Internal Market Bill - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase


Lets Get Real:

The Conservative Government has offered to remove the most damaging clauses if there is a TRADE DEAL, as a safe guard the Government has added the clauses removed by the House of Lords in case there is no TRADE DEAL.  This offer should show that the UK is willing to deal, but we are a sovereign nation, and the EU must respect that, if not the PM should walk away from the talks.   The PM must not show weakness, he must not sell out UK fishermen or allow EU regulations to regulate the UK economy, time is limited for both sides, next few days will be interesting ( how many times have I written that over the years ) !

Our Boris off to Brussels - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase


Lets Get Real:

The UK and EU delegations in Brussels have gotten nowhere, so why is the PM going to the EU.  There could be a chance of deal, like he did with the Irish PM, but in this context he will have to deal with the French and Germans, and also his ERG will be looking over his shoulder to make sure that he does not sell out UK interests to be popular with the EU and the French.   On the other hand the PM might want to show that he tried everything before throwing in the towel and calling the talks to a HALT and going for a NO DEAL BREXIT.  It is unknown when the PM is going, it could be Tuesday or even Friday as some have suggested, also there is a EU Summit going on in Brussels on Thursday, the PM will not want to be like PM May, stuck in a room waiting news from the EU.  Only a fool would make a prediction on the outcome.
