Brexit Deal

[ancientgran]

ITV news saying they've done a deal. No details yet.

Just had it as breaking news from the telegraph

Thank fuck for that!

Sorry to swear but that was my immediate explanation on seeing the thread title.

I ain't seen no fat lady

I feel relieved. I hope it's a good deal, but anyway this feels like a good thing.

It will be interesting to see the details and find out whether Bojo gained any concessions by playing hardball until the eleventh hour. Chances are both sides had to compromise on some things.

Trade deal expected within hours
has been a stock headline for at least two years
why do you believe it now?

Well, several news channels are saying that various people involved on both sides of negotiations have fed them snippets to indicate that the main sticking points have been sorted out and an announcement is imminent. Apparently they are just working on the finer details now. With Christmas Eve just hours away, then a long holiday weekend before the final week of the year, they really have to make a decision now.

Believe it when I see it

were many years since
The Easiest Deal in History
because
we hold all the cards
and
they need us more than we need them

Boris Johnson is a pathological liar

I'm not hoping till its signed and sealed

ERG are having a meeting about it... 🙄

Plonkers all!

Fucketty fucking fuck, just wake me up when the fucketting thing is fucking signed and done. This has gone on long enough! And I’ll only believe it when the Europeans tell me, not that fuckwit in no 10.

(Ps swearing with you, not at you op, sorry)

World Beating!

The World's first Trade Reduction treaty!

@ListeningQuietly I agree, he lies easily when it suits him, but maybe he's managed to get a better deal by being prepared to walk away without one? That is what I'm hoping for.

I thought thank fuck for that!
I am relieved
Hope no one meddles it away. I do wonder how much the scenes at Dover influenced things

Defenbaker A better deal than the one we had? Er...no.
Plus, he lies All The Time. It's the one thing you can be sure of.

I don’t expect a particularly good deal
But it’s better than no deal

Oh God I hope and pray that they have saved Erasmus.

Alas,

Not so much a deal as an oven-ready surrender.

Our good deal would have been to stay in the European Union. This is a shit deal but better than a no deal.

It’s an absolute tragedy that we are leaving. All we can hope for is damage limitation.
