A Brexit Deal and the Houses of Parliament - Brexit Update 3 - Transitional Phase


Lets Get Real:

The devil is in the detail, the ERG must make sure that the Brexit Deal gives the UK back its sovereignty after decades tied to the EU.  A rushed parliamentary process allows for a weak deal that allows for a backdoor access to UK law by the EU.  The Conservative Government is lucky, the Labour leader has made it clear that Labour will back ANY DEAL, it wants the issue to go away and it wants to win back the red wall voters it lost in 2019.  The negative signals by Boris Johnson could ALL be PR, come out with a deal and then push it through the House of Commons and the Lords.   On the other hand there still could be a NO DEAL, that would be best for the UK, cut ALL links with the EU, then start afresh with talks.   Few days of interesting politics.
