No State of the Union - Trump Era


Lets Get Real:

One doubts that POTUS wants to go to a Democratic controlled House, but the FACT that the Democrats have called off a State of the Union could be thrown back in their faces, what if Trump does it from the Oval Office.   The Democrats should be careful not to overplay their hand, whatever one thinks of Trump he is the President of the United States, you have to respect the Office if not the man.   It will be interesting to see how POTUS reacts to this news, one can be sure CNN will be ALL over the story, of course taking the side of the Democrats.  This is just the start, once the Democrats start to investigate Trump, expect constant live hearings on the TV, the good news for Trump is the FACT that the Democrats do not control the Senate.   Fun times ahead in Washington. 

The Labour Mess - Brexit Update 3 - Post Brexit?


Lets Get Real:

The Labour Party in a way might just have given PM May more time, Corbyn does not want a 2nd Brexit vote, he sure has hell does not want to have to fake a belive in remaining in the EU.  The Hard Remainers within the Labour Party and the Conservative Party will be tearing their hair out, without Corbyn on board the PM can run down the clock.   UK Law states the the UK leaves the EU on March 29th, only an ACT of Parliament by change that, and only the Government can bring that in, in less the bias Speaker tries his underhanded tricks again.   The PM needs to talk to the EU, HARD LEAVERS within her own Party and the DUP, she has to stared down the HARD REMAINERS.   The PM has been called a bloody difficult woman, well its is time to show that, both to the EU and to the Speaker and the House of Commons. It should be noted that the PM can use the Queen, the Queen has to Assent to a new law, the PM  might advice the Throne not to sign any new law that thwarts Brexit.   That would be interesting. 

Labour's Confidence Vote - Brexit Update 2 - Post Brexit?

Sky News: Reports in its 3.42pm post the following, " DUP: We will back May to give her 'time and space'  "

Lets Get Real:

Sky and BBC News are covering every minute of this NON EVENT, the PM and the Government is going to WIN this vote, with the DUP on board and NO SANE Conservative going to vote against the PM, the debate is a bit stupid.   The one silver lining for the PM is that Jeremy Corbyn in his heart of hearts is a extreme Brexit supporter himself, he does not want a 2nd Brexit vote, no matter what his MPs want, Corbyn is trying to keep Remainers and Leavers happy, if he takes a side he loses one group.   The HARD REMAINERS on the represent urban areas, Northern MPs do not want to have to tell their voters why they went against the will of the people the first time.   Thus it can be postulated that Corbyn will try to avoid the issue as long as possible and will call more No Confidence votes, how long he can stand the pressure of the Hard Remainers will be interesting. 

The Latest Brexit News - Brexit Update 1 - Post Brexit?


Lets Get Real:

Thus the Government LOST in the House of Commons by 230 votes, THE BIGGEST defeat in House of Commons history.   The PM then did something tricky, she stated that the Government would set time aside for a no confidence votes from either the Official Opposition or other Parties.    The Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn had no choice but to call one, a bit pointless, in less some Remain Conservative MPs want to end their political careers by supporting the Labour.   It can be expected that ALL Conservative MPs will support the Government, if any are wobbly then the Chief Whip needs to call the Chairman/woman of the local Conservative Association, who will remind the MP that they need to be re-selected to fight in a General Election, that message should be send out to ALL HARD REMAIN MPs local Seats.   The PM has to be tough with the hard Remainers in the Cabinet, they have not been loyal, they should be TALKED to by the Chief Whip, and reminded what the PM gives she can take away.   The PM then should go to EU and state that she needs the backstop OUT, and that the UK should have a VETO over any new laws during the transition period.  Also the ECJ should have NO POWER over UK Courts.    IF the Hard Remainers do not play ball the PM should go the Country, and make it a vote between the PEOPLE vs. THE POLITICAL ELITE.   The next two weeks will be interesting to say the least.
