    What's your take on the feel on the street? Seems to me a yes vote on May's plan is unlikely. But I'm half a world away.

      Its all Street acting, I already been to a Briefing ......can't say too much but VERY little will change the day after, rules will still be in place....."Business as before" is a term I kept seeing.

                  It just got real!

                  I haven't been a bit surprised by May's deal not working or any of that. But I am starting to be a bit surprised at how far she'll go to hold power and avoid another election.

                  The DUP will never be happy until there's a 10m high wall across the island with electric barbed wire and ramparts flying red hand and confederate flags with loudspeakers playing that famine song to the tune of Sloop John B. I mean, Paisley was such a nut the US revoked his visa and he's wasn't allowed in here since the 80s. And his honorary PhD from Bob Jones University that Billy Graham got him was enough for him to table teaching creationism and open a lost cause museum in Belfast. Cheap date. Ms. Cash for Ash ain't no better. Neither is Sri Lanken fun boy, a chip off the ol' block.

                  Long story short, all May did by surviving the no confidence vote was prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that she needs the DUP to keep her job. So these 10 MPs will continue to be the albatross around the neck of Blightly. No two ways about it.

                    she needs the dup to survive, no doubt. and the tories are petrified of a general election now, or in the foreseeable future. but her brexit problem is much bigger than just the dup.

                    i think her best strategy is to extend the negotiating period at least a year, and then wait until past this coming may when there will be european parliament elections which will likely reflect big change and big trouble in the eu. then she needs to bypass brussels and work in particular with merkel, who is getting major pressure from the german automakers, as well as other national leaders. the commission will likely be seriously weakened by the ep election. ignoring the commission is her best bet.

                          Corbyn just announced that he wants to take away the only negotiating position the UK has vis-a-vis the deal proposed by the EU.

                          I suppose this means he's caved in? Thought for a long time he was pro brexit himself...

                            he's boxing her in and at the same time preserving his neither fish nor fowl position on brexit.
