Big week ahead.

Johnson has until Tuesday Afternoon to get his shit together for the EU.

He thinks it can be down, but still lots to do in that time.

This week we have the Queen's Speech too, which is going to be misused as a party political broadcast.

Remember if the government can't pass the QS, there's a crisis that gets generated as a direct result. Sticking in proposals that any liberal or leftie will struggle with, is deliberately provoking a crisis of that nature. A proposal of that type would have to be anti democratic in nature, like... Ermmm... Voter ID. Hell, well what do you know.

Johnson is still after his election because as it stands he's a passenger stuck in the runaway train of his own creation.

Talk of a deal breakthrough is still overstated too. The DUP and many of the usual ERG suspects have poured water on the idea. And many on the opposition benches are pushing hard on a confirmary ref being needed for a deal - they don't have the numbers yet, but talk is that they are close. We also have loyalist military making threats about an Irish Sea Border solution.

Time for Project Shit Meets Fan.

Pretty most of those polls give you sod all idea outside the main parties Plaid go up and down like a dogs hind leg ! Can’t take them seriously apart from highlighting trends.

BCF linked some Scottish Independence ones yesterday.

"just about over and out now."

It's still doubtful if there are the votes

If there are, I hope they choose May's WA and tell BJ to stick his ERG version where the sun don't shine

BigChocFrenzy · 16/10/2019 18:46

SNP doing well and indy 50:50

cherin thank you. I smiled today for the first time at that link, hearing a loud protestor - in the great British tradition of non-violent free protest - bellow at Mark Francois from quite a distance, while still being impressively audible, 'Mark Francis [sic] you fat turd'.

Followed by 'liar'.

BercowsFlyingFlamingo · 16/10/2019 18:48

I could t make out what he was saying past stop brexit and liar so glad you did. It makes it even funnier Grin Put him right off spouting his bollocks didn't it Grin

Robert Peston✔@Peston

I am slightly surprised at prevailing mood of optimism that deal is close.

Because I am hearing new obstacles have arisen, and prospects of entente tonight are receding.

Goodness only knows what that means for European Council tomorrow

Laura Kuenssberg@bbclaurak

Just as Barnier arrives to see ambassadors, government source has just told me there will not be a deal tonight

Simply not clear if that means there's no way forward yet or just a case of extending talks into tomorrow cos they need a bit more time
- will clarify as soon as have more^

Boris compared Brexit talks to the prisoner crawling through a sewage tunnel in Shawshank Redemption.

Health Sec Matt Hancock: ‘I haven’t seen that film.’

Defence Sec Ben Wallace: ‘Well, it is an 18 certificate’.

Fitting that Johnson should be familiar with the concept of moving through a sewer.
