It's going to have to be sort of a deal like Norway

Michel Barnier



And this from the economist

So two things, first frictionless is different from borderless, the Norway deal allows easy border checks because there is no divergence between both sides, in that sense the Norway deal is the example to follow but again the border still exists and border checks are still present. Secondly the Economist solution means that the UK ignores all their red lines, it means common legislation, jurisdiction, custom and trade areas which is exactly what the UK are trying to leave. It leads us to Barnier point before the quote you provided, there is no added value to Brexit.

Norway (single market) + the customs union is almost the same as EU membership ie with the 4 freedoms, the only difference from being in the EU is that the Uk will be paying more and having no voice and extra Brucey bonus - no Farage.
The UK have ruled out the CU, the SM and the ECJ and freedom of movement.
 
Economics, Brexit-style.

I especially like the "Bad news for the remainers" comment, it's on a par with "We won, you lost, so suck it up" - one day the Brexiters will reveal what they won that the rest of the UK population didn't.
 
I guess there's a kind of solace to be taken from the fact that we're now at the point where the shrill are claiming that giving people or their elected representatives a final say on the outcome of the negotiations would be "undemocratic".

The response by Breixters to the point that people didn't know what they were voting for seems often to be: "Yes they did, we voted for whatever deal the government gets unless we don't like it in which case we didn't vote for that deal and the government has betrayed the people who voted for Brext" - which never really made sense to me.
 
Hopefully Brexit will lead to the realisation that we’ve had spastics in charge for 40 years and they can be changed. Doubt it though. We’ll probably cry wank ourselves back into the euro

Yeah, we have had years of seemingly blaming all our woes on the EU. Now we are seeing how incompetent we have been for years and years.
 
Governments No-Deal brexit scenario has been leaked. Another govt source saying Dova would collapse on day 1.

Seems pretty obvious. The country imports vast numbers of things we depend on, and many of them are delivered just before they’re needed. If there’s suddenly huge delays getting those across borders, then where do people think they’re going to magically appear from?
 
Scenarios like these aren't going to work for those that want hard brexit. The likes of Fox, Mogg and co want a no deal and all the trouble that comes with it so they and their backers can pick up cheap assets. I work in an investment bank and these rumours keep swirling.The country would have no choice but slash tax rates to prevent the inevitable capital flight. Then these bastards can now bring their money in.

You just have to look at the jobs of Brexit main patrons...
 
Trying to ram a vote on every amendment through on one day could backfire spectacularly. Even persuadable (from govt's point of view) Tory MPs may well be thoroughly pissed off with this stunt that they inflict a series of defeats on the government on issues that they otherwise might not, just out of sheer spite and frustration at how this is being handled.
 
Another solution for NI border



How does he come up with all these morons calling him? I've let a playlist of his clips run in the background and it's just one moron after another. And those people aren't just a bit stupid, they can't even formulate one cohesive argument, but instead just repeat one or two catch phrases over and over.
They reminded me a lot of the IASIP characters.

We have the same calling RMC every morning, the worst part is that you get used to it.

O’Brien filters out any guests who might challenge his undeserved smug superiority. Never has anybody on the show who knows what they’re talking about. A major part of the problem is people like him in the media
 
So our friend Corbyn is going to abstain on EEA membership, guaranteeing it's failure and Introduce a rubbish amendment he knows cannot pass. Feck him tbh.
On the other hand, May might be toast if she loses the CU vote.

Nah there's no way, they'll keep her around and hope they can pin most of the Brexit shite storm on her. Also if she goes then there a good argument for another election and a decent chance of Labour government.

She's a busted flush. There's literally no way she can continue negotiations if she loses that vote. She would have nothing to work with. If it leads to a Lab govt, the quicker the better.
