I said they had no incentive to negotiate so long as No Deal was off the table. No Deal is on the table. Make your mind up. You can't have it both ways. I don't think No Deal hurts Boris so long as there's a broadly palatable agreement with the EU that Remainers torpedo. He'll have done...

It's actually being reported that Juncker has ruled out an extension if the British government and EU agree a deal. I watched the video, but I can't tell if that's what he meant.

Makes you proud to be British *sniff*

How much violence is too much violence when getting them out of your way?

The threat of No Deal has the EU budging a little bit, but only a little bit. They still seem to be dangling a VAT sticking point now that the backstop is gone. It seems to me like this deal is something that in the end they'll only go for if they can't get an extension, and then even if the...

We need some perspective. As much as they need to understand where we're coming from we have to understand where they're coming from. We approach racial slurs with a kind of moral certitude that they're the harbingers of societal downfall, but for a country that doesn't have a history of...

The first half was mostly down to that Rice-Henderson double pivot. To me Southgate just proves over and over again that he doesn't understand the qualities needed for the midfield roles in his system. To expect Henderson of all people to receive the ball with his back to the opposition, turn...

I think the FA are just trying to send a message about playing time. They didn't give Hudson-Odoi the call until Sarri started playing him. I don't like it though, he's the best natural #8 we have in my opinion. Seeing Delph in there makes me wonder whether he's going to try a experiment with a...

I would suggest that spending those years trying to end our membership of the European Union and thus his own employment, suggests a pretty obvious aversion to the EU gravy train. There's no part of him being an MEP that isn't in line with what would reasonably be expected of someone trying to...

The Supreme Court didn't opine on whether Boris had lied to the Queen, it only ruled the prorogation unlawful based on it's length. He didn't break the law in any case. As for suspending parliament, it's something that normally happens every year, so I doubt there'd be much fuss if a Prime...

Perhaps you could enlighten us. I can't find anything duplicitous or untoward, just media appearences and the lecture circuit, same as anyone else in politics. To suggest that Farage is not an anti-EU choice is probably going to require some extraordinary evidence.

The Lib Dems are basically a fifth column at this point.

There isn't any No Deal for Germany to stop. Our parliament has voted four times now to take it off the table. The Germans have had no reason to change their stance. German manufacturing is on it's arse at present, posing a genuine risk of recession for Germany. Merkel isn't exactly one for...

The Surrender Treaty I referred to was May's deal. The 'Surrender Bill' as it's now being called, is a whole new embarrassment. Then what's the point of the extension? We've already offered solutions to the backstop. You don't need a hard border in order to control trade. There are even...

We're the fifth or sixth largest economy on the planet with proportionate hard/soft power projection. The lie being peddled that we can't excel as a soverign nation is pure lunacy. The German economy in particular stands to lose billions in cars sales were we to leave the EU without a deal, and...

The implementation period is the time during which the divorce bill is to be paid off (and technically is being paid off), but there won't be a divorce bill were we to leave without a deal. We don't pay a penny more in a No Deal scenario. I think given that I've been making these same...

We only pay into the EU budget whilst we're in the EU. We're not paying anything beyond October 31st if we leave. In which case we're back to No Deal hurting the EU, and an extension doing next to nothing. The uncertainty of EU nationals, tourism, and minor unrest in Ireland (EU caring about...

No, it's what I have been telling you in this thread since long before Boris took over. What incentive is there? Tell me? They've already agreed a deal. If No Deal is off the table then all they have to do is keep extending Article 50 to keep us inside the EU and... wait. The only leverage we...
