It’s like going into a car showroom to get a decent deal on a car. The salesman won’t drop the price and you turn to walk away, the salesman knows it’s a bluff but starts to panic a little bit the nearer you get to the door. A deal could now be in the offing. However your wife suddenly appears, insists you do a deal and will not let you leave the showroom. The salesman smiles.....
Which one is the lying snivelling useless Tory in this scenario lol lol

Slight difference being your house won't burn down if you walk away without a car.

It's not.

I know that your victor ludorum is being hamstrung, but the rest of Parliament aren't willing to let this reckless self publicist anywhere near playing with the adults.

At best, despite your giddy proclamations, he was only ever going to bring May's deal (or a deal with more concessions) or bumble into a No Deal.
 
Seems to me there are only 3 options;
1) Agree a pretendy not actually a deal deal.
2) Revoke Article 50 asap.
3) Leave with no deal.

My prefferences are 2, 3, 1.
Edit; I don't count extension(s) as a choice, as it just kicks the problem down the road.

I’d probably tell her she could get a better deal if she just closes her eyes and runs across the busy motorway to the other showroom... trust me it’ll be there and she won’t get hurt on the way

What's actually going to happen is that the deal that you were offered in the first place, which you turned down because you couldn't put your child seat in, you've gone back to the salesman and decided that it's now fine and have told the wife that it's ok, your toddler can go in the roof rack.

I would love to play poker with these remainer posters if they are prepared to show me their hand first and then sate betting - I wonder how much they would be prepared to lose before they say it's not fair......
By the way if a deal is secured the Benn act will be defunct as Boris will send two letters we are leaving 11 pm on the 31st.......

Wrong no one knows and the DUP will not hold all the cards - also what ever happened to the EU not opening the May deal on the backstop?

And pete that's because Brexit is a stupid idea. Guess what? 17.4m were mugs. They(you) were lied to. There is no such thing as a good Brexit which is why your analogy above is correct but only in so far as the buyer has to buy a car. If he leaves without a car he has to walk everywhere. And they only sell that type of EU trade car in that showroom.
 
The EU are only prepared to replace the backstop with a legal guarantee of the same thing; Preservation of the Single Market and no border in Ireland. They have been saying as much since Britain voted for Brexit.

The only real negotiation going on involves changing Britian's opposition to that position. Ultimately if we are to have a deal that does not involve the entire country aligning to the EU, then its to have NI align and have a border down the Irish Sea. Is there any other way?

The barrier to that agreement is the DUP, so Boris either has to have an election to remove his dependency on them, or hope that he gets enough support from the rest of Parliament to push it through. At the moment that is unlikely if the DUP don't concede, so we're most likely looking at an extension followed by an election.

What I think he's going to try though is to agree with the EU at the very last second and then immediately put it before Parliament (hence Saturday's emergency session) - it's not a bad gamble, because it might just scrape through.

They haven't opened it up, they've asked the UK to give more concession and BOJO has gone back to the EU with their initial deal that the UK rejected.

He's gone backwards.
