If you’re a Cabinet minister who doesn’t agree with your own government’s main policy (which was a key manifesto pledge in the last election that you stood on) then you probably shouldn’t be a Cabinet minister in that government any more. #justsayinghttps://twitter.com/SkyNewsBreak/status/1099067975171219456 …

No...I just read the manifesto again, and cannot find this “no deal” statement. Perhaps you could tell us which page it is written on?

Define bad deal.

Indeed. May, cabinet & UK gov have agreed on a WA, therefore stating in plain terms that this is their better then a no deal for them, so there’s no contradiction in standing behind that position rather than contracting out what constitutes acceptable WA to ERG or other faction

No deal & May's deal bad!! No deal IS catastrophic - you're naive &/or dangerous!! Listen to 'real' expert Sir Ivan Rogers whom TM & Brexiteers all ignored - so he resigned in Jan 2017 - proven right on everything!! His intelligence is superior to all of them put together!!

Yes, here's a link to his article today.https://twitter.com/Danielf90/status/1099239901923553280 …

The manifesto said "we continue to believe that no deal is better than a bad deal" - a wooly statement, not a manifesto commitment. Meanwhile lots in there is being damaged by the very Brexit it promises to deliver, like the UK becoming a centre of excellence for electric cars.

It also promises to seek a comprehensive free trade and customs arrangement.-is a customs arrangement the same as a customs union that it promises to leave? Also manifesto commitment to continue paying in and to settle our obligations. So no walking away without paying the billpic.twitter.com/IelOvdGaCL

Only it isn't, her deal bad as it is still better than no deal, Jesus wept I'm sure even you can see that but when all is said and done there is something far far better than either option.

Have you actually read her deal ?? Her deal is far worse than no deal how any British politician could sell out our country like this is beyond belief
-
I agree it's far worse than we have today but it does have a "solution" for the backstop and frictionless trade. Crashing out is absolute madness designed only to fill the pockets of the few.

“No deal is better than a bad deal “ is an opinion not a policy commitment. A stupid sloganistic opinion too IMHO

The manifesto said we would get 'the best possible deal, delivered by a smooth orderly Brexit'. If we're not getting any deal at all then that is going against the manifesto promise and we should be discussing delay or revoke. No deal isn't smooth or orderly.
-
You can't pick and choose which bits of the manifesto you want to read. It said both that the government would try to get a good deal, but also that no deal was better than a bad deal.
-
But this deal (which sadly reduces the highly favourable EU position we had before but thankfully maintains many of our rights) is better than a no deal (which is an actual national calamity). So the no deal/bad deal point in manifesto doesn't stand... Riddle me that?
-
That is your opinion. Parliaments opinion is that it is a bad deal. Their opinion, in this case, as your elected representatives, is the opinion that matters.
-
Let's hope common sense previals and we just remain then as no deal and Mays deal are both rubbish.
-
Appreciate that you want to just remain. But I have to ask you this - has that opinion changed? Have you always believed we should stay?
-
Voted Remain, accepted the result and happy to leave with a good deal but not the deal she has come back with. It doesn't make leaving worthwhile. And now I have no faith that any politician is up to getting us a good deal now. They are all lackluster.
