    Number 10 leak: get ready for the hardest of no deal brexits on the 31st

    We will make clear privately and publicly that countries which oppose delay will go the front of the queue for future cooperation — cooperation on things both within and outside EU competences. Those who support delay will go to the bottom of the queue. [This source also made clear that defence and security cooperation will inevitably be affected if the EU tries to keep Britain in against the will of its government] Supporting delay will be seen by this government as hostile interference in domestic politics, and over half of the public will agree with us.
    We will also make clear that this government will not negotiate further so any delay would be totally pointless. They think now that if there is another delay we will keep coming back with new proposals. This won’t happen. We’ll either leave with no deal on 31 October or there will be an election and then we will leave with no deal.
    OMFG

    No one negotiates with a bully. You think countries are lining up to do trade deals with Thump's Murcia's chlorinated chicken?

    You only need only open a history book to know where this leads. Wars are built on threats, not relationships.

        Seems like that unelected SPAD Cummings is at the bottom of this, so much for democracy and taking back control...

        Given that at the moment there is an assumption that the EU27 will unanimously agree a Brexit extension, that would mean the whole of the EU going to the “bottom of the queue” for cooperation.
        Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

          And Cummings/Boris made sure this morning that there will be no deal after a call with Merkel

            "she said a deal would never be possible unless Northern Ireland stayed in a customs union"

            So who made sure there will be no deal?


            Ah well I wish we could hurry up and crash out or stay in or whatever gets us to a GE soonest.

              So the backstop would have trapped us in forever. If there is no deal will the EU force the Republic to carry out border checks? The UK can just refuse to do it.

              What I fear if we don't come out before a GE is NF holding the balance of power.

                No. Definitely not. It would have made sure that the UK did not unilaterally do something monumentally stupid.

                Yes, you’re right, the UK can leave the border open for free movement of goods, services and people. That’s called “not leaving the EU”

                That’s “the will of the people”. Not 50 million of us. But the people who voted in favour of The ideas put forward by Farage, Johnson, Gove, Rees-Mogg, etc.

                You won, get over it.

                  I lost FWIW, but unlike you I accept it, it is really hard to stay civil when addressing such a facile poster.

                    Has No 10 turned into a toddler group?

                    "If you support a delay we won't be friends with you any more. "
                    Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.
