Any attempts by Remainer MPs to delay or obstruct #Brexit must be opposed. Today I have formally asked Polish Government to veto any motions by EU to allow extension of Article 50. We are leaving 11pm on March 29th as promised @StandUp4Brexit

Colluding with a foreign government, to potentially thwart the will of Parliament....there's a word for that, its right on the tip of my tongue....

Isn't that why you guys have Traitor's Gate?

Sadly, our rules about treason are as restrictive as yours, if not more so.

It is funny though, watching the Brexiteers screech about democracy, then undermining Parliament.  Rees-Mogg was arguing today that May should shut down Parliament for a few days to prevent legislation on preventing a No-Deal Brexit be debated and voted on.

Where is Oliver Cromwell, now that you finally need him?  Seriously.

Keir Starmer and Dominic Grieve are pretty poor replacements, even if I wish both of them would seize control of their respective parties in bloody coups.

...by how uniting which factions? At this point if you put 5 MP's in a room there's around 7 opinions on brexit and no more than 2 can concur on any of them. And half the other options are just unbearable to the other side. The next set of election manifestos are going to be stunningly non committal towards anything, even moreso than normal. And even less able to hold to anything in them.

Party politics is finally breaking down into its most pure form. The inability to accomplish exactly nothing, and then by doing so call it success. Seriously, people call May successful with a straight face. Helen Keller would have been able to achieve no deal and give a more charismatic speech in the process.

Money on Liberal/Conservative coalition 2, wherein one side promises the other something like a referendum that it never intends to hold? Can see odds on before march, it's stupid enough to happen.

I was being literal about a bloody coup. It's about the only chance Greive would have (Starmer is pretty clearly being groomed for a leadership role but Sadiq Khan is a more likely future candidate)

Brexit is now literally the moon from majora's mask.

Just got this from Pembrokeshire CC - don't know whether to laugh or cry, and horrormirth is so yesterday

New Look For Trade Event
Supplier to buyer
Gaelic Snails, Nitro Coffee, Gluten Free products and Irish Pork Scratchings provide an overseas flavour for next month's 'Supplier to Buyer' trade event.

The annual event, which is South West Wales's largest trade show for the tourism and hospitality sector takes place on Wednesday, February 6th, in its new location – The Parkhouse Building, Withybush Showground.

'Supplier to Buyer is a free, regional trade event aimed at the hospitality, leisure and tourism sectors, and is a jointly organised between Pembrokeshire County Council's Food Development Team and Pembrokeshire Tourism.

Over 60 exhibitors have already booked to attend including 11 from Ireland.

They have been invited as part of the Bucanier Project - BUCANIER (Building Clusters and Networks in Innovation Enterprise and Research).

The project aims to open up trading opportunities between Wales and Ireland and hopefully providing Welsh traders a chance to return to Ireland in the future.

"I am really excited and cannot wait to meet other Welsh businesses and I believe this will be the first step to build long lasting relationships with some Welsh partners,"said  Eva Milka from Gaelic Escargot

Her views are echoed by Matthew Brownie of The Skibbereen Food Company.

"Can't wait to meet our project partners Pembrokeshire County Council in Wales next month, and to showcase my snack products, to all buyers and distributor's at the supplier to buyer trade show," he said.

"I'm Excited to see new and latest food innovation from other producers in Wales."

"'Supplier to Buyer' is an ideal place to showcase your product range, or any new editions direct to the trade," said Pembrokeshire County Council's food development officer Joanne Welch.

"As in previous years there is an excellent array of producers attending that deliver first class, high quality produce and this is a great opportunity for the hospitality, tourism and retail sector to find out what products are available and where they are obtainable.

"Having our friends from the Bucanier Project, including those from across the Irish Sea attend, helps to make this year's event an incredible opportunity and provides added flavour. The event is all about opening up business opportunities and seeing those business links develop over time."

Liz Williams, Project Manager of Pembrokeshire Tourism agrees.

"We are delighted to join up with Pembrokeshire County Council's Food Development Team in bringing together this regional trade event once again.

"It is a great opportunity for hospitality businesses to find new products, and develop interesting offers for their visitors, many of whom are now keen to find something distinctive and local to the area, and of course the ranges available for those with dietary requirements are increasing all the time as well".

Bucanier is funded by the European Regional Development Fund through the Ireland Wales co-operation programme.

So wait.  This is the replacement for international trade in the post-Brexit economy?

Only if we can find enough privateers to smuggle the goods for us. And yes this is pretty much what constitutes international trade in my part of Wales for sure.  I was talking to a localish MP the other night and he reminded me that 60% of our Welsh products are exported to the EU and once you get past whats left of our steel production and the remnants of heavy industry,[Airbus wings and aero-engines, that sort of stuff] the balance of our exports is in agricultural produce, with increasing attempts to increase the value added sector. Most of these are small scale family businesses and they are predominantly supported by European structural funds. After Brexit it seems unlikely that there will be much international trade left. We will be scratching around looking for pennies down the back of the sofa, because WTO terms just aren't going to support trade at the same levels as we are currently used to.

Brady amendment passed.  May has to go back to the EU and negotiate on something the EU has said it won't negotiate on.

Time to stock up on tinned food, pasta, toilet paper and drugs.  No Deal just got even more likely.

Can't you guys just start beheading people?  That worked in the old days.

I ask this with a completely straight face.

Patience. That's how some of us are planning to feed ourselves after the no-deal thing goes through

[Cain]

I think we're going to do that after it matters, ie; March 30th.

Besides, we could vote all the Tories out tomorrow and that wouldn't change the fact that Corbyn's own idea is nearly as utopian in its idealism and equally unlikely to pass the EU's smell test.

48% of the country has been thrown under a bus, in that regard.

Today's Brexit roundup:

Up to a third of UK companies are looking to send some or all operations overseas in the event of a no deal Brexit.

Schools are being allowed to relax regulations on school provided lunches, to ensure that they can continue to provide meal in the event of a no deal Brexit.

NHS staff are being informed that preparations are being made for them to be able to stay on site overnight in Kent, as police project 3-6 months of travel disruption in the event of no deal.

Up to 1000 Ministry of Defence staff are being prepared to be seconded to prepare for dealing with Brexit.
