Ah but Boris will be revealing the details of his deal very soon. After all, he did agree to a 30 deadline with Angela Merkel didn't he?
And he must have had a plan. He wouldn't lie would be???

'Wir schaffen das', he said.
With his track record of delivery (Boris island, Garden Bridge, watercannons, Emirates cable car....etc....), I see no reason to doubt him.

UK recession fears recede amid surprise economic growth

Swiftly followed by:

Britain has agreed a deal with six southern African countries including South Africa, the continent’s most developed economy, that will ensure continuity of trade conditions after Brexit, the British High Commission in South Africa said on Wednesday.

And then:

Britain’s workers received their biggest pay rises in more than 11 years this summer as the unemployment rate fell back to its lowest since the mid-1970s, even as the country’s political crisis over Brexit deepened.

Meanwhile, in that would-be utopian vision the EU:

More gloom! Eurozone factory output contracted by 0.4% in July, new figures show.

No he didn't and what's more is that Merkel quickly backtracked saying she didn't really mean 30 days.
Unless you have proof otherwise?

No, they were riffing on the possibility that they could come up with a plan in 30 days.

Like we could fund the NHS instead & we should have sufficient food in a no deal brexit. Just because something is possible in theory, doesn't mean there is any possibility of it happening in practice.

All will be well if we remain. Given the shocking economic news from the €zone, the UK will be on the hook for much, much more than the current contributions when it all goes boom.

This is just a re-run of the 2016 project fear.

We've got bigger problems if we leave. Maybe we should choose the one where we get to eat.

According to global media and the EU themselves it is much of EU-land that will be struggling whereas the allegations of impending disaster for the UK are continually being diluted.
Diluted now almost to the point of positivity instead of disaster.
No wonder the EU are sh1 ##ing themselves that after Brexit the UK will prosper.

ECB continue to act politically. In the absence of concerted agreed policy between Eurozone states. QE to continue. Negative interest rates deepen. Ammunition must be running low. With each salvo having less and less impact. While squeezing bank profitability. Talk about heading into the unknown.........

To my surprise theres actually a UkGov Facebook page. And it has a Brexit thread! I'm looking at what must be thousands of posts from pensioners ranting about Remoaners, their country being stolen and how Britain will rule the waves again. And an equal number of young people who just want to pay their mortgages, telling them to get bent. It's very lively.

This is the problem with Brexit. The people who wrote the cheque don't have to actually honour it. And the ones who do neither remember their idea of patriotism nor care about it much.
