    Brexit has only just begun

    Talks on new trade deal would begin on Nov 1st inadvertently reminding the UK that the thorny bit of Brexit is still to come and exposing myth that leaving on 31st gets ‘Brexit done’ . Trade deal is much harder and its trade that splits parties. Brexit has only just begun.
    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.

    Yes yes dear. You just keep on believing that.

    This is clearly your "White Flag" moment.

      It's your white flag Surrender Deal. Guess who said this in 2018:

      "We would be damaging the fabric of the Union with regulatory checks and even customs controls between Great Britain and Northern Ireland on top of those extra regulatory checks down the Irish Sea that are already envisaged in the withdrawal agreement,

      "Now, I have to tell you that no British Conservative government could or should sign up to any such arrangement."

        It is called "Compromise". It is what negotiations are all about, give and take.

        We have now arrived at a sensible and pragmatic accord.

        I don't have an issue with it. In fact if it upsets the DUP that is simply an added bonus for me. High time those inflexible bigots got a taste of their own medicine. Karma is a bitch eh?

          It is called "Surrender". But if that triggers you, call it "Compromise".

            It's definitely an upside for most of us I think.

              On a personal level, yes. Regarding them voting against, no.

              Its going to be a tight vote. Some people are suggesting a draw. Will it then be settled by rock, paper, scissors? Or maybe a referendum....

                I'm not sure, but I think the Speaker gets the casting vote.

                  He does, and by convention he would vote with the government*, but it's anyone's guess which he'd vote tomorrow...

                  *It has happened quite recently actually.

                  His heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...

                    Mr Bercow then voted "no" in accordance with precedent.

                    What is the precedent here?
