The article is from todays FT. I cannot see any journalist sitting on such information for a couple of months, just to break it now.

Yeah, yeah. The article assumes that a 'no deal' Brexit warrants stockpiles of medicines and border checks. Two straight forward solutions to avoid that.

1. Agree with the EU that pending a trade deal, there will be no change to our existing trading arrangements.

2. Apply the Article 24 GATT protection period.

We could call it the transition period.

MPs have voted down Labour’s attempt to take over parliamentary business and present a bill to outlaw no-deal.

No deal, it is, then. What are you waiting for, Boris? Say it like it is!

So why on earth would everything be delayed by 3 months? How did we function before we joined EFTA, EEC etc?

I didn't say anything would be delayed.

There is no democratic mandate for No Deal. As the whole project was supposed to be about democracy, No Deal is off the menu.

Did I miss a point when “straight forward” was redefined to include unworkable? Similar to how literally achieved the additional definition “figuratively”.

Straw man argument.

We live in a Parliamentary democracy, as remainers never tire of telling us these days. The nature of our parliamentary democracy is that members of Parliament are representatives, not delegates or deputies, also as remainers never tire of telling us these days.

If parliament passes legislation that allows for No Deal -as it did in 2017 - and then declines to take control of business in order to repeal that legislation - as it did today - then the actions of our sovereign parliament have created a situation that has all the democratic mandate it requires.

What you say here is correct if that can all hold true til November.

No straw men here :) In the 2017 GE, more people voted for Parties with Anti-No Deal manifestos.

Glad to know that if Parliament reject a No Deal in the coming months, you will wholeheartedly approve.

"Agree with the EU" is not no deal.

Similarly, Article 24 requires an agreed plan from both parties. Agreed plan is not a no deal.

So, we would be a vassal state then and the EU could keep us there indefinitely?

Not the newspaper, but maybe the leaker could have held it back to the FT until today.
