All those geniuses arguing we needed the threat of No Deal to get the EU to cave in, well how are you going to spin this now the Government is pleading with the EU for help if they walk away.



"So basically government want to ditch a deal that took 2 years to negotiate. Then ask for all the things they need to carry on as normal in the the event of a no deal. Then also says we are not prepared for the no deal that we have been saying they are prepared for."

Over two hours and no solution offered by the brexit brigade.

“insufficient time to complete work” to plan no deal mitigations if left till last days of October"

Isn't no deal and just walk away what brexiters want?

Plan no deal mitigations. Plan no deal. Ok.


Spellchecker doesn't like mitigations.

Will the English Government walk? and be in contempt of English law that states no deal is not an option, an extension MUST be obtained not a No Deal, after all as i recall no one voted for a no deal brexit, yes there was a yes to leaving, but not with a no deal.

Possibly someone could remind the English Government about that?

an extension MUST be obtained

Not the only option.

Johnson could always revoke Article 50.

Wouldn't that be interesting?

Johnson could always revoke Article 50.

I for one cannot imagine a scenario where even Bo-Jo would pull the plug? that would without any doubt be the biggest U-Turn in history, especially when he has been like a cracked record re-iterating "the UK will leave the EU on Bla-Bla-Bla deal or no deal" even all the minions are trotting out the exact same line, even today at Conference??

If he did, just imaging the backlash from the rank and file of the Conservative [and Unionist] party?? WoW

So could the Prime Minister at the time, whoever that happens to be.
