Once again, contradictions

Useles bunch of muppets....

Gove yesterday:

While we are optimistic about the future, we are realistic about the need to plan for every eventuality. The EU’s leaders have, so far, said they will not change their approach — it’s the unreformed withdrawal agreement, take it or leave it.We still hope they will change their minds, but we must operate on the assumption that they will not. The prime minister has been crystal clear that means we must prepare to leave the EU without a deal on October 31, and I fully support this approach.
No deal is now a very real prospect, and we must make sure that we are ready. A lot has already been done. Thanks to hard work by ministers past and present, and outstanding efforts by the civil service, we have made significant progress.

However his boss, Johnson today said he did not accept Gove’s claim that the government was now working on the assumption that a no deal Brexit was the most likely outcome.

No, absolutely not. My assumption is that we can get a new deal, we’re aiming for a new deal. But, of course, Michael is absolutely right that it’s responsible for any government to prepare for a no deal if we absolutely have to.

But then again, he is on planet ****wit

I think it is absolutely right that we should go for a deal, and there is every chance that we can get a deal. And I think with goodwill and with common sense, that is what we will achieve.

Oh, and the million to one seems to have changed:

Dickwad:

Look, my approach is to be very outward-going. I don’t want the UK to be aloof or hanging back. I want us to engage, to hold out the hand, to go the extra mile, the extra thousand miles. And what we want to do is to make it absolutely clear that the backstop is no good, it’s deal, it has got to go. The withdrawal agreement is dead, it’s got to go. But there is scope to do a new deal.

In our approach to the negotiations we are not going to be aloof, we are not going to be stand-offish, we’re are not going to wait for our friends to come to us. We are going to reach out, we are going to engage and we’re going to ask for obviously very, very profound changes to the current basis for leaving the EU. The present withdrawal agreement is dead, the backstop must go, but once the backstop goes then it might be possible for progress to be made.

Doesn't want to meet them though....unless they do what he says...he's leaving, not them...

The PM has been clear that he wants to meet EU leaders and negotiate, but not to sit down and be told that the EU cannot possibly reopen the withdrawal agreement. And that is the message that he has been giving to leaders when he has spoken to them on the telephone so far ...

The EU has said up to now it is not willing to renegotiate [the backstop] ... The prime minister would be happy to sit down with leaders when that position changes. But he is making it clear to everybody he speaks to that that needs to happen.

There is going to be a small cosmetic change to the WA at the last minute.

"However his boss, Johnson today said he did not accept Gove’s claim that the government was now working on the assumption that a no deal Brexit was the most likely outcome."

The assumption is that "no-deal" will be the only outcome.

HTH

The EU has agreed to add an additional space after each full stop.

Negotiating tactics! Good 'innit ?

Useless twat:

Ben Habib, the Brexit Party MEP for London and a businessman, said Remainers were driving down the pound.He said that Remainers had "hijacked" a no-deal Brexit, and convinced "everyone" that it is a disaster.
The MEP said: "The pound is down because Remainers, including former PM Theresa May and the EU machinery, have convinced everyone - including the markets - that no deal is a disaster.
"They have successfully hijacked that scenario. They are wrong."

Slightly different to what he said previously where he said it was a good thing that the pound would fall. He has described the "volatility" of Brexit provides an opportunity for his "opportunistic" company to profit. He said: "The pound would fall in value… our [company's] income streams would go up in value. So we're quids in on that front."

Appearing on BBC's Newsnight to promote his party's stance of leaving the EU without a deal, the London MEP Ben Habib was challenged to admit he would be "delighted" to line his pockets this way.Presenter Emily Maitlis pointed out that Habib's own business, First Property Group, has set aside £180 million to scoop up assets in the event of a slowdown in the UK property market.
"So you line your own pockets with everyone else going bust," she said.
She reminded him of statements he had made in the past: "You said, 'If we get a vote for Brexit and the commentators are right, sterling will weaken and the markets will go into a degree of volatility. We'll be looking at that as a great opportunity to buy assets in the UK'," she quoted.

"So when things are going down, when sterling weakens, as that is going to happen, we think, in no-deal, you profit."

Another ****tard Brexit MEP.

Andrea Jenkyns MP for Morley and Outwood thinks we need to leave the EU to ban ships transiting whale meat docking in UK ports. The European Parliament voted to ban ships transiting whale meat docking in EU ports in July 2017, but the UK government did not act on their resolution.
The EU also bans the trade of whale products.
