Ominous outcomes...



et tu, Olly? Treason May's chief Brexit adviser, Olly Robbins, has warned her that the Northern Ireland 'backstop' in her deal is actually a "bad outcome". That could almost be repeated old news because the same thing was said back in April about a previous idea! Also there may be contempt of Parliament proceedings in the offing if she doesn't show the legal advice in full.

Even more trouble: President Trump was right, again, May’s deal with the EU would prevent a UK-US free trade agreement: a 'bombshell leak': "a confidential analysis of the Withdrawal Agreement by the House of Commons' own expert legal team comes to the same conclusion as President Trump": Brexit Central. Last week's report was leaked: The Withdrawal Agreement: Legal and Governance Aspects [PDF].

"Conservative MP Marcus Fysh... “This document identifies and explains many of the very serious legal problems for the UK that would emerge from the Prime Minister’s proposed Withdrawal Agreement"".

Indeed, not only that, "Theresa May's Brexit deal is illegal and must be stopped" [DT].

Unfortunately, other  previously decent 'Conservatives' have fallen by the wayside', Gove and Mordaunt this weekend adding to the boot-licker brigade putting party before country. The DT link was brought to my attention by Raedwald, who also has a better comment about Gove.
