National News Brexit - the Deal or No Deal poll

[carefreeoufc]

Unanimous decision in the Supreme Court ruling in favour of Gina Miller. Looks like parliament will reconvene tomorrow?

Poor ol Boris I bet there’s some awkward silences while the world leaders queue up for their sausages at the buffet counter at breakfast this morning.

And no evident of crimes were found to on the Leave.EU campaign so the case has been closed

Brexit: 'No evidence' of crimes by Leave.EU and Arron Banks

The National Crime Agency looked into allegations against Leave.EU and its founder Arron Banks.

Sadly, it's fuel to Farage fire for the coming election

Vice President of European Parliament completely dismissed UK Government proposals. It then transpires that she’s never actually ever read them!

Money goes to money (and paves the way for 'deals' with US companies )...

Priti Patel paid £1k an hour to advise US company bidding for £6bn defence contract

Patel worked as a “strategic adviser” to Viasat from 1 May to 31 July, earning £5,000 a month for “an expected commitment” of about five hours a month.

Breaking News is Johnson is seeking an extension to 31/10 deadline if no deal agreed by 19/10
After all he has said for months
Is he now going to die in a ditch?

I'm sure plenty of people will let him try. I'm interested to see what the point of it will be - could be the EU are giving positive back room vibes over the last proposal.

But this charade must not go on forever. Let's get on with our future, not our past

*dons tinfoil hat*

Who’s to say Johnson hasn’t had people paving the way for a member state to veto an extension so that we leave without a deal anyway. Wasn’t this something Farage had allegedly looked to do by colluding with Hungary or something?

I’m sure it’s not the case because he’s slowly but surely eradicating any sense that he can be trusted to keep his word on anything at all and will surely be remembered by the public when it comes to a general election.

 

[Whingit]

Yeah, Hungarians were meeting with Gove and Raab yesterday. Would be illegal collusion, though.

Brexit: Boris Johnson will send extension letter - court document

But Boris Johnson says the UK will still leave on 31 October "new deal or no deal - but no delay".

www.bbc.co.uk

Boris will send the letter......

"Dear EU,

I`ve had to write this letter to ask for an extension.
However, we don`t want one.
17.4 million voted to leave.
We are off on the 31st so can we have the 19th - 31st as the extension?
Job done.

Cheerio

Love

Boris"

PM contradicts his own government's court documents over Brexit extension

Critics call on the Tory leader to "come clean" over his intentions as allies insist he remains committed to the divorce date.

He's buggered on that score as the text of the letter is already specified with the extension set to Jan 31st (unless the EU propose an alternative which is then voted on by Parliament iirc).

Yeah, Hungarians were meeting with Gove and Raab yesterday. Would be illegal collusion, though.

Would also be an extraordinarily ballsy move for Hungry to stand alone and be responsible for a No Deal Brexit, against the wishes of the rest of the EU. They are, after all, traditionally one of the top three net recipients of EU funding.


In general, I think that that BBC commentary got it right.
Assuming that a deal can't be worked out by October 19th (and the initial responses from the EU are not encouraging), then I think we all suspect that BoJo & co. have some plan up their sleeve to try and force Brexit themselves. We're just waiting to find out what it is - and whether it's better than every other failed plan they've had since coming to power.

We wouldn’t want to dirty up something as pure as Brexit.

Lets have a credible alternative. Liam Byrne "there's no money left". Don't make me laugh.

 

[YellowTaxi]

The Tories have been milking that joke for the last nine years. Didn't stop them making the debt bigger though.

John McDonnell says in his latest interview....

“we’ll NEVER accept an interim government without Jeremy Corbyn as PM.” Not even if a government led by a “impartial”/bipartisan PM was the only way to stop No Deal? “No, cause it wouldn’t work and it won’t have the support of Labour MPs.”


LibDem leaderJo Swinson refuses to back Jeremy Corbyn as PM, claiming he is unfit to lead the country.


The Government is restricted from governing, parliament is not functioning. We need a General Election ASAP.
