    This is the terror of rolling news- the fucking Viner Grauniad reporting Govt spin in quote marks as headline as if that makes it ok.

      May looks like she's found a tenner in her inside pocket and then realised it's one of the old ones.

        Can't link twitter cos I'm an eejit- but Tony Connelly of rte shows how optimistic UK spin is on this micro concession.

          Junker letter concludes by saying if we're not out before the European Parliament elections we're legally bound to take part in them.

            If the DUP swallow this maybes eyebrows Arlene survives as leader despite her cash fer ash difficulties. Difficult to see how Full Force Orange Bastards and conduits for dirty Scottish Tory/Russian/Arron Banks money like Dodds and Wilson can save face but.

              Rees-Mogg on Newsnight being his usual cunty fucking cunt self.

              Juncker is playing hardball now, telling the UK that any extension can't go beyond 23 May, unless the UK participates in parliamentary elections. Meanwhile Maybot is pissing in the wind with "legally binding" changes which add up to the sum total of fuck all.

                This is proper emperor's new clothes stuff, isn't it?

                As far as I can tell, there's a "legally binding" statement that Britain and the EU are going to negotiate their future trading relationship which is the "alternative to the backstop". Which is what the next two years were all along.

                And the EU not agreeing to the UK statement that the UK would try and leave the backstop agreement.

                    Is that Morph/Tommy from Rugrats looking presenter Cunt from Dragons Den/the Serious New Romantic haircut lady presenter actually doing anything to challenge the ERG narrative v reality?

                            Maitlis on Newsnight has just mentioned the "Canada Plus" deal.

                            THERE IS NO SUCH FUCKING THING AS CANADA PLUS. WHY IS THIS STILL A THING?

                                Evan Davies hasn't presented Newsnight for months now and Emily Maitlis is about as big a Remainer as you're likely to find. The ERG doesn't get an easy ride.

                                  because the BBC are in the pockets of the Conservative party. Next...

                                      There is something to be said for them having continued with the fundamental misrepresentations of material facts all the way through the process.

                                          See Maitlis referencing Canada Plus references above . Even "Remainers" in the UK (especially fucking telly) media are woefully ignorant of what is actually being discussed. Or at least feel obliged to give creedence to bullshit Leaver tropes. A fucking disservice to public service broadcasting, from the evil Kuenssberg down. Or they are at least supine and useless in the face of their fuck awful Sarah Sands/Robbie Gibb type editors. It is physically painful watching the BBC news or Newsnight from this side of the Oirish Sea.

                                          Fuck me RTE is rubbish in the main, but it's grown up news compared to the Brexit analysis youse get.

                                            I haven't even mentioned BBC Scotland who should all have a serious think about where they are going with their lives.

                                              Well, if we're talking about Newsnight, as we were, their presenters are Remainers to a man or woman, (not sure about Mark Urban but he rarely gets the gig). I mean, could it be, given how much you detest the ERG, that you don't believe they should appear on the programme or should be interrupted every few seconds? Did you think that Maitlis gave Clarke or Gethins a harder time than Rees-Mogg, because I certainly didn't? Frankly, the idea that Newsnight gives hard Brexiteers an easy ride is absolutely ludicrous.

                                                  NS, it would be easier to respond to posts like that if you put the gun down

                                                    Doesn't appear to me as though anything meaningful has changed, but as long as the Commons thinks it has, we'll happily keep schtum.
