"currently utterly unreported" It was on the radio 4 today programme this morning. It's a decent point he is making but he shouldn't try and pretend he is the only one who knows this! | | | |

They still won't want No Deal in two or three years time. Plus there is a reasonable chance a hard-line Brexiteer Conservative government may not be in power by the time we get there. | |

But following the logic that hard brexit affects us more than them, it gives them a useful stick to beat us with in negotiations as that next deadline approaches. | |

Oh yeah. I've said this before and I'll say it again 'give us what we want or we'll f*ck ourselves into the ground' is, at best, a rather flawed negotiating position. [Post edited 18 Oct 2019 10:22]

This is precisely why the ERG are likely to back the deal. Little changes like this make it a harder Brexit than May's already pretty hard Brexit. It enables us to become a deregulated, low tax, low worker's rights economy. That's their wet dream. The fact it means that many of them will have to do something they said they'd never do in going against the DUP won't even register. These people are utter pond scum. Those who have been duped into thinking that these low lives are fighting for something for them, I feel really sorry for. They've been had. | |

Surely if we are not governed by EU laws, everytime a new party comes into power, they will propose a wholesale change in the laws to suit their political position? This would be a nightmare. | |

It's almost like the whole thing was a flag-waving, foreigner-bashing exercise in short-termism for the sole benefit of some free-market extremists and disaster capitalists. [Post edited 18 Oct 2019 10:52]

There'll be lots* of new hospitals. We can't staff them safely, but they'll be there as well. *if your idea of 'lots' is the highest score you can get from rolling a six-sided dice | |

I've never been convinced by that view. I'd be grateful for an explanation. Preferably one that doesn't boil down 'yeah, well they're all stupid foreigners'. (i don't for a moment think that you personally would give such an explanation btw) | |

They’re likely to back it as a Hard Brexit and even a no deal is likely at the end of 2020

The UK owns shares in the European Investment Bank and those shares have a nominal value of €40 billion. Can Boris use them to pay the €39B or will they be redistributed among the 27? | |

It would really help if these people got their facts right. Because we have continued to pay our bill, the current Divorce Bill is £33B not £39B. This, along with the repercussions mentioned, was also reported on R4 Today programme this morning. | | | |

"Due to certain clauses in Theresa May’s Withdrawal Agreement, the UK would have been legally bound to the EU’s ‘level playing field’ rules — such as minimum standards on environmental policy and employment law." The above quotation is about May's proposed deal, not Johnson's. The whole Spectator article's concluding paragraph sums up Johnson's deal neatly and precisely: "Now that the backstop has been removed, it also appears that ECJ’s jurisdiction has been massively reduced. The ECJ will still have jurisdiction over EU citizen’s rights for a time-limited period, and over disputes that relate to an interpretation of EU law in the WA. Northern Ireland will also be subject to some ECJ jurisdiction as long as it remains aligned to the EU. But once we leave, the UK will be free to set its own laws, in its own parliament, with its own elected representatives voting on legislation." | | | |

In years to come, that will become the OED definition of 'Brexit'. BREXIT: (n) a flag-waving, foreigner-bashing exercise in short-termism for the sole benefit of some free-market extremists and disaster capitalists. example: "Let's get Brexit done you surrendering treasonous crusties." | |

This has always been a more acceptable element of what is basically Teresa May's deal in that if we stay in, our commitments against this 'bill' are actually about double the £39B. So in answer to the question, it would be however we were going to pay £70 odd billion to the EU in the first place. | | | |

So we'll basically have what we have now but just be a lot poorer and with far fewer rights for the average citizen. Where do I sign? | |
