of course and that Always should be so, but now or at least it comes across to me like ''american goods which were first banned in britain to be imported'' and foods from Europe to be banned, while i guess there are certain favourite foods of people in britain to be banned

so this whole trade deal needs to be sorted out again, maybe extra bit of taxes on imports from europe because UK no longer being part of EU

since there's also a huge import of flowers coming from my country to the UK, wines coming in from spain, france


i'm starting to understand Brexit the more and more i read, i do agree with the ''closed borders'' thing, as for a stop to immigrants

a deal or a no deal, we dutch still want to have good relationships with Britain, since that Netherlands-UK relationship has been going on for many many years now

we dutch have good relationships with many countries in europe, apart from some eastern european countries like Ukraine

You'd put food standards at the bottom because you had a nice burger once? .. well, I'm glad you're not in charge bots

Michael Gove in 2016 - Leaving the EU will allow us to dictate the terms in our interests.

MG in 2019 - The Eu won't give us a new deal.

Quote:

The former US treasury secretary Larry Summers has said he does not believe that a “desperate” UK would manage to secure a post-Brexit trade deal with Washington, as Dominic Raab, the new foreign secretary, heads to the US to scope out the potential for such an agreement.

Summers, who was a senior official under Bill Clinton and Barack Obama, said the UK was in a weak position when it came to negotiating with trade partners.

He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme on Tuesday: “Britain has no leverage, Britain is desperate … it needs an agreement very soon. When you have a desperate partner, that’s when you strike the hardest bargain.”

If MP's allow us to go to a no deal conclusion, then they have let the public down. They are responsible

Revoking article 50 has more chance of success than a no confidence vote. There is no room for fiddling about now ....

Republican politicians said a few days ago that they will oppose ratifying any deal with Britain if the irish peace process is harmed.
Dont forget the irish lobby is very powerful there.

MPs are running out of options to stop it.
He will not take notice of any votes as they are not binding.even no confidence vote will not stop it unless theres an alternative government

Boris Johnson could simply ignore a parliamentary vote of no confidence and proceed with a no-deal Brexit followed by an election, unless MPs can form an alternative government in 14 days, a former senior judge has said.

Jonathan Sumption, a former supreme court judge, said Johnson would be entitled to stay on as prime minister even if he lost a confidence vote

Very Cocky thing he is saying,
McDonnell setting his plan (2nd day at the Fringe, Scotland)
to stop PM Johnson.
But by letting Dominic Cumming
know his plan, is not wise.

The atmosphere is pretty feral at the moment it's quite unnerving, we haven't experienced anything like this since possibly the poll tax riots.
Where there was as big a division in the commons as there is in the wider community.

Is this the new world order... we've been hearing about for so long, is it being forced through as its been planned for way before the referendum?
I'm beginning to think so.

Hey Kizzy!

I'm really intrigued by the bolded statement. Excuse my ignorance, what does it allude to?
