Good enough reason for me. Now we just need one more 'peaceful' demonstration to convince enough decent but wavering republicans to vote for it. That is not a given because American politicians lack principle as much as any other nationality and will vote against it because............................ Can anyone actually think of a good reason why America should run the risk of a re-run in 4 years time.
 
Fisheries minister did not read Brexit bill as she was busy at nativity!

There have been a lot of headlines this year that would be more at home in the Daily Mash than real life news.

See also people getting upset about ham sandwiches being confiscated as a direct result of something they’ve passionately demanded for years.
 
i'd be amazed if the Republicans don't want him impeached, either that or they'll have to have him run again in four years. If he runs as an independent he'd split their vote
 
Brexit going well isn't it.

I work with the MoD, specifically in their supply chain and this is having a genuine impact on our ability to get product to military units in the EU. Also importing product is now a nightmare, no one appears to know who is responsible for what.

I don't remember delays to vital military supplies being one of the benefits of Brexit.

It'll all be ok in 5 years though

We're only 2 weeks in! Surely even determined Remainers realise there'll be a period of adjustment after 40 odd years of EU membership?

But if the Republicans succeed in barring him, it will enrage his supporters and they may rally behind his successor. Perhaps son of Trump...

I can’t see the republicans appointing Don jnr or Eric, after impeaching their dad? Neither are good public speakers either, they’ll have to choose wisely as there will almost certainly be a third party pop up with a populist choice in the guise of Trump senior that’ll split their vote

We could have asked for a grace period and given businesses months rather than days to know what sort of Brexit they were having to adapt to. The whole having our cake and eating it thing doesn’t work as well if we have to starve for a while to get our cake.
