not sure it’s a fair use in this case but love the word ‘snides’ !!!

Amended ta !

There’s nuances though that people choose to ignore. Johnson wanted an alternative to the backstop with checks away from border. This was rejected and it was argued risked the GFA From what I’ve read the new ‘backstop alternative’ allows NI to benefit from new UK trade deals. They will have to...

Agreed Ian. Idiotic and loses some public support they’d have gained during their recent protests.

Just been listening Farage on LBC...infuriating ! Saying in one breath that we should’ve left on WTO and negotiated a free trade agreement but in another because the WA/Political Dec says the intention is to secure a free trade agreement and that Barnier has said we can’t have a free trade...

Scum (not you Tony !). Whilst I recognise the importance of not breaching the GFA I don’t think terrorists should dictate UK government policy.

Sorry if I misunderstood :emoji_relaxed:

I think we’ll be attempting free trades deal with a majority of countries (including the EU) so not sure what you mean by going in the other direction. The issue isn’t free trade deals, it’s remaining in single market and CU which would lead to us to having to follow whatever the EU have...

could’ve been worse you could’ve announced you were partial to a bit of Rees-Mogg !

Finally after three years leavers and remainers have agreed on something....theyd all have a go on Patel :emoji_joy:

I’ve just watched it again, and I honestly believe she’s got a weird (but some what attractive to sick boy) resting face !

I have in the past as well. She’s certainly not unattractive.

I saw it, she wasn’t laughing ! Feel free to check, she’s got a bit of a weird resting face

The fact is the two are intertwined ie he can only retain power longer term if he delivers for the country (hence the thoughts that he wanted a deal all along) Principled in comparison with May, no, but everyone was still quite happy to slaughter her when she was trying to find a way forward...

Bit ranty Tony !

Accurate assessment ! Will be an interesting week....IF a deal is even agreed with EU to put to Parliament The NI situation is even more interesting. If the current take on the latest proposals is correct (I’m not convinced it is as!straightforward as believed) a lot of NI will be overjoyed...

The devils in the detail on this....which will determine whether it could get through Parliament. I get the impression it won’t be as straight forward as NI staying in the CU (can’t imagine that would fly although desperate times !!!)

As I said Shmmeee, i never saw it as likely either. There were significant disincentives for the EU to do this, one of which, from memory, was the UK remaining in the CU without paying into the pot ! Unfortunately that wasn’t sufficient for all MPs ie ERG !

I wasn’t talking about the rights or wrongs of the backstop, just responding to why Johnson didn’t vote for the WA first and second time of asking. However, to answer the point, the concern was that EU wouldn’t accept viable alternatives and therefore keep us in the CU indefinitely (I was...

Great news ! Just seen the SSN interview and Robins sounded genuine with regard to his affinity for the club. He also mentioned leaving before (and alluded to that not working out particularly well)
