Does anyone hope as I do that it will not be BORIS ?not to long to go before we find out ,TRUMP in the White House,and BORIS in number 10,anyone believe in Devine intervention?
That zacs and everyone else is Boris’s big attraction. He’s not dull, he has “chutzpah”
That isn’t going to work with the EU.
He may lead us with “chutzpah” into a no deal Brexit but I can’t see how that’s any better than a Theresa May “no deal Brexit”
It might be more cheerful but ....
The EU won't work with anyone who won't bend over backwards to fulfil their demands. They have the option to be reasonable by the end of October, we know they won't and thus will force a no deal. Their choice, whilst pretending that's it's ours; but it's really Hobson's choice for us. However Johnson is at least the most likely to do what has to be done.
The backstop just to remind everyone was OUR idea! Or at least an inevitable consequence of it.
We wanted: open border with Ireland and N Ireland not to be treated differently from the rest of the UK.
If we tell the DUP to get lost then an arrangement could be come to where no backstop is needed but that would mean a customs border in the Irish Sea which we’ve said we don’t want.
The other option is technical solution which Johnson seems confident of: not confident enough of it tho it would seem. Otherwise why not just go with something backstop after two years) you know is never going to be needed ...
Maybe Johnson will stitch up the DUP...
