EU trade deal deadline is real this time

[Notch7]

Its real, because the government are pushing through a finance bill next week that includes elements which break the Withdrawal Agreement.

If a deal isn't reached by sometime Monday and the bill goes through, the EU will not agree to any deal.


If agreement for a deal is reached, its likely the EU will allow it to be drawn up and ratified even if it can't be done by 1st Jan.
That would mean UK has no deal in place for a week or two.

So have I and all my family!

So have I and all my family!

Finally we can jump off the cliff after so much procrastination.

I'm sorry but Brexit hasn't really started, we've only signed the paperwork so far.

From January it will be massive news and there will be far more division and anger than ever.

It's not a legacy for Tony Blair.

It will be a legacy for Boris Johnson who will go down as the man who did the greatest economic damage to the United Kingdom since the war.

Trump is gone, right wing populism is on the wane

Brexit will be big news next year.

The UK out of the EU.

In years go come, people will say "What was the UK, and who was Alexander Johnson?"

Populism has only started mate.

Populism has only started mate.

You mean liars like Johnson who manipulate the public by getting them to vote against their best interests.

If you believe Brexit is the 'will of the people' you really are set behind the ears.

Nah right wing populism in USA, UK, Hungary, Poland etc has had its day.

It's odd to think his family call him Alex, which is of course his actual first name.

I thought Brexit was the will of the people.
All 17.4 million of them.

Well, we’ve just got to hold on for a little while longer and they can do what they like in the new year because we'll be out and we'll be staying out.
