The referendum was three years ago? That’s not enough of a delay?
WTF??
But Johnson can’t force an election by January because of the Fixed Term Parliament Act.
>>>Farage says that Johnson should “sit out” this week’s EU summit, “accept the extension,” and go into the next election arguing for a no-deal Brexit
Or he could just do a no-deal Brexit in two weeks. Obviously, Farage does not like the current deal Johnson is proposing and is afraid ir could pass.
Give Boris a couple more days. I think we’re almost there.
NO MORE DELAYS!!!
Delays only empower the socialists.
If the UK is not out on 1 November, Boris Johnson will be a failure.
A deal can be made after the UK leaves.
What would Britain be able to do in 2 months that they have failed to do in over 2 years?
Brexit NOW!
As long as the rest of the UK gets to make trade deals without reference to the EU I’m happy. If neccessary we can just bribe the DUP with cash and enshrine it in an act of Parliament like the Barnett formula with Scotland so they’ll have something to take to their supporters as a win. That way Northern Ireland benefits from Brexit but the Unionists get to stay in the UK but the Irish get to continue their defacto union with the rest of Ireland. They’re only a province of about 1.5 million people so we can take the hit.
I wouldn’t rest your hopes too much on the Northern Irish wanting to leave the UK though, according to the last census the catholic population of NI is still just a little over 40%, but 13% of Catholics actually identify as British (and some will identify as Irish but support the union for pragmatic reasons) wheras only 2.1% identify as Irish, so the protestant community is more fiercely pro-British than the Catholic community is pro-Irish identity. As anyone who knows anything about northern ireland knows, identity is everything.

Garage on target per usual. The people will back a real Brexit from Boris in an election, no need to negotiate a partial Need it now.
BREAKING: two senior EU sources say the main stumbling block to a deal has been removed with the DUP accepting the latest proposals on consent... Optimism a deal can now be done...— Tony Connelly (@tconnellyRTE) October 16, 2019
Nigel is afraid Boris will accept a still very crappy deal only slightly better than Theresa May’s surrender treaty and call it “progress”.
I hope he’s wrong about Boris and that unlike Theresa May, Boris will actually stick to his guns.
We’ll see.
Brexit deal ahead of EU summit
