Yep, it’s exactly that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 5183 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 But he's outlawing the extension... so what if the EU ask us for it, it's illegal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 30266 Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 He’s outlawing nothing. He could veto an extension regardless. And he can still easily change his mind on an extension by pushing through a one line bill to amend the withdrawal act. It’s one purely for the cameras. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it comes to it, there'll be an extension. This is just so he can do the I never wanted an extension act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why make a law, so you can repeal that same law, making yourself look like a tit in the process, pissing off international companies, and crashing the pound, for no reason? He's got a huge majority and doesn't need to appease the ERG.I think he wants no deal for his disaster capitalist mates and to pave a deal with the US. Too many people think Johnson is benign.

But a comprehensive FTA isnt possible in these time lines. I think he is going for an absolute minimum deal which will be horrendous for industry and NI. We'll see.

I think there will be other sinister changes to parliament and judiciary in the mean time too. AtEotD, putting these dates into primary legislation really doesn't bode well imo.

Its not even Brexit I'm most afraid of, it's going to be the assaults on our institutions. Education, health, the judiciary, the BBC. I honestly believe we haven't seen anything yet, Its completely fucked now with Johnson having the freedom to do whatever he wants. I'm not wasting my time joining the Labour party either, there is no good possible outcome awaiting them. I can't support a single candidate.

Gemmill 44398 Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 2020 is the Rise of the Splitbots. You've just got to pick a side. Nandy is a Wigan lass who, in hindsight, was making a lot more sense to people in all the seats that Labour lost than any other Labour MP did. If they're the people you need to win back, she's your splitbot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
