Unlikely, as he has brokered a deal already.....over to you HoC. Farage doesn't have a single MP in the HoC. He's completely insignificant. Yes the deal he's brokered sees us crashing out on more ore less the same terms as a no deal brexit if we don't agree terms for a trade deal with the EU. Something Johnson has as a plan B.

The US are pushing ISDS into their deals so it is a real threat, irrespective of what Bojo may say, so it is irresponsible to claim scaremongering - but that is the brexit mentality, avoid reality.

Forethat Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 May I just point out that IF the average 'Limp Reaminer's' ability to change the mind of a 'Hard Brexiteer' is what we discuss - a potential 'People's Vote' will become a serious disappointment from the 'Limp Remainer's perspective'.

Those people we can convince - do you just think that you repeating manta like project fear without having any real arguments will not go unnoticed by those people ? I see 44/56 now !

How did project fear begin? It was originally used by the remain camp then highjacked by Brexiteers to explain away some of the negatives in Cameron's leaflet, like the possibility of a no deal Brexit. Very selective memories you Brexiteers. So far, everything condemned as "project fear" has come true. Project fear, Cummings' propaganda to mug off the great unwashed. So BJ said he wouldn't sell off the NHS? He also said that we'd leave on October 31st. BTW. The tories have already been quietly selling off the NHS for years.
