I think the level playing field is another circle that can't be squared. The ERG or CRG or whatever the fuck the lunatics call themselves nowadays have him by the balls, and the EU can't compromise on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26192 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Do they though? He knows Labour won’t vote against a deal so it sails through regardless. Johnson won’t want the optics of going over there and coming back empty handed, he’ll want a re-run of his walk around the garden with Varadkar.

Renton 17631 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I think the vote can probably pass without the headbangers but I don't think Johnson's tenure is feasible with them against him. I think Johnson is gone shortly regardless and he doesn't give a fuck what damages he causes. Then there's the finance bill he's introducing to add salt to the internal market bill. No way can the EU accept that or let it be used as leverage. Personally I'm past caring. Any deal.will be so shit it'll make little difference. None of what has been discussed in this deal addresses the loss of services, non tariff barriers, or rules of origin. Nissan is fucked whatever happens and the NE will become a wasteland like in the 80s. I think I'd prefer instant catastrophe to a long drawn out death. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4949 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 They've "solved" Northern Ireland. Remains in the single market. Hard border down the Irish sea then, presumably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will please the Rangers fans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26192 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 It's going to be a fucking bollocks. Are businesses really going to bother with a hassle of customs declarations to send small orders to businesses over here? I can see a lot of people refusing to supply to NI in three weeks times. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 4949 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 I think Boris is going to cave in here tbh. He'll come away with some bollocks that allows him to claim victory which really just gives the EU whatever the wanted to begin with. It doesn't look to me like he has the appetite for no deal.

Renton 17631 Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Thing is, the deal really is so shit it might not be better than no deal. The ratchet clause does tie us to the EU in a way is demonstrably impacting on UK sovereignty. But incredibly we are out of the CU and SM so will miss out on nearly all the benefits. It's actually difficult to imagine negotiating a worse deal. Now the NI issue is resolved, it opens up the way for a US deal. I think he will go for no deal personally, and blame the EU. He just doesn't want to be seen to be the one who quits negotiations first. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
