Re: A Cheer For Boris!
We all have different opinions but do any of us really know the details of the deal?
Even the press don't know how many pages it is ( so far I have seen different figures from the press saying 500, or 2000 or the latest figure was 1250), so I don't think anybody really knows how good/bad it is..... and that includes the people who made the deal 
The EU never wanted us to leave, for fear that other members may want to do the same, so the UK should be proud that we were not forced to remain members.
All we need now is for the deal to be accepted by EU & UK governments and all do our best to make it work.
Let's be fair, our votes are worth nothing if they are based on the many lies we are told by opposing political candidates... who think they know it all! I really hope that all our political parties can work together to help us succeed .

It seems that the ERG are working day & night to get through the pacakge.So, We'll, possibly, know by Wednesday.
But, I am guessing we would have been hearing screams, by now, if the early readers had spotted anything too damaging.
From the DT:-
"The group has convened a self-styled "star chamber" of lawyers led by veteran Eurosceptic MP Sir Bill Cash to examine the text ahead of a Commons vote on Wednesday."

I guess the determination, to get a deal, might have slowed the process, of leaving, down a touch?
Anyway, the public seems, at last, to have what it wants!
Good for them!
Worryingly, the remainer MPs are still around!

We are a Democracy, the Remainers are entitled to representation of their views.
