    Tory Brexit No Deal DOOM™: Labour

    Brexit negotiations with the EU are heading for a "no deal" scenario, Labour's Emily Thornberry has warned.

    Shadow foreign secretary Ms Thornberry said the PM's failure to control her party was causing "intransigence" on the UK side, which was a "serious threat to Britain" and its interests.

    But International Trade Secretary Liam Fox said a failure to agree a deal was "not exactly a nightmare scenario".

    The UK was preparing "mitigation" measures for such an outcome, he said.

    Emily Dingleberry's predictions are not newsworthy, even when she's got a 50-50 chance of being correct.
    His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

        Including, but not limited to:

        - Lining up lemonade stands and port-a-potties along the M20, to boost the local economy
        - Conversion of the freshly vacated office buildings in the city and CW to affordable housing
        - Stock up on BMW, Audi and MB and bubbly for the next 5 years - suck on that import tariffs
        - Devalue the £ enough so our exports cost exactly the same overseas after tariffs - success

          When you say 50-50, do you mean that there are two outcomes, or that these two outcomes have an equal probability of occurring?

            There are two outcomes, there will be a Deal, or there will be No Deal. Whether the chance of each happening is equal is impossible to guess, since no-one knows exactly how much blood money Juncker really wants...

              Are you a fooktard? 50-50 as yes or no . However you are 100% f00ktard.

                Well, it's a bit like your divorces, the deal will always be 50-50, just not 50% 50%
                …Maybe we ain’t that young anymore

                  Then why did you say it was 50-50?

                  Rhetorical question - we both know the answer.

                    Not true. In divorce its 100% for the woman. I think the judges head will explode if they ever have to do ancillary relief for a lesbian couple.
