Brexit Update - Update 2 - Post Brexit

BBC News: Reports " Attempts to keep the UK in the European Economic Area after Brexit have been defeated in the House of Commons, amid a major Labour revolt over the issue.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Labour Party did the Conservatives a favour, as they were split, also they have a leader who is a secret hard Brexit supporter.   The Conservative won ALL the votes, even ones that are in the weeds when it comes to Brexit.  Of course the pro remainers in the Conservative Party will say that they have gotten a concession from the PM, that if there is no deal or the House of Commons rejects the deal the House of Commons has the final say, one can only hope NOW that there is deal. 

The Conservative Rebel to vote against the Government - Post Brexit

Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports in its 4.42pm post the following, " In the EU withdrawal bill debate Dominic Grieve, the Conservative former attorney general who lead yesterday’s “meaningful vote” rebellion, told MPs that he would be voting for the Lords amendment saying the UK should seek to remain in the EEA (European Economic Area)...He also said he would vote with Labour for the Lords amendment saying that if ministers want to water down rights using powers in the EU withdrawal bill, there should be enhanced scrutiny of the legislation in parliament.  "

Lets Get Real:

The above is the problem with the Conservative Party, there are two forces facing different ways, you have hard remainers who seem to be in love with the EU, while the hard Brexit supporters wish Europe would just go away.   The PM is trying to ride two horses who are going to different ways, the PM should make a choice, soft Brexit or hard Brexit, and make it a threat, if the factions won't go her way she will call a general election.  Even the Labour Party will support that, they could hardly say NO to a general election.  ONE does feel sorry for the PM. 

Trump in the Dock ? - Trump Era

Daily Mail: Reports " BREAKING NEWS: Former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen expected to cooperate with prosecutors and replace his lawyers as he tells friends he'll be arrested in a matter of days "

Lets Get Real:

Are we seeing the start of the end to the Trump Presidency, if the lawyer for POTUS is about to cooperate with prosecutors then POTUS might need to pardon himself, of course the Trump Oval has stated that it did nothing wrong when it comes to 2016 and Russia.   Let us recall that Nixon was bought down by a fifth rate burglary at the Watergate, while Bill Clinton impeached due to a blue dress.    The crime itself never gets you, it's the cover up that gets you in the end.   This is developing story, interesting days ahead. 

Brexit Latest - Update - Post Brexit

Sky News: Reports in its 4.10pm post the following, " We are NOT remaining in the customs union or single market...The prime minister's spokesman has disagreed with Ken Clarke's assessment that the government's amendment means it is legally bound to reproduce the customs union or single market. "

Lets Get Real:

The PM should support the UK staying in the Customs Union and Single Market, it would unite a majority of Conservatives and Labour MPs, the hard Brexit supporters would have nowhere to go, they could try to bring down PM May, but it can be argued that the PM is tough enough to withstand any backlash, as long as the UK leaves the EU in March 2019 most people would be quite happy for the UK to stay in the CU and SM, the Government can go to the next election with a pledge to leave both, and place the future in the hands of the voters. 

Donald Trump is FOOL over North Korea - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Donald Trump has declared that North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat, following his summit with Kim Jong-un.  "

Lets Get Real:

POTUS has been played by North Korea, the Trump Oval has allowed his ego to get out of control.   The North Koreans will play for time, they have gotten Trump to stop the War games with South Korea and to have a Summit with Kim Jong - un.  What is to stop North Korea restarting its nuclear process, will China really carry on with the sanctions, one has doubts.   The Trump Oval shafts the long term friends of the US and plays homage to the enemies of the US, from North Korea to Russia.  The Democrats should go after Trump over his North Korean policy, while the hawks in the Republican Party need to be critical of POTUS, Trump makes Carter look like a good President.
