Westminstenders: The Maddest of May and Boris's Dare

[RedToothBrush]

Boris Johnson just dared May to fire him.

That's what his little rant about £350 million buses is.

Meanwhile its been pointed out that HMRC literally are incapable of handling a no deal and can only cope with an EEA / EFTA deal with no tariffs.

And given how good and on time the government are with computer systems even in a best case scenario are extremely unlikely to crack it in time.

Which makes Hammond's talk of a civil contingence plan, look, well half arsed and lacking.

We also wouldn't have planes able to fly to Europe under a no deal as we would no longer be part of Open Skies. This could leave thousands stranded. But no biggie there.

Meanwhile if the Leave Alliance have things right, May is about to serve our one year notice on leaving the EEA making all these things a reality.

Which is less like shooting yourself in the head and more like shooting yourself in the head, chest, foot, arm, leg and face (for a second time), whilst being run over at the same time.

But hey, Boris Johnson has it sussed in his 10 point plan. Especially the point where he says Brexit will be a success.

If you call success ending democracy, becoming a dictatorship, starving everyone, bankrupting the country and causing civil unrest.

Rule Britannia.

We're proposing, a new strategy for a new framework for a new treaty.

Aha! Implementation period, I see.

@davidallengreen
Nothing about security partnership is directly relevant to the current Brexit negotiations.

Who is this 'our people'?

Remainers couldn't work out how to do Brexit. Now its up to the EU. 'Sharing' of cause is dumping responsibility from the work shy dickheads to others.

Didn't May realise that we weren't part of Schengen and still had control of our borders???!!!

OK, same rules for another two years.

OP you mention several times about democracy, it was the democratic will of the people exercised at the polls that decided we will leave. Dry your eyes, get on with things or take yourself off to EU land. Simple as that.

A period of implementation. Let's see how long this will be. We know "This will not go on forever" but maybe for a few decades? Yes?

Bots are out

Nothing to see here, move on.

"In this city of creativity and rebirth"!!

What are we actually proposing? Jesus. I would be tearing my hair out if this was what I was negotiating against. Ffs . Was this worth pausing negotiations for?

"There will be a registration system for EU citizens coming here"- Theresa May
You mean like other EU countries ALREADY DO!?

Errrr didn't she just say something contradictory i.e. the period needed was indeterminate and should be as long as it takes to get institutions in place......and then later she said that it would be a fixed period?

Bot is one word for them prettybird

Stock up on tinned food and water, hard Brexit it is..............

@IanDunt
"I am clear that Britain's future is bright." Like someone at a garage saying: "I am clear that all of these cars work."

Sorry comrade bots,
Brexit is over.

She really hasn't grasped the fact we're 6 months into negiotiations has she?

This is just a rehash of January's speech.

so another 5-10 years of uncertainty for EU citizens in the UK and British citizens in the EU?

Agreed, Bearbehind. Sad. What a shame. Opportunity to do something different.. but neah. Same Old Same Old.

Theresa May has decisively, coherently and confidently kicked the can another two years down the road.

This speech was for her boss.

It's just emotional and political blackmail, against a background of yet more meaningless waffle and reheated Lancaster House leftovers.

How embarrassing. And what a waste of everyone's time.

Why is she talking futuristically about negos like they haven't started months ago.Bloody unicorns again...

Jeez that was awful.

@IanDunt
Don't try to do rousing, Theresa. Know your strengths.

Not even no. 1 story on BBC news ....
