Another new Brexit thread

[BobKowalski]

Japan set a six week deadline for deal and on their terms.

Rumours of an extension being contemplated by UK government on Twitter. No doubt without using the word extension if they go for it.

Not a chance.
The only extension that could happen will be in the form of a temporary treaty with no tariffs or inspections and with no money being paid to the EU (or getting any money back)... and only then if an overarching deal can be agreed that allows the detail to be fleshed out in the following 12 months.

Tend to agree. We might want a “free customs area” or whatever we’ve tried to dress up another extension as, but can’t see the EU willing to play along again. (Unless of course it comes with budgetary contributions)

I strongly suspect that the EU 27 are continuing their No Deal preparations to the point where come the end of the month if this lot go through with the threat to disengage they will just say "bye - good luck" or even if they are better placed than us midnight the 30th June they will announce talks are no longer to take place. Best way to negotiate - turn your oppositions guns back onto them - pre-emptive strike. They can hardly argue the No Deal that the Tories seek is a dastardly EU plot.

Haven't been on Twitter but a sensible move if true.

Don't give a shit what they call it, we are not and will not be ready to exit on 31st Dec. We should take the full 2 years. It won't be long enough but better than what we are currently facing.

This could well be the first sensible move Johnson's Government has made.

Let's see.

"Best way to negotiate - turn your oppositions guns back onto them - pre-emptive strike"

But only if you are the EU of course, not the UK govt?

You lot.....what are you fucking like honestly?

Do any of you have no shame?

Welcome to the world of negotiations finally chaps.

Ah that’s what we are doing, ‘negotiating’. I kind of assumed we were just painting ourselves into a corner, insisting on unfeasible deadlines and unrealistic conditions, and then wetting ourselves when the clock ticked down to zero.

Personally I would call it ‘mind numbing stupidity’ rather than ‘negotiating’ but each to their own I guess.
