So, today, Wednesday May and the EU could not finalise the outline trade agreement.
The proposed summit is now off until Sunday and Merkal will only travel if there is a deal to agree to, not to do more negotiations.
In Parliament today, May said it was either her deal or no Brexit, mainly for the ears of the ERG, but earlier in the week she had been threatening Leavers in her party with my deal of no deal. Playing against each other, which when they find out won’t end well.
The reality, and truth is that the no deal option has all but been ruled out as too damaging. The Government has said it will reveal its economic forecast for both no deal and May’s deal to Parliament. If they exist.
Corbyn is still under the illusion there is time to negotiate more, as he said if May can’t get a good deal stand aside and let him. Hmmmmmm
Thing is, the clock is ticking, and unless something happens, the UK will leave the EU by operation of international law in that the Articles of the European Union will no longer apply.
It really doesn’t matter what happens domestically, as long as a decision is made, if not we crash out with no deal. Chaos.
And Spain has said that they will not ratify if there isn’t something substantial about Gibraltar. Now, Merkal probably won’t stand for last minute additions, not just from the UK but from other EU members peddling their own desires. This is about group responsibility not individual member desires. Though, clearly the Irish border is, but that is a fundamental part of Brexit.
