Next Thursday the deadline for a UK/EU Brexit Deal - Brexit Update 3 - Transitional Phase

Daily Mail: Reports " Officials are working to a new deadline of next Thursday to achieve a breakthrough before a virtual summit of EU leaders. "

Lets Get Real:

The Germans and the French must be worried that they will suffer a economic hit if there is NO DEAL, the French fisherman will be up in arms if they blocked from UK waters, Germany will not like that their car exports will be taxed.  It is really is time for the Paris and Berlin to decide how much of an economic hit they can take if there is NO DEAL and how long they can support the policy like taken by the EU and the Brussels machine.  There have been endless deadlines, will Thursday really be IT, or will the talks go on in till December.   That would not leave much time for the House of Commons to debate the deal and it would rush the other 27 Parliaments to pass the deal, sight nearly unseen.  So another WEEEK ahead, when will we get an answer


What is a DEADLINE when it comes to UK/EU talks ? - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase


Lets Get Real:

The EU is trying to pull a fast one, it sees a crisis of leadership at No 10 and thinks it can get away with pushing the UK PM to accept a BAD DEAL.   The PM has given enough time for talks, the EU will never accept the FACT that the UK has left the EU.  The PM should state that NEXT WEEK is the final week, no more extensions, that either the EU gives away on UK demands or the UK will walks.   There is something to be said for just walking away and allow some water to go under the bridge and then start talks in early January, when the EU feels the effects of a NO DEAL BREXIT, the UK with COVID - 19 will not take that much damage, the economy is in the toilet anyway with the lockdowns, so as long as the PM is clear with the British people, that the fault is with the EU, the UK has never been that pro EU anyway.   Time to cut bait as they say in the fishing trade.

Yahoo News!: Reports "  Brexit standoff blamed on No 10 infighting over Cummings' departure "

Lets Get Real:

The original source for this story is the left wing Guardian, and it smells like a story that they have in mind, that the PM is under the thump of this special advisor, at the end of the day special advisors come and go, some are more special than others.  The PM has to remember that he helped get the Brexit vote in 2016 and he lead in the 2019 election.  The UK voters trusts Boris, and most do not care who Cummings is or what he has done for the PM.  It is time for the PM to get back in charge, appoint a Chief of Staff that keeps him in close contact with the MPs, he doe not want to the suffer the fate of Lady Thatcher, to much big picture and not enough hand holding of backbench MPs, who are always afraid for their SEATS.  As this blog has stated many times, the UK should go for a NO DEAL BREXIT, time to move on from the BREXIT TALKS.
