I have been wondering since the election whether we were going to get Johnson backpedalling on the 'no alignment with EU' and getting us BRINO, just like he did on the 'No border in the Irish sea' in order to get the WA over the line. Or, alternatively, whether he was going to go full train wreck 'no deal' (or Australia deal as he now likes to call it - how gullible does he think people are 
)?
The latest developments with his cabinet tend to point towards the latter, although I still think the former more likely, because shirley even Johnson wouldn't ?
Still as long as people know what they voted for

Says the poster who talks about his holidays abroad. Pot, kettle, black.
Still, he knew what he was voting for, eh?
Whoops, got caught out by the parody

EU Commissioners are appointed, then pledge allegiance to the EU over their own country and the EU gets to agree/reject the appointee anyway. They cannot be sacked for incompetence, all of the commissioners dealings are done in secret and no one knows, except those who search for it, who their EU Commissioner is anyway!!

In the UK the Prime Minister, with the assistance of the Foreign Secretary appointed their Commisioner. Who can sack the Prime Minister, and who can listen to 10 Downing Street meetings which are held in secret?

Without getting to technical, it was pretty obvious to many that " Frictionless Trade " was a pipe dream from the off. Johnson can't accept any alignment with the EU or it looks like he has sold out.I have been wondering since the election whether we were going to get Johnson backpedalling on the 'no alignment with EU' and getting us BRINO, just like he did on the 'No border in the Irish sea' in order to get the WA over the line.

So, expect the worst but with the EU getting all the blame because they won't lower their standards or bend the rules for one country.
The truth is though that that isn't sustainable for too long.
Eventually, and quicker than he possibly thinks, he'll need better than an 'Australia' (no-)deal.
All but the most idiotic of Brexiteers have realised they’ve been had. Not even Johnson is presenting Brexit as anything else but a chance for him and his yes men to cash in.

Ah. You're back. I thought you had been so irritated by typical retainers who won't answer questions that you'd gone on another business trip.
Welcome, by the way.
I foresee a lot of poorly run airports, getting a mention, over the coming months.

You're right, Schiphol is a badly run airport. What is so funny, is the comment that it isn't the Brexit he voted for. The sense of entitlement is hilarious.

I really can't see anything beyond the three options
1/ Soft Brexit with regulatory alignment
2/ No agreement and WTO
3̶/̶ ̶W̶i̶t̶h̶d̶r̶a̶w̶ ̶a̶r̶t̶i̶c̶l̶e̶ ̶5̶0̶
Shirley, any negotiation now will only be minor fine-tuning on one of the above
