‘It’s my deal, no deal or no Brexit at all: UK PM May’
As there are more complaints about the proposed Brexit deal, UK Prime Minister Theresa May is saying there is just her deal or no deal or perhaps even no Brexit:
It’s my deal, no deal or no Brexit at all: UK PM May
December 6, 2018
LONDON (Reuters) – Prime Minister Theresa May said on Thursday that British lawmakers faced a choice ahead of a vote on her Brexit deal: approving her deal or facing an exit with no deal or even the reversal of Brexit. …
May said some in parliament were trying to frustrate Brexit and that she did not think another referendum on Brexit was the right course.
“There are three options: one is to leave the European Union with a deal… the other two are that we leave without a deal or that we have no Brexit at all,” May told BBC radio.
“It’s clear that there are those in the House of Commons who want to frustrate Brexit… and overturn the vote of the British people and that’s not right.”
May repeatedly sidestepped questions on whether she would delay the Dec. 11 vote but did hint at possible concessions on the Northern Irish backstop. …
EU negotiator Michel Barnier said on Thursday that the only deal available was the one agreed with Brussels.
“The agreement that is on the table — the withdrawal agreement and the agreement on the future relationship — are, in our view, the only and best possible to organize an orderly withdrawal,” Barnier said. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-britain-eu-may/its-my-deal-no-deal-or-no-brexit-at-all-uk-pm-may-idUSKBN1O50S7
Theresa May thinks the agreement she has negotiated is the best possible and she does not want another Brexit vote. But now she is hinting about a no Brexit.
Things change. Last year, Theresa May’s party insisted that Brexit will happen:
November 10, 2017
The date of Brexit will be written into law as Theresa May warned Tory rebels that the process of leaving the European Union will not be derailed.
Amendments to legislation going through Parliament will spell out that the UK’s membership of the EU will end at 11pm GMT, midnight in Brussels, on March 29 2019.
Brexit Secretary David Davis said … “Our amendment makes it crystal clear that the UK is leaving the EU at 11pm on March 29 2019.”
“We’ve listened to members of the public and Parliament and have made this change to remove any confusion or concern about what ‘exit day’ means.” http://chronicle.gi/2017/11/theresa-may-vows-to-face-down-attempts-to-thwart-brexit-legislation/
Notice also the following related to the current proposal and what could happen next:
6 December 2018
Theresa May again vowed to press on with her Brexit plan today, insisting it is the only option on the table that delivers on the result of the EU referendum.
But the PM looks to be on track for a catastrophic defeat, with more than a hundred Tory MPs, the DUP, Labour, the SNP and the Lib Dems all lined up against her. …
In the wake of a defeat on her deal, Mrs May would have 21 days to bring a new plan to the House of Commons. …
Support is likely to gather around a ‘Norway-plus’ plan that has long been pushed by Tory backbencher Nick Boles. …
It would effectively keep the UK in the single market, with a customs bolt-on to avoid a hard Irish border, and backers say it would keep Britain close to the EU while cutting contributions to Brussels.
However, critics say it has the drawbacks of keeping free movement, – and tightly limiting the possibilities for doing trade deals elsewhere.
The EU is also thought to have concerns about a country the UK’s size joining the EEA, while other states in the group might be resistant. …
Mrs May’s mantra for more than two years was ‘no deal is better than a bad deal’.
And while she appears to have abandoned the claim, many Tory Brexiteers insist the government should stick to its guns.
They point out that, as Article 50 has been invoked and the Withdrawal Act passed, that is the default legal outcome.
The hard Brexiteer argument is that while MPs can pass motions demanding a change in policy, they will not be binding on the government.
Instead they say ministers should simply ignore MPs and try to force through a no-deal outcome.
However, that kind of constitutional standoff could be incredibly difficult to sustain. …
With Westminster deadlocked, the possibility of asking the public to think again has strong appeal for many MPs.
The so-called ‘People’s Vote’ campaign has been pushing hard for another national vote, with cross-party backing. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6466827/So-Brexit-Plan-Bs-work.html
As far as another vote and the ‘Norway option’ go, notice the following:
They want a second referendum (which they hope the British people will change their minds) or to revoke Article 50 and just stop Brexit or the so-called Norway option which keeps Britain under EU rule without any say over its destiny. All these options are unacceptable.
If, as seems likely, the deal is rejected then the EU should see sense and look again at its unnecessary backstop solution. Boris Johnson is completely right in saying that it is totally unnecessary not least because nobody will build a hard border between Ireland and Northern Ireland and a border already exists in terms of taxation, currency and many other things.
But if the EU does not see sense then it is clear that Parliament should not frustrate the vote of the British people but make it clear we will leave with no deal, keeping our £39billion. https://www.express.co.uk/comment/expresscomment/1055252/brexit-news-remainers-betray-britain-politics-uk
The UK’s Nigel Farage called the proposed deal “the worst deal in history” (see ‘N. Ireland to Stay Locked in EU Customs Union: Brexit Update’ ‘Worst Deal in History’).
As far as the EU goes, BBC’s Kevin Connolly reported a while back (see EU states that UK must pay a price for Brexit and be worse off than EU member states):
The 27 EU Remainer states are adamant that Britain will pay a price for leaving and will be worse off outside than the union than it is on the inside.
The EU agreed to a deal that many in the UK do not want.
Now, Theresa May keeps hoping to get the deal approved anyway.
If the deal is approved as is, it is not a total break from the EU (at least at this stage; see also EU approves Brino Brexit deal, but deal still needs approval by UK and EU parliaments). The EU will still be upset with the UK and later will further insist on outcomes that many in the UK do not want.
If the deal is not approved, and a ‘hard Brexit’ happens, the EU will be even more upset. It will consider that the UK is also unreasonable and even more unreliable.
If the UK does not Brexit, the Europeans will further see the UK as inept and will point to this to show other nations why they should never try to leave the EU.
The Brexit situation is now a mess for the UK.
Europe is not going to ‘get over’ the Brexit vote and will one day take actions that most of those in the UK (as well as USA and Canada) will not consider possible (cf. Daniel 8:24-25, 11:39; see also USA in Prophecy: The Strongest Fortresses).

Brexit and the fate of Northern Ireland, Gibraltar, the UK, and the USA On April 29, 2017, 27 of the nations of the European Union agreed to certain guidelines for the negotiations with the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland which gave its notice to leave on March 29, 2017. These guidelines are contrary to what the UK wants. Does the EU intend the UK to pay a price for leaving the EU? What does Spain want? What does the Republic of Ireland want? Will Northern Ireland and Gibraltar eventually fall under European control? Will the UK and USA be conquered? What does the Bible teach? Dr. Thiel answer these questions and more in this video.
Forbes’ Brexit Monster is the Beast of Revelation Various ones have been properly convinced that there is a plan for a European superstate. Forbes’ writer Tom Worstall wrote that the Brexit vote was about the United Kingdom “not joining the monster of the European Union to come.” The Bible tells of a Beast monster that will arise in the end times in Europe. Dr. Thiel cites news reports, as well as the Old and New Testaments, to show that the monster many fear will arise in Europe, despite the vote by the British to exit the European Union. This is a video.

Spain wants Gibraltar and Argentina wants the Falklands (also known as the Malvinas). UK Prime Minister David Cameron says the UK will defend the Falklands Gibraltar. Does the Bible give clues as to what will happen with those ‘sea gates’? Do promises made the Jacob’s mother Rebekah play a role? What about Deuteronomy 28? This is a video.
Post Brexit Prophecy On June 23, 2016, the voters of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (UK) chose to leave the European Union.

Dr. Thiel explains from biblical prophecies what is ahead for the UK, Europe, and even the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. This is a video.
