Does the British PM understand his own 'deal'?

As far as Northern Ireland is concerned, definitely not.

His claim that only some minor administrative 'rigmarole' is required at the border has been dismissed by practically everybody.

But what is more revealing is that he has told them that his deal is so great because it gives them the customs union and unlimited access to the single market.

The obvious riposte to this is, in that case, why can't the rest of the UK have it.

Oh and err ummm - unfettered access to Great Britain?
I mean, wtf is he talking about.

For entertainment value its great, but for everything else it is a complete disaster.

Wayne Bayley, who until lunchtime was the Brexit party candidate in Crawley, a Conservative-held seat, isn’t very happy about the decision taken by his leader.

Very disappointed to see Nigel bottle it and back the EU treaty agreed by Boris.

We will now not see Brexit because of Conservative back room deals. [Link]
Yup, well done. And the BP website features a point by point demolition of the Brexit deal he just signed up to. Awkward.

i would have thought it is the end of 'leave'.

Farage was correct that Johnsons deal is not really leaving, at least nothing like the brexiteers wanted.

As for transition periods, Canada plus deal which Farage has given as reasons to support Johnson, neither of them are within the power of the UK.

They depend on the EU, and the USA is not supporting a trade deal with Johnson.

This is the usual 'remainer' fear mongering.

Sure, this isn't the deal I want but you frame things like they are set in stone.

We haven't even negotiated much of the trade yet and we will be moving towards ridding ourselves of much of the 'remainer' junk that still exists.

We just need some time and a reasonable Johnson majority.....with all the Tories being leavers...and both look likely.

Exactly the 20 or so Tory rebels are pretty much gone and presumably will be replaced by candidates who will vote for Brexit. Assuming that they retain those Tory seats that bumps Johnson's majority even if he ends up with the same number of seats as last time.

One more point

I hear Germany are about to go into recession.

Some flock.

And besides, we will still trade with the EU....We just won't wear its collar.
