Just saw tweets of Diane Abbott saying to Sky News that Labour "don't take a view" on should Parliament vote on A50.
Fucking hell what is the point of you Labour

GBP is at $1.27. We back!
Is it over yet :-(
Labour tried to early to get rid of Corbyn. They'll have to wait until a terrible general election defeat until things can be shook up.
Maybe you can become new, new labour Jonathan?
So much for hoping for a pre-Christmas exchange rate bump.Case to last four days. Verdict expected in January.

With the way the press and media are behaving, Corbyn leaving it to the tories to stew in is the best option.
We are more likely to get a sensible outcome if the right doesn't have easy distractions like red jeremy thwarting the will of the people.
...Aren't the claimants already publicly known? Or is this to say newspapers can't start revealing 'extra' details like the Daily Mail did with the High Court judges?
It's just a shame this plan isn't by design.
If one of the claimants turns out to be a fencer, I swear...

I believe there are claimants from Northern Ireland and the Scottish/Welsh gov. that are now involved that weren't in the original case so it would be protecting them.

It suddenly dawned on me that while the individual heads of the devolved governments and parties are obvious enough, the individuals representing them probably aren't. Fair enough then, and good call.
So, who is winning the arguments so far?

Turns out that keeping your cards close to your chest doesn't really help when you're playing the house.
Im interested in all these terms that have been identified hard Brexit, soft Brexit, black Brexit, white Brexit, grey Brexit and actually what we should be looking for is a red, white and blue Brexit,
First, unity. Unity is the strength of the European Union. President Juncker and I are determined to preserve the unity and the interests of EU 27. This determination is shared by all governments.
Second, being in the European Union comes with rights and benefits. Third countries can never have the same rights and benefits since they are not subject to the same obligations.
Third, negotiations will not start before notification.
Fourth, the single market and its full freedoms, its four freedoms, are indivisible. Cherry picking is not an option.
Don't worry. Theresa May has come up with an equally concise and solid plan.

We could just start with actually defining Brexit, Theresa.Don't worry. Theresa May has come up with an equally concise and solid plan.

They've accepted it already, unfortunately. Everything else is sacrificed at the altar of no free movement.Not sure how many times the 4th point needs to be said for the penny drop for the leavers.
I'm starting to believe that Theresa May is much less competent than her Evil Sith persona made me believe at first.

Almost everything she spouts publicly about this process is seemingly designed to get roars of approval from the Daily Mail.I'm starting to believe that Theresa May is much less competent than her Evil Sith persona made me believe at first.

Can't wait for the SC to conclude we need Scottish consent and then for UKIP to campaign for Engxit from the Union.
Edit: and Wexit obviously.
we put too much value in the traditional appearance of competence rather than competence itself.
SNP will vote against triggering A50 anyhow if the government loses in the SC.Can't wait for the SC to conclude we need Scottish consent and then for UKIP to campaign for Engxit from the Union.

“I’m interested in all these terms that have been identified – hard Brexit, soft Brexit, black Brexit, white Brexit, grey Brexit – and actually what we should be looking for is a red, white and blue Brexit,”
For fucks sake.
Very quietly, Liam Fox admits the Brexit lie
"In order to minimise disruption to global trade as we leave the EU, over the coming period the government will prepare the necessary draft schedules which replicate as far as possible our current obligations."
It is a startling admission. The UK's extracted WTO schedules will "replicate as far as possible" it's current status. So we'll keep the special rule for oranges, even though we don't grow them. We will continue to protect a sugar process designed for Europe and continue failing to protect one used by one of our major companies, despite its years of lobbying to change the system.
In short, despite all the sound and the fury, despite all the attacks against immigrants and the threats against EU citizens in the UK, despite all the Brexit votes and the Richmond rebellions and the sudden change in this country's political dynamic, the government is not aiming to change anything of any substance. Britain will keep the exact EU tariff system which Brexiters for so long said was strangling it.
None of this will be mentioned by the Brexiters, of course. In public they puff out their chests and accuse critics of not believing in Britain and thumb their nose at their European counterparts. But in private, well away from prying eyes, they delicately and loyally replicate all of the EU's trading arrangements, just so they stand a chance of setting themselves up in a viable manner at the WTO.

Of course that plan never included here ascending to PM in one of the most challenging times in British political history.She presided over a series of mess ups at the Home Office. Just Call me Dave's unwillingness to sack folk (it interferes with the chillaxing) and the fact he saw her as a threat he could keep occupied with a challenging brief was the only real reason she remain in place. In terms of performance she was pretty much bang average.
