"Prime Minister Theresa May has called off Tuesday's crucial vote on her Brexit deal so she can go back to Brussels and ask for changes to it.

"As it stands the deal 'would be rejected by a significant margin' if MPs voted on it, she admitted."

The biggest stumbling block appears to be the issue between Ireland and Northern Ireland. In particular, what the borders will look like in terms of what people and goods will need to do or not do in order to cross it.

    centralization of power, especially to unelected parasites is incredibly stupid.

    And is also not true. It's another one of the Brexiteer's lies, along with £350 million extra for the NHS and how the rest of the world will be lining up to trade with the UK.

    I mean, my country is keen to negotiate a trade deal with the UK, but frankly they don't have much to offer us, and we produce much that they want, so we'll see how that goes I suppose.
