That makes Davis look slick and in control. Oh dear.

These Brexiteers are making Thatchers handling of the Polltax look smooth with wide & comprehensive stakeholder buy in.....
So you reckon that even if the best deal on offer is something like £100bn a year into the EU coffers for ever more and no FTA even that would be preferable to reverting to WTO?
No deal will be a disaster.

£100Bn/year? Not even the biggest liar ever put that on a bus.

Any transitional deal would likely be less than now, though with less say.

It'll be a worse deal than now, but not as bad as WTO.

EU diplomats based in the UK, aye. Totally independent primary source nuts

Asking one side how the other side is doing - guaranteed to get an accurate response.

I agree. For months the biggest risk to Brexit has been the hardcore Tory Brexiteers. However, the abject capitulation of labour has left them in control, for now.
Indeed.

The bigger worry is that Corbyn is holding on as he sees the tories - even though in many ways are more competent than labour - will fudge brexit so badly he is in with a shot. Brexit could destroy the tories quite easily. And the a labour govt under corbyn could destroy the country. Feels like a low risk now, but what if the tories implode?

Why would it be better than WTO if we don't have WTO as an option? If we are obliged to accept whatever deal is offered there is nothing to stop them demanding £100bn a year, or £200bn.

I'm not sure any deal could be better than WTO, it could certainly be worse.

Clegg, what an item.

Clegg pledges to crack down on tax avoidance after hiring Sir Philip Green as an efficiency adviser. Blair likes complex corporate structures for his business affairs and a low tax bill.

These two clowns ought to go in for entertaining children, writing a book for kiddies would keep them out of the limelight and off our TV screens for a while. The book would begin "Once upon a time in a tax haven far far away..."

Corbyn could do the illustrations for other Labour MPs to colour in.

He's ace the old Clegger, he trashed the Lib Dems so he's alright in my book.

Very well, jester

Off of the top of my head between 2010 and 2015 they lost

11 MEPs
47 MPs
11 MSPs
6AMs
Hundreds and hundreds of local councillors

And then they eneded up with loser Farron in charge, who, despite banging the Brexit is bad drum this last nine months has moved from about 8% in the polls to about 10% in the polls, hehe

In private, both the UK and EU recognise that a crash out would be bad for both of them. Before any negotiation, either side usually postures and bluffs, why should this be any different?

They all want a deal, who will be perceived as having got the best deal will be down to who blinks first.
If you are going to play a game of bluff and bluster its best to do some fact checking. The governments “no deal is better than a bad deal” statement looks a bit stupid when DD has to admitted his department has done no work on the economics of no deal.

That was also an excellemt move from the Lib Dems, putting Farron in charge.

Every time a discussion crops up involving Party leaders, it takes ages to remember his name, if it ever happens. Instantly forgettable and almost as useless and out of touch as Clegg.

Given the protests and legal machinations which arose after the 2016 referendum on remaining in, or leaving the EU, it is quite possible that the way the UK was taken into the EU was illegal.
No one in the UK had, or was given the chance to vote on whether or not they wanted the UK to be a member of the EU.
The UK was given a vote on whether or not they wanted to join a European trading bloc known as the EEC.
The EEC changed itself into the EU, which was a completely different construct in 1993. I don't know how long has to pass before legislation can no longer be challenged, but if there is no time limit, it would seem there might be good reason to launch a legal action against the way the UK was drawn into the EU, without giving the UK citizen a vote on the matter.

It's a question that cant be answered. The principle is absolutely correct, you have to be prepared to walk away if you have any chance of making a fair deal.

You should be just as concerned that your cheerleader for the last 9 months, Clegg, doesn't even understand the difference between membership of and access to, the SM. Really, 9 months and he doesn't understand that, how low is that guys IQ? And he is one of your top men.

Love the wording there Mrr T. I believe the words should actually be "DD has to admitted his department has done no work on a forecast of the economics of no deal

What DD actually said was that they're working on how best to mitigate the effects of no deal along with what would be best from a deal PoV and when they have that *then* they will be able to provide a forecast.
