Is it time to start discussing how long it will take them to do a deal after April 1st and a WTO split.
If that comes to pass, you'd hope they'd sort it PDQ.

UK and Euro business would not be impressed, and bring whatever influence they can to bear, IMO.

What is this influence, I'm yet to see any evidence of it?

Oh, we're pointing out misrepresentations of what people actually said now, are we?

Great news, I'm all for it. There wasn't much appetite for that during the Fox "one of the easiest" discussion last week, to my disappointment.

At the moment, I don't think it outweighs the need for democracy to be seen to be done. Once we're out, and demonstrably out, everyone can do what the money wants. Which is fine by me.

Leaving with "no deal" was never possible imho given May is a remainer and so are a reasonable number of MP's even if their constituents are not!
Whilst that's true I think the problem is May thought she could get her BRINO deal through the HoC. She was too blind to see a 230 vote defeat coming. That has left a high probability of a no deal exit.

And conversely there wasn’t much apetite to discuss the £9m leaflet either when it was pointed out it didn’t state what some brexiteers said it did.

Here's hoping Volume 8 will have more integrity.

I used to think May was simply incompetent but it's much much worse than that.
This. Her actions were downright dishonest. The negotiation process was hi-jacked by people who did not want to leave.

Now if you voted remain, you might think "good", but the problem is, we are all in the same boat and it is a boat that, through the inevitable process that followed the referendum is leaving the EU. So we've had an illogical opposition, which has netted us all a really, really stty deal.

I'd believed this for some time, but this video back it up, to the hilt.
I watched that video and my conclusion was I have every sympathy for the EU side - no fking wonder they keep saying they need the UK to make up it's mind what it wants

UK - We don't want to be in CU or SM and no free movement of people how about a FTA and agreements on mutual co-operation

EU - OK I think we can do that it won't compromise your red lines and wouldn't hurt either of us too much however we want to sort out your exit first and then we can talk trade - you can have a transition period while we talk trade where nothing changes.

UK - That's great but we've changed our minds - we now want a deep and meaningful relationship but we don't want to be in the customs union or single market but we want full access without paying for it

EU - fk Off that's cherry picking we've said you can't do that

UK - OK how much of it can we get without breaking our red lines

EU - Your red lines need to be pink and wobbly

UK - But pink is still red right - no one will notice biggrin

EU - Your problem is your border with Ireland it's going to be a land border with the EU so if during the transition period we don't come to an agreement (and lets be honest you change your mind about what you want so frequently it's frankly going to be fking hard work trying to deal with your cake and eat it approach) we need something of a backstop

UK - Backstop that sounds fine just write that into the agreement and we'll sign it

Oooops!!!!!

Given the video was linked to by another poster near to the end of the last volume, it's worth repeating hereing, not least because it provides a huge amount of insight into the process the government went through and the reasons why they themselves (as agents ideologically opposed to the change Brexit represented) fudged the deal:

As a passionate brexiter, I have to agree.

My immediate question is: why was this not picked up by any mainstream media?

I'd heard through this thread that we were offered an FTA early on, but was of the opinion that the other stuff (not being part of security arrangements etc) made it pointless. We now hear that those were up for discussion too.

So May has been deceitful... were the media complicit in this or just unaware?
