The Elite Left and Brexit - Post Brexit

Guardian: Reports on the motion before the House of Commons on Thursday,  "  It supports frictionless post-Brexit trade borders for manufacturers and it insists on continuing alignments across the Irish border. It is moved by the backbench liaison committee of select committee chairs, so it has backing from senior parliamentarians from Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish National party. The outcome must send an unequivocal message that we have reached make your mind up time.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog hatest the fact that it is on the same page as the left.  The House of Commons on Thursday has to be clear that the UK Government has to change its mind.  The Government should support staying within the Customs Union and the  Single Market, that allows for a general election that prevents a PM Corbyn from taking over vast areas of the economy.   At the next general election the Conservative Party can go for a clear break with the the EU, then it will be a fight between the Conservatives and the pro Europe Party of Corbyn.  The result will be interesting on Thursday. 

Customs Union Update - Post Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " May faces claims she is DUCKING crucial decisions on Brexit amid Cabinet fears she wants to fudge red line on quitting the customs union  "

Lets Get Real:

The PM should be firm with the hard Brexit supporters, they have to worry about a future Corbyn Government, the Conservatives should support the UK staying within the Customs Union and the Single Market, that is the next problem that the May Government will face. The Labour Party and the Liberal Democrats will support the UK staying in the Customs Union and the Single Market, if the PM was brave she would take on the HARD Brexit supporters, the UK should come first, the Political Party comes 2nd. 

The Special Relationship, The US and France - Trump Era

Sky News: Reports " Donald Trump hailed the "great relationship" he has with French President Emmanuel Macron and insisted their friendship was "not fake news" as talks got under way in Washington.  "

Lets Get Real:

This development of a close relationship between the US and France will not go down well in London.   When the US has a troubling problem it is normally that the UK gets called, the idea that Paris would be the first call of a US President is a worry.  The Trump Oval wants the respect of other Countries, it should be noted that Trump has had a State visit to France, but not London so far, this is troubling.   The left wing media in the UK hates Trump, when POTUS does come to London there will be protests from the left, the UK Government can not shut down democratic protests, its part our democracy.   The French should be worried, they might get to close to the Sun, and then you are in free fall. 

Iran in the Frame - Trump Era

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump has warned Iran of "big problems" if it resumes the nuclear programme it agreed to curb in a 2015 international accord. "

Lets Get Real:

The Trump Oval might be making threats over Iran because its threat over North Korea lead to North Korea making concessions, they have suspended their nuclear plans, and Trump is expected to meet the leader of North Korea in a few months.  POTUS might think that because his threats worked over North Korea then Iran will fold.   Let's be clear, POTUS wants to undermine the Obama legacy, and the Iran deal is a major part of that legacy, either way he wants concessions from Tehran, it can be postulated that Europe will place pressure on Iran to give a few concessions that might keep the US from breaking the Iran deal, the Trump Oval wants to make sure that Tehran never goes nuclear, and stops its terror actions in the Middle East.   The question is will Tehran budge, or will the Regime take the risk that Trump is bluffing. It will be a mistake if Tehran thinks that POTUS is bluffing. 

Custom Union Debate - Update 3 - Post Brexit

Sky News: Reports " Customs union showdown is important - here's why..The PM's vow to leave the EU's trading bloc is a key plank of her Brexit plan, but she is coming under pressure to change tack.  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog seens Sky News as part of the pro remainers press elite, its slant is always anti Brexit, in this it is in the company of BBC News and the Guardian, The Times.  Over the weekend there was the report that PM May would not be unhappy if she was forced to stay in the Customs Union, this was given greater voice by the elite press establishment.   The UK voter has decided, it wants out of the EU, it does not want to be tied to the EU, EU freedom should mean that Brexit means Brexit.   The people have decided. 

Customs Union Debate - Update 2 - Post Brexit

Guardian: Reports " Downing Street rules out U-turn on customs union pledge..UK will leave single market and customs union, No 10 maintains, as MPs prepare for key debate  "

Lets Get Real:

IF the PM will not back down then the Government has to make the backbench motion a matter of confidence, make it clear that a vote against the Government could lead to a General Election.   The moaning remainers have to get the message, the THEIR future is down to them, do they want an early election that could see Jeremy Corbyn becoming PM and a left wing Government taking over large areas of the economy.   The Conservative Party Chief Whips needs to get his whip out, no MP is perfect, find their weakness and use it, this is about the survival of the Government, the only result that matters is winning. 

The Customs Union Debate - Post Brexit

Daily Mail: Reports " Hardline Brexiteers trying to force Theresa May to make vote on customs union a confidence issue to scare off Tory rebels  "

Lets Get Real:

This blog has changed its view of the UK staying within the Customs Union and the Single Market.  Anything that ties down a future Corbyn Government is to be welcomed by the Conservative Party, PM May should state that the Conservative Government will sign up to the customs union and the single market, that should get the Labour vote and the Liberal Democrats in the House of Commons.   Those hardline Brexiteers who want to make the symbolic vote next week a matter of confidence should be careful that they do not force a General Election that allows Corbyn in to No 10 Downing Street.   The Conservatives have to be smart.
