6 hours less time spent ruining people’s lives I guess; every cloud.

Just incredible he has 6 hours in the week, just shows how little DD actually does.

I never forget the time when he turned up in Brussels empty handed to sit round the table. Said it all..

Had an interesting chat last night with someone with far more knowledge of this Brexit malarkey than me.

Reckons Johnson folds tomorrow, weekend to come up with the excuses and announcement on Monday.

Wouldn't say (or didn't know), but I still believe U-turn on Internal Market Bill and Border in the North sea, U-Turn on level playing field and Fishing kicked off into the long grass again.

Although Johnson may then have to wait on tenterhooks as it may not be ratified through the EU Parliament as easily or quickly as he thinks. This is because EU MEPs do not always reflect the political make up of the individual EU states (remember how many UKIP MEPs Britain had in the EU parliament when they couldn't get a single MP into the UK parliament) and those differences could be interesting ???

Apparently at that point the crystal ball started going hazy (between you and me, I think she'd had a few :wink:)

Interesting. I think the awfulness of the Covid impact on public finances might be getting through Johnson's thick skull: the double whammy of this and Brexit no deal hardly bear thinking about. But he has painted himself into a very tight corner. His red wall MPs plus the original ERG loonies not to mention that even as recently as PMQs he was still sticking to the fisheries issue, all make it very hard for him to do any sort of a deal without losing his base.

Anyway ,we all know that the EU needs us more than we need them, so we await their while flag............

Lets say Johnson caves in and secures a deal where is rebelion coming from as Labour more than likely support it?

Could be a gammon meltdown...

Labour (and all opposition parties) will definitely support the deal, whatever it is, because as we all know, any deal (no matter how piss poor) is better than 'no deal'.

However, I think there could be a fairly sizeable number of swivel-eyed loons from the extreme right of the Tories, together with Farage, who will think differently. That's where all the entertainment will come from :lolol:

Being the eternal optimist, a bit of black humour is the best I can dig out of this complete clusterf***. Although it is quite ironic that the whole thing started with Cameron thinking the referendum would be a way to fix the cracks in the Tory party and here we are 5 years later with the cracks having developed into chasms long ago when Johnson and the ERG stopped May's deal, and the situation becoming worse :facepalm:

There will always be a loony little Englander core in the Tories that will never be happy until the channel tunnel is bricked and spag bol is banned by law

With one or two exceptions, NSC's Brexit enthusiasts have always belonged to this faction. The fact the the OBR report that a no-deal Brexit would add 300,000 extra job losses to the funeral pyre is of no interest to them.
