Yet the EU has a briefing at 4pm. The usual automatic rejection and then we will go discuss it. They will huff and puff and say talks must go on and the Germans will start sticking in the boot and tell those coastal states to get a grip...not a bad offer... Then you have Boris arranging next week already! Laughed at the last line... When will they realise this is 100% deliberate timing!!

The government has reportedly planned to recall MPs to the House of Commons next week to vote on a possible deal between Westminster and Brussels over Brexit.

MPs must be given at least 48 hours notice before returning to parliament, with the government unlikely to recall politicians over the festive period, even if a deal is imminent.

The Telegraph reports next Wednesday and Thursday (December 30 and 31) have been lined up for a possible vote - hours before the transition period ends at 11pm on Thursday.

Government sources have said that a bill is expected to be drafted within 48 hours of a deal, with a vote put to the Commons and Lords, and secondary legislation passed the following day.

A government source told the newspaper: "Is it good form this side of Christmas, doing it so late?

"MPs would like to read the thing first.

According to EU sources, the British demand for a 60% reduction in the catch by value in British waters had been reduced to 35%, far closer to the 25% reduction that Frost’s EU counterpart, Michel Barnier, had said he would be prepared to accept.

No 10 fishing offer to EU raises hopes of Brexit deal before Christmas
UK negotiators reduce demand for EU catch reduction, potentially unlocking sticking point in talks

Downing Street has made a major counter-offer on fishing access for EU fleets in British waters to break the Brexit trade talks deadlock, raising hopes of a deal before Christmas.

After a difficult period of negotiations, with both sides seemingly entrenched, the UK’s chief Brexit negotiator, David Frost, is understood to have tabled a proposal that could unlock the troubled talks.

According to EU sources, the British demand for a 60% reduction in the catch by value in British waters had been reduced to 35%, far closer to the 25% reduction that Frost’s EU counterpart, Michel Barnier, had said he would be prepared to accept.

Boris Johnson has also accepted a five-year phase-in period for the new arrangements, with a compromise also likely on the application of tariffs or export bans on goods where fishing access changes after the phase-in period, it is understood.

Yes, buy fresh produce now in case its not available in 10 days time. Broccoli, cabbage and spinach etc. always tastes better when its 8 days past its sell by date.

They should flap their wings down to the supermarket! Very busy this morning, despite the rain, and fresh produce is rapidly being scooped up on the assumption that shortages are to come - I've previously warned of this (from January), but events have brought things forward by a couple of weeks.

This new virus strain is not exclusive to the UK only. It is out there across Europe, It would explain the high rapid rates in Sweden/Germany . These two countries were doing ok until a few weeks ago. would explain the speed of the infection and why those two countries rates shot up so quickly. The UK is the only one to confirm this new strain (UK is a leader in Genomics/disease mutation research). Other nations are looking to blame someone for the rise in infections, to deflect from their own mismanagement of the virus within their own borders. However, we must not forget where this virus originated from, China!

johnwise: "continued Marxist doctrine and political correctness" - That is something to look forward too, its horrible to think of people sleeping in the streets and others being billionaires. There is no way I could be a billionaire while others were sleeping rough on the streets - its an inhuman concept... billionaires must be lizards.

And Political Correctness is great too - these boards are full of really foul language and they would be much better if people were polite!

John, a good tip for you, try and see the flip side of the coin, you'll be pleased you did.

What have people got to look forward to? After a lonely, dull Christmas
whats in store in 2021 and beyond looks worse-more lockdowns, continued mask wearing, coerced vaccinations, increased taxation, police state, democracy going, more money printing, negative interest rates, inflation, mass unemployment, businesses devastated, jobs gone, continued Marxist doctrine and political correctness, people living in poverty, homelessness, climate change scam, global communism, the government still sucking up to Communist China...Weapons of mass destruction spread by China..
