Hunt will continue dithering if he wins.

Anyone who talks about those in power being able to weather any storm following Brexit, is talking tommy rot.
No matter how much money one has, if there are no goods to buy or limits on how much of anything one can purchase, it will affect everyone regardless of income.
Only a fool would think that, in the process of leaving without a deal, they would somehow be exempt from any fallout.
They live here too.
Do you really suppose they'd hire a private plane to wherever, in order to buy goods, foodstuffs that you think will be unavailable after Brexit?
What nonsense

That is exactly what happens when you ask the electorate to vote yes/no without setting out exactly what it is they’re voting for. Our politicians have created this mess, you’re right - by not putting various options to the public vote. Yes/no is simply too vague.

BUT, our politicians have created the situation.

They acted without considering the electorate - those people who gave them their place in Parliament.

The negotiations ran and ran, parliament vetoed any progress or deal signing. Many people, whatever their views on Brexit have had enough of the games-playing.

The PM's determination to get a deal didn't work and I doubt if any further deal is on the cards. EU negotiators have been adamant about that. Take it or leave it.

So, two choices really, leave or stay. The next PM has to ensure we are out by Oct 31st. That is his mission.

No deal or Farage - is this really what U.K. politics has come to??

Parliament has already made it very clear that they will not sanction such a farce.

We'll see. The Farage effect might make those MPs who wanted to make it as difficult as possible rethink their voting choices.

The prospect of No Deal which was denied the negotiation team last time has, with consent of the HoC, been reinstated.

Yes, that was an interesting move by MPs. Again, self-serving and fearing for their jobs given the rise and rise of Farage and the Brexit Party.

It is amazing that such a newly formed party had such a powerful effect on those who had wanted to block Brexit. Voting for the Brexit Party was a protest vote, and I think the message was hammered home. Deliver Brexit or two major parties go to the wall. Look at those MPs keen to stay onside now.

Sadly, Boris is the strongest bet in this two horse race I think. What a choice, eh, but we do need a real Brexiteer to take the reins. If the Oct 31st deadline comes and goes and we are still in the EU, lots of MPs might as well start packing up their parliamentary offices - and they know it.

If Labour oppose and make it difficult the party is likely to be so unpopular it will collapse. I think the Conservative Party will also fold if Brexit is not delivered.

It's an interesting time in politics and no one can forget the Brexit Party is out there waiting and likely to step in if the two major parties cock up again.

I am hoping the government and the opposition can make it happen.

Boris was merely refuting claims that had been made about water. Now his comment has been taken out of context and the Remainers just love it.

Boris can commit to leaving without a deal all he likes - but it’s not within his power to offer that. Parliament has already made it very clear that they will not sanction such a farce.

As for the idea that Boris and his crack team can negotiate a better deal - ha! He’s an utter buffoon who caused so much offence as FS I can imagine the EU leaders are rubbing their hands in glee at the thought of getting hold of him and his team - it will be like cats playing with mice.

“Crack negotiators “ who are they?
Boris has also said we’ll still have drinking water on Oct 31st - so that’s ambition for you. Marvellous - makes it all worth it.

Boris will make a decent leader. He has more courage than Mrs May had.

Plus he will surround himself with a Brexiteer Cabinet and crack negotiators. No more Olly Robbins, yay! What a stitch up that WA was. Duplicitous finagling behind closed doors and presented to the Cabinet no less, at the 11th hour as a done deal ‘or resign and call a taxi home’.

Jeez.

The prospect of No Deal which was denied the negotiation team last time has, with consent of the HoC, been reinstated.

A whole new ball game with Boris and his team!

Watch this space, as in:

“ConHome: “Brexit and all that, do or die.
It must be the case, must it not, that every member of your Cabinet, when you appoint them, must be committed to leaving on 31st October, deal or no deal?”

Johnson: “Yes, that will be the policy of the Government.”
?

I shall make another prediction, if he tries to by-pass Parliament and prorogue- he will have a true REVOLUTION on his hands, and worse.

Do you really think bumbling BoJo will be able to get a magical, all singing, all dancing with unicorns on top deal? Just by bumbling and bullying and banging on the table? Really?

I am not a betting person, but ... He will last 2 minutes and will be shown for what he is, bumbling bully without a clue. He does not even understand the very basics of WTO!

Although aware of BJ's 'frailties', I think the milk-sop Hunt is not enough of a character to get done what needs to be done.
Ideally, we need a hybrid of Thatcher, Merkel and Putin. You don't mess with people like that.

He is intelligent, and he has studied the issues very carefully.

Not even God will be able to help us if Bojo comes and runs around like a bull in a china shop.

Mark my words - you aint' seen nothing yet.

Rory Stewart!!
God help us.
??

Brexit is coming.
I can feel it.
It’s taken a while but it’s within touching distance now!

And Rory Stewart explains this well, Johnson has not got a clue - he doesn't even begin to understand the basics of the situation we find ourselves in:

If you are about to push the country and its people down a cliff- perhaps dithering makes total sense !?!

I dont trust Corbyn. As far as have seen Corbyn seems to have been an invisible man throughout this campaign.

is he supposed to be campaigning?
For what? or rather, for whom?

You can see the invisible? LOL...

on the other hand, should Keir Starmer take over ...he was brilliant in the HoC today.

I dont trust Corbyn. As far as have seen Corbyn seems to have been an invisible man throughout this campaign.

Agreed.

Re tuition fees - if the entrepreneurs had been to university and they made a lot of money, why shouldn't they pay back their fees. One assumes that they learned something that helped them in their business.

Nor me!

Hunt's latest is that those who start up businesses and employing 10? people within 5 years will not have to pay back their tuition fees from university.


Now, where does that leave teachers, nurses, doctors, other professionals?

And, in many cases, those who set up entrepreneurial businesses are not necessarily those who went to university anyway - they may consider it a waste of 4 or so years when they could be getting on and setting up their businesses.

I'd guessed GG13 - and I am glad to see there is no-one on GN who would ;)

jura2 not me.
