Why would the EU make life easy for Boris? Why would they let him off the hook? Since the day he got in he has done nothing but lie, backpedal, insult, threaten. He has no power to do anything. He has no ability to keep any promise he makes, even if he wanted to (which on past performance is unlikely, the man is incapable of telling the truth).

The EU know he has no power. They know that all they have to do is wait two days and Boris is dead in a ditch - unfortunately only metaphorically.

Two days. Then we are either extending and getting another referendum or election or both. Or we are going out with all treaties torn up, losing every bargaining chip we have, and in the long term begging to be allowed to trade under far worst terms.

It's a win/win for the EU. And we did it all to ourselves.

Because the eu is sick of brexit too they are obviously happy with the deal they have made with him so why wouldn't they.They cannot keep extending indefinitely as they have their next 7 years financial plans coming up soon and need clarity on what is happening.

How the EU functions is through formal relations with the democratic governments of member states.

It does not concern itself with the domestic legislature of any member state, nor does it deal directly with any domestic legislature, only the democratic governments.

I suspect the EU will see this for what it is - domestic politics between legislature and executive - which is outwith the remit of the EU.

And they will want to avoid the trap of being blamed for forcing a No Deal exit.

The EU team will meet anyone.

Plenty of talks with Mrs Sturgeon, for example.

But when it comes to formalities, agreements can only be made with the democratic governments of member states, not any constituent part of it.

"

For whom?

People often make the mistake of thinking the EU will act in the interests of the departing member.

Why should it?

Their objective is to avoid the blame should the UK crash out.

If the UK crashes out, that must be down to a positive decision by the UK to do so.

And Parliament has already ruled that out.

No, ratification by Parliament of an international treaty between the government of the UK and the EU is an internal matter for the sovereign state to determine.

The EU won't interfere in that, which is what Johnson is asking it to do.

DUP say they won't vote for it. So Johnson needs a weird mix of enough ERG, recently expelled Tories, and Brexit-y Labour MPs to vote for this deal to get it through.

Could well be close.

I dont think it is up to the EU if the uk will ask for an extension or not is up to them, they can not start an exit relationship by hitting parliament, or the prime minister with a stick.

However appetite for an extension is low, and appetite for any more concessions is zero. So if the EU will grant an extension if asked for one or not is uncertain.

I would think any extension would be to allow Ireland and France get the ports/borders ready and then refuse all UK negotiations, as thats about where the EU is now.

Teresa May's original deal had a whole of ireland backstop which is what this deal. The DUP didn't like this so the backstop was changed to the whole of the uk this 2nd version was put to parliament which was voted down.

Yes exactly this. My response around the revenue issue was in relation to the OPs wishful thinking that somehow the EU would provide an opportunity for the UK government to somehow provide a solution to override the Benn Act. It's simply not going to happen as you realise to.

I'm not so sure now. If the HoC goes that way on Saturday, then I'm sure that the EU will allow it, rather than the No Deal option.

Juncker's comments apparently do not reflect official EU policy, but more of a desire to get this sorted in his Presidency.

Agreed. Doesn't bode well, as the next GE could well be fought on a "Remain" or Leave" single issue.

The Brexit party and the Lib-Dems are ready to pull the two major parties apart here.

A hung parliament is the last thing we need right now.

"Deal or no deal - this is the choice

MPs will be offered this Single motion on Saturday

Mp's voted against no deal. There is a Benn Act.

Not withstanding any amendments, the single motion is vote for this new deal or no deal - this will be compliant with the Surrender Act, as by voting against the deal MPs would have given consent to leaving on the 31st without a deal.

The surrender act becomes redundant

I'm not so sure now. If the HoC goes that way on Saturday, then I'm sure that the EU will allow it, rather than the No Deal option.

Juncker's comments apparently do not reflect official EU policy, but more of a desire to get this sorted in his Presidency. "

Juncker doesn’t decide on the extension, however listen out for any of the heads of state in the next 24-48 hours indicating a similar “there is a deal, an extension is not needed” type message.

"I dont think it is up to the EU if the uk will ask for an extension or not is up to them, they can not start an exit relationship by hitting parliament, or the prime minister with a stick.

However appetite for an extension is low, and appetite for any more concessions is zero. So if the EU will grant an extension if asked for one or not is uncertain.

I would think any extension would be to allow Ireland and France get the ports/borders ready and then refuse all UK negotiations, as thats about where the EU is now.The eu would be quite in its right to say no extension unless for a second referendum or election.

They have ruled out an extension. This is the deal , are you leavers happy with it?? Basically yes time to leave,I just hope enough Labour MP's will come on board to get it through

You are happy with it? So after all this time and everything you were promised. You are willing to just chuck it all in and accept the complete opposite to what you voted for instead? Strange.

-Matt

I have feeling they’ll go for the deal with an amendment to put it to the people in a second referendum..

That'll be the crucial amendment. It'll give Labour time to consolidate a position and to try and make headway in the polls.

The danger now for the Conservatives is now from the right and the Brexit Party. Its not the Brexit that Farage wants and he'll now be mobilising.

It’s inevitable that’ll they will tag on an amendment for a referendum to remain or choose the Boris deal.

Nigel will be looking for conservative scalps at the next GE as well as labour scalps...

Agreed. Doesn't bode well, as the next GE could well be fought on a "Remain" or Leave" single issue.

The Brexit party and the Lib-Dems are ready to pull the two major parties apart here.

A hung parliament is the last thing we need right now. "

we could be out before another GE depends on labour mp,s in leave constituencies i think.

I believe you're right.

I looked up the Commons library briefing paper for the Lords stage:

"Clause 1 would provide that the Prime Minister must ask the European Council for an extension to article 50(3) of the Treaty on European Union unless one of two conditions is met. These conditions are that the House of Commons has approved, and the House of Lords has had the opportunity to debate, either 1) a withdrawal agreement with the EU or 2) a statement that the UK is to leave the EU without an agreement."

On that basis, if the motion for the agreement is voted down, and that motion explicitly states the alternative, then yes it would appear the UK heads to the exit without any agreement.

Now, which party opposing the withdrawal agreement will want the blame for delivering a no deal exit?

None

The 2nd referendum amendment may gain some unexpected momentum.

It would be very unusual if the motion expressly said that failing to vote for the deal would be an official vote for No Deal. That's not how HoC voting works.

Well if knowing an extension isn't available and Parliament votes the deal down then Parliament knows full well by doing so will bring about a no deal Brexit

The majority of the labour party might like that but i cant see corbyn wanting a referendum attached as ive said all along he wants to leave has always been anti eu but cant come out and say it as its not what his party want.

This is the summary of the Bill issued by the Library of the House of Commons:

"On 4 September 2019, Hilary Benn (Labour MP for Leeds Central) introduced the European Union (Withdrawal) (No. 6) Bill in the House of Commons. The bill is a private member’s bill, formally supported by several independent MPs as well as MPs from all opposition parties. The purpose of the bill is to ensure that the UK does not leave the EU on the 31 October 2019 without a withdrawal agreement, unless Parliament approves such a course of action. The bill provides that if that the House of Commons has not approved (and the House of Lords has not had the opportunity to debate) either a withdrawal agreement with the EU or a statement that the UK is to leave the EU without an agreement, the Prime Minister is obliged to ask the European Council for an extension to Article 50(3) of the Treaty on European Union. The bill also requires the Prime Minister to accept such an extension if it is offered."

I take your point about how voting in the House of Commons works.

I imagine the Government business people will be framing the business on Saturday in a way that meets the above, and allows the UK to exit on Oct 31 if Parliament turns down the offer of an agreement.

No, because an extension isn't and won't be off the table.

A referendum on the terms of exit negotiated by a Labour Government is the policy of the Labour Party.

It's not a great leap to support a referendum on the terms of exit negotiated by a Conservative Government.

The trade deal is still to be negotiated so the easiest way for labour or the tories to get the "leave" that they want is to agree the withdrawal agreement have a GE and the winner will get to negotiate it.

No it isn't. A soft Brexit with a customs union and single market membership would have been acceptable to Labour, and a lot of Remain voters like myself.

That's highly debatable, but also besides the point. It wouldn't have had to be a formal single market membership, in fact what got most Labour votes during the indicative vote was customs union + close alignment to the single market.

The point is, there are deals the Tories could have done to gain Labour support. I understand (without sympathy, but I understand) why the Tories didn't, but this isn't a stick to hit Labour with.

Leavers were told 101 things. Not least the idea of not being in the area covered by the EEA was "silly".

It was actually Cameron that said it, many many times.

That's highly debatable,

How is a Fact debatable, that's really really going on a journey to the funny farm "

It wasn't on the referendum, was it?

I notice you snip out the rest of my post saying that that isn't relevant to the point being discussed Gotta love when people can't back up their argument and try and move to a new one.

Remember all member states of the EU have to also sign off on this deal. Just needs one of them who is pissed off with Bo Jo to say no and the deal is scuppered. Which European leader would have the balls?

"They didn't say then "You must accept this agreement by March 31, 2019 or leave without one" and I doubt if they will say now "You must accept this agreement by October 31 or leave without one".

no they didnt but must have now seen that keep extending does not change a thing and in fact makes things worse."

Extension offers the opportunity to negotiate but they will always be limited by the quality of the UK PM that they have to deal with . It's not in the EUs or UKs best interests to have no deal, so it's reasonable to extend, as the costs of no deal amount to $billions - and full trade agreement negotiations will take many more years to come anyway.

They have been right to load responsibility upon Johnson, as he's obviously been wanting to push blame away from himself

De facto yes, but that won't happen. But remember it has to get approval by the uk parliament and that is unlikely to happen and with that back to square one. It's like an endless snake and ladder game nobody can win.

If he loses the vote and has to extend he goes into the election blaming parliament for not letting it pass. He then campaigns as the party who got a deal and will take UK out. Biggest poll since referendum yesterday showed greater swing to leave at 54/46% than the 52/48%.

This suggests he wins with a majority of c.+30 seats he then legislates accordingly and re-opens EU deal with improve it or no Deal threat and we leave for certain.

"Deal or no deal - this is the choice

MPs will be offered this Single motion on Saturday

Mp's voted against no deal. There is a Benn Act.

Not withstanding any amendments, the single motion is vote for this new deal or no deal - this will be compliant with the Surrender Act, as by voting against the deal MPs would have given consent to leaving on the 31st without a deal.

The surrender act becomes redundant

"

Exactly.

The surrender act only requires that the PM requests an extension if he has not secured a deal with the EU.

Now that he has, it falls on parliament to either vote for it or against it.

Jean Claude Junker has stated that, now a deal has been found, there is no need to prolong matters.

When asked to clarify if that meant no further extensions, he said 'yes'

Here's the question. If the purpose of requesting an extension is to secure a deal, now that we have one (regardless of how awful it is), why would the EU agree to a further extension? It would serve no purpose

Where does johnson get the numbers from to get this treaty ratified?

I'd say it's a close call whether this will get through or the amendment requiring the agreement to be put to the people for endorsement.

That said, I think there is a case for a referendum - for the people of Northern Ireland only, to check they are happy to have one foot in the EU and one foot in the UK.

They are being removed from the EU, against their will, by voters in England, so their voices for once should be heard and acted upon on an issue that affects NI only.

Juncker has been contradicted by donald tusk and others. At the moment the eu and uk have a deal no need to have an extension. If parliament votes the deal down then an extension will be asked for as per the benn act and the noises coming from the eu means it will be given.

Boris played his cards well. Closing a deal with the EU at terms which will not pass the commons , well he delivered a deal and doesn’t need to ask for extension and even if he does , the EU is worn out on the topic , so he may ask but in a manner safe enough to have the EU turn down the request , delivering him his desired NoDeal Brexit after all

The poll he’s referring to has been misinterpreted apparently .This polling came with "caveats" as it was a three-way poll, it was adding together different Brexit options.The polling actually found that Remain is the strongest option with 42% of support, with support for a deal at 30% and no-deal Brexit support at 20%.

A new referendum could give Remain 40%, Boris Deal 30% and No Deal 30%.

In that scenario, who actually wins?

"

The objective of the EU is to secure an orderly exit for the UK, as per the legal requirements of Article 50.

It now has an agreement with the UK Government (for the second time) to do that.

So, from the EU side of things, it has complied with the requirements of Article 50.

In that sense, there is no need for an extension - hence the comments of Juncker.

That fact that the UK Government has lost all control domestically is beyond their remit.

The EU can do no more than reach an agreement with the government of the member state.

You're living in the BREXIT world of hope over reality. The EU is not going to slam the door either now or at anytime in the future. The choice before Parliament will be May's original deal of 2017 or extend.

Who is going to bring mays original deal back? you're still living in the remain land of fantasy

Johnson's deal is May's original deal. Northern Ireland remains in effect in the EU's customs union with a border down the Irish Sea. So not only are we leaving the EU's single market and customs union we're also breaking up the UK's single market and customs union. Well done Boris - and he calls himself a one nation unionist - don't make me laugh.

In fairness to Boris. He doesn't give two shits about keeping NI within the Union. It is irrelevant to his agenda.

He told you that did he "

You can tell how bankrupt the Leave campaign was when, three years later, the predictions of doom and gloom by their opponents become the justification for why people voted to Leave.

Well quite, I'm glad you agree - it was indeed not relevant to what you had to say, because you were trying to change the subject.

I was demonstrating you were wrong to say that Labour would vote against any deal 'even if it cured cancer'. They would have voted for a soft Brexit with a CU and SM membership/alignment.

My use of 'highly debatable' was in response to your claim that being part of or aligned to the SM was ruled out. It clearly wasn't. What Cameron said had zero impact on anything.

If you were merely saying that some people said Brexit would not involve SM membership/alignment, then fine, but again that is irrelevant to the point.

What some people said before the referendum would not stop Labour agreeing to a soft Brexit.

This has indeed required far more explanation than necessary.

I struggle to see Boris really would leave with a so called 'No deal'.

Two weeks before the referendum, he was fronting a video to Turkey telling them "*splutter* You should jolly well come and *splutter* JOIN the EU *bluh*"

And I'm sure he wanted to remain until shortly before the referendum.

I maintain Boris is a remainer trojan horse, and his orders are likely to hoover up the leave vote from I would presume Brexit, seeing the only other 2 leave parties are what's left of UKIP and... the BNP (wish I could type that in tiny letters).

Then once that's done, the door can finally open and Boris can stumble out.

I'll believe a 'No Deal Boris' when I see it. I don't expect to see it.
