On this matter, Macron is right - it’s just about 2 months before the bye-bye date. The only bone of contention is the Irish border and the Republic of Ireland doesn’t want to have a hard border and will veto any deal that does that or that doesn’t give specific measures on how the border will be open.
It is best for the UK to go for a no-deal, hard Brexit
MPs have only 22 sitting days in parliament until 31 October, according to the Institute for Government, unless they decide to cut short the party conference recess or add extra sessions. And Boris Johnson has a majority of one.
IMO, it's *always* been best for the UK to go for a hard Brexit. Our European offices are based in the UK and that's what we've been planning for. So much so that the data center we built out in Luxembourg is getting minimalized and our systems are staying in the U.K.
Hard Brexit.
Then...
1. Put troops on the Irish border.
2. Build a Trump style wall.
3. Sign humongous, generous trade treaty with USA.
Later:
USA/UK offers the Irish Republic a similar deal if they too leave the EU. The wall can come down then. The Brits can sell it to Mexico for its Southern border with Guatemala.
