Tory Brexit DOOM™: No deal

[BlasterBates]

Matthew Parris. You may as well ask Nick Clegg. The ultra-remain journos and commentators have reinvigorated their ailing careers with the smell of rat droppings at every turn.

Look, a squirrel!

I predict a painful few years for the remain ultras

Will this be as accurate as your prediction last year that there wouldn't be a transitional deal because the Brexiteers wouldn't accept it?

There will not be. Its a hard Brexit in 2019.

The transition deal is the EEA, in effect. That's why Farage and Rees-Mogg are up in arms. The transition period will go on for years. By the time Rees-Mogg decides he'd had enough there will be a GE anyway.

Interesting as Michael Heseltine has said, it is highly likely in the longterm that the UK will adopt the Euro.

Oh? Please, furnish us with the details of this EEA-like transition deal (that is yet to be agreed), which if i'm not mistaken - the EU has effectively said we cannot move onto yet and therefore the specifics cannot yet be known to anyone?

Funny little crystal ball you've got there

As for MH - hasn't he been predicting that for years? The enraged remoaner that he is. Furious with the plebs for their democratic decision

Why not just hard Brexit now, it’s clear the incompetents in charge have no ability to negotiate with the EU, so rather than wasting a few hundred million on pointless discussions and further uncertainty for actual businesses, reprogram Maybot to say “OK, we’re walking away now”.

Otherwise the country is pouring the money down the drain for further things like the Florence debacle.

Need time to prepare for it. And have to give 2 years notice to leave.

I agree about Florence though.

Ultra-remainer? What's that then? How can I tell if someone is just a remainer or an ultra-remainer?

Don't make be trawl back through your appalling predictions in recent years.

I've always predicted either no deal or a deal that is substantially different than the EEA. The former is consistent with no transition. Soft Brexit is heading the same way as CretinWatcher and remain ultras who are, ironically, now indistinguishable from the most ardent kippers. Admittedly, the former prefer blue leotards and the EU flag.

A blue leotard. HTH.

A Remainer or simply "Remoaner" is someone who sits under a table with a paper bag over their head and says "woe is me", which is where Brexiteers like to see them, whereas an "Ultra-Remoaner" is someone who simply doesn't believe the government will actually manage to get the UK out of the EU because it is such an impossibly difficult task.
