Two pieces of great news yesterday then. Boris manages to construct a half decent deal with the EU and Wisbech Eagle won't be commenting any more. I don't know which news gives me greater pleasure What specifically makes it ‘half decent’ compared to May’s? I want details please.

Agreed Problem is, Boris now has a deal, this is just going to appear as more political stalling. With regards to the DUP - f*** them. We should always protect peoples right to self determination, but that lot of bigots can f*** right off. Make them the Republic of Irelands problem.

Depending on which paper you read Boris will either win or lose by a handful of votes. The mood music appears to be in favour of the deal the CBI, World Bank and IMF have all backed it for what it's worth. I think any MP that believes the referendum result should be respected should conclude that this is the best deal on offer so there is no point in voting against it or delaying. I think the public will not forgive those MPs who claim they want a deal but can't vote for this one. It's time they were honest about their intentions they are never going to vote for any deal and their protestations are looking increasing hollow. As for the people's vote they are in disarray they were planning to add an amendment tomorrow for a 2nd referendum but now don't think they can get the votes which is ironic as there is a big march planned for Saturday. Personally I don't think there is any appetite for another referendum amongst the public or Parliament. As for Corbyn well he didn't do himself any favours yesterday by condemning the deal before the text had even been released. He could have at least waited and pretended he read it before he rubbished it. Remainers will continue to fight and may even win the day on Saturday in which case it's up to the EU whether they grant an extension. Add to the mix that the SNP is now calling for a GE so likely outcomes are: As for myself I am conflicted I don't like the deal and would rather leave without one however like most I just want it done. Still all to play for
Agree with this especially the last 2 paragraphs

Touchy? No. Tired of trying to be patient and kind, yes. Have you read the nonsense that comes from this guy? Wild conspiracy theories that he cannot substantiate alongside attempts at diversion by insult. Did you ever condemn Pussay Patrol in the same way?

There’s a lot more concessions but there’s been movement on the Irish issue. It’s workable but it’s still not the Brexit the hardcore or the remainers want. There’s not a lot of detail so the fun times start if/when it gets through Parliament. (I think this one will) Out of interest what sort of Brexit do the Remainers want?

I’ve read what’s been published. I want to know what you personally think is better than the previous deal. Don’t be lazy.

Wild conspiracy theories that he cannot substantiate alongside attempts at diversion by insult. Please enlighten us to what you mean. I have never given you any wild conspiracy theories and it is another attempt by you to down ANYONE that you disagree with. As I have said before you are just a lower deck Lawyer of the highest degree and realise other people have their opinions even if you do not like or agree with them. I would suggest that you get back in your box and keep your head down for a while.

If you are a cricket fan you may recall that Shane Warne once suggested that Monty Panesar hadn't played 50 test matches, he had played the same one fifty times. In a similar vein our friend hasn't made 700 posts in this thread he has made the same post 700 times and as the trade deals won't have much if anything to do with the will of parliament he may have nothing to post about with luck

Johnson lost yet another vote in the HOC today meaning that MPs will have longer on Saturday to debate and also propose amendments. That could actually be quite significant, maybe allowing Benn to kick in. But why are they voting on this so soon, surely the 'deal' will be a complicated international treaty, how will they have sufficient knowledge to decide within only 2 days? That's down to the procrastination that they have 2 days...they have no one else to blame but themselves. They tried to set Boris up to fail and he comes up with a deal...now they better just get on with it. It makes me laugh when the opposition use the time its taken (3½ years) to get to this point as a justification for a referendum...when its just as much down to them and their obsfucation that its taken that long in the first place. I honestly think in all that time they've only got their act together for a combined 4 weeks working as a collective!

Surely the time has come for all progressive people to show solidarity by wearing blue berets and bellowing 'stoooooooooop breeeeeeeexit' at all times when in public?
