And one of those is PM and the other is a party leader tipped as an interim PM, so polarising can equal votes.

I see IDS is continuing the Cummins designed narrative for weak minded:

Iain Duncan Smith: 'Extremists blocking Brexit'

Former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith told Sky News that MPs blocking Brexit are "extremists", adding that parliament should respect the public's "sovereign authority".

Also, saw this brilliant Brexit analogy:

Farage asks for a pint. The barman draws it & throws it into his face. 'Why did you do that?' 'You asked for a pint, but you didn't say how you wanted it delivered.' Farage: ‘I'll have a pint in a pint glass.' 'No. You can't ask again.' 'Why not?' 'Democracy.'

Perfect ..

Just to be very clear here: the term "narrative for weak minded" would never apply to any Forum members. It applies to those in this country who slavishly listen to biased media outlets and refuse to apply their own critical thinking to the situation.

I have an issuing with "drawing a pint". Pulling a pint, serving a pint or even the craft beer term of pouring a pint all quench the thirst. A picture does not work in quite the same way for me.

Correct - it's all about the branding, the wording and PR.

The new plan. A hard border with physical infrastructure just far enough away to avoid the sniper.

Maps of the borders

a) 10 mile border zone (and this is just on the NI side)
b) political inclination in those areas.

If it’s 10 miles from the border, it’s still a border post - it’s the function and purpose of the posts that count, not the location.

The latest rumour broadcast on LBC just now, if true, is a useful concession.

It is reported that the EU countries have instructed the Commission to offer a time limit for the Backstop,

We'll see.

20 years should just about do it, I think.

The trade deal should only take 2-3 years to sort out (once the Conservatives get the working majority they need).
