Cable Forum - Brexit (Old)

Boris Johnson, the Brexiter former foreign secretary, says the withdrawal agreement has been well trailed. The UK will stay in the customs union and in large parts of the single market. It is “vassal state stuff”, he says. The UK will be bound by laws over which it has no say. That is “utterly unacceptable”, he says.

Re: Brexit

PM Theresa May - is calling Cabinet Ministers in, one by one this evening to review the Draft deal text between the United Kingdom and EU - the last Prime Minister to call in ministers this way, was Margaret Thatcher - history recalls she resigned shortly thereafter on 28th November, 1990. Almost 28 Years ago to the day.

The prime minister is NOT seeing all cabinet ministers for private discussions on the Withdrawal Agreement and Outline Political Declaration on the future relationship between the UK and EU. She is only seeing those she sees as "key" - which presumably mean those who agree with her..

According to those in the know Theresa May faces a uphill struggle with Tory Remainers and Leavers. She will tell both it’s her deal or we might not leave at all.

And Jeremy Corbyn has just put out a statement stating this is 'unlikely to be good deal for the country'

Much the same thing either way under her plan. She's as cunning as a fox ;)

Re: Brexit

It’s when the deal is voted down chaos will really kick in. Corbyn and Boris both hope to become PM as a result

And that seems very inevitable.

Ireland is an EU member as well as a sovereign nation. It is only right surely that the EU negotiations should reflect Irelands interests as a member

Why don't you keep the UK's interests at the forefront rather than defending Ireland and the EU?

The EU want to sabotage Brexit and their use of the GFA is a ploy to do that as well as a brazen attempt to protect only Ireland's economic interests.

Labour, the DUP, Boris and the ERG have all come out quickly to condemn a deal they haven’t seen. I want to know what their idea for the border and for trade is.

Rumour is that that the deal text has been leaked to the Irish Media, (thanks for that disrespect EU) and that the draft agreement sees the UK become a Slave State to the EU, we will be in a Customs Union and it will see the break up of the UK Union, Northern Ireland etc.

Re: Brexit

Why would a customs union see the break up of the UK?
