How are the UK and EU talks really going ? - Brexit Update 3 - Transitional Phase

Daily Mail: Reports " Michel Barnier says Brexit trade deal CAN still be done despite Boris Johnson branding the EU 'abusive' in bitter spat over UK plan to override divorce terms "

Lets Get Real:

While everyone is watching the House of Commons and the House of Lords the real fighting is at the UK/EU talks, thus far the EU has not walked away, thus there must be some chance of a deal.  The PM has gone in heavy with his Internal Market Bill, that might be enough to push the EU to make concessions, enough for the Brexit supporters to declare a victory and move on.  One really doe not understand why the EU is playing hardball, neither side is reality is going to break the Good Friday Agreement, its just war by words, the UK it can be argued should be able to find the right words to solve this problem!!

Internal Market Bill - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " Brexit: Boris Johnson partially climbs down on international law-breaking bill in face of Tory rebellion...Labour says it makes the situation "worse not better" ahead of the next big Commons showdown next week.  "

Lets Get Real:

Sky News really has become HARD REMAIN CENTRAL, there is breaking internatioanl law and breaking international law, the PM did not invade Poland as far as this blog knows, those harping on about it, are lawyers, who happen to be MPs, The Conservatives should think about limiting the number of lawyers that can become Conservative MPs, Countries first not their legal careers!!  The PM has given a concession, thus this expects ALL Conservative MPs to vote for the Internal Market Bill, if those MPs should lose the WHIP, and their local chairman/women should be informed that the MP is no longer a Conservative and can not stand as at the next election.

The Internal Market Bill and the House of Lords - Brexit 1 Update - Transitional Phase

 BBC News: Reports " Government plans to amend a controversial bill that overrides sections of the Brexit divorce deal have been rejected by former Tory leader Lord Howard.  "

Lets Get Real:

With the new compromise with the moderates in the House of Commons the Internal Market Bill should go to the House of Lords with a  good majority.  If the Lords refuse to play ball then PM should nominiate a 100 Brexit supporters to the benches, or how many it takes to remind the House of Lords of its place.  If the House of Commons is happy with the bill and is support the PM the House of Lords will have to move, of course it could be time to replace the House of Lords, the great British people will not cry if they are abolished.   Their Lordships get a heavy amount for turning up, well if the accept the money they should play ball. 

Internal Market Bill - Brexit Update 4 - Transitional Phase

Daily Mail: Reports " Is Boris going to back down on Brexit law? Signs PM will bow to Tory revolt after Michael Gove admits amendment that would guarantee Commons a vote on wrecking EU divorce deal first are 'is to something'  "

Lets Get Real:

This could be a good solution out to allow those to who oppose the UK breaking international law, to support the Government's bill while stating that they will have the final say.  It really depends how the Chief Whip reads the House of Commons and his fellow MPs and how many he can not not force to change their minds, the PM has the power to remove the whip from those that do not follow the Party line, that would mean that those MPs could no longer stand as Conservative MPs at the next election.  It is a drastic move but its a power that the PM has, interesting week ahead in the House of Commons.

Internal Market Bill and the House of Lords - Brexit Update 3 - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " Brexit: Peers warned not to block Internal Market Bill as UK branded 'despot' like North Korea...Despite the controversial legislation sailing through a key Commons hurdle, there may be more of a challenge in the Lords.  "

Lets Get Real:

The next problem for the Internal Market Bill will be next week when a Amendment till tie the Government to coming back to the House of Commons before a Minister can overrule the withdrawal agreement, but even then the Government might be able to push it through due to its big majority.  In the House of Lords the Government can use the Parliament Act of 1949, that states after a bit a tussle that House of Commons has the final say on ALL ACTS that it wants, their Lordships can be overruled.  One does hope by next week that Boris get a deal with the EU, it would be a shock for the UK to break international law.

Historic Change in the Middle East - US Presidential Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " Trump hails 'dawn of new Middle East' with UAE-Bahrain-Israel deals "

Lets Get Real:

This is an historic achievement by President Trump and will help with the Middle East, the problem is that POTUS can not keep his mouth shut and is prone to texting on all things, sometimes true, sometimes not.  A more standard President would use the above event to get a 2nd term, but Trump might have sunk his own ship with his rhetoric and his failure over COVID - 19.  All the match up polls show Biden is AHEAD by 7 to 8 points, as long as he doe not mess up in the debates we are looking forward to a first Biden Administration.  One doubts that the World can cope with a 2nd Trump term.

Internal Market Bill - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " Boris Johnson's Internal Market Bill to override parts of Brexit deal clears first Commons hurdle..Despite a Tory former cabinet minister warning of "incalculable damage to our reputation all around the world", MPs pass the bill. "

Lets Get Real:

The BBC's Newsnight and Sky have really become HARD REMAINERS centre, they go about international law, what about the Sovereign right of Northern Ireland to be seen as part of the UK, the various Acts of Union makes that clear, the HARD REMAINERS will try anything to thwart BREXIT, even coming up with bogus questions that feed back to their own views on BREXIT, and that being a negative.  The PM is right in forcing his Bill through Parliament, this will show the EU that the UK can not be bullied, that we are not some small nation that must bend the knee in front of the EU.   Good job today by the PM.
