Number 10 is playing this down, doubtless because they want the glory of announcing it!

Davis Recants

For the avoidance of doubt I believe the PM will get a deal with the EU but anything based on the Chequers plan or one that keeps us in the Customs Union will not pass the Commons. Time to revert to free trade deal suggested by EU?

May Way or No Way!

🚨DD says May will get a deal through EU and Parliament: “Terror will win. The fear of no deal, the irrational fear of no deal, will win. It may take two passes. But it will pass.”

Osborne Admits Project Fear Was Bollocks

Osborne says it was wrong to play into sense that Brussels was always wrong and not to talk up positives of immigration #Newsnight - you may be able to hear others involved in Remain campaign at the time banging their heads on brick walls

— Laura Kuenssberg (@bbclaurak) October 30, 2018

Osborne and co were warned at the time the Project fear would backfire, but they failed toheed those warnings because of their arrogance.

People Want Brexit, But Not May's Version of Brexit

As per Guido Fawkes a poll carried out by Deltapoll shows that only 26% of people want Brexit to be abandoned altogether.

However there is scant support for May’s current Brexit approach either, with 14% saying she should “go back to the drawing board and come up with a more acceptable plan” and 22% in favour of her leaving without a deal rather than making any more concessions to the EU.

Only 10% support her pressing ahead with Chequers.

No Deal Means Extra Budget

#PhilipHammond: No-deal #Brexit would require new #Budget.https://t.co/8MpFPgIvVn #Budget2018

— Grunberg and Co (@GrunbergandCo) October 29, 2018

I have no doubt that No Deal would mean an extra Budget. That would be a "give away" Budget as Hammond would need to prime the pumps to keep everything financially afloat.

I guess that's what May meant when she said austerity was over!

Brexit Boost For May From Labour

Big Brexit boost for Theresa May on a difficult day. 'Up to 45 Labour MPs could rebel to back Theresa May's Brexit deal, Doncaster MP Caroline Flint claims' By @singharj

— Christopher Hope (@christopherhope) October 24, 2018

I will believe it when I see it!

To put this into context, the journalist claimed a few days ago that David Davis was "admired" by some Labour MPs.

Project Fear Was Bollocks!

Before Referendum (March 2016), OBR forecast £21bn deficit for 2018/19.
After Ref (Nov 2016) f/cast rose to £46bn.
By 2018 Spring statement, f/cast still £37bn.
In Mon. Budget it will reveal its pre-Ref f/cast was most accurate.
So no Brexit-induced collapse in public finances.

Brexiteers To Meet Barnier

Seemingly Brexiteers including Owen Paterson, David Trimble and Ian Duncan Smith will meet Michel Barnier in Brussels today, in order to tell him why May's Chequers plan is unworkable.

It has come to this that members of the governing party are now briefing the EU against their own leader!

There Is No Plan

In case anyone is wondering if there is a plan (eg Chequers II, "No Deal" or some variation thereon), there isn't one.

The great lie has finally been exposed by the EU and Ireland.

US Shoots EU's Fox

Christopher Giancarlo, head of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, called the EU plans to amend European Market Infrastructure Regulation “unprecedented and wholly unacceptable” and warned they could create “costly burdensome regulatory requirements” in the US.

Mr Giancarlo said that if the EU did not change the existing plans he would have “no choice” but to select from a wide range of actions that includes barring EU banks from using US financial infrastructure such as the Chicago Mercantile Exchange.

The EU's Misadvised Strategy

Miscalculations on both sides, but the commission built its strategy (advised by ultra-remainers in the UK) that the talks get to this point and the UK folds and allows the de facto break up of the UK via Northern Ireland. Terrible miscalculation.

A Question of Trust

Were Maggie Thatcher alive and handling Brexit, people would trust her to do her best to get as good a deal as possible. Sadly, for us, even if May is doing her best no one trusts her honesty, ability or competence. As such, even with a good deal, she won't be able to sell it!

— Ken Frost (@ken_frost) October 11, 2018

Sadly, for the country and for May, I don't think people trust her to keep her word or to mange this well.

The post Brexit "problems" are not rooted in the laws of physics (eg if we throw a ball into the air it will return to earth), but are rooted in manmade bureaucracy (which can be changed at the stroke of a pen).

These problems will cease to exist if people wish them to cease!
