. "

Lets Get Real:

There is flaw in Jeremy Corbyn's speech,  if he signs the UK to A Customs Union and Single Market he can not take vast sections of British business under Government control, it will be seen as the Government funding favoured business sectors.  Also the EU would have A VETO on the UK doing trade deals with other Countries.   The speech was made to make the Tory rebels support a motion that could bring the Government down.  The question is will the moaning remainers risk having a General Election and the chance that Corbyn could be handed the keys to No 10.   The right press should build pressure on these moaning rebels, if they want the Customs Union at any cost then the papers have the right to expose their vote for keeping the UK in the Customs Union and the EU.   The speech got good reviews from Sky and BBC News, both are in the camp of the remainers.
