    Lets face it right wing Tories aren't fit to govern.

    Dunno what's so complicated about it, everything within 200 miles of the UK is ours. I look forward to Cornish boats sailing up the Seine to claim their ancient fishing rights.

    The government doesn't need to reach a deal acceptable to the majority of voters - they need to reach a deal that leaves the UK "better off" (whether economically, strategically, etc) than before Brexit that they couldn't have achieved without Brexit. Otherwise the last 12 months has been pointless.

    Exit by default and blaming it on the EU might be politically acceptable, but doesn't benefit the UK at all.

    Who do you think will suffer most in the event of no deal, UK or EU?
