A lot of People's Vote tears.
Securing a compromise Brexit deal is a major negotiating achievement for Boris Johnson. I congratulate him. I seem to remember him saying the Benn Act would stop the EU making the necessary concessions. He was wrong about that. In fact it helped bring Brexiteers to their senses.— Nick Boles MP (@NickBoles) October 17, 2019

Yes, in the country I'm from there was, in my lifetime, a 40 year conflict where 3000 people died and I'm proud of the fact I know nothing about it.

Sathnam Sanghera was the one who ran that dramatic recitation of Rivers of Blood, wasn’t he? Given old Enoch was an MP in NI at some point, you might think he’d know something.

Honestly don't think enough has been made of the fact that the DUP during this crucial week met not with the farming community, business community or civic leaders but with the leaders of the UDA and UVF before coming to this decision. https://t.co/1W0Pa8Hwbw— Dli O'Doir (@dli_odoir) October 17, 2019

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.

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.
― L'assie (Euler), Thursday, 17 October 2019 14:07 (four years ago) link
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.

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.

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?

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.
― Michael Oliver of Penge Wins £5 (Tom D.), Thursday, 17 October 2019 14:30 (four years ago) link
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.
