David Davis has had his hands tied by May and her Remain advisers, she doesn't want to leave the EU, she campaigned for Remain during the referendum campaign.  May is a dead woman walking, she even tried to end the parliamentary session a week early because she was terrified a leadership challenge was moments away.  After the recess comes to an end in September it will also signal the end of her ...

Let me just correct that for you: It’s funny how arch-brexiteer David Davis has been trying to get a deal for two years and failed miserably. The truth is, despite him being an idiot, Trump (more likely his advisors) was far more worried about the retaliatory tariffs, which have already led to him having to bail out mid-West farmers to the tune of $12bn!! Yet more fake news ...

The EU sells around £80 billion more in good and services to us than we sell to them, we are important to the EU.  On the other hand, our exports to the EU have declined rapidly over the last 10 years, it's a shrinking market for us, our future is with the wider world.

Gammonside? Fake news? They’re printing 350 billion ration books! You don’t want a deal with the EU, yet even Trump realises that he has to! You’re as mad as a box of frogs.  And no, that’s also not a racist term...

I'm rather pleased that the EU has rejected May's ultra-soft Brexit proposal presented at Cheqeurs the other week, it means we can now get on preparing for a no-deal hard Brexit, which is what we should have been doing since the day after the referendum.  The EU has no intention of doing a deal with the UK, and hard Brexit is the only option, it's certainly what I voted for.

Care to provide a link to the ration book story, Mrs C, or is it just more fake news from the Remoaners?

Where's the paper coming from for the ration books? Sweden?
