May's Week on Brexit - Brexit Update - Post Brexit

Re: Last week was interesting, a few Cabinet Ministers resigned and few Ministers of State, but so far no confidence vote in the PM.   Thus the Conservative Party is stuck with a PM it really wants out, while facing the fact that the House of Commons will reject the Brexit Deal. 

Sky News: Reports " Under-fire Theresa May says she is 'determined' to see Brexit through..The PM says leaving was "never going to be easy or straightforward", but a deal "that will work for the UK" is within sight.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog likes to think it is VERY cynical when it comes to politics, but it does not see the political plan of the PM, she will not move and is facing defeat in the House of Commons.  Does she expect Labour to support the Brexit, thus far there is no indication of that, does the No 10 want the markets to tank after the first failed vote and then go for a second vote.  The PM is putting her job on the line for something that will not pass, it is like Lady Thatcher and the poll tax, ( this blog would put up a statue of Lady T is every part of the UK, a really big one in the mining areas of the South Wales Valleys ) even Lady T had to go at the end as the poll tax was a disaster.   What is No 10 up too? 

The Florida Senate Result - US Mid Terms - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Florida's outgoing Republican Governor Rick Scott has declared victory in a contested Senate race in the state.  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus the Republicans have 52 Seats in the Senate while the Democrats have 47, there is still one race outstanding.   This result means that the Republicans can push through Trump Judges and confirmations for the Cabinet.   The Republican Majority Leader will have to listen less to moderates in his ranks, even more so if the Republicans can add another Seats to their ranks.  The Republicans can expect the Democrats to try and impeach President Trump, this will NEVER happen as the Republican Senate will never convict, their voters would never support the idea.  The political fun starts next year, the Democrats have the House and the 2020 cycle starts.  

Doctor Who Review - Kerblam!

Doctor Who News: Reports " Doctor Who: Kerblam! was watched by 5.93 million viewers, a share of 28.5% of the total TV audience, according to unofficial overnight figures. "

Lets Get Real:

This was another great show from the Doctor Who Team. the story was fun, the Doctor got a present from an international store ( you do not have to be a Time Lord to work out who it was meant to be ) it was Fez, that does bring back happy memories!! the Doctor is still having problems with working the TARDIS, that is good, this takes back to the original format, as the TARDIS said itself, it did not take the Doctor were he/she wanted to go but were he/she was needed.   The Doctor landed the Tardis and started to investigate, she and her team become part of the workforce, the Doctor took some time to find the real threat, it was not the management or the computer system, it was ( spoiler ).  Below the surface there was a political message, that modern technology is pushing people out of work, but the action showed how dangerous and limited that thought was, ( spoiler ).   There was romance, the actress from Vanity Fair guest starred, but the relationship never got chance because ( spoiler ).   One critic of the new season is that the Doctor needs a romantic interest, male or female, it just added depth to the show.
