Brexit Re-booted

We have a government controlled by an unelected "Spad" who has no regard for UK law or international law, who sees itself as above or beyond the law and does not seem to care that its actions will make the UK a pariah state.

If the government's misbehaviour is not stopped we will not be able to enter into any international treaties for trade or anything else. This Vote Leave government is intent on wrecking our country.

Are there any decent people left in the Conservative party?, because they seem to be the only ones who could stop this madness.

If no deal then the U.K. will have trashed the GFA by having a border between the two areas.

USA has said that they can never do a deal with the U.K. if that is the case.

Other countries will be nervous of our trustworthiness

I believe I must be missing something here.

Surely if it is a no-deal scenario at the end of December the border with the EU in Ireland has to be between the North and South of that island.

Having a border or even checks between Britain an Northern Ireland would serve no purpose as both parties will remain as part of the United Kindom and outside the European Union.

An ineffectual border whose only effect would be was the creation of delays and bureaucracy. ?

This is highly unusual and I wonder whether our Monarch ought to summon her PM? As Government admits new Brexit bill 'will break international law'

We must hope with every fibre that Trump doesn’t win.

American congress votes against Johnstons Brexit plans for NI.they dont want the Good Friday agreement interfered with in any way .It was an international agreement and Bojo MUST stick to the rules where it is concerned .They helped broker it so its in their interests to make sure it survives the chief clown!

There are some posters who believe Brexit in whatever guise, whatever the repercussions, whatever the damage to the U.K. is a “good thing” no matter what. Whoever believes in Brexit is therefore a good person who must be worshipped. It’s a bit like a Cargo Cult- if you don’t know what they are look them up , a fascinating bit of history.

What's in no doubt is that Mr Abbott is a passionate believer in Brexit and an Anglophile, but also that he is a political red rag to the Left.

That may be true but he's also a liar. Bare faced lie, right there on national TV. Then he got caught like a sulky schoolboy.

I watched the original interview live in TV in Australia at the time.

Apparently given the governments admission that it intends to break the rule of law. The lord chancellor Robert Buckland will have to consider his position as he has a constitutional duty to protect the rule of law as recognised by the statute

Constitutional Reform Act 2005

The Barnard Castle doctrine is being applied internationally.

Cummings coup seems to be working

Rumours around Whitehall that Lord Keene, advocate general for Scotland, is on the brink of resigning - following departure of head of the government legal department Jonathan Jones earlier today

M. Thatcher, 1975: ‘Britain does not renounce Treaties. Indeed, to do so would damage our own integrity as well as international relations.’

Opinion in the FT

Tories are very uncomfortable with this admission.

Blimey.

Brandon Lewis admitted that they intended to break international law.

They signed up to it nearly a year ago despite warnings from parliament. So which is it.

Did Johnson lack the capacity to understand what he was signing up to despite being warned by parliament, or is it that Johnson can’t be trusted to honour agreements?

I suspect the latter.

Johnson is behaving like an arrogant Bullingdon shit.

Boris Johnson's Brexit plan 'does break international law' as top legal adviser quits

news.sky.com/story/jonathan-jones-head-of-governments-legal-department-quits-over-pms-reported-brexit-plan-whitehall-sources-say-12066488

Another top civil servant has resigned.

This time it is Sir Johnathan Jones the chief legal advisor.

He can no longer work with this government whose behaviour over the WA has meant as a legal advisor he cannot stand by Johnson’s intention.

Leave voter Sean O'Grady realises now that he was wrong-

"Four years ago, I voted for Brexit. If only I'd known then what we all know now"

"I did not vote for – or desire, at any rate – a so-called "hard Brexit" that will have a hugely damaging effect on the economy and jobs. We don’t have free-trade deals with anyone else, and even if we did, they would not – cannot – make up for the loss of trade with the single market.

Even now, four years on, we don’t know our terms of exit. When they become knowable, they will still lack democratic legitimacy; we really should have that second referendum – the “final say” on Brexit.

If I knew then what I know now, I’d never have voted Leave."

I thought NI were happy growstuff the best of both worlds for 4 years then vote?

Grandad1943 I didn’t disappoint!

That comment was a bit mean MaizieD just because we disagree doesn’t make me a Stepford wife.

Do you need a handkerchief for all that bile and tears?

No, they don't have the best of both worlds.

Where on earth do you get your information from?

No human being is worthless, I dislike several MP's and so called celebrities but they are human beings, someone's son/daughter, mother/father or sister/brother.

Being related to people doesn't confer 'worth'. GG13.

£31 billion is peanuts compared with the cost of Covid 19, in any case with good will that could be paid over a number of years, there is no good will.

Brexiteers have run for cover because it is becoming increasingly clear the were seduced by BJ et al. My friends were cock a hoop when the referendum result was known I will take great pleasure reminding the how wrong they were.

It's not the disagreeing that makes me wonder, it's the unblinking adoration of the most worthless man in the UK.

Or perhaps it's because so many who voted Leave now realise that they were fooled into believing that "it would be the easiest deal in history" and "we hold all the cards" and are horrified to see that many of those who lied to them are pursuing a "no-deal brexit" which was not what they voted for.
