I've believed since Johnson won the election that the government/Cummings don't want a deal and the plan all along has been for a No Deal outcome. Nothing that has happened since the election has done anything to change my mind on this and the latest shenanigans just make me more sure on it. The only thing they are after now is a way of blaming the EU for the No Deal outcome.

You have an 80 seat majority. You decide who negotiates. Just because the warnings and general disbelief I had that the crap many fell for is coming to fruition, (NI border anyone?), isnt really my problem to deal with.

Whatever deal we get will benefit a few rich people pulling the strings; but yeah, it is for all of us, and its your fault. (You/Your being Leave btw).

You know these rich people you and others keep mentioning, any chance of saying who they are, by name, or is this just another remainer myth .....

'David Lilley, a partner at metals hedge fund RK Capital, gave £15,000 to Mr Johnson, as detailed in the MP’s register of financial interests. He previously put £100,000 into the Leave campaign.

Other hedge fund supporters of Mr Johnson include Jon Wood, founder of SRM Global and a long-term Tory backer, who donated £75,000 worth of funding, office and staffing costs; and Johan Christofferson, founder of Christofferson, Robb and Co, who donated £36,000.

Mr Johnson also attracted funding from Jamie Reuben, the son of billionaire property mogul David Reuben and a managing partner at Melbury Capital, who donated £50,000; and Alex Wilmot-Sitwell, a partner at the boutique investment bank Perella Weinberg, who donated £5,000.

Charles Montanaro, who runs Montanaro Investment Managers, donated £8,000. “I was happy to make the contribution in my personal capacity to Boris Johnson’s campaign because, after careful consideration, I am convinced that he is the best person to negotiate and deliver Brexit,” he said.'

So just normal political party donations. Could you now list the Union donations to Labour or any donations to the SNP...
