Businesses responsible for Brexit mess as Boris on the verge of signing an "historic" deal

Now that Boris has almost pulled off this magnificent feat it looks like businesses are going to mess it all up.

EU's brazen plan to get deal by 'tricking' Brexiteers

Reading and listening to comments on the radio, the strategy seems to be working

You mean Brexidiots are being easily duped? Come on now, I find that hard to believe you only have to hear the intelligent postings of their brethren on here to know that they are super smart, the smartest, the best, so no way they will not spot being blindsided

The BBC is between the lines hinting Boris' hard line might actually be working and has caught the EU off guard, who thought he wouldn't call their bluff.

I'm still not going to rule out some deal being done, unlikely as it seemed last week.

A big palava for the UK if there is no free trade deal, an equally big palava for the EU. A deal will be done after all the fun and games.

Spuddy, BR14, Minnie and Ziggy .... with their wife. For those wondering, Spuddy is the one hiding at the back. BR14 is the angry looking one.

Looks like there will be a rerun of last year where the EU will pretend to hand Boris a victory, a chalice.

Watch out for the victory parade in November as the EU "caves".

EU plan to pretend Boris wins

One official described the current standoff as theatrics. Another called Friday’s statement an expected and artificial provocation.

When Bojo does his big statements, these are not aimed at an audience in Brussels, these speeches are direct to his Brexidiot supporters. Anyone can see this and it's certainly not fooling the negotiators in the EU. Only the Brexidiots are constantly fooled, but hey, what's new?

Have they decided where they would be exporting all that stuff yet?

I hear there are various shortages on Mars

Anywhere within gunboat steaming range of imperial coaling stations.
