    A “deal” will need to be a Withdrawal Agreement. It needs to be agreed, then approved by both the EU plus our own Parliament, and then supporting legislation needs to be completed.

    If it’s a twist on the existing WA then there’s a transition period included, so it doesn’t all need to be in place by B-day. We will need to seek an extension to be able to get the supporting legislation in place though.

    It's about a decade to finalise a deal with the EU. Probably 2 decades to replicate the deals (on worse terms) with other countries that we already had via the EU (who used collective clout to negotiate very good deals). And in between the US will be picking the juicy bits out of the carcass that used to be the UK.

    Well done, stupids.

    It would be funny if BoJo got a deal and then parliament rejected it.
