Re: Cooper's Amendment
Don't know of her or her position.
She sounds like a defensive midfielder.
Desperate cheeky bid as the deadline looms?

Re: Cooper's Amendment
As i keep saying hardly anyone including me actually wants no deal.
If the Cooper amendment gets through it undermines this country's chances of getting an acceptable deal.

It gives businesses like my own some certainty. It also stops those idiots in the govt from crashing the UK out of the EU by accident. I've spent the last 20 years working my balls off - so I'm going to welcome anything that gets us through Brexit without throwing ourselves to the mercy of the WTO.summitclaret wrote:If the Cooper amendment gets through it undermines this country's chances of getting an acceptable deal.

Re: Cooper's Amendment
Hell will freeze over before Julie Cooper votes against the party whip, despite her voting against Corbyn in the Labour no confidence motion in 2016, which he lost 172 - 40 ....summitclaret wrote:It's whipped she will be for it. She is taking a big risk. 67/33% for leave.
Which rather begs the question, " Why should we vote for you, Julie Cooper, when indirectly, it's a vote to put a man in whom you have no confidence into 10 Downing St, and Dianne Abbott in charge of domestic security ? "

Re: Cooper's Amendment
Spelman /Dromey amendment is carried narrowly but this one isn't binding on the government,and of course Graham Brady's amendment is passed also.
Whether the PM can get any movement from the EU 27 on the backstop is doubtful though.

She will do whatever jezza tells her to do. And she SHOUKD be representing her constituents, not pandering to her bosses wishes. WE voted her our MP, not him.

If you want to play the constituencies game, approximately 420 constituencies voted to Leave.

Re: Cooper's Amendment
Indeed, although it wasn't me that brought constituencies up. Why didn't you quote the original post?

It's almost like the people complaining about it have some kind of agenda.

I don't remember reading in the Bible that Jesus had asked one of his disciples to take his " Speeding fine " for him, whilst he was doing 43 in a 30 limit, down the Jerusulem " By-Pass " in a Nissan Micra, especially when he was in Russia at the time !!

There was this whole big thing called the referendum and people had to do their voting on purpose.
Then after that Parliament voted to leave the EU come rain or shine no later than 29th March 2019. This was also done on purpose.
Hope this clears things up.

Re: Cooper's Amendment
Have MPs no idea about negotiations. Wat side goes into negotiations declaring their hand. Knowing our position that we won't acept no deal and Europe want us in not out, what king of improved deal do they think we will get now?
Imagine the NUM under Gormley going into negotiations in the 70's with a starting point that "no matter what, we are not going to ballot our members for strike action."
" Now then NCB what are you going to offer us?"

Rowls
Have you heard anything from the French authorities about might happen in the event of a "No Deal"? (Regarding your own status)
Sneaky admiration for the ERG here it has to be said. They have managed to convince enough remainer leaning Conservative MPs that not only do unicorns exist, but that the "No Deal" scenario won't happen. That would have required some proper bare faced lying which they are clearly comfortable with.
If there are items that are non-perishable, and that you really cannot do withoout, then I'd be starting to make sure you have a supply stockpiled in your house to be honest.
The government and the MPs are threatening the EU with a "No DEal" we are not ready for, and after yesterday we lack the parliamentary will to stop it.

Re: Cooper's Amendment
I've nothing but admiration for the way the Conservative party have handled the whole Europe scenario over the last 2 decades.
Keeping the debate open and even giving the great unwashed a chance to vote on it. And above all putting the country's future well above any matters of self-interest. So much better than anything that self-serving monster Corbyn would offer. No way I'd trust him with the European question.

Re: Cooper's Amendment
And of course, the highlight of that being trying to restart the negotiations 57 days before we leave.
That takes some level of incompetence that even Diane Abbot couldn't come close to matching.

Re: Cooper's Amendment
Remainers can blame themselves for the no deal that we are about to leave with.
Should of just let everyone get on with leaving instead of holding up the process with demands for another vote, and taking no deal of the table. Credit too for Gina Miller for enshrining the leave date into law.
Well done guys. I hope your all proud

You really think Gina Miller enshrined the date in law? You really think ‘demands for another vote’ have held things up (it’s had no debate in parliament as far as I know). Who was it that delayed talks by months by holding a general election? Who was it that held up the ‘meaningful vote’ by a month because she thought she was going to lose, only to lose anyway?Damo wrote:Remainers can blame themselves for the no deal that we are about to leave with.
