I would be very, very surprised if they did vote for it without taking a long hard look at it first and I just don't think they have the time. I continue to believe this is all part of an election strategy and that this "deal" would be the basis of Johnson's Brexit manifesto. This is Johnson about to don his martyr clothing. "Look folks, I tried, I really tried, but those difficult MPs failed you yet again. So now we will have to ask you to back us at a GE. Give us the mandate. Give us a majority and we will GET BREXIT DONE" I can even see red baseball caps being manufactured in China right now, emblazoned with GBD. Electioneering is a wonderful thing if you know how to do it.

How amateurish did May's negotiating look now!! Boris is coming back with May’s deal but worse. Still, he’ll tub thump like it’s a ‘victory’ because we’re ‘out’ and you’ll lap it up. Edited by DanH (17 Oct 2019 7.32am)

Just seen that the DUP have knocked back the deal. Customs issues. Cannot say I blame them.

Sounds like the deal will fail so will Boris now keep his word whilst sticking to the Benn act, I hope so.

Will the fish know about the border in the sea? If it's a type of fish that the EU allows to be fished and we say no as it is in danger will the fish do a fish type of runner to the safe water? Will we allow fish to lounge about all day, eating our sea life? For Cod'sHake won't someone think of the fish? I’ve just red your post, but now I need time to mullet over.

Cod cannot be accused of disrespecting the referendum result. They left immediately, haked off to some other plaice. All that's left are red mullet 'remoaners'.

Making promises you know you cannot deliver (aka lying), appealing to the worst sentiments of the narrow minded, and encouraging divisions might win elections but is it really showing leadership and the best way to develop a society?
For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally. |

I don't know but why not ask George Osborne as he was one of the worst culprits

Maybe not but an election campaign of “Oh, go on. Let us have a go” isn’t going to win much.
