Brexiteers willingly sacrificing what little moral compass they had left, repugnant. They are the exact equivalent of Trumps base and I know to drunken racist uncle gammon that won't be an insult but it should be.
While I understand the anger, there are those who voted Brexit, rightly or wrongly, to allow the UK greater control over its political and economic decisions. while I don't agree with it, I can understand it. But the principled among them will be disturbed and appalled by the Government actions yesterday. Anyone with any consideration for the rule of law should.
 
You'd have thought the last week might have told you that 'a deal' is not always a good deal, yet despite the absence of anything pertaining to detail about the UK/Japan arrangement, you already seem to have decided that it's a cracking outcome for the UK.
It appears that this deal has stricter rules on State aid, than the EU are asking for in the current trade negotiations. The latter apparently being one of the 2 main stumbling blocks to concluding a deal. Go figure.

Apparently the reason the Cummings Govt wanted to push back against state aid rules (not exactly a Tory ideology btw) is that Dom has had a brain fart that he can create a State own tech giant to rival Google.
His recent track record on tech related issues is obviously impeccable.........

Down with unelected bureaucrats though.

I doubt he wants to rival Google. Call me a cynic, but the reason he'll be doing it is to siphon off more public funds to his family members who are in the business.

If he wasn't a buzzword spouting bluffer, he wouldn't have recruited someone as hopeless as Dido Harding to front up the track and trace app. He typifies this administration. Better if he just sods off and gets a Mike Bracken or Beth Noveck in who not only know what they're talking about but have delivered it.
 
So now that Boris has thrown down the gauntlet to the EU regarding Barniers threat, how long do we think it’ll be until the EU issue a ‘clarification’......

Erm, didn't Barnier already rebuke this nonsense point by point?

And yes, hes done such a great job wrestling concessions from the EU thus far that hes just chucked the deal he went to the country with in the bin.

Which was already worse than the one May herself had agreed upon. It appears it's relatively easy to pull the wool over the eyes of those who are desperate to believe.

That's ridiculous. He got absolutely taken apart last night by milliband, was laughed at openly then sneaked out of the chamber. Hes throwing gauntlets down nowhere the big fat lazy stupid mess.
 
Lest we forget, the National Institute of Economic and Social Research predicted last year that Johnson's agreement would see the UK economy smaller by 3.5% in 10 years than it would have been with continued EU membership, versus 3% under May's agreement. That sounds small, but it works out at around £70bn. Suffice to say, a no deal flop out would see the economy shrink by 5.6% more than it would have done.
