Isn't this week supposed to be Johnson's deadline for the EU to get a deal?

does anyone still think he's trying to get a deal?
No not really. I think he’ll resign in January.
I believe hes been spinning it that its his deadline for "signifigant progress" to have been made - expect some fudged announcement at the EU leaders summit on 15th that will give barnier a couple more weeks to finalise things
that said it still has to then be rattified by national parliaments and i could see somebody like france throwing a spanner in the works at the last moment (though I think brexiteers would love that as a chance to blame the french - its possibly the only thing they like more than blaming the EU)
They have no shame but get away with it over and over again. I feel sorry for the farmers who saw through the Tory bullshit, unfortunately I live in a farming community and there were a lot of Tory voters... hope they feel stupid and angry today but alas, they won't.
suspect your half right - I also expect their anger to somehow be directed to the EU
Is this story even being run by any of the media? It's a huge deal for the farming industry.
I grew up in E. Yorks, which is a massive farming county. It's as Tory and Brexit as it gets. They will just blame it on the EU 'punishing us'.
Probably not as much as it should be tbf, but isn't being totally ignored.

It's almost as if all the things Brexiters were warned about will come true. Strange.
Why is it up to the EU to fix your mess, Grant Schapps/Michael Green?
Hate that cnut. He’s the one that was trying to convince Poland to veto an important eu bill to help the brexiteers
But they will still claim the morale high ground.
If I'm not wrong this particular fella had some very bad takes around the Irish border as well.
Doesn’t surprise me, he’s a gobshite. Definitely in my top 10 Tory wanker list
Project fear mate. Just fly yourself over the channel waving a union jack and it'll be fine.
He has bad takes on many, many subjects.

The mental gymnastics are incredible but fortunately they've got a large portion of thickos on their side who will believe the headline, and don't have enough attention span to look at the content. Not that they would critique it anyway, they would just nod their heads to every sentence and mutter "Brecksit, brecksit"
Also; Remainers "legitimised" nothing. Nobody in Scotland said "Well, the big bosses in Westminster said it's ok so we can do it as well now". That thinking is part of the bloody problem.
Really despise Harwood, Grimes et al, all born from Brexit now spouting their lies on their platform.

Thought we had an oven ready deal
See all the Brexiteers are happy with this approach. Sickening that in a pandemic, we are now going into no deal. Absolute joke of a Government.
"Easiest deal in history".
But I thought we would fudge together a last minute deal?!
This has been the intention all along, if you disagree you haven’t been paying attention. It’s disaster capitalism at its absolute worst where the capitalists are manufacturing a disaster of epic proportions.
Let's hope there's a silver lining and this ends the Conservative party.
Good one!
Why on Earth would it?
You can keep thinking that if you wish, we're a bit off the last minute yet. The EU summit didn't end yesterday, it's in it's second day today. Then Barnier will have a couple of days to put together what they've decided and bring it to Johnson next week. And then it might be the last minute, or might not, we'll see.
You'd hope after more than a decade of making the country far worse people would wake up and see that they are a cancer. Unfortunately, the Conservatives are like cockroaches and survive all manner of scandals and controversies.
Can a Brexiteer explain to me what incentive there would be for a manufacturer to remain in the UK in the event of no deal?
