We then need to, in good time, plan how we are going to mitigate and plan for each scenario. The Maybot and Hammond just kicked the can down the road and never really took no deal seriously or wanted to fund it. So, rather than focus on negotiating and planning for all scenarios, the Maybot did neither it seems.Okay, but we still don’t jump out even if we might have food and medicine problems. Right? We don’t do that when we are talking about food and medicine? We put aside who is to blame, who did or didn’t do what, and we don’t let that happen?
The last thing anyone wants is to have shortages of anything, or items going to waste at suppliers in other countries because of a controversial backstop. There has to be a solution on the backstop, but the EU won't budge and politically, the UK does not want itself to split over the single market. We are mutually exclusive now.
If we had been able to talk trade with the EU and negotiate our split at the same time, there would be a vision in place for what next, a sense of optimism. Now, because we stupidly accepted the EUs process, we are stuck where we don't know about trade and neither side is budging on process. So No Deal will happen as a consequence.
The fact some of our politicians have spent 3 years undermining HMGs position at every turn by refusing a No Deal has only pushed us further to that as the EU don't believe we'll do it. It's a complete ? show, but if we pretend to believe in democracy, we can't just sit back and say, no, we take it back when the result is one we don't like, or its too hard.
We had 3 years to mitigate this, we've only got serious for 3 months.
