  • the law and order Twitter feed posted here earlier - @davidallengreen - re: Only EU can revoke A50 and Westminster have no say now whether Brexit goes ahead or not - any more on this, as unless I'm missing something, this doesn't seem to be such big news, when it really should be?

  • Yes, I've seen that thread (and its numerous retweets).

    As for why it's not big news, I suppose it reflects the way in which people routinely shout down facts and serious discussion, so even (especially) important issues get lost.

  • Seems like nonsense to me. This guy Kerr who apparently drafted A50 told us trying the dissuade the Brexiters' claim that the invocation of A50 is irreversible:"As far as the treaty is concerned there are lots of options. There is a provision to seek some extra time for negotiation and, much more important, there’s the ability at any stage to take back the letter that the prime minister sent to President Tusk on 29 March.” Some EU lawyers say the article is unclear though. Ironically the matter will have to be cleared up at the ECJ if things will go that far.
