The EU have agreed to ring-fence police and judicial cooperation from potential sanctions in the event of any future trade disputes with the UK.

 I see that, as with every other Brexiteer who has been asked, you are unable to say what the EU has done to "punish the UK" and "render the WA null and void."

They have colluded with remainer elements in the UK to drag the process out over the last, almost 5 years, costing UK billions in additional contributions.

 

They have made totally unrealistic demands to maintain control of our laws, governance and access to our territorial waters, contrary to the terms of the WA in their refusal to acknowledge UK's sovereignty.

 

They have threatened numerous punishments throughout the negotiations, including a blockade of UK's trade with NI, removal of air traffic access to EU, huge trading tariffs on UK exports, blockading ports, etc, etc.

 I ask again: what is it you don't like about the conduct of the EU? What has the EU done to punish the UK?

 

As I've said; plenty of Brexiteers have made such allegations; yet none have been able to answer those questions. Will you now do so?

 

I agree, the UK will make some sort of success of Brexit; ultimately. But when; and will we ever be economically back to where we were before Brexit?

I think you have a mental block on reality....

 The voters didn't exactly rush to the Tories; they only increased their share of the vote by 1.4%; the LibDems increased theirs by 4.2%.

 

Swinson was not trounced; she lost by just 149 votes; to the EUphile SNP! 

 

Not spinning any numbers; they are real and there for all to see and check. Parties supporting at least a second referendum on any WA received over 50% of the popular vote.

 

You can go on deluding yourself for ever, and probably will, but those are the facts for all to see.

You can manipulate statistics until the cows come home, but the fact remains that Boris won with a resounding 80 odd seat majority, hence the reason the job is now getting done.

I thought you didn't know any reasons for Brexit... You've just stated one yourself - control of our borders / immigration policy.

In the 20 years that I have taken an interest in UK immigration, there have been many changes to the Immigration Rules; none of which required any input and certainly no permission from the EU!

 

Like all EU/EEA members we always had complete control over our borders as far as non EU/EEA nationals are concerned and the FoM allows control over some aspects of immigration by EU/EEA nationals as well.

You've just contradicted yourself, considering the topic is the EU....

It's called a trade deal not privileges! You know those arrangements you have with other independent nations, that the UE are refusing to accede to with the UK. What did I call it before, oh yes, - punishment!

So Johnson is losing his tail!  You know, the one that has been wagging him for so long.  Cummings is finally being outed as MPs put more and more pressure on Boris to sort out the chaotic mess that is destroying this government.

Just listen to the relevant news reports and work it out for yourself.  The pressure from MPs and cabinet members has been building for weeks.  It's not hard, even for Boris's fan club, to see what is happening.

I agree. I cant help but think this is all related to the fact number 10 is now capitulating to the EU's demands for access to the single market.

Yes, I am aware of Johnson's majority; a majority it now seems to be based upon a lie as he has since reneged upon the WA he promised during the campaign would get Brexit done!

Dominic Cummings to leave Downing Street by Christmas

 

The pressure on Johnson has been increasing since his defence of Cummings' "eye test" drive. There are reports in all media of growing disquiet over Cummings and his mates in Number 10. Disquiet which has already led to the departure of Cummings' mate Lee Cain.

 

It seems that Johnson now knows that, as far as the Tory backbenchers, who Cummings referred to in his blog as "useful idiots," and grandees who control his fate as party leader are concerned, if he wants to keep his job, Cummings has to go.

Haha in what bizarre warped mind could anyone possibly construe the ‘job is now getting done’ ?? 
 

As the oaf lurches from cluelessness to ineptitude at every opportunity, Barnier is running circles around him, Biden has just read him his future, even Marcus Rashford a footballer had to educate him on public expectations with ease and today Canada (5th largest trading partner of U.K.) has told him a deal isn't to be taken as read! 

 

If that’s ‘getting the job done’ define utter incompetence please.

See my post above. Cummings is trying to put a brave face on it; but he is going, and going soon. Just like Trump is.

 

But Trump and his absurd, unsubstantiated by any evidence claims are not a matter for this topic.
