Brexit could be delayed until 2021, EU sources reveal

[meridian]

I think JC has just made himself and the Labour party unelectable, the labour heartlands were in general the biggest supporters of leave and still are.

Do you look anything up before you type, or just hope that nobody else does?

How the United Kingdom voted on Thursday... and why - Lord Ashcroft Polls

Nearly two thirds of Labour and SNP voters (63% and 64%), seven in ten Liberal Democrats and three quarters of Greens, voted to remain.

We've been through this before. It's difficult for them to understand that Labour voters voted differently from voters in constituencies that returned a Labour MP. 1

Yes and we all know how accurate polls have been in the past don't we. Especially ones that are based on less than 0.02% of the UK population. Even the results would suggest a contradiction. He suggests that the majority of those voting leave were unemployed (more than likely to be labour supporters) and yet suggests that the majority of labour supporters voted to remain. Common-sense suggests that no all is right with the results of this poll.

Fine. Use whatever method you like, including making it up, if you want.

No point trying to debate anything in that case.

Now I see why you think making things up is a valid form of debate.

And what does your MP want - the one for the constituency you chose to live in. What is their own opinion on what should be done - not their party's, after all, the referendum was not a party vote.

Edward Leigh Q to Prime Minister on 26th November 2018

"If it is indeed true that both the Government and the European Union believe that this backstop will be temporary, will the Prime Minister take an opportunity before the meaningful vote, or indeed accept an amendment to the meaningful vote, to make it absolutely clear that if, by the end of the due date of this Parliament, we are still held in this backstop and still held in customs arrangements against our will, she will abrogate those parts of the treaty and restore our national sovereignty?"
