Both me and him agreed a while ago to generally agree to disagree on Brexit. However, I will say that a simple trade agreement with all of the EU is never gonna happen. Simple as in no tariffs across the board? The EU would never go for it. The closest we could get would be similar to the Norway deal. However, the EU shot that idea down a long time ago.

Yes, we agree to disagree on this. We could go back and forth arguing our case but it's too fundamental a difference of opinion, and the topic too toxic to ever just be banter. I've never claimed to speak for or represent the Leave vote as a group, many of whom I find awful and I certainly distance myself from those politicians who've tried to hijack it for their own ends (especially Boris and Farage). My issue has always been about democracy and I'm happy just to leave it at that. |

May announcing she's quitting starts a whole new subplot as the tories start thinking about her replacement.

So I suppose the next question is would Boris beat Corbyn, given a gen. election would almost inevitably come soon after the new Tory leader is announced.

Chuka sobbing quietly in the background "but but the people want a rational centre!" as Boris and Corbyn send both sides into enthusiastic fits

sssssssso...
im reading at the summary of yesterday's news and it looks like the tories would rather have no deal than any other viable option? a customs union and a new referendum got the most votes but got rejected, the dupes won't back may, and so... what's left? nothing? why not just do it tomorrow then? |

so ingleses, will you end up with an accidental no-deal?
the price of the pound says you’re getting reamed right now but it could go way lower. i can only see this century prices, circa $1.20, in 2016... guess i’ll be buying my laphroaig cheap... especially if europa has trouble importing lol |
