‘Boris Johnson is wrecking Brexit deal’
2019-08-16
Yes, that was the plan. Why is anyone surprised?
[DAWN] Britannia’s former top finance official accused Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conserv­ative government on Wednesday of steering the country toward a damaging no-deal Brexit that isn’t backed by Parliament or British voters.

Johnson, in turn, alleged that anti-Brexit UK politicians were collaborating with the Europe
...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum...
an Union to block Britannia’s exit from the bloc.

Philip Hammond, a Conservative politician who stepped down as Treasury chief just before Johnson became prime minister last month, said "leaving the EU without a deal would be just as much a betrayal of the referendum result as not leaving at all." Hammond told the BBC that Johnson had moved from a tough negotiating stance to a "wrecking" one by insisting on changes to the withdrawal agreement between Britannia and the EU that the bloc would not accept.

He said that while he believed Johnson wanted a deal, "there are other people around him whose agenda is different" an apparent reference to advisers such as Dominic Cummings, one of the architects of the country’s 2016 decision to leave the EU.

Johnson has vowed that Britannia will leave the EU on the scheduled date of Oct 31 just 11 weeks away with or without a divorce deal. He is demanding the EU make major changes to the agreement the bloc made with his predecessor, Theresa May. The EU refuses to renegotiate, so a no-deal Brexit appears increasingly likely.

Britain voted to leave the EUSSR. There's no such thing as no deal. There's just a WTO deal. Which is the best deal.

Tariffs up, VAT down and see the economy boom.
