...I hate to think what the financial cost of this all to the country...it would have gone a long way to address some shortfalls in making ‘Britain great again..’....instead lets pop it in the Brexit pot in case we find we don’t know what the heck we’re doing...

Black Friday? not the dawn of your "independence " from bad eu?
Quickly to be replaced by servitude to the " glorious" US

In my opinion, as soon as Johnson was elected we were always going to be facing a no deal exit, no time to broker a new deal and get it through, his refusal to go Brussels etc shows his contempt for the EU so we will just have to buckle up and get prepared for crashing out hard

Bloody Phil.

Baroness Ros Altman who I admire greatly.
On the papers review last night.
Supported Labours view this was a waste of taxpayers money.

She rightly pointed out if, as Johnson says its a million to one chance of leaving with no deal.
Then this is a total waste of money.

She also indicate Conservative MPs opposed to no deal were not going to sit back.

The point is, there are Conservatives who see this spending as ever growing and wasteful.

As like Baroness Altman, who is a highly respected Conservative peer, did you watch her?

She stated no deal is wrong, the PM is stating no deal is a million to one to happen, so why has 6 billion been spent on it.
She further indicated Conservative MPs opposed to it, will not allow it to happen.
Conservative MPs who will have the power.

Sure Altman
House Of Lords
is against this,
But it will not be stopped.

[A day after the U.S. Federal Reserve reduced rates
for the first time since the global financial crisis,
the Bank of England said it still expected
to raise borrowing costs gradually - though this
now hinged on a global pick-up as
well as a “smooth” Brexit.

“Profound uncertainties over the
future of the global trading system
and the form that Brexit will take
are weighing on UK economic
performance,”
Bank of England Governor Mark Carney said
after the announcement.
“Until they are resolved,
shifting perceptions of these factors
will drive volatility in market interest rates,
equity prices and currencies’ values.”


With new Prime Minister Boris Johnson
committed to taking Britain
out of the European Union on Oct. 31 - regardless
of whether he can secure a transition deal - markets see
increased risks of a disorderly, no-deal Brexit. ]

Baroness Altman was talking about MPs not the Lords last night.

If it was blocked by Parliament and a general election ensued.

I wouldn't bet anything on voters backing a no deal Conservative manifesto.
