Thought they'd just gone into the Tunnel....well that didn't last long. Maybe not a very long tunnel. Sounds like no meeting of minds if Barnier going public 'so soon'. Timed before our market opens, for maximum effect and headline grabbing...we'll soon see.

'Bombastic' Boris Johnson 'doesn't have guts' to do no-deal Brexit - 'He's bluffing us!'

BREXITEER Ben Habib argued Boris Johnson did not "have the guts" to secure a real Brexit.

Former Brexit Party MEP Ben Habib argued Boris Johnson's Brexit bluffs had been called by the EU. While speaking on Brexit Unlocked with Martin Daubney and Belinda de Lucy, Mr Habib said the EU could see the Prime Minister was not sticking to his word. The Government's reluctance to permanently step away from the trade talks ultimately weakened the Government's negotiating position, according to Mr Habib.

Ms de Lucy said: "If the Government was serious about no deal or serious about even getting a good deal they would have walked away by now.

"So what are they doing still talking?"

Mr Habib highlighted the many times Boris Johnson failed to keep his promises on deadlines.

He said: "They absolutely would have walked away.

The negotiating mandate in February stipulated that if we don't have a deal that is pretty much done by June 30 we will walk away.

"At that point, in his normal bombastic way, said he was going to put a tiger in the tank of negotiations to get a deal by July.

"That was not music to my ears but anyway, we didn't walk by the end of July and then he moved that to October 15.

"Boris said we would head towards no deal unless the EU relented on its demands of state aid and fisheries.

Lo and behold, the EU has not relented in their demands."

Mr Habib also argued Boris Johnson and his Government had shown they did not have the courage to satisfy Brexiteers and stick to its previous promises.

He said: "When you fail and you set a deadline and you say you are going to take certain actions at the end of that deadline unless your terms are fulfilled and then you fail to take those actions, your bluff is called.

"We now know that Boris Johnson has not got the guts to do a no deal.

"We also, therefore, know that he was bluffing us when he said he would rather be dead in a ditch than not leave on October 31."

Mr Habib noted the UK should have pushed for a no deal as their trade deal negotiation terms had not been met by Brussels.

He continued: "One of the tweets put out by David Frost is him saying he is going to go on negotiating until the last possible moment.

"But that actually isn't David Frost's mandate, his mandate was to walk at the end of June if he didn't get a deal.

"David Frost is not adhering to the UK's mandate to which he was signed up to."

Nice posts, G2.

Oh grow up Alphorn, no one respects the courts. Look at the International Criminal Court total waste of everyones time.

[grahamite2] 01/12/2020 19:39

As I said, I would only abolish political courts. Such things belong in Stalin's Russia, not in this country.

[alphorn] 01/12/2020 19:36

Any other courts you would like to abolish at the same time; so far we have any European courts, now starting with the domestic ones--------oh, and btw we won't follow international law when it does not agree with our view.
As I said scary stuff.

[utrickytrees] 01/12/2020 19:31

She used to be Micheal Foots cleaner.

[grahamite2] 01/12/2020 19:24

Alphorn, these are the rulings of the High Court and the Supreme Court on the prorogation - I have them both in favorites:





One is a legal judgment, the other a political judgment. The matter was not justiciable, as the High Court correctly said. It is high time for Blair's sinister invention, the (misnamed) Supreme Court to be abolished.

[alphorn] 01/12/2020 18:47

Changes are coming for the Supreme Court. Boris did not like its ruling last year. Why not just get rid of the courts. Scary stuff.

[lefrene] 01/12/2020 18:45

Gecko, complicit and stage managing it too.

Those who shout betrayal will be dead right. Everyone who voted Brexit, or for Johnson, believing his magical cake-and-eat-it deal was oven-ready will be betrayed. His party’s manifesto read: “Boris Johnson’s new deal takes the whole country out of the EU as one United Kingdom.” No, Northern Ireland is left out. And watch another crack in the union open under an SNP victory in next May’s Holyrood elections. Betrayed are any who believed last year’s Tory manifesto unicorn: “Get Brexit done – and we will see a pent-up tidal wave of investment into our country.”
