Boris about to Blink

Notch7 · 31 May 2020

BORIS JOHNSON could "blink at the last minute but present it as a win" as post-Brexit trade talks between the UK and EU threaten to collapse that could result in a disastrous no deal scenario for both sides, political experts have warned.

Let's hope he doesn't but I wouldn't put it past him. He is the most inconsistent, recent, prime minister so far and there have been some epic blunderers in the last few years.

I think we both know that Dom won't allow that to happen. I think we also both know why Dom is such a target at the moment.

Boris could easily bottle it, but he'll spin it as Brussells having begged for his help due to Covid's effect on the EU.

thats because Tory millionaire donors want a no deal brexit to make loads of money....oh and Tory MPs too.

Oh no another statement showing Brussels are desperate for a deal:

"Barnier has warned that if London does not follow the wording of the Political Declaration
-- that both sides agreed to last autumn as the starting point for negotiations on the future relationship -- there will be no agreement."

the fact is Brexit is not if great importance to the EU, they don't want their friends in the UK to suffer, but they will stand firm and put the integrity of the Single Market first.

The European Union needs to "kick things into gear much faster", government sources warned on as they said foot dragging over negotiations would leave it "too late" to agree a deal.

On Tuesday, the UK will enter into its fourth round of trade talks with Brussels and continue until Friday.

Speaking ahead of the talks, Michel Barnier, the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, accused Britain of not keeping its commitments and said: "The UK has been taking a step back - two steps back, three steps back - from the original commitments.”

However a senior British government source said: “It is the UK that is driving any progress being made in this negotiation. The Commission are either not ready or not willing to inject momentum.

“They need to put some political reality into their approach, and appreciate that they cannot use their usual tactic of delay to drag the talks into the Autumn. By then it will be too late, as businesses need to know what to prepare for with as much time as is practicable.”

The last round of talks ended in mutual recrimination, with the EU and the UK deeply divided over fishing. Britain’s chief negotiator ruled out giving European boats access to UK waters in return for better conditions for British financial services in the EU’s Single Market.

The Political Declaration, a joint document for the trade talks, said a deal on fishing and financial services should be completed by July, ahead of the end of year deadline for a trade deal to be finalised.

The formal deadline for any extension to the transition period is next month, with Downing Street repeatedly saying it will not extend the transition period.

Something not right there.
The Declaration did not compartmentalise the talks, and EU refused to do any such compartmentalising.
It is UK that wants to segment the negotiation, into a series of mini deals.

A LIE

Try posting something that has even a grain of truth.
Your quote was from the Telegraph -which is owned by the Barclay brothers -billionaires, donors to the Tory party and spreaders of Brexit lies.

Poor Boris is not up to the job.

Bluster and lies are no refuge from the grown-ups.

Oh, I see Notchy is quoting the Daily Express now. Here’s a quiz for everyone - who's words are these:

"Er, I hate to mention it but Tom Harwood, Guido Fawkes, The Express.They arent exactly fountains of factual evidence".

"Gee, you do believe in utter rubbish, its the Express, its means nothing".

Funny how the fact hunter can chop and change his source of facts when it suits him, isn’t it?

I think it's more to do with the Express's open and glaring repudiation of their poster boy.

Astonishing really from the Tory rag.
