    Noone is blaming you - just asking for the link to the reports that you reference. However, the constant prevarication does rather suggest these reports don't exist (yet). Similar I suggest to Boris Johnson tweeting that he had just voted in the Local election - when he hadn't because he couldn't. A casual lie. something that doesn't seem to trouble him too much. (And some people think he is PM material !)
    In passsing, TM gave senior cabinet positions to 3 ardent Brexiteers. What did they achieve ? Nothing! You might think that would teach us all something about leaving the EU. Sadly, it would appear not.
    I do find it bizarre that anyone on these forums takes you seriously, or affords you respect, considering you treat everyone else with no respect. Perhaps we should all accept that you are a perfect example of an extreme Brexiteer - and draw our own conclusions accordingly.

    Describing an article by 'The Institute for government' as a parliamentary report is clearly delusional.
    For the benefit of anyone confused by the description, The Institute for Government is.... (from its own website)

    "The Institute is a registered charity in England and Wales (No.1123926) with cross-party governance. Our main funder is the Gatsby Charitable Foundation, one of the Sainsbury Family Charitable Trusts. "
    The 'report' is written by a single researcher (?) barely out of school. Make of it what you will, but one thing it isn't is a parliamentary report.

    Thanks for clearing that up Bodbo - so we know that SH has either been telling porkies again, or judged an article from the first sentence without researching it first.

    I've just read the article... acceptable for a freshman university essay I suppose, not really up to much as a "parliamentary report" (not that it's anything of the sort) - quorn dressed up as wagyu beef by SH. Pitiful.

    No wonder there was no sight of a new parliamentary report, because there wasn't one, but that passed SH by.
    I am afraid the author didn't take another possibility into account. Whoever is the new leader will have to go to the Palace and inform the Queen that he or she can form a government. If it is someone who is in favour of a no deal, then it only takes half a dozen Tory MPs to say they will not support him/her, and because the existing government is in a minority, that person would be unable to form a new administration. This probably would not be tested until Parliament returns in September.

    Just back from Spain. The article was a report on parliament giving clear reasons why parliament would struggle to prevent a no deal Brexit if that was acceptable to the new Tory government.
    Others are now basically saying the same thing. Those that ruled a no deal Brexit out were living more in hope than reality.

    But a major percentage of your parliamentary party don't want it. .Plus It has to be ratified by Parliament.. So no chance..

    That is not what an increasing number of knowledgeable political commentators are saying. Swapping remainer May for a Brexiteer PM is a game changer. We shall see.

    The politics are the same regardless.. And parliament has a) voted against a no deal Brexit
    b)
    voted to have the right to ratify any deal.

  18. It's an utter mess Yorkie. At some point the EU is surely going to refuse an extension. Parliament would say we can't leave without a deal so aside from revoking article 50 (which might not get voted through) I have no idea where that leaves us.

    Leaving without a deal is the legal default position. There is no legislation currently in parliament to prevent this.

    But Parliament has voted.. If the new PM ignored this s/he would cement the splits and there is no majority for anything then.
