Nothing to do with Brexit.

They could perhaps look at the way the EEC has evolved to see how a similar process would be applied to that.

It must be wrong though, seemingly we're still a full sovereign state, yet ghee fools claim
"... That comes prior to the drawing up of an act of Parliament called the Great Repeal Bill, intended to end the EU’s legal supremacy in the U.K. and restore sovereignty to Parliament."
 
Brexit pushes VTB’s Europe HQ out of London
Russian state-controlled bank is considering Frankfurt, Paris or Vienna for its European hub.

Russia’s VTB Bank has become the first big lender to publicly say it will move its European headquarters out of the UK because of the disruption expected to be caused by the country’s decision to leave the EU.

Unfortunately it's only a link to the FT. I'm too left wing to be able to access The Express website.

The carnage would be the PM's problem to deal with. She could just ride around the Commons on Pete's back screaming "Brext means Brexit you ****s" until they all agree to side with her.

As has been discussed, it's a matter of perogative. Gvt lawyers insist May has it as PM. The challenge says, 'no she doesn't, it belongs only to the queen and parliament'

Do I think it will halt Brexit? Highly unlikely, IMO. Could it delay it? Yes, very possibly.

As the article says, I can see this going to the Supreme Court.

But a delay of any length will cause more uncertainty and a lower pound, so better get out sooner and hopefully the markets will find its level.

You've previously stated that you don't care about a lower pound. Is it now dawning on you that you're gradually getting poorer and the Romanians are still living next door, stealing your jobs and benefits?

Personally, I think we should wait until after the GE's in France and Germany. There may well be changes of gvt, especially in France. It might also give the gvt time to think again on this 'hard Brexit' insanity.

Yeah we gave up our rights to decide on the straightness of a banana, and now we're back in control

Great times ahead

It'd get through the commons, it's the Lords where it'd be more likely to come off the rails.

Either way it'll take a year plus, and would give us the breathing space to take stock and see what happens in the German and French elections
