Trump at the moment is looking unlikely to last past November, though you never know. We seem to be disappearing further down the rabbit hole.

Corky Posted 8 September 2020 Share Posted 8 September 2020 Part of me thinks this is all a bluff. You can't seriously admit to breaking international law before you try to set up trade deals around the world. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also makes them look a bit desperate and willing to sign stuff they haven't read properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably is a bluff to try to gain leverage during negotiations, but at the expense of the UK’s credibility and reputation when trying to negotiate deals with anyone else in the future.

Lionator Posted 8 September 2020 Share Posted 8 September 2020 They haven’t a clue what they’re doing. Anyone who thinks that there’s some kind of underhand plan grossly overestimates the intellect of Cummings and Johnson. I like this from Keir, very much a ‘get brexit done’ tone. Pretty savage.

I haven't seen the whole video but I find that a bit of a disappointing response to be honest. I realise his approach is give them enough rope but I think eventually he is going to have to go over some of those "old arguments". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bovril Posted 8 September 2020 Share Posted 8 September 2020 (edited) Labour are still ****ed really. They are terrified of talking about Brexit because they know middle England is bored of it and doesn't understand why we can't just leave and trade with the world etc etc. So they focus on "the PM needs to get a trade deal", which is understandable I guess. The problem is when (if) Johnson does end up with some god-awful bare-bones trade deal he's going to wave it in their faces, and it's 2019 all over again. It's the Walkers Bowl tactic again.

Surely that means Labour are less ****ed. As soon as its done and he has some sort of deal to show for it, he loses his big advantage and it becomes old news which people don't want to hear about. The virus has meant he can't seize the agenda so unless they can create a narrative of 'we got coronavirus done', there'll be a huge vacuum that the government won't have the momentum to fill. Labour's best bet is to ignore Brexit, confronting it is of no value compared to using the energy to talk about the future and repair their image. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The battle plan for the election was a Brexit cabinet that looks strong and decisive. Worked fantastically in the election but an interior health crisis has exposed it as sluggish, unrelatable and cold. Now a lot of the reliable, moderate old hands of the Tories have been purged, who do you go to except an unproven freshman MP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kopfkino Posted 16 September 2020 Share Posted 16 September 2020 (edited) Ed Miliband better than Starmer earlier in the week, Angela Rayner better than Starmer today.

yorkie1999 Posted 18 September 2020 Share Posted 18 September 2020 i notice the consultation on proposed changes to the human medicines regulations laws runs out tonight, so anyone with any concerns or worries about the liable effects of being injected with something that might cause you to grow an extra arm or something, should take note. https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/distributing-vaccines-and-treatments-for-covid-19-and-flu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fightforever Posted 18 September 2020 Share Posted 18 September 2020 The way they have been ****ing this Brexit stuff up for over 4 years one must start to think whether they actually want a deal in the first place. No way they didn't read the deal they signed with the EU. I smell bullshit somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopfkino Posted 19 September 2020 Share Posted 19 September 2020 Boris now third in a two horse race on best PM polling. Meanwhile, The Times today saying he's worried about money cos he's had to take a pay cut and he's still not well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
