Now it’s a case of really just being embarrassed for him. He failed to turn up at the presser after the meeting with EU chiefs. Cos people were booing. But mainly because he failed to get anything done.

He wanted the picture to be the Parliament vs the people. Instead the whole world is seeing the people vs the government.
So basically, Johnson and May spent Trump's presidency fighting each other over how best to sell the NHS to Trump.

What’s your take on that. How do you see it working out or what is his plan?

Oh wow. ‘There are no press here’ while an army of press film the whole thing.
More and more convinced Johnson is actually in a different reality

The big DUP row back has begun.

They are talking about special status for the north now.
‘On a visit to Dublin on Wednesday, Ms Foster signalled her openness to particular Brexit solutions that acknowledge the “unique history and geography” of Ireland - as long as they respect the constitutional position of the North within the UK.’
“The presentation of the DUP as a ‘no deal’ party is wrong. People get very alarmed when they see that sort of rhetoric, We do want to see a deal but it has to be a deal that works for everybody,” she said.

I'm not even sure he's got one. He backed Leave hoping for a Remain vote, if it wasn't for him and his ERG chums we'd be long out by now. No 2017 election. No lost majority. No backstop issue. No DUP issue. I don't even think a hard Brexit is that important as we could be gearing up to a 2020 election with the Tories proposing a referendum on leaving the Single Market and Customs Union by now. I think his goal is to keep us in the EU for as long as possible so he can take advantage of people being angry. In the short term we'll have to see what comes from this court case. If he's found to be lying to the Queen, I don't know where he'll have to go. I guess he could tell Royalists "I did not lie to the Queen ladies an jennel men, this is fake news".

These are NI civil servants. You’d have to wonder why they’re not being listened to.

I've never been comfortable about Momentum. They have a game plan and I don't know what it is.

It’s not hard. Both parties have been infiltrated and infested by far right elements.
Only aim is to cause chaos. It’s working. And it’s not.
Easy to work into a party and create havoc.
Not so easy to convince people / party members nationwide.

Salient point is momentum and erg are working to the same aim.
Democracy in Britain has been taken hostage.

lol @ Labour voting against campaigning for Remain AND singing exultant songs to Jeremy Corbin.

I feel like (UKers please feel free to correct me) it is probably becoming inevitable that England will suffer a no deal Brexit, as none of the negotiations up to this point have had a ghost of a prayer, what negotiation footing the country had has evaporated, and even now the relevant political sphere does not have the momentum to sustain a battle to Remain. Boris may be forced to postpone, but to what end? What is the path to a deal that both the EU and Brexit voters will accept, ever?

If the country had any hopes of a concerted push to re-evaluate the referendum, that might be something, but as is? I’m more curious what such a breakup ends up meaning for Northern Ireland and Scotland.
