"Make Britain Great Again!"

Boris Johnson has been given 30 days to come up with a solution to the Northern Irish backstop and forge a new Brexit deal with the European Union. Angela Merkel suggested she would be willing to ditch the controversial backstop if the UK can agree a suitable alternative by Sept 20.

Everybody has been saying that for two years or so. What do you suggest? I think perhaps angels flying the Irish roads with microscopes might do the business. Grow up. Johnson is just a con-man, and now he's going to be shown up.
 
Merkel has given the UK parliament enough time to put away their buckets, spades and flippers , get back to parliament and reject anything that the Blond Blusterer produces as a further time-waster in exactly the same vein as his stupid Tory predecessor. The Tories got the UK into this mess and it will be up to Jeremy Corbyn to get it out of it.

I thought it was Putin up to his old tricks!

"Why isn’t there greater outrage about Russia’s involvement in Brexit?"
This scandal should cause uproar but the BBC and Labour just change the subject

Or plutocrats like Rees-Mogg ...

"To understand the Brexit disaster, follow the money"
The ultra rich want the UK out of the EU, for their own ends

Surely it wasn't the Secret People?

"Smile at us, pay us, pass us; but do not quite forget;
For we are the people of England, that never have spoken yet."

So Putin wants in on the financial extortion of Great Britain like all the other EU countries because they can all do their jobs, they just can't do enough of it & need English subsidizing & not Brexit ?

Merkel belongs IN a cave. She was such an awful leader for Germany.

It's the Greens who are truly awful, much of what is wrong with Germany, including the migrant crisis and the woeful Energiewende policy, flows from them. That's not exonerating Angela by the way, it just shows how awful coalitions can be.

Mr Macron said: “Just like Angela Merkel, I’m also confident. We should, all together, be able to find something smart within 30 days if there is goodwill on both sides, which I think there is.”

Dublin and Brussels are in secret talks about imposing new customs checks and controls at ports and factories as the likelihood grows of a no deal exit from the European Union, it has emerged.

Phil Hogan, the EU Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development, said checks "could be at point of origin or at point of destination", adding that 55 per cent of all exports from Britain to Northern Ireland come through Dublin Port and are already automatically checked.

So it CAN be done?

Peter Oborne once admired Corbyn, now he despises him.

Jeremy Corbyn is spineless, tepid and destined to be damned by history

Jeremy Corbyn is often portrayed as one of the most Left-wing leaders of a mainstream party that Britain has ever had. As evidence, people highlight how he welcomed convicted IRA men to the Commons shortly after the Brighton bombing in 1984. There is also his wish to impose much tougher wealth taxes, to renationalise great swathes of the country’s public utilities, to cancel our Trident nuclear defence system and to introduce rent controls.

Clearly such policies struck a chord with some voters as he cut the Tories’ Commons majority in the 2017 General Election. Above all, they saw a man who stuck to his principles, unlike David Cameron and Tony Blair who they regarded as snake-oil salesmen.

I believe that voters were right to admire Jeremy Corbyn back then. But ever since he has been a disappointment. This is not because he’s too radical and Left-wing. It’s because he has shown no leadership whatsoever. He’s twisted and turned so often that nobody knows what he stands for.

In sum, he’s been tepid and weak. He’s sat on the fence for so long that the iron has entered his soul, as early 20th-century PM David Lloyd George once said of an opponent. I believe Corbyn’s failure to stand up for what he believes explains his appalling position in the polls. They all show Labour lagging well behind the Tories.

Horseshit. The UK will not survive diplomatically if it welches on its legally-binding debts. You'll be international pariahs and trading with the Marshall Islands.
