These claims are not even denied by BoJo's team, clearly because they are 100% true with significant evidence to back them up. Multiple EU sources have accused him of basically lying about the negotiations. The EU negotiators have confirmed they are available to meet daily but there are not daily meetings taking place as there is nothing brought forward to discuss, if this was not true it would be very easy to disprove it.
It is David Davis all over again. Big hitters of the leave movement simply refusing to go into bat to get the easy deal they all promised us. They just want to blame the EU when it all falls apart, a pantomime that we have seen before.
So:
Step 1. establish clarity that the backstop must be removed - nothing else needed
Step 2. discuss the opportunity to use 'alternative arrangements' and to implement an effective standstill/transition period following 31/10/19 during which details will be finalised and embedded into a future agreement
Step 3 - place the EU in a position where they have no time to dissemble and they either go with that of they execute No-Deal and do that before you
Step 4 - place Westminster in a position where they have no time to dissemble and they either go with that of they execute No-Deal
Step 5. Leave and then negotiate during the transition period
Seemed quite an obvious approach and has the benefit of ending this farce either way - of course until Westminster's last throw(s) of the dice
?? strange question
Was never used - was never even threatened
The key words are 'viable' and 'political will to use it'
Likely just another use of the tactic to be abusive and argumentative - and when they successfully provoke someone to step out of line run for cover and highlight the words of the person who was provokedYes it does. I thought I'd given multiple reasons for that and explained it in simple enough terms for you to understand.
Just repeating the same old shite again and again doesn't make it any more true. No Deal will be worse, actually much worse, for us than for the EU. The EU would cope with it if they had to and would help RoI out of the mess that we would put them in. There would be no-one to help us out of our mess and we would become America's bitch within a year if we didn't go crawling back to Brussels for a deal.?? strange question

Obviously I mean the Brexit threads over the last 3 years. Don’t be pedantic.
I’ve just never seen you at all and then you’ve come on talking as if you’ve always been here.
I just found it odd.
Stop clinging to David Davis's incompetence - he was hamstrung by May, Robbins and Hammond - as were others.

There does not need to be a 'massive engagement' - just one thing agreed to and the EU know what it is.
If I may there is a difference between the two.A laughable oversimplification.
What is the difference between a standstill agreement and an extension?
Funny that because I don't recall you posting on the Brexit thread when I was active last summer. What other username do you post under by the way?
There's something afoot I tell ye.

This is the only one.
No need to be so defensive about it.
Breaking where?
See nothing on the news websites as yet?
If I may there is a difference between the two.
With an extension we are still officially a member of the Union and could revoke article 50.
With a standstill agreement we are out officially with no way to revoke, but would continue with our current position with the European Union but no longer officially a member.
The next 12 months would put us in a position where we would need to negotiate some sort of relationship with the EU.
And half of them will still be pissed off, even if we left, because it won't have been on the terms that they wanted.No,I'm supportive of making the best out of the pile of shit we've been put in.
Revoking will piss off approx half the electorate.
Looks like my prediction that we'll still be in the EU this time next year might just come true. You can actually get 4/7 with Paddy Power that we don't leave this year if anyone fancies a punt
And half of them will still be pissed off, even if we left, because it won't have been on the terms that they wanted.
"I didn't vote for vassalage!"
"I didn't vote to still be paying the EU money!"
"Leave means Leave!"
Fuck them. Fuck Brexit.
Revoke!
From that:
"A UK government statement said: "We have now shared in written form a series of confidential technical non-papers which reflect the ideas the UK has been putting forward."
What I want to know is wtf is a non-paper?
Its Hotel California baby!
