That's a bit below the belt Kath, kicking a man when he's down. :( You may be able to work whilst depressed but I don't feel that I can and my GP and a Tribunal agrees. Not everyone's depression is the same.

Maybe you should show a bit more empathy towards people in the same boat as you then - instead of glorifying and singing the praises of the likes of Johnson, Patel, Raab and all the other Conservative Shitgibbons who are going to be running the country then!

UK now has a Brexit war cabinet:

 

UK prime minister Boris Johnson set up a "war cabinet" of six senior ministers over the weekend to make decisions on Brexit, and is also preparing for a no-deal emergency budget, ministers said.

 

The government in London is working on the assumption that the EU will not renegotiate the Brexit divorce deal, and is preparing to leave the bloc without an agreement, Reuters reported.

 

Johnson said last week that unless the EU dumps the Irish backstop part of the deal (an insurance policy negotiated by the UK and the EU to prevent a hard border on the island of Ireland after Brexit), the UK will withdraw its membership without a deal.

 

Michael Gove, the new minister in charge of no-deal preparations, wrote said that an agreement might not be struck with Brussels by October, when the UK will leave the EU by default, but there was a "new clarity of mission, we will exit the EU on October 31, no 'ifs', no 'buts', no more delay".

 

He said Johnson's government will make "intensive efforts" to secure a better deal from the EU.

 

"We still hope they will change their minds, but we must operate on the assumption that they will not ... No deal is now a very real prospect and we must make sure that we are ready," Gove wrote in The Sunday Times newspaper.

 

Sajid Javid, former MEP and new chancellor, told the Sunday Telegraph there would be "significant extra funding" this week to get Britain "fully ready to leave" the EU on 31 October, with or without a deal.

 

He added that preparations would include financing Britain's "biggest ever public information campaigns" to prepare business and citizens.

 

Johnson's so-called "war cabinet", includes Gove, Javid, foreign minister Dominic Raab, Brexit secretary Steve Barclay, and attorney general Geoffrey Cox, and will meet every Monday.

 

The new home secretary, Priti Patel, who is not in the group, wrote in the Mail on Sunday that she would stop the "automatic right of entry for EU citizens, with or without work".

 

The Sunday Times said that Vote Leave campaign mastermind Dominic Cummings, now a senior advisor to Johnson, told the prime minister's advisers that they have to deliver Brexit "by any means necessary".

 

The media offensive of ministers over the weekend can also be seen as putting pressure on the EU - as the bloc has so far said there would be no renegotiations of the divorce deal.

 

Johnson on Monday is heading to Scotland, which voted heavily to remain in the EU, and where his Conservative Party's Scottish leader Ruth Davidson, who is firmly against a no-deal Brexit.

 

Meanwhile, former finance minister Philip Hammond, who quit last week before Johnson took office, held talks with the opposition Labour party about how to stop a no-deal Brexit, according to media reports.

 

Over the weekend, the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has warned that neither the UK nor the EU is ready for a no-deal Brexit on 31 October.

 

The CBI said that in a no-deal Brexit some 24 of 27 areas of the UK economy would experience disruption, especially smaller companies, which are less well prepared.

 

 

It's all just PR isn't it, we know exactly that the EU are not going to budge and Johnson will push for No Deal, but he won't be able to get it through to House. Which in turn will likely lead to a No Confidence Motion. Then Johnson will run his campaign on how good 'No Deal' is for the country, how we'll all lose our jobs and kill our econpmy for 10 years.

 

Problem we will have is all the planning for No Deal will be for 9-12 months. In this time I am sure there will be bumps, we will get through them, but it's all very short termism. Rumours Vauxhall will move their entire production to the EU is profitability falls.

 

And Johnson is also planning the biggest government advertising campaign ever in peacetime on how to prepare for No Deal. Yes, they will be spending public money on advising people how to minimise the effect of a policy they can stop with a simple letter. No doubt this campaign will also try to put all of the blame on the EU.

 

Meanwhile, Dominic Raab has been telling his first lies since getting his new job. He claims that he said in an interview in the referendum campaign that we would leave without a deal if necessary. He didn't. In fact, he said we would get a great deal. The possibility of leaving without a deal wasn't even mentioned. Leave campaigners are going for that age-old tactic of assuming that, if they tell a lie often enough, it will miraculously become the truth. It won't. It will still be a lie.

I think the difference between now and 2016 is lots of journalists are happy to call out the lies a bit more. It will be fun to watch the likes of Raab and Patel try and worm their way out of things. Both are quite inexperienced so I've no doubt they're going to get shown up a lot over the coming months.

How will The House be able to stop No Deal when it's the default option though? Let's say he just delays and delays it'll just happen won't it and we'll leave and about time. It's just gone beyond a joke now. We're the laughing stock of the world. My wife's relatives in the Philippines can't understand why when a referendum was won by leavers we're still in there. :rolleyes:

 

Boris says we're leaving then, no ifs no buts and no more delays. Let's hope he's right.

Three cheers for the magic money tree making a comeback!!

 

No questions from the mainstream media about how it's funded, they only interrogate Labour about that.

Tell your wife's relatives that the referendum wasn’t binding.

The same way we've not been able to anything through The House.. there is legislation that the motion needs to be voted on by MPs. Right now there is not a majority for anything so we will be left in limbo. I can't see us just falling out of the EU on a technicality, it will cause political chaos and then there will definitely be a general election.

 

As for your last point Chris, you should probably speak to Johnson and his cabinet who you idolise so much. We would have left the EU by now if they had voted for the Withdrawal Agreement.

I really do not understand the complete ignorance of people when they fail to consider what is still happening in Northern Ireland and still think No Deal is REMOTELY a good idea when it will force an immediate border between Ireland and Northern Ireland

Looks like there could be a border poll in Scotland and Ireland soon.

Yes but the DUP opposed it too and the ERG lot.

We're the laughing stock of the world.

 

Yes, we are. And having lived outside the UK for a few months in a multicultural city, I can tell you from first hand experience it's not because we voted to leave and are still in the EU. It's because of how our government are handling negotiations and pushing for a 'no deal' with all of it's disastrous consequences. To quote a friend 'Sorry buddy, but the world is laughing at the UK right now and what it's about to do to itself'.

Yes it was the ERG in its entirity that didn't vote for the WA mostly, of which are strong Johnson supporters.

 

I don't actually know what the DUP want with Brexit. Infact, I don't think anyone actually does, not even the DUP.

We're just not tough enough with the EU. May let them walk all over her. It's time now that Boris tells them to F*** off on 31st October, keeps any money we still owe them and forges trade deals with the rest of the world. I'll repeat, China, India, Japan, Far East, Canada, Australia, US, South America. The world is our oyster! We don't need the EU. Our defence can come from the US too. It's time a British politician stood up to them. Farage sure would.
