Re: Brexit

No deal is hardly a quandary for the EU.

It's one of the options they have forced us into alongside 'bad deal'.

I'm sure the EU project as a whole wouldn't mind 'no deal' as an example to other Member States what life will be like for them if they leave. The EU will have been preparing for that contingency since June 2016.

While £39bn is a lot, I'm sure the largest trading bloc in the world can find it somewhere else.

If you are going to use a media report to try and prove a point then at least quote what it says rather than your opinion of what it says.
Did the agreement go ahead as negotiated by Mr Abbot or did it not?

I think it's reasonable to state that something that required more work, and more negotiations, is not fit for purpose.

I'm loving how the pain in the Brexiteers is resulting in the conversation becoming sidetracked to avoid the reality that there's no Parliamentary majority for May's deal and none for No Deal.
