A timely reminder from the Chancellor about the economic impact of a no deal. These do include a generous allowance for free trade deals with the US and others.

"Could be". Even with that it would be no deal in 2023.

The idea is to give time for a new deal on the future relationship between the EU and UK to be worked out after the UK leaves.

As I said there ISN'T a deal currently on offer.

Whereas the LibDems wearing bright yellow “bollocks to Brexit” t-shirts were so classy.

I have sympathy with their position. They didn’t stand for the EU anthem and were then chastised, being told that it is a matter of respect to stand for a “ country’s “ national anthem!

The EU is not a country, state, principality or nation. They were well within their remit to refuse to give such a political entity that has been formed without any democratic mandate such recognition.

It's still ours to accept and I'm sure that's what BoJo will do. A few tweaks to some wording and job's a good 'un.

There ISN'T any sort of proposed ongoing deal to accept or reject in the first place.

Either there is currently a deal on offer or there isn't. If there is, what is it? Otherwise the current situation is that a no deal situation will occur.

I think it plausible that a last minute agreement will be reached that will allow Gatt 24 to come into play.

So there ISN'T currently a deal to either accept or reject? The claims of a deal having been rejected are nonsense.

The withdrawal agreement deal is the one agreed between Theresa May and the EU.

The withdrawal agreement never ever was nor ever will be a "deal". Nice try though.

The one with continued freedom of movement, following EU rules and the ECJ, EU set tariffs on non-EU goods, no trade deals allowed, and of course paying them a lot of money?

The withdrawal agreement is a 'deal' which provides the transition period, covers all the legal stuff involved with that and also has a softer political declaration which gives a direction of travel for the subsequent attempts at a trade deal. The future agreement. It is a deal. It is not the final deal.

Everything else is splitting hairs.

I don't understand why anyone cares. It's a bit rude to the live performers but they got the attention they want and it works for them. Same with the t-shits, a bunch of nothing that somehow invites faux-outrage and pearl clutching.

What would you call the Withdrawal Agreement then?
