BREAKING NEWS: A deal has been done

[sal]

What was the legal wording of "got a deal?"
Interesting point though.


So it looks like DUP won't accept it and Labour will be whipping their MPs bloody to vote it down too.

How about, agree the deal, request the extension (blaming Benn) then immediately hold a GE to seek a majority in order to accept the deal?

Because TBP has been whipping voters with TV ads against a deal Brexit for quite some time. They will pose a severe threat to the Tories if they campaign for Brexit deal.

Don't forget that the growing UKIP threat to the Tory voter base was what started this fiasco in the first place.

From the EU perspective, a deal would be like flushing a massive turd down the U bend, whereas the alternative is having to call out a plumber.

Although the latest Daily Telegraph poll shows 82% Leave and 61% Remain...polls, load of old bollocks....

What did they do, ask Diane Abbott twice...?

I thought this too, but after googling it appears parliament have to approve it also.

This.

It ain't a deal until Parliament passes it. If Parliament votes against it, the Benn act requires Boris to request an extension.

The EU have been very shrewd. They've given Boris a deal, which is what he said he wanted. If this one goes tits up like May's, that's the UK Government's problem.

SNP MP Drew Hendry says of the new Brexit deal: "You don’t need to see the deal to know it’s a worse deal."

Fair enough.

No matter how bad the Tories are Labour will do worse, Lib Dems pro remain will poach more votes from Labour than TBP will from the Tories (as those who disagree will have left the tories by now anyway).

Tories will keep power because Lib Dems will sink any chance Labour has

Too risky. Most leavers prefer no deal

Absolutely no evidence that that is true.

ComRes poll shows

No Deal : 20%
Deal : 30%
Remain : 42%

[chopper]

Really? The latest ComRes showed 54% leave 46% remain. Unless you've been reading the New European again. I guess we'll soon find out what people really think in the GE.

That ComRes poll broke Leave down into Deal and No Deal, so the 54% leave is the sum of the Deal and No Deal respondants.

If you pit Remain vs Leave, Remain wins
If you pit Remain vs various different version of leave, Remain still gets the highest proportion.

Not so, according to the news I'm seeing. DUP on board, it believes.

Seems they were wrong and the DUP is definitely NOT on board !!!
