So Brexit seems to be a good thing then.

Some personal good Brexit related news for me - I am now officially British (and I still retain my EU passport too) :-)
Had it not been for Brexit, I probably wouldn't have bothered, given that I've spent close to 2000 on the process, but actually I'm pretty happy to be officially British now. I finally get to vote for parliament, and I don't run the risk of getting chucked out of the country for being a foreigner by some future government.

Will you pass their points based immigration test when you are retired? You might not be welcome!

You might have to settle for Spain instead.... Although maybe we're about to close that door too!
Either way, good luck finding somewhere nicer to retire too. I don't blame you for wanting to leave and it's only likely to get worse after brexit

Not sure you can buy your way into Australia, their system is very tough!

Well, that's Theresa May's deal in the bin then with one of the most comprehensive government defeats and a new record for conservative rebellion!
Vote of no confidence has been tabled for tomorrow, after that defeat, looks like we'll be heading for another general election. It seems there is little option than to extend article 50 now!

And what a **** Johnson is, go back to negotiate! Yeah, sure, it's taken two and a half years to get this far, we can get a new deal in 73 days
The hard line Leavers have been outmaneuvered in Parliament. Doesn't mean we're safe yet, of course, but moving in the right direction. I think the worst we will get now is a Norway type agreement, best outcome is outright remain.

Juncker will not offer anything more. Politicians will now have to finally admit what they knew.... that Brexit is a hoax and a disaster for the country. Worst case scenario is delayed brexit and another vote. Best case is we remain and hard liners lose their careers
