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

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

Remembering Kerry

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. |

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..

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

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

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.

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.

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 |

"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..
