The House of Commons NEXT WEEK - Brexit Update 2 - Post Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " Rebels in retreat! Plot to delay Brexit may be halted to allow Theresa May even more time to negotiate with the EU "

Lets Get Real:

This could be a ploy by HARD REMAINERS to sneak an extension of Article 50.  The Conservative Chief Whips should have their eyes and ears open, the PM needs to place pressure on Hard Remainers within the Cabinet to stay, make it clear, once they are OUT, there is no coming back, when it's over its over.   Also the Conservative Chief Whips should be having talks with Labour MPs from Leaves Seats, remind them that the Government is willing to fund these poor areas, all politics is local, and the voters want to see their MPs bring home the bacon.   The PM has to be tough with the EU, if they STALL, make it clear that the UK will leave with No Deal.  The next few weeks are going to be very interesting, if you are a political geek.

PM May meets the Irish Prime Minister - Brexit Update 1 - Post Brexit

Sky News: Reports " Irish backstop talks not on the menu as PM dines with taoiseach...Leo Varadkar told Theresa May she would not get any progress on her border problem when they sat down to dinner on Friday. "

Lets Get Real:

It can be argued that both Sky News and BBC News are showing their true colours, they want to REMAIN and get a 2nd Brexit vote.  It is May bashing nearly ALL THE TIME and hardly any mention of the project fear that the Remainers used in 2016 and still lost the vote.  The PM has to keep to her strategy, take it down to the line.   Any talks with the EU always go down to the last minute.  The HARD BREXIT supporters should always recall that the PRIZE is OUT of the EU, so they must not seek 100% of what they want, once we are out of the EU we can get a Brexit PM and change any deals made by PM May.   The HARD REMAINERS will try to block Brexit NEXT WEEK.   The PM should consider sending Houses of Parliament in to recess and use the the Royal Prerogative to get any new rules set in place before the UK leaves the EU as planned on March 29th.   Any extension of Article 50 will be used by Remainers to thwart Brexit. 

2nd Woman Accuses Lt Governor Fairfax of Virginia of Sexual Assault - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " Meredith Watson alleges Lt Governor Justin Fairfax raped her in 2000 when they were both students at Duke University in North Carolina.  "

Lets Get Real:

This commentary is about the politics of the race and sexual scandals in Virginia, it does not give a  moral view of either three cases.

The Female Candidates running for the 2020 Democratic Presidential Nomination have called on Lt Governor Fairfax to resign.  The irony of this call is that should Fairfax resign the Governor with his own race scandal would appoint a new Deputy.  One can see the Lt Governor thinking, Bill Clinton was accused of sexual assault and he did not resign.   It is now a custom for people caught up in scandal NOT TO RESIGN, they play it out over the long term, rare exception was a recent Democratic Senator who resigned, due to pressure from his Democratic colleagues.   African American voters will ask if there is one rule for Bill Clinton but another for the Lt Governor, that would cause problems with the base of the Democratic Party, as the major players are African American voters and women.   The Trump Oval must be loving this, as long as the Governor, Lt Governor and the Attorney General stay in OFFICE in Virginia the President can point to the fact that the Democrats are in a glass house, not a wise idea to throw bricks about.
