Boris Johnson lands a great Brexit deal
 
https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-55429840

Copy and paste feature on my phone isn’t working so can’t copy the article so I’ve linked it.

Need some positivity floating about and Boris has kept both sides happy with this Brexit deal (both Europe and the U.K.) :clap1:

Well done to Boris

DouglasS 24-12-2020 07:38 PM

My brother works in the government and everyone is so chuffed with The deal Boris managed to achieve, basically have removed the U.Ks obligations whilst maintains the trade as norm. :clap1:

i think he has done well and deserves a lot of credit given so many said he only wanted a no deal brexit. It was always going to be a compromise, and one that has both sides happy is a great outcome

I always knew BJ wouldnt disappoint

Withano 24-12-2020 10:13 PM

It’s basically the same deal T May made. The one everyone voted against and Bojo resigned over.

Had Labour won in December 2019 or there been a coalition after that election.
A deal certainly would have been assured.

The Lib Dem policy of stopping brexit was utterly ridiculous.

I feared a no deal was looming, under Johnson, egged on by his harder line Ministers.
However, indeed, I'm really pleased a deal has been struck, the EU seems content with it too.
So absolutely, I welcome this deal, I dreaded a no deal scenario, so absolutely this outcome is welcome.

If some of his harder line backbenchers are unhappy with it, then I'm further pleased Labour will be lined up to support it too.

That's the right thing to do, as I think it's important parliament supports this by the biggest possible margin.

So yes, well done to Johnson and the negotiators on both sides, the EU and UK.
At least for the foreseeable future the moving on from this can start to be and can be done too.

BJ will go down in history as one of the greats. in fact get a statue up in parliament square now.

smudgie 25-12-2020 11:08 AM

Thank goodness it’s sorted.
Now hopefully we can get back to some kind of normal......ohhh beggar, there is still covid to deal with.
Well done to all the negotiators on both sides.

LeatherTrumpet 25-12-2020 11:47 AM

no doubt next week we will have a new strain of no-deal brexit and we will have to go back to the negotiating table or the EU will be ovverrun..D:

Politics needs to go back to being boring again. It's been far too dramatic in the last few years.

I agree.

Hopefully everyone can come together regardless of their party beliefs and celebrate Boris’s victory, much like Joey has. Not everything has to be a battle :)

Mystic Mock 25-12-2020 03:41 PM

I don't know if it'll be a great deal, but at least it's not a no deal Brexit.

rusticgal 25-12-2020 06:18 PM

I love Boris....pulled it off. He has had a lot on his plate during his short time as PM. Brexit plus Covid...he deserves some credit.

Just shows that BoJos job is more secure than TMays was. Labour leader is voting it through because it’s marginally better than a no deal, not because it’s a good deal.

The Slim Reaper 26-12-2020 10:50 AM

I don't think folks understand what great means, because this isn't it. We've gone from "they'll be begging is for a deal" to being poorer and with fewer rights.

No one would go into a salary negotiation, come out with a paycut, then call it a great deal. The folly of accepting 4th best in exchange for mythical sovereignty that this deal doesn't achieve.

To be fair, they probably would if they had demanded a pay rise in a huff and then gone into the meeting expecting to be fired.

bitontheslide 26-12-2020 11:23 AM

The May deal was pretty much going to tie us to all the EU rules and regs so it is completely different to anything May came up with

Its a trade deal, that's what people are failing to grasp. In itself its ok. Boris never set out to have integration with the EU, that's why we left. We voted not to be part of the united states of europe and that's what we now have. Also, lets not kid ourselves, both sides were desperate to have a deal, thats why drop dead dates were continuously revised. I voted remain, but I am completely fed up with the whole thing now. We have a baseline that is not as catastrophic as it could have been and future governments are free to negotiate revised terms as and when they want

The Slim Reaper 26-12-2020 11:41 AM

"Not as catastrophic as it could have been" doesn't work quite as well on the side of a bus. The greatest con ever pulled on the nation, that will cost us for decades to come until we rejoin..
