Are they just going to let Britain get bogged down in this EU mess?

It is mainly in recent years that MPs have become full time politicians. The MP who has another job is more likely to resign as an MP in a situation where MPs are normally expected to resign.

We cannot go on with TM thinking she van keep her precious Chequers alive. It will kill Britain.

That and a proper deal should be agreed before they get any money.

The EU are so slow but perhaps they will like the idea if they think it is their own .

The pollution problem has been getting really bad for a few years and many more children and adults are suffering. We don't want all these lorries, they make driving a nightmare and are very dangerous. It was much better when industries used the railways but sadly Beeching axed most lines other than major ones in the 1960s. The EU have not paid for our roads like they have paid for other EU countries roads. It is one of the many things we need to put right when we escape from the EU prison. Perhaps we should ban foreign lorry drivers in retaliation to the EU's threat to not recognise British driving licences.

You've got it the wrong way round. Most of the country want a hard Brexit. Only remoaners (the minority) want a soft Brexit which is Chequers i.e. more or less staying in the EU. Brexiteers want to be out of the single market so we can have trade deals with the rest of the world.

We buy vast amounts of goods/produce from the EU. If they want us to keep buying they must make it worth our while. Why should we be restricted from making deals with other countries just because of the EU. This is not a good club to be in.

We should just leave and if the EU want to trade with us, then let them come begging. As the trade agreement will not include services, there is no point pretending it does. Once we are free from the EU, we can get food etc from America or Australia, NZ etc and cars from America.

The congestion on our roads is also intolerable not only to the ports but inland to the factories. If this is what the EU has encouraged over the years, it is no wonder it is becoming an obsolete white elephant. I read recently there were 50, 000 lorries arriving every day - to Swindon I think so that is along the M25 then M4. We have been very concerned about traffic for some time. We have also had problems with emissions causing bad air in and around towns and cities ( posdibly caused by VWs as well as lorries). The sooner they stop this ridiculous system the better. Dyson is designing an electric car so let's hope he has it ready soon.

No election. We couldn't stand it, especially with May as leader and we would be bound to end up with Corbyn which would be poisonous.

They can buy their own. Suspicious though I am about the Chequers deal or the latest deal proposal, I do not see why a deal we agree with the EU will apply to or affect any deal we make with another country.

I rejoined the Tory party before Brexit. How can I take the survey please?? Mon, 3 Sep 2018 11:38:13 +0000 https://www.conservativehome.com/thetorydiary/2018/09/conhomes-monthly-survey-is-out-almost-two-months-on-whats-your-view-of-the-governments-chequers-plan-for-brexit.html#IDComment1065079537 https://www.conservativehome.com/thetorydiary/2018/09/conhomes-monthly-survey-is-out-almost-two-months-on-whats-your-view-of-the-governments-chequers-plan-for-brexit.html#IDComment1065079494 I am seriously wondering whether TM has actually read the Chequers white paper. The fact that the 10 point message she sent out is fine but the white paper bears no relation to this. Either she has not read it and is relying on what her aides are telling her or she is hoping the rest of us won't notice. Of course, the discrepancy is out of the bag now as JRM, David Davis etc have explained to us. I want to know where I can take this survey. Is it for members or only for a few trusted remoaners?
