Watch out for the Irish Border making a stronger re-appearance.

Clearly, the US is being used, by the EU, to put a spanner on the Nuts again.

Hi

I rather think that it is the Irish Americans who are calling the shots.

After all, that is where most of the IRA Money came from.

Re: Brussels caves in?

Well, as far as I am concerned, all the wording from these articles are ''could'' ''may'' ''suggested'' . Its all heresay at the moment. Boris knows that if he gives even an inch where fishing, laws and being under the boot of the EU courts, he will be finished long before the next General Election. His own Red MPs would see to that long before we the electorate, put him out.

I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt only because it is Frosty and not him in charge of the negotiations. I've always seen Boris as the weak link but hope he proves me wrong. I wish it was Nigel Farage there instead of Boris to be honest with you, but we have what we have and have to put our trust in him. God, it's like De Ja Vu, I'd swear I said the same about that troll Theresa May! Hey Ho.

Another maelstrom heading in the direction of the PM.

Imperative he is kept on his toes, alert, ready for anything that may be proposed at the eleventh hour by the EU.

I agree. So far, Boris has done the right thing, at least with regard to Brexit. (Not so sure about HS2, though.)
I, too, would still feel happier with Nigel at the helm, though. I have yet to hear him speak of anything with which I disagree.
It's just a shame that most people (apparently) don't have the bravery to actually vote for him and his party, though we did in the last EU elections of course.

Hey ho! If the people of this country can't feel able enough to support the one man who could really take this country where most people want to go, then I'm afraid they're not entitled to call themselves British!

So after that date banks in EU cities will take care of of transactions? Trillions of pounds will no longer go via london, banks there losing customers. Prepare for more announcements like:
JPMorgan shifts €200bn of assets to Frankfurt
(Last year barclay shifted a similar amount)

I'm betting that you cannot explain exactly what these assets are - and what real impact the moving of then will have to the UK.

You mean you don't know.
