What part of this do you not understand.
The part where you suggest we should have gone with that arrangement.

Services are 80% of our business, what good was that arrangement if it excluded services

What we need is an agreement that covers both goods and services and which takes us completely out of the EU..

You think so Banchory?? l disagree, the eu needs our
contributions, therefore they would be more amenable to
dealing fairly with uk in negotiations. For myself l prefer to
leave with no deal and no complications, the deals? would come
later as european companies realise uk is their customer, not
Just a place to dump their products?

I am still behind Boris and l bthink he and Nigel should

What your suggesting is impossible donks. No deal exit is only prevented by a (any) withdrawal deal going into acion. For that the HoC need to ratify it. The striking of a deal date is limited by the ability of the HoC to sit and decide on it. So not before the end of prorogation. After that the last date for boris to table a deal is october 24. And if the deal is different from the may deal, the european council has to approve of it in the week before. So closing a deal with the EU needs to be done ultimately the week before that. That limits the time for boris to october 10 (by and by), so one month from now. In your terms the "last minute" is on october 10.

What you need is on offer. It's called the Withdrawal Agreement. Take it and be done with it.

No the Withdrawal Agreement is a lie.

predominantly because it doesn't represent a Withdrawal at all. It leaves us in the EU under its control and bound by its rules.

It is and always been an utter farce and total travesty and an open testament to the dictatorial traits of the EU Megalomaniacs.

Seems the EU is by far your most important partner when it comes to services.
