And so it should have been but for the bad faith of the EU who have insisted on conditions that they know we cannot possible accept.

You knew I would say that.

No need to worry. Any minute now the German Car manufacturers will on the phone to Angela Merkel. They just to build up the suspense...

Get in quick! The tariffs and documentation required by the UK from 2021 may make this a no-goer, I'm afraid.

EU to plough ahead with UK trade talks despite Johnson rebuff

Brussels — and even some Tory MPs — remain convinced British prime minister will still do last-minute Brexit deal

The British, no matter what was said to them during the referendum campaign, need the European single market,” he [Emmanuel Macron] said after an EU summit in Brussels on Friday. “They are much more dependent on us than we are on them”.

That calculation underpinned a decision in Brussels to prepare for further talks in London despite Mr Johnson’s insistence that only a “fundamental” rethink of the EU’s demands could unblock negotiations...

Many Conservative MPs still believe Mr Johnson will strike a “five minutes to midnight” deal with the EU and the pressure on him to compromise with Brussels from business leaders and farmers will be intense as the clock ticks down to the end of the Brexit transition period on December 31.

Brussels believes that talks could continue until early to mid-November if needed even though it will dramatically squeeze the timetable for ratification.

Peter Mandelson, former EU trade commissioner, said: “There is now too little separating the two sides for either to afford a no-deal outcome. Of course Downing Street will inflate their language to put pressure on the EU. But my judgment is that Johnson is too weak politically to have the commotion of no-deal coming on top of the Covid mayhem.”

You have not addressed the reason why the PM has taken that route. But you wouldn’t, would you?

You seem blind to all the EU’s duplicity but take pleasure in tripping the government up at every turn.

You’d make a good Russian!

Unsurprising, but if Sleepy Joe wins we will be back at the table with the EU before fireworks and bonfires on the 5th.

Boston Democrats won't see the Good Friday Agreement pissed upon by Boris.
