Do we think we will have a deal finalised and we will leave before October? Anything could occur at this point.

[Politics] Brexit

It seems like the government is hoping everybody forgets about Brexit over the Summer so it can crack on like nothing has happened in September.

How Ironic ... you haven't noticed it's in the EU's and the Irish political interests to claim the only options are customs union or hard border and dismissing all alternatives setting us up for the next phase of negotiations where remaing in a customs union is the default option. With the threat of an accidental no deal on the horizon they suddenly start looking for the solutions they said weren't there and say they can be found .... sucker.

Never mind your fantasies in regards to the non existent solutions to the Irish border and, I think The M20 returning to normal and Operation Brock being ended shows you what's going to happen - At least on current thinking and unless and until some right wing toff who loves The UK so much he wants to turn it into Singapore becomes PM.
(£30m wasted and 89 lorries and a dustcart on a January morning - never mind direct rule for Northern Ireland and everything that would entail, that's 'real deadline pressure' there to show them we were serious.

That’d be nice. A couple of years down the line somebody in Parliament asks
“did we? Wasn’t there a Brexit thing a while back? I seem to recall something. I wonder what happened there”
“Oh that, not much came of that. Dodged a bullet there”
Oh, one can dream.

2 week recess for the ERG to plot their next move, though it is rumoured that quite a few members have left the group. Mogg probably hasn't had as many people quit under his chairmanship as May has under her leadership though.
The break might be a good thing as the press should not have any reasons to shout Traitor and they can all calm down a bit, maybe some clearer thinking will emerge.

Since he doesn't want to help, these are the links [MENTION=33253]JC Footy Genius[/MENTION] is quoting.
You may find when reading them however, that your summary may differ from JCFGs

It's a shame that we're throwing all this money down the shitter on Brexit when it could have been spent on the NHS, or Polar Bears or Flood Defences in Yorkshire........
£4bn spent/wasted on No Deal prep.

Cheers, thanks for your non cooperation. Having now read the links, there seems there is no concrete plans, just ideas. Bit like finding a cure for the common cold. People have been seeking it for centuries but none available!!!

Can we separate London from the UK too? Population greater than Scotland, majority remain.
Of course there are no concrete plans, they've been working on possible options. I'm happy to take any bets that they find a solution (should one be needed) before anyone finds a cure for the common cold (and you've had a few centuries head-start).

There were two solutions the day after the referendum (I bet you can guess what they are), but it seems that in the 3 years since, no one in Ireland, Britain or the EU has managed to come up with an alternative solution, unless they are have kept it to themselves and are waiting for the right moment.
Like that point when they pushed the decision on the border back 2 years and re-named it the backstop. That sort of moment would have been a good time to reveal a solution, as it seems no-one likes the backstop.
It's good to see they are still trying though and I would guess that we could just keep delaying Brexit until they find a solution. It agree it may be quicker than the cure for the common cold.

London is the capital of England. That should answer your ridiculous question.
It's just dreadful the way people put ridiculous things in answer to your perfectly sane plan for the Brexit border issue.
(And I don't dislike your answer at all, of both the 'third option' solutions suggested on this thread it's definitely my favourite
)
