Things that are happening because of the Brexit failure:

Nissan has broken its commitment to make a new car in Sunderland, Yorkshire. Warehouses are stocked to capacity with food, and the BBC are considering a move to Brussels, as they need an EU base to broadcast in Europe and the British Government talking about evacuating the Queen because of potential "unrest". They didn't even evacuate the Queen during the Blitz.

I've seen some news sources saying they government is looking into using the Civil Contingencies Act to impose basically martial law and use the Army to quell any disorder but I just can't imagine will get that bad hopefully its just scaremongering.

I suppose deep down inside she (as most of them) know it's dumb.

But as far as her conduct goes, she's done nothing but sing the Brexit tune.

Which is what the referendum dictated she do.

Look I realize you lefties aren’t big on accepting votes that don’t turn out the way you expect them to but if you aren’t going to honor the vote then don’t waste time voting.

Theresa's big gamble: PM reveals a final vote on her Brexit plan could be delayed until just 17 DAYS before Britain is due to leave the EU as she rejects calls to rule out No Deal

Theresa May embarked on a high-stakes gamble last night after revealing a final vote on her Brexit plan could be delayed until just 17 days before Britain is due to leave the European Union.

Defying Cabinet calls to delay departure and take No Deal ‘off the table’, the Prime Minister appealed to Remainer ministers for another fortnight to win concessions from Brussels.

Mrs May said she was making progress in talks but not enough to hold a second ‘meaningful vote’ this week. Instead she set a new deadline of March 12 to win approval of a plan that suffered a shattering Commons defeat last month.

This means pro-Remain ministers will now have to decide whether to follow through with threats to defy Mrs May and vote for a backbench bid on Wednesday to postpone the Brexit date.

If the backbench motion is passed, Mrs May would have until March 13 to get her plan through Parliament or be forced to seek a delay in the process.

That would set up a showdown on March 12 when Eurosceptics could be asked to back a deal they dislike or face the possibility of Parliament forcing a postponement of Brexit the following day.

And last night it emerged that the EU may insist that Brexit is delayed until the start of 2021 if the UK requests an extension of Article 50.

What could possibly go wrong?

I suspect even then she'll have obtained few, if any, meaningful changes to her EU deal.

May Caves to Remainer Threats and Paves Way to Delaying Brexit, Stopping Clean Break

Prime Minister Theresa May has paved the way for Europhile MPs to stop the UK leaving the EU in a clean break and to delay the Brexit date.

Mrs May has said that should the House of Commons not back her Withdrawal Agreement in the second ‘meaningful vote’ scheduled for March 12th, she will allow MPs in the Remain-dominated lower house of Parliament to vote on whether it backs the UK leaving the EU without a deal — an already-agreed legal default position if London does not come to a deal with the Brussels by March 29th.

The prime minister also said that should the House vote down her bill and later vote against leaving without a deal, Parliament will be asked to vote on a “short” extension to Article 50, the legal mechanism for leaving the EU.

“So the UK will only leave without a deal on the 29th of March if there is explicit consent in the House for that outcome.

“Third, if the House, having rejected leaving with the deal negotiated with the EU, then rejects leaving on the 29th of March without a Withdrawal Agreement and future framework, the government will by the 14th of March bring forth a motion on whether Parliament wants to seek a short, limited extension to Article 50, and if the House votes for an extension, seek to agree that extension approved by the House with the EU and bring forward the necessary legislation to change the exit date commensurate with that extension” to a date estimated to be mid-June.
