The DUP and the UK - EU Deal - Brexit Update 4 - Post Brexit

Guardian - Live Reporting: Reports in its 9.37pm post the following, " The DUP’s leader, Arlene Foster, has given perhaps the clearest indicaton yet that her party is unwilling to give Theresa May the votes she may require to get her deal through Parliament.  "

Lets Get Real:

The next few hours and days could be crucial for the PM, if the numbers in the House of Commons does not look good then PM May might find that she is forced out of office.   The PM has to sell the deal to the Cabinet, the House of Commons and the Country, the deal has to look like we are leaving the EU not become its colony, this decision could break the Conservative Party.   The Cabinet should have a hard look over the issue over night, do they support the PM or break her, that is the choice.   This is the biggest political decision since World War 2, it has to be gotten right. 

The Reaction to the UK - EU Deal Part 2 - Brexit Update 3 - Post Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " Boris Johnson calls on ministers to RESIGN tonight over May's Brexit plan warning it will turn Britain into a 'vassal state' as the PM dramatically summons her Cabinet one by one to sign off on the deal "

Lets Get Real:

It will be interesting to see what the reaction is from the right wing press, such as the Daily Mail and the The Sun to the Brexit deal, if they support it then some Brexit MPs will follow their lead, on the other hand if they say NO, it could be time for the moving men to start taking Mrs May stuff out of No 10.   One hopes that the PM is better at one to one talks than she is at giving speeches, needs to be very good to get the Cabinet support her and for there to be no resignations or a limited amount.  Interesting few hours ahead for the PM and the Country. 

The Reaction to the UK - EU Deal - Brexit Update 2 - Post Brexit

Sky News - Live Reporting: Reports in its 8.20pm post via Twitter the following from David Davis, the former Brexit Secretary, " This is the moment of truth. This is the fork in the road. Do we pursue a future as an independent nation or accept EU domination, imprisonment in the customs union and 2nd class status. Cabinet and all Conservative MPs should stand up, be counted and say no to this capitulation. "

Lets Get Real:

As noted in previous post the reaction to the agreed deal is not good, can the PM keep her Cabinet together, will the hard brexit supporters in the Cabinet support the deal, and will they sell it to Conservative MPs. The PM will face problems should many Cabinet Ministers resign. It will be interesting to see how Labour MPs react to the deal, will they support the Government when it comes to a vote or will they obey the Party line to oppose the deal. One can expect the papers tomorrow to be full of review and predictions. The Conservative Chief will have COUNT the votes and place pressure on MPs, AT the moment the Whip does not have a great job.

UK - EU Deal Agreed - Brexit Update - Post Brexit

BBC News: Reports " UK and EU officials have agreed the draft text of a Brexit agreement after months of negotiations in Brussels.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus a finally an agreement has been agreed by the UK and the EU.   The reaction thus far has not been good, the hard brexit supporters say they will oppose, the same for Labour.   The details of the agreement have not come out, thus as stated this blog will not make a comment in till the full draft is OUT, it should leak overnight.    As stated this blog wants to see the UK out of the EU in March 2019, out of the customs union and the single market, the ECJ should no longer have power over UK Courts.  The Houses of Parliament should be sovereign again, the UK should not be tied to the EU for more than is needed.   Northern Ireland should not be seen as different than other parts of the UK.
