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

Yahoo! Finance: Reports " European Union officials say it’s make-your-mind-up time for Boris Johnson. Does he want a trade deal with the bloc, or not?  "

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.

The STATE of BREXIT - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

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.

NO Brexit DEAL this WEEK - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Daily Express: Reports " Brexit deadline MISSED: EU talks extended again as Barnier pushes deal to the wire...BREXIT talks will miss the mid-November deadline with wrangling between the UK and European Union expected to continue into next week. "

Lets Get Real:

Thus another extension to talks, this is getting silly and playing in to the hands of the EU, when will get a DEAL, December 31st, that would be far to late, and plays the EU game, pushing the talks on and on and then the EU giving us a bad deal or no deal.  Over the weekend the PM should get his EU delegation together and his No 10 staff to game out how these talks are going to end.  Any agreement needs to to be passed by the House of Commons and by the 27 Parliaments of the EU.  The EU is playing its OLD GAME, endless talks, in till the other side gives up.  The PM has to be FIRM, a quick agreement or the UK walks.

Brexit and Wales - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " Firms not ready for transition, says Welsh minister "

Lets Get Real:

This is typical of the Remainers argument, either way WALES and the other regions of the UK are leaving the EU on December 31st, and January will be a NEW DAWN for the UK.  The mood music from the EU/UK talks seem good, but they have been a long time, and the core difficulties remain.  The left wing Guardian reported that this week was the deadline, that the House of Commons and the Parliaments of the other EU Countries need time to pass the the deal.  The talks have to reach a end as some point, and it can not be the December 31st, no more extensions or delays.   The clock is ticking, what will be the result, we shall see.

The House of Lords and Brexit - Brexit Update - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " Government suffers huge defeats as top Tories join attacks on 'ridiculous and immoral' bill....The government has already vowed to reinstate the clauses them when the legislation returns to the Commons. "

Lets Get Real:

The House of Lords could be singing pass the graveyard, the  confirmed will of the British people has been shown in the votes of 2016 and 2019, if their Lordships want to play silly buggers, then the House of Commons might need to vote or removing their LORDSHIPS.  At this stage it is not needed, as the article states, the UK Government will put the clauses removed by the Lords back in to the UK Internal Market Bill when it returns to the House of Commons.   The Hard Remainers still do not understand that the PEOPLE have voted and they LOST.  The time for a UK/EU DEAL is very short, in the view of the Guardian, it needs to be done so it can be bought back to the House of Commons for a deal and for it to be passed by the EU.  Time is SHORT. 

Wear a Mask - President - Elect Biden - Biden Era/Health

BBC News: Reports " US President-elect Joe Biden has appealed to Americans to wear a mask as the best way to "turn this pandemic around".  "

Lets Get Real:

Thus two good news stories today, a vaccine could be around the corner by Christmas and the President - Elect Biden has asked Americans to wear a MASK.  The wearing of a mask had become political during the Presidential race, if you were a Biden supporter you wear a Mask as the President - Elect does, if you're a Trump supporters you do not believe the the threat from COIVD - 19 is REAL.   Well the Presidential race is over and Biden won, the US voter should listen to Biden, give him the benefit of doubt and follow his request, WEAR A MASK, in the UK we having been doing that for ages.   The vaccine will take time to get to everyone, people in the UK and USA will have to wait their turn, life is not simple.
