Unless, of course, that rival is Nigel and the Brexit Party.
everyone wants to have their cake and eat it too...
rhetorically, so one suppoes why not also boris?
open question, if brexit can be delayed while a ni backtop agreement is fine tuned, then why not just delay the ni backstop fine tuning and let brexit proceed as originally scheduled?
whose fault is it that the ni backstop details are not yet hammered out (if that is the way to go)?
what is the worst that could happen if brexit were done before the ni backstop?
in a the bewt of all possible worlds (to use an overworked phrase... ahem...), would a so-called “hard” brexit not provide a positive impetus to the dot-the-i-type bureaucrats for the ni backstop to be completed asap??
enquiring minds want to know! :)
Saturday is do or die day - let’s see what happens first
They’ll leave the EU . . . right after the Inspector General’s report.
