No more extensions, says Juncker

thanks jean-claude, with this rock and a hard place you're really spoiling us

I question his veracity

So the Tories shaft the DUP and the EU shafts Remainers. Trebles all round!

lol we're all gonna die

the wrong Cummings died today

Boris Johnson ends his political career as the longest serving Prime Minister in (what's left of) the UK's history. Huzzah!

No more extensions, says Juncker

Look who has been talking to Jacob

Not quite sure why Juncker is been going off on one here - I suppose he is trying to be "no delay from this side!", but if it doesn't pass parliament, or if it's going to take more time, there's 0.0% chance that the 27 will enforce a hard Brexit.

the man's a born showman, obv

Blootered, more like.

I don't believe there's a 0.0% chance that the 27 will enforce a hard Brexit. France has seen the bright side of Brexit (sole nuclear power in the EU, only EU member with a seat on the UN security council) (not to mention banks choosing Paris over London) and wants to get to that bright side as soon as possible if Brexit has to happen at all.

There isn't a 0% chance but the UK is still a big trading partner with the EU. The world economy is fragile and we don't what that kind of shock would do to the Euro area.

It’s priced in at this stage.

So the Tories shaft the DUP and the EU shafts Remainers. Trebles all round!

I think the priced in narrative is bullshit

Prolonging a long dragged out Brexit process also prolongs uncertainly and diverts EU attention from other matters

I think the priced in narrative is bullshit

Right xp. There are also the UK government's threats to fuck with EU affairs so long as Brexit is delayed, which French politicians at least seem to take seriously.

gotta be honest, feeling genuinely nervous about this passing for the first time in a while

No doubt there will be some plans to keep the show on the road but I've yet to come across a set of measures that can be rolled out to fully mitigate the impact xp to gyac

What if at some point it seems like no deal is going to be possible, and no election is going to be so decisive as to make a deal possible, that it's just going to be a question of not if but when a no-deal is coming? And what if that point is now?

I think/hope they'll at least wait on the outcome of an election

What election? Corbyn voted against a snap election before the extension. Will Boris want a snap election after an extension? We aren't going to wait until 2022

The election explained has logged on

btw I've just looked at footage of the Extinction Rebellion guy being dragged from the roof of a train and set upon and it's pretty bad, however he does boot a guy in the face first and he bears an uncanny resemblance to Keith Pratt from "Nuts In May" - physically and probably in other aspects.

They are probably desperate to be dealing with a different government tbh.

The thing that the EU understand is that "I can't get this through my Parliament" is a plus rather than a minus in negotiations. It took way too long for May to realise that.

Er, Parliament voted against a snap election fyi.

Johnson has no parliamentary majority Fred, his government is a lame duck other than this guff, Cornyn didn't vonc him yet to avoid the possibility of a sneaky No Deal

News that Juncker rules out extension actually lead to gasps during congress in Edinburgh just now from remainer professors at uni here. ‘What a time for him to be fucking sober for once’

Juncker can’t actually rule out the extension & afaict he didn’t actually do so

So the idea is that Corbyn is going to shoot the deal down for political reasons, then win an election, perhaps, and then we begin again from the beginning? And you think we in Europe want that to happen, and aren't fully pissed off at everyone at this point?

don’t make me tap the “not everyone in this thread is British” sign

He's going to shoot down the deal because it's a piece of shit.

Yep it’s worse than the May deal even if it fucks the DUP more which is objectively hilarious

Suck it up, bitch

No he is a Hard Left Brexit Trot

no longer willing to say that any outcome whatever has a 0% chance in case tom d points and larfs but no single country in the EU is going to hardman 1:26 a refusal to extend (for the exact same reason hungary won't): it would fuck with their solo leverage in all other contexts

all bets off if a sizeable anti-extension faction were to form (but this isn't going to happen in secret, for the usual game-theoretical reasons: secret promises mean fuck all in diplomacy and no one will risk being out on a limb)

(sorry conversation moved on a bit while i was discussing amon duul ii's musical abilities on twitter, my priorities ARE in order yes fuck off)

Yeah the Junker stuff is being overblown imo

happy to talk about amon duul ii's musical abilities any time of the day or night

i love em but the conversation is never going to be long after all
