A Brexit Deal? - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " Michael Gove says chance EU trade deal will be struck about 66%...A Whitehall source tells Sky News "there has been a little bit of progress" on one of the key stumbling blocks. "

Lets Get Real:

As Sky News is just after BBC News when it comes to REMAIN CENTRAL, one has to careful that they over reading something they want, that is the same with the BBC, if by next week it is clear that there can be NO DEAL, expect the BBC and Sky to blame the UK Government, that is their default position.  That is why a new 24/7 news channel welcome.   Of course if there can be an agreement with the EU, that is good, it would help with COVID - 19 but not at any cost.  The UK after December 31st can start to do new trade deals around the World.   The US will be difficult, with Biden in the White House the Oval with look to the Republic of Ireland for its default position.  Brexit NEVER gets boring!!

All in, What are your cards? - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " 'Put cards on table' over trade deal, says EU "

Lets Get Real:

If you keep up with the BREXIT NEWS, either we are darn close to a DEAL or the PM is about to walk away.   The PM has set a 15th of October deadline for either a deal or the UK walks.  The PM has to be careful that the EU is not playing him, keeping him in talks as a way to get a better deal at the end.   If by the 15th talks are going nowhere, the PM should walk, treat the EU as it has treated the UK for years if not decades.   If the problem is FISH, then the PM can not grant to many concessions, otherwise it will look a sell out to the EU.  The economic damage done by COVID - 19 can not be as BAD as a NO DEAL BREXIT, the UK is always strong by itself, its a position we have been before.

POTUS Home after Hospital Treatment - US Presidential Election

BBC News: Reports " US President Donald Trump has left hospital, three days after being admitted with Covid-19, vowing to be back on the campaign trail soon.  "

Lets Get Real:

President Trump must know that he will fail to get a 2nd term, the COVID - 19 shock has not seen an increase in his poll numbers, and the economic collapse is still going on.  One can expect POTUS to be the last showman, he will not be happy to be tied to the White House, he will demand to go out to see his ever loyal base.  All VP Biden has to do, is not get COVID - 19 and bring some dignity back to the Presidency.  The 24/7 news channels are obsessed with the idea that Trump is hiding his real health status, thus a reason for his cocktail of drugs to fight COVID - 19.   When we get a Biden Presidency it will be nice to have a quite time, no tweets, no self promoted press conferences.  The Trump Presidency has shown the limit of a TV Reality show President. 

POTUS goes to Hospital due to COVID - 19 - US Presidential Election/Health

Guardian - Live Blog: Reports in its 10.23pm the following, " Trump to be hospitalized 'for the next few days' in the wake of Covid diagnosis  "

Lets Get Real:

The news that POTUS has gotten COVID - 19 has been the top story of the day, at the start of the day CNN was acting as if POTUS has to proof to them that he was sick, and if anyone cares what CNN thinks, in less your left wing loon.  That network gave the right to be taken in serious manner when it forgot it was a news channel.  Even its founder Ted Turner stated that it had gotten to much in to the political news.  Whatever you think of Trump, he is still President of the United States and should be treated as such, its the job of CNN to report the news not comment on every aspect.  If you think Fox News IS the state TV with POTUS, wait in till Biden takes over, it will be puff stories all day from CNN on a Biden Presidency.   The President has been taken to hospital out of caution, should things get worse, and no one wants that, in less your left wing loon, then the VP will take over, its in the Constitution. 

EU and UK Leadership Talks Tomorrow - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " Brexit: 'Persistent' differences remain says EU as UK trade talks deadline looms...It comes as Boris Johnson and the head of the EU Commission prepare to "take stock" in a call this weekend. "

Lets Get Real:

The tone from Sky has been pro EU for years, they have followed the BBC News, they even trade reporters, no wonder the mindset is inner London.  If the BBC is to tax the public every year then it  should represent the majority of the population, and the last time this blog looked, the UK voter voted to leave the EU, and placed a majority Conservative Government there to get it done.  It is reported that a new News channel will start in the UK next year, let's hope we have new faces ( Not BBC OR Sky old faces ).   Also it should represent the public, if not it will fail.  No one is asking for a RIGHT WING news channel like Fox News, but it would be nice of the news channel showed some respect for its viewers and not disdain them.   Time will tell.

The VIDEO Summit Tomorrow between the UK and the EU - Brexit Update 1 - Transitional Phase

BBC News: Reports " Boris Johnson has said it is now up to the EU to avoid a no-deal scenario over post-Brexit trade.  "

Lets Get Real:

With the News that POTUS has COVID - 19 the latest talks between the UK and EU have been overshadowed, the talks did not come to an agreement and the PM has stated that it is now up to the EU to see if a we get a DEAL.  One gets the impression that the EU is just stalling, hoping that the UK will just give up and agree to a deal that suites the EU.  The problem seems to come from the French who want to make a deal on fish that goes on forever, and in their fisherman's interest.  Thus it will be interesting to see what comes out of the talks tomorrow, will the EU move, can German muzzle Paris over its demand for UK fish.  There are limits on how much concessions that the PM can give, he had to deal with the right wing of his Party.

Sabre rattling with WORDS - Part 2 - Brexit Update 2 - Transitional Phase

Sky News: Reports " EU taking legal action over PM's controversial Internal Market Bill - but does it matter?...Brussels claims Boris Johnson is breaching the "good faith" both sides signed up to in the withdrawal agreement. "

Lets Get Real:

As the article notes if both sides, the EU and the UK can get a trade deal then the Internal Market Bill will not matter.  Tomorrow will be interesting, the talk update will be given to the press, if the talks are to go on then there has been progress, let's recall that the PM has given the 15th of October as a deadline, if there is common ground then the talks can go on, but if the EU is just not moving on let's say fish then the UK can blame the French, the French President us under pressure from his fishing community not to give concessions, the UK PM might have to sell a concession that the UK would allow for a three year phased withdraw of EU ships from UK water and fish, if the French still demand a forever deal, then the UK has to walk away.  Due to COVID - 19 it is in everyone's interest to get a DEAL.  Deal or NO deal are the options.
