Even if we get a deal with the non democratic houses of parliament pass it?

That's it isn't it.

No matter what Boris brings back "if anything" it's meaningless unless Parliament approve it and that's Boris's problem with having a -40 odd majority and Corbyn saying he will instruct his MP's to vote down basically whatever the Treaty may be.

The sovereignty of parliament m - which was emphasized so much by the people wanting brexit, is important. As the PM has proven that he's untrustworthy, it's essential that parliament scrutinizes any proposal and votes on its acceptability.

I don't see that there is time and so it will run over.

Ohh what's the point in that?

Might as well remain rather than a pretence of leaving but still having the important control in Brussels, since that was the main point of leaving.

Boris isn't a leaver but he's definitely a better actor than May. I'd have thought they'd rather go down the delay-til-they-can-get-a-second-referendum route since that's worked previously. But maybe the increasing threat of peasants revolting if Oct 31st comes and goes has forced their hand into a pile of crap deal which will be called Brexit.

I doubt many people on either side voted for that.

I totally forgot to say any deal would be Schrodinger's Brexit:

Simultaneously in the EU, and not in the EU. With no one happy except the 0.01% who still plan to get their mitts on our military.

Speaking of which, is it only recently that the British army are now wearing EU badges and the Union Jacks have gone?

The Union Jacks appear to still be there but the EU badge definitely takes precedence which I think says a lot.

What utter conspiracy crap from last year.

From the UK Defence Journal:

"The Permanent Joint Headquarters (PJHQ) has confirmed to us that British soldiers in Bosnia have not changed their shoulder insignia, contrary to a wildly shared tweet from the ‘Veterans for Britain’ group. "

British troops have a blue berets and a UN insignia when we are serving with them. Disgusting subjugation of our right to be confused with one of the warring factions and get shot at.

Now, tell us about how vaccinations are a a bad thing.

About 70 Conservative MPs say they will meet on Saturday to decide whether to support or object to their leader.

WTF?

Presumably, if they vote against their leader on such an important issue, Johnson will expel them, just as he did with 25 other Conservative MPs a few weeks ago?

People only voted to leave, Boris's deal will be leaving the EU, just like May's deal delivered on the referendum result to leave the EU but leavers don't want to leave with the looks of it.

So basically we're back to the original withdrawal agreement of 2017. Northern Ireland effectively stays in the EU's custom union and we have a customs' border down the Irish Sea.

The DUP rejected that deal back then and are rejecting it again now. You've got to love these DUP guys. There whole rezidentura for backing BREXIT in the first place was the rather shortsighted believe that, in weakening the ties between the UK and the EU they would also weaken the ties between Belfast and Dublin leading to a strengthening of the ties between Belfast and London. It now seems ever more clearer that in fact BREXIT will weaken the ties between Belfast and London while strengthening the ties between Belfast and Dublin: Of course the DUP is going to oppose it.

Ah, it's not the EU saying the EU has agreed a deal.

It's Boris Johnson saying the EU has agreed a deal.

Many a slip twixt cup and lip when you make the mistake of setting out the position of third parties, rather than setting out your own.

It's been the hallmark of Brekshit from day one - people declaring what others would do for them.

On the face of things this actually seems worse than May's deal. That had an element of maintaining regulatory alignment; Johnson's deal puts up trade barriers. And makes life a lot harder for business in NI.

But I imagine Brexiteers will try and spin it as a better deal because they like Johnson more than May, basically.

This is basically Theresa May's original deal. She had to change the whole of Ireland backstop to whole of uk one because of pressure from the DUP. This deal just like all the canada minus minus type deals will never get through parliament.

But "the deal" is the same deal May got back in 2017 and which Johnson, Davies, Mogg and the DUP rejected then. We could have had this deal two years ago. Why is it a good deal now but it wasn't a good enough deal back then? What's changed?

It appears that all that's really changed is the termination mechanism for the backstop for Northern Ireland.

Whereas previously it could be terminated only with the joint agreement of the UK and the EU, it now appears to be a decision for Stormont once every four years.

And the way it is set up it will be virtually impossible for the DUP to terminate the backstop. They know this hence why they can never support this deal same as they could never support TM's original deal.

Northern ireland would in the UK Customs union but follow all the rules of the eu customs union and be oversaw by eu rules wise in regard to customs. So northern ireland would in the uk customs union in name only really.

I've got a horrible sense of deja-vue! British PM has tried to negotiate a good deal. Has to take it to House of Commons for approval. House of Commons majority is to remain in EU so will reject deal for whichever reason they give to make it seem as if they have British interests at heart and once again there will be stalemate.

"If we wanted to do free trade deals, if we wanted to cut tariffs or vary our regulation, then we would have to leave Northern Ireland behind as an economic semi-colony of the EU and we would be damaging the fabric of the union," he said.

"With regulatory checks and even customs controls between GB and NI on top of those extra regulatory checks down the Irish sea that are already envisaged in the Withdrawal Agreement.

"No British Conservative government could or should sign up to anything of the kind, and so our answer at the moment is rather desperately to make sure the whole UK stays in the backstop with the EU having the power to decide whether or not we can ever leave and why should they?"

Their objective is an orderly exit, one that minimises the collateral damage.

They are less worried about an extension than they are about Johnson's determination to leave without or without an agreement.

A disorderly exit maximises the collateral damage.

Daily Mash summary:

Can anything stop Boris Johnson? Yes

18th October 2019

IS Boris Johnson, armed with a fresh Brexit deal the sceptics said he could never get, now unstoppable? Nah. Here’s why.

His massive unpopularity

The country’s loathing of Jeremy Corbyn, who last week was voted less popular than expressing your cat’s anal glands, has blinded many to the fact that Boris Johnson is himself less popular than stepping barefoot on Lego. This may prove a hindrance.

It requires the support of people who hate him

It’s not easy to get people who’ve despised you for years to help you, particularly if you’ve ruthlessly sacked them. Boris expects this help, but only because he is Britain’s most entitled man.

Everything he’s tried so far has failed

Returning from Europe with a bold new deal, giving nobody time to check the details and passing it on a Saturday is pure Boris theatre. Just like prorogation and all the other stuff that failed. Politics isn’t a Netflix show about politics where that crazy idea might just work.

Northern Ireland might matter

In a classic reverse ferret, Boris has moved from resigning over Northern Ireland to completely screwing Northern Ireland over within 15 months. The ERG may also be a problem here, although it’s hard to tell because they are hardcore nutters who call themselves ‘Spartans’ when they are in fact tubbies like Mark Francois.

He does rather mess things up

The prime minister does have a habit of unforced errors. The right-wing press has decided this doesn’t matter because he’s the new Trump, but that’s not working out for Trump right now. Giving a fruity American bird free taxpayer cash may backfire too.

Well slap my knee and call me Bernard! It's looking like the UK could... leave... sort of.

So they rejected Treason's deal, which Farage made me laugh by saying it's the kind of deal you'd make if you lost a war, but they're accepting this one which I hear is worse?

Something still isn't sitting quite right here. I think there could be a sting in the tail yet.

Also,

===================

***BREAKING NEWS***

===================

*Morse code style news bulletin music plays...*

Guy Verhofstadt aka Hitler (yes sorry I know it's cheap but he really does act and kinda looks a bit like him) said this on twitter:

"Since Trump became President, the US is not a reliable ally anymore. High time for a European Army to take matters in our hands." (sic)

Well I think if that wasn't settled before it should be now. Honestly I've banged that drum because it's true and based on real things people are saying and doing.

I'm still not aware of the EU army, or anything to do with it, ever being reported on the popular news. Quelle surprise.

Verhofstadt is one MEP.

There is no EU army.

Nobody would have to join one.

Priti Patel is the UK Home Secretary and supports the death penalty.

The death penalty does not exist in the UK.

Nobody has to introduce the death penalty.

Is that more or less likely to happen?

Though that helps, it's not just the wannabe Fuhrer who said that. Merkel's talked publicly about it too, though used the PC "EU military unification". Macron's pushing it hard too, and it's not hard to see why - he'd love to avail himself of an entire EU army to stamp out the peasants revolt.

A supporter replied on twitter

"Yep, great idea. Banding lots of small armies together leads to a stronger, more efficient and more diverse (militarily speaking) force that's better able to stand up to bullies."

It's also better able to BE a bully.

At least we've moved away from the EU army supposedly being a fantasy 'conspiracy theory'.

NATO is. Rubbish idea then?

We can be stronger militarily in our own or doing what the USA or China want?

Anyone can talk about an "EU" army in the same way.

There is already a coordinated command structure. That's what security cooperation is.

We still do not have to join anything.

Do you actually get that?

And to point it out yet again the European Union cannot force the UK into any European Union Army against our will if it ever became a serious possibility

Why is this so difficult to understand for you?
