Historic Change in the Middle East - US Presidential Election 2020

BBC News: Reports " Trump hails 'dawn of new Middle East' with UAE-Bahrain-Israel deals "

Lets Get Real:

This is an historic achievement by President Trump and will help with the Middle East, the problem is that POTUS can not keep his mouth shut and is prone to texting on all things, sometimes true, sometimes not.  A more standard President would use the above event to get a 2nd term, but Trump might have sunk his own ship with his rhetoric and his failure over COVID - 19.  All the match up polls show Biden is AHEAD by 7 to 8 points, as long as he doe not mess up in the debates we are looking forward to a first Biden Administration.  One doubts that the World can cope with a 2nd Trump term.

Internal Market Bill - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " Boris Johnson's Internal Market Bill to override parts of Brexit deal clears first Commons hurdle..Despite a Tory former cabinet minister warning of "incalculable damage to our reputation all around the world", MPs pass the bill. "

Lets Get Real:

The BBC's Newsnight and Sky have really become HARD REMAINERS centre, they go about international law, what about the Sovereign right of Northern Ireland to be seen as part of the UK, the various Acts of Union makes that clear, the HARD REMAINERS will try anything to thwart BREXIT, even coming up with bogus questions that feed back to their own views on BREXIT, and that being a negative.  The PM is right in forcing his Bill through Parliament, this will show the EU that the UK can not be bullied, that we are not some small nation that must bend the knee in front of the EU.   Good job today by the PM.

Internal Market Bill - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports that the PM's Internal Market Bill has passed its first hurdle, the article states the following, " MPs backed the Internal Market Bill by 340 votes to 263.  "

Lets Get Real:

There are two weeks while the House of Commons and the House of Lords go through the BILL, line by line, if the Government majority tonight is any example, the House of Commons should be the EASY PART.   When all the former PM's came out against the deal and the USUAL remainers popped their heads over the trench to be critical, the blog is supporting the PM.  If the EU are really threatening to blockade food going from the UK to Northern Ireland, then the PM should WALK out of the talks, this is nothing else but blackmail.  The PM should remind the EU, that the UK is a sovereign nation, and that includes Northern Ireland.   One does hope that the EU has learned the lesson, that the UK will do what it takes to secure the Union and the EU can go to hell or Brussels, same place in many respects. 

UK Law over Euro Law - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " Brexit changes in Internal Market Bill will override international law, government reveals...One of the most controversial draft pieces of legislation is published to the fury of EU figures, as trade talks continue.  "

Lets Get Real:

At the end of the day, UK LAW should come FIRST over Euro law.  That the EU is angry shows that the PM's strategy might be working, force them to give concessions on the trade front, in less they want the Government to override Euro law.   The job of the PM is safeguard the UNION, and that means that he has to to whatever it takes to secure the union, from defence to trade.  As for international law, this blog will not be taking advice from the Labour Party after Iraq.  The usual hard remainers were on BBC News and Sky News, no wonder the public do not trust the media!!  One does wish that these channels looked after UK interest first not the other side.

PM comes out fighting for his Internal Markets Bill - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " Boris Johnson has urged MPs to support a bill which modifies the Brexit deal he signed with the EU in January.  "

Lets Get Real:

This could be the PM trying to force the EU to give what the UK wants in trade talks, on the one hand show something shinning, the Internal Markets Bill and then on the other hand show the EU representatives that the UK is not going to back down and that the EU must give way.  The usual HARD REMAINERS have appeared on the TV, with their usual support of the EU against the UK.  One can only hope that Conservative MPs remain united and the example of what happened to the last remainers in the last Parliament will be on their minds, they were thrown out of the Conservative Party and LOST their seats. 

This is the Week for an agreement between the UK and the EU - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " David Frost has declared that this week is make-or-break for trade talks with the EU if the UK is to avoid leaving the transition period with no deal. "

Lets Get Real:

This blog thinks the most important development today was the fact that the PM has stated that a deal has to be done by October 15th otherwise the UK will leave on a NO DEAL BREXIT, or Australian terms as stated by the PM.  Thus the EU NOW knows that it must deal this week or lose any chance of talks.  There were reports that the President of the EU would stand down the Brussels head of the EU delegation and that the EU leaders would take over, the EU President must act quickly or they could lose a trade deal with the UK. The date for that was September 16, the EU might not have the time they think, this is not the May Government and PM Johnson's might not give the time the EU wants, the starting gun has gone off, let's see who blinks first.

What the UK wants from the EU ? - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " UK chief negotiator calls for 'realism' from EU "

Lets Get Real:

The UK has to be FIRM with the EU, the EU is trying to treat the UK like a former colony, we might be a lot of things, but we are not a colony of the EU.  The two main sticking points are fish in our waters and and a level playing field, that means that the EU would have a say on UK supporting business after the COVID - 19 pandemic.  The UK is a Sovereign State, our waters and thus our fish, that is not open for debate, while a sovereign has a say on what business it supports.   These endless talks are going nowhere, time to cut bait and to tell the EU, that we are going for a NO DEAL BREXIT, also that the EU will get half of the promised divorce bill.  The German tax paper will not be happy if it has to support the other weak nations of the EU.  MONEY TALKS.
