What new fresh hell is this?

Tomorrow, there is a 50% chance, maybe greater, that Johnson's WA will get approval from the Commons.

This is not Brexit, but it does, if you like, honour the referendum mandate. If you ignore the lies and lawbreaking.

But yet to come is the trade negotiations, as outlined in the Political Declaration (PD).

The PD is where all other matters are agreed and squeezed into what could be a FTA or something not so good.

The PD covers what will be discussed in the extension period, the WA unlocks the extension, but that extension lasts just 14 months.

So, 14 months to agree everything that's not in the WA.

And at the end, if there is no agreement, the UK leaves without no deal.

Yes, no deal Brexit returns again.

But the difference is, there is nothing anyone can do about it, as the UK would have left the EU, so could not undo that unless it went through the painfully slow A49 process.

Brexiteers are being sold on backing Johnson's deal so that no deal can be brought back and not be stopped.

All depends on whether Parliament can see this and vote against it. Or not.

Numbers are tight, and could go either way.

Johnson has already sold the DUP down the river, as the agreement covering NI would kick in anyway. Its the rest of Britain that would be fucked.
