Brexit news latest: Boris Johnson set for showdown Brexit talks in Paris after given 30 days to find 'solution' to Brexit by Angela Merkel

[poikka] 22/8/2019 09:03

Merkel - 30 days, m8, and it better be good.

Macron - ""Renegotiation of the terms currently proposed by the British is not an option that exists, and that has always been made clear by [EU] President Tusk."

BBC political correspondent Ben Wright said Mr Johnson was likely to get a "chillier reception" from Mr Macron, who sees Brexit as "contaminating the whole European project" and wants it over and done with."

1. Boris, m8, please do NOT go back to see either Merkel or Macron, it's humiliating to have them play with us like that.

2. Merkel knows how the border issue could be resolved, and so does Macron, and Tusk, and whoever else is shoed-in.

3. IF they want to reach an agreement with us, they'll make bloody sure that any agreement fixes us good 'n proper.

4. Therefore, the ONLY answer is to Leave without a deal and then see what happens.

Hopefully, Boris knows that and will not humiliate us further. He's made his approaches, done the right thing, and now needs to get on with making it work.

May threw the election. There is no other way of looking at it.


Just watch Boris's honeymoon period go up in smoke if he tries to pull a fast one.

Careful: May and Boris are as different as chalk and cheese.

We know there is a 30 day deadline.
When parliament re opens it will be chaos.
Boris has no effective majority.

If he is to pull a rabbit out of the hat it needs to be quick.
Brexit and power could be lost altogether.

I hope he is not too optimistic about his chances in a general election.
May made the same mistake.

Scotland's deficit is the equivalent of more than half the entire UK's thanks to public spending being £1,600 higher per person, according to official figures that damage Nicola Sturgeon’s independence case.

The annual Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland (GERS) showed total public spending in Scotland was £75.3 billion in 2018/19 but the country only raised £62.7 billion in revenues.

The 2018/19 report showed the £12.6 billion deficit was the equivalent of more than half the £23.5 billion recorded for the entire UK, despite Scotland having only 8.3 per cent of the populatio

Angela Merkel holds out prospect of a new Brexit deal


You have got 30 days. That is what Angela Merkel told Boris Johnson last night, as she gave him a deadline to come up with a solution to the Northern Irish backstop and forge a new Brexit deal with the European Union. In comments that were seen as a victory for Mr Johnson on his first trip abroad as Prime Minister, the German Chancellor suggested she would be willing to ditch the controversial backstop if the UK could agree a suitable alternative by September 20. Peter Foster and Daniel Capurro have a simple explanation of what the...

BBC media action received over £3 million from Brussels. Fran Unsworthy is or was the chair (head of news and all the board nominated by the bbc)

I wonder what they would call that if it was Russian money supporting an 'independent charity' chaired by Trump.
