Brexit trade talks until New Year's Eve as latest deadline is missed

[AtW]

"Brexit trade talks could go on until the end of the year after the EU abandoned Sunday’s negotiating deadline, amid rising expectations that a deal could now be done.

Sunday had been billed as a deadline for a decision on deal or no deal, but Prime Minister Boris Johnson and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, agreed to continue talks.

Neither the UK nor the EU has set a new deadline, meaning a deal could be ratified as late as December 31, the day the current Brexit transition period ends.

Mr Johnson insisted on Sunday no deal was still the “most likely” outcome but Ms von der Leyen said a phone call between the two leaders had been “constructive and useful”."

Eventually, there will have to be some sort of deal bit it this year, next year or whenever. BoJo could easily make a short term deal or extend transition. By not doing so it is costing business millions of £s each day. BoJo is s**t scared or the ERG and so he is hanging on but with no plan for a way out. There is a minority of hard core of Brexiters who just hate Europe no matter what some of whom are on CUC, they are not patriots, they are self satisfying right wing fanatics who sacrifice the rest of the UK.

Brexit is only about one thing i.e European immigrants.

Brexit is only about one thing - Boris becoming PM.

Now it's only about one thing - how to keep Boris still being PM.

Yes, that is Boris' reason but not the reason for his Tory voting Brexiters.

The ERG don't hate Europe at all. They just see Brexit as an opportunity to get wealthier.

They were getting wealthy on the back of hating Europe
