She doesn't have a position, meanwhile labour creeps towards a vote on a second referendum

Worth a look/laugh.

Who votes for the head of the WTO?, we need to make sure it is democratic and accountable after all.

It also looks like Jim Grace is dispelling a lotta these myths that were bandied about by brexit "chancers" like Farage, Fox, Mogg and Johnson re EU laws being "forced upon us"!! That always was a load of tosh!!

It's all about de-regulation and tax avoidance, the no deal crew have been waiting for years to get their chance for this as have trumps pals. They are not going to let it go easy.

Its going to be working class people in the north and midlands who bear the brunt of it.

Aye! While hopefully Scotland finally breaks away from this "precious Union" that Mrs Windrush has consistently and mockingly "flung in our direction", compliments of the many Scots who stupidly voted against our independence in 2014!!! So wonderful to be an "equal partner" in this Union of equals eh!!! F###### shit and dictated to by a bunch of disrespectful Tory shits who we never significantly vote for up here !!

Barnier is sending a clear message to Parliament today to hold indicative votes quickly and decide what the hell will pass Parliament, and then the EU will extend A50 and go for whatever reasonable end point the EU can agree to that will allow legislation to pass. They clearly have had enough of this shit and who can blame them?

Mays ludicrous red lines (mostly established to keep herself in power) are the obstacle to any agreement here. Is she going to move or chuck us over a cliff ?

This is a good Guardian article that covers Dyson's HQ relocation to Singapore and how it ties in with many other companies who are "guarding" against the worst effects of brexit by becoming a "global company"!
Meanwhile I notice Nicola Sturgeon had a quick visit to No10 and reminding the PM that Scot Indy is still a fall back position for Scotland but exiting Downing with tge same words that May's intransigence means no progress!!

What's most important to you?

1. Stopping Brexit
2. Getting rid of the Tories
3. Scottish independence

Scottish independence potentially gets rid of the other two if the Scottish population could only demand its sovereign right to become independent and f### the idea of asking permission of a corrupt British govt that keeps shamelessly preaching out of date unionism! Therefore it is the most important in the eyes of millions of Scottish voters whether brexit happens or not.

Even if you had Scottish independence, you would still have Scottish Tories, unless you become a one party state which is very bad.
