So what happens at midnight on the 31th October if no deal?



All stop, no trade, war or what?

Talking about the real world, there's finally some clear and honest criticism of Boris's GATT 24 nonsense and implementation period garbage today, as briefly outlined by me on Friday.

For example, Fox demolishes both planks of Boris's non-plan in a lengthy and detailed piece on the BBCNews Politics section. Read it and see just how much Boris has been lying.

One of several tweets is this one from Gauke:

David Gauke
‏
(a) The implementation period is part of the withdrawal agreement. No withdrawal agreement means no implementation period.
(b) Article 24 of GATT requires both parties to consent. It’s not an alternative to no deal. It’s a form of deal - and it won’t be in place by 31 October.

Plenty more like that.

We'll see how much the criticism gains traction.

The EU confirms it is ready for UK exit in October without the Withdrawal treaty

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JUNE 23, 2019

In the run up to our exit planned for 29 March 2019 the EU passed a number of measures to ensure continuity if the UK left without signing the Withdrawal Treaty. Measures included an aviation agreement to ensure the planes fly, a haulage agreement to allow road transport to continue, a rail agreement, “legal certainty for ship operators”, compensation for EU fishing businesses if they lose access to UK waters, continuity for students currently in the Erasmus programme, and more time for the Peace and Interreg programmes for Ireland and Northern Ireland.

In the update produced for the recent EU Council they also noted that rights of UK citizens currently legally settled in the rest of the EU will be protected. They are ensuring medicines and Reach approved chemicals can continue to be traded, and have increased customs capacity at UK facing ports and transport centres to handle any need to introduce tariffs.

This of course all goes largely unreported by the Remain facing UK media, who carry on with silly scare stories based on an imaginary exit with none of these agreements in place.

Just had the Fantastic Dr Fox on the Andrew Marr show. Not one word about the 40 free trade deals with 70 countries (that we currently enjoy as part of the EU) that he promised by March 29th.

The ‎state-backed Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) is pursuing its biggest acquisition since the financial crisis by tabling a bid for Tesco Bank's £3.7bn book of mortgages.

How about this from the great Mr. Johnson?

Guardian:

Police were called to the home of Boris Johnson and his partner, Carrie Symonds, in the early hours of Friday morning after neighbours heard a loud altercation involving screaming, shouting and banging.

The argument could be heard outside the property where the potential future prime minister is living with Symonds, a former Conservative party head of press.

A neighbour told the Guardian they heard a woman screaming followed by “slamming and banging”. At one point Symonds could be heard telling Johnson to “get off me” and “get out of my flat”.

The neighbour said that after becoming concerned they knocked on the door but received no response. “I [was] hoping that someone would answer the door and say ‘We’re okay’. I knocked three times and no one came to the door.”

The neighbour decided to call 999. Two police cars and a van arrived within minutes, shortly after midnight, but left after receiving reassurances from both the individuals in the flat that they were safe.

You've read my strong criticisms of her many times, maxk. We've both been steady about that.

[cfc1] 21/6/2019 16:08

polar - "quite unfit"....we the last PM was definitely unfit....she was too weak and never really in it at all... we need someone to tell Brussels to get stuffed.

[maxk] 21/6/2019 15:59

And May was fit for office?

[smurfy2001] 21/6/2019 14:33

RBS should perform a share buy back now in the open market. Just get on with it.

[cfc1] 21/6/2019 11:44

RBS trying to go up....They must be thinking of a share buyback. The Saudi bank news just adds to that.
Brexit done by end Oct possible .... then Corbyn is screwed.

[leedskier] 21/6/2019 06:03

It is, I think the existing framework across the entire EU, but one, I think, honoured more in the breach etc.

The one possible may that Boris may get the EU to tinker with the fine detail, especially the Irish border issue, is by doing what he wants to do, namely cancelling Theresa May's immigration policy and granting free movement to EU citizens subject to a requirement of registration after 3 months residence.

A procedure which would require EU citizens to demonstrate that they have a legitimate basis for seeking residence in the UK and have both the financial means to support themselves and health insurance either because they are in employment and pay UK national insurance or have private health insurance.

No, this country is not going to get it in spades, it has already had it.

[largeronald] 20/6/2019 18:30

They say a country gets the government it deserves and this country is going to get it in spades.

[leedskier] 20/6/2019 18:19

Which is why I posted a few days ago that a deal is highly improbable and a GE in Q4 inevitable.

[polar fox] 20/6/2019 16:17

When you read this - from the BBC this afternoon - you have to wonder how long it will take before Boris & Co admit that the country can leave by Halloween ONLY on a no deal basis. At which point, there will probably be a vote of no confidence in Parliament, leading to a mid-winter GE and an extension from Brussels. What develops from that, is anybody's guess at this stage.



BBC: Varadkar's message for future PM

In Brussels, Irish Taoiseach Leo Varadkar says he is looking forward to meeting whoever the new British PM turns out to be.

But he repeats the EU's message that the withdrawal agreement negotiated with Theresa May's government is not up for renegotiation.

He says the non-binding "political declaration", on the shape of the EU and UK's post-Brexit relations, could be amended.

But he says his discussions with the EU's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier earlier today confirmed: "There will be European unity, that negotiations can only happen between the EU and UK in the EU - we're not going to allow negotiations to be moved to an inter-government level in any way."
