Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20

Boris Johnson:

10th July 2017 "There is no plan for no deal because we are going to get a great deal"

10th December 2020 "There is a "strong possibility" no post-Brexit trade deal will be struck with the EU, Boris Johnson has warned.

The prime minister told British citizens and businesses to "make proper preparations" for the scenario, which would come into effect on 1 January 2021."

Let's hope it's all jolly bluster today and his 2017 statement was correct!

It would have been if the EU stopped pissing about and trying to bully us into whatever they feel like tying us to.

It’s all bluster. When has a British PM ever came back from Europe without a bit of razzmatazz. Comical Ali, sorry Laura K, is feeding the narrative. Deal by tea time on Sunday.

1) That wasn't the complete sentence that was said.
Quote:
He added: 'There is no plan for no deal because we are going to get a great deal and just for the sake of example and illustration, I would remind you that there was a time... when Britain was not in the Common Market.'
2) The preceding sentence was:-
Quote:
He said: 'I think the chances of such an outcome are vanishingly unlikely since it is manifestly in the interests of both sides of the Channel to get a great free trade deal and a new deep and special partnership between us and the European Union, and that is what we are going to achieve.'
3) It's the Remainers that have constantly given hope to the EU that they can demand whatever.
4) The EU changed their position dramatically after the WA was agreed. Those are the main current sticking points.
5) Who's to say that with no future, ongoing deal is going to be a bad thing in the longer term?

Apparently, both sides sorted out a deal months ago. But BoJo wanted a weekend back in Brussels with some nice food and importantly, a kip without the baby keeping him up all night. So, the EU agreed to his fiendish plot to look like a deal was not sorted until the last minute. He also gets to spend Christmas Eve down the duty-free Commons Bar after the deal has passed and not with the in-laws at midnight mass.

I'm sure younger models will make it back to the room for the victory party.

BoJo won't be wasting his weekend pass with her, that's just for the cameras. He'll be out on the beers with his old journalist mates.

London could be in Tier 3 by then so might as well go for it.

Re: Brexit-Transitional Period Ends 31/12/20

What’s the difference between an "Australian-style option" deal and No Deal?

There is not a fag-paper of difference.
