Eyebrows Arlene, Sammy and Dodds, they had the chance to have NI become the richest part of the U.K., skyscrapers around the "Titanic Quarter" as they soaked up Britain's foreign investment in a differentiated Brexit, inside the SM and CU while racist island sank under May's evil mind. A really real economy outside mawkish tourism for a shit ship and fuckin Game of Thrones weirdos. But their instransigence meant the U.K. govt asking for the backstop that is now unacceptable. A border in the Irish Sea would be the best thing that ever happened to the stupid fucks the silly sash bastards.

Hunt laying groundwork for an "EU stabbed us in the back" narrative, with the rather comical line that not watering down the backstop that his own government agreed to would "inject poison into our relations for many years to come". As opposed to, you know, walking away from the EU and threatening not to pay what you owe.

Personally, I think a second referendum is pretty silly. But at least having it as party policy means that they're doing something.

Meanwhile, Geoffrey Cox has come up with a particularly bonkers wheeze: The backstop risked breaching protocol 1, article 3 of the convention, which protects the rights of people to vote in order to choose their legislature.
In what appeared to be a curve ball, Cox told the EU that Northern Irish citizens would be unrepresented in the EU’s decision-making institutions, including the European parliament, thereby diminishing their rights.

Love the clip of Will Self and Mark Francois. I mean it's meaningless and doesn;t make any difference, but it's still quite funny

Has the clamour for a referendum itself changed? Wasn't it a clamour for all right thinking people to try and find a mechanism to end this madness? And until Labour's position changed, the most obvious and visible part of the right-thinking-constituency - the official opposition - appeared to be doing nothing to end it. Now that it's Labour policy, there's no reason for a clamour to make it Labour policy.

The clamour for a second referendum has definitely disappeared. It's all about the extensions to A50 now.
And now, as if by magic, the ol' anti-semitism reappears. It's almost as if people are trying to keep the Party firefighting.

The key word there "appeared". Labour had backed a second referendum at the Conference last autumn - committing to it after all other options had been explored. Well, all other options got explored, so they threw their weight behind a second referendum, which apparently would see them romping ahead in the polls..

Things that can happen when your only aims for Brexit were to appeal to the far right of the Conservative Party
