Theresa May made the remarkably odd decision yesterday of seeking a Parliamentary vote on Brexit renegotiations.
The EU had already repeatedly told May that there are no possibility of renegotiations.
The UK voted on 15 amendments to the Brexit deal and passed a movement to remove the Irish backstop. However, this was simply an unfathomably stupid waste of time and tax payers money given that the vote was neither legally binding nor had any possibility of coming into effect. The vote was therefore simply a way to try and pacify the British public by pretending under a very thin veil that Parliament was actually trying to do something constructive.
This morning Brussels and Dublin restated in very..VERY basic terminology that the EU would not renegotiate. The statement said that the EU would rather see a no deal Brexit than renegotiate.
Dublin has stated that Ireland is preparing to send troops to the border with UK occupied Northern Ireland after Brexit to enforce customs and border controls.
As Theresa May insists that Brexit will not effect the UK economy, 250 companies have already moved to Netherlands alone taking tens of thousands of jobs with them. Thousands of companies and hundreds of thousands of jobs have already been lost.
The government was this week forced to admit that the UK has lost almost £18bn/year since the 2016 referendum, which is enough to fund ALL NHS requests and short falls, to fill ALL gaps in policing (10’000 new police officers trained and hired) as well as enough to fix all of Britains shamefully bad potholes on the roads.

Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Al-Sahawat Times than ever but advertising revenues across the global media industry are falling fast. And unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a total paywall. We want to keep our journalism as open as we can. So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Al-Sahawat Times’ independent, investigative journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we believe truly ethical media and an unbias perspective really matters.
“I appreciate there not being a paywall: it is more democratic for the media to be available for all and not a commodity to be purchased by a few. I’m happy to make a contribution so others with less means still have access to information.”
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, the future of ethical media and the futures of our staff and their families would be much more secure. For as little as £1, you can support Al-Sahawat Times and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
