Re: Out we go !

The signing of the commencement order will repeal the European Communities Act of 1972, and bring the European Withdrawal Act into force.

Re: Out we go !

Great News. Brexit Sec. Stephen Barclay has signed the ‘commencement order’ that will trigger the end of the EU’s law’s supremacy in the UK.

Senior Tory Brexiteers previously said the signing of the document was “totemic” and a “do-or-die” pledge confirming the UK will be leaving the EU.

Theresa May had angered Brexiteers by refusing to sign the order and instead, agreeing to delay Brexit with the EU until October 31.

But now Mr. Barclay is now understood to have signed the document, as reported by the Sunday Telegraph.

The signing of the commencement order will repeal the European Communities Act of 1972, and bring the European Withdrawal Act into force.

The Withdrawal Act was already voted through in the Commons in September last year, but for it to come into effect, a ‘commencement order’ needed to be signed by a minister.

Signing the ‘commencement order’ was described as ‘not merely symbolic’ by hardline Brexiteer, Steve Baker.
He told the Times: ‘It is absolutely totemic. It shows a transformation in the approach, that Boris Johnson is willing to leave on a fixed date with no question of extension. It’s the do-or-die pledge in black and white, it’s not merely symbolic.
‘Once it is signed that’s it, the UK is leaving. Theresa Ma\y did not bring the repeal of the European Communities Act on a fixed date because she was always willing to extend.’

fIt comes as Boris Johnson is due to meet Angela Merkel and Emmanuel Macron this week to talk about a new Brexit deal.

M.r Johnson will make clear to the French president and German chancellor that Britain will leave the European Union on October 31 with or without a deal.

The PM, who is heading to Berlin on Wednesday and Paris on Thursday, is expected to say that Parliament will not and cannot cancel the outcome of the EU referendum.
He will insist there must be a new deal to replace Theresa May’s thrice-defeated Withdrawal Agreement if Britain is to leave with a settlement on October 31.

Good! Onward Boris. No turning back now.

Re: Out we go !

It's certainly time to do something to finally get the ball rolling, our politicians have been pathetic over the last three years. You wouldn't think it could be so difficult for public servants to serve the public...
