A U Turn by Mrs May, as last !

"During Prime Minister's Questions, she said she recognised an "appetite" for a White Paper on her "bold" proposals for negotiations with the EU"

Let me translate that into plain English....." some of my own MPs wanted this and to keep them from rejecting A50, I have decided to back down"

[dannyk13]

When did she ever say that there would not be a white paper?

[ToraToraTora]

how will that help?

[mikey4444]

Danny....she wasn't keen before yesterday Court decision was she ?

She could have saved an awful lot of money and time, if she had announced this straight after the first Court decision last year, instead of now.

"Before Mrs May's announcement, opposition parties and more than half a dozen Conservative MPs including some ex-ministers had called for a White Paper - a government policy document which sets out proposals for future acts of Parliament - on Brexit."

A previous Tory PM might have described her as "frit"

[dannyk13]

I repeat when did she say there would not be a white paper?

[mikey4444]

TTT....you voted the Tories in...why don't you ask her ?

[mikey4444]

Danny...before the 1st Court decision, she didn't even think that the subject needed debating, let alone a White Paper !

She has been caught on the back foot, and her legal team should have seen this coming.

[ToraToraTora]

A white paper is to explain and expand on proposed legislation. The A50 act will bw the shortest and simplest in history, what's to explain? She's probably done it to stop the whining from some the remoaners.

[mikey4444]

No TTT....she has done it to placate her own Party !

Frit !

[dannyk13]

Stop waffling Mikey,if she didn't say there would not be a white paper then in no way did she back down.As usual you are putting your own slant on things.

[emeritus]

Different slant on it here

[mikey4444]

No slant needed Danny.

Yesterdays Court decision changed everything. If the decision had been the other way, she wouldn't have needed a debate or a White Paper !

She lost !

[ToraToraTora]

have a day off there is nowt to explain in a white paper, she'd struggle to fill a tweet.

[dannyk13]

I repeat stop waffling. You are dreaming up things. I notice you never said anything about your God Corbyn getting a flea in his ear.

[ichkeria]

Theresa May, or her team, have repeatedly said 'No White Paper' and indeed were still saying it this morning. She had no choice though. A significant number of her MPs were threatening to rebel

[mikey4444]

Danny....I donit think I can explain this any clearer.

[dannyk13]

That is true, you can't explain what is not there.

No answer again, why does that not surprise one?

Don't say even you posts ill thought out threads also?

It was reasonable to see if the judges came to a sensible decision or not before having to comply. I don't see the problem myself. Now forced to go through the fiasco of having to debate it all again, the paper has been promised. Now it is just a case of seeing how much fuss the anti-democracy MPs make to delay/derail it.

Mickey, it was Corbyn knocked for 6 during PMQ's. Totally KO'd, I enjoyed every minute of it.

I wouldnt be too jubilant over a piece of paper yet, you have no clue what will be in it or, by TM's admission, when it will be available.
