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

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.

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.

It's not much different from May's deal by all accounts, everything since then has been pageantry and bluster to appeal to the gullible and easily pleased.
It's a mediocre outcome but better than the one Boris wanted. When it comes to Boris Johnson, mediocrity is the best outcome we can hope for considering how much he's screwed the pooch on everything else. It won't stop Tory supporters from blindly acting like he's the second coming though. It's all quite sad. |

Looks like the hardcore left cannot even be happy and forget about parties when government have done a great job keeping all parties happy
You know Boris has done a great job though when they say he’s done “mediocre”, that means absolutely fantastic if some people are saying that who will never have anything positive to say. Well done Boris! Last edited by DouglasS; 26-12-2020 at 02:30 PM. |
