LOL!!!!!!
My post in the previous thread:
Good discussion with Jacob Rees Mogg and Caroline Flint with Boulton on Sky and remarkable agreement between them. We tend to have sub titles on sometimes in our old age and it was hilarious when Jacob responded to Boulton re Heseltine and Blair interventions in Latin and the sub titles couldn't handle it.
It may be unlikely but Jacob is getting a cult following (where have we heard that before)

Where PBers got this idea of Cable being a "leftie" from is beyond me.
Nonetheless knowing he had us over a barrel he said he wouldn't continue unless he got the same as her. The production company were scared shi*less. I asked if I could speak to him that evening. They said I could but it wouldn't do any good. He and his agent were adamant.
I met him that night and told him that I would re shoot all his scenes and he could go back to Paris. At six o'clock the following morning he apologised.
It seems good negotiators are hard to come by........

If the contest is post Brexit, we are not in Kansas anymore, and whether someone believes in Brexit or not becomes obsolete.

As the EU chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, underlined the need for clarity on the British side at the end of the latest round of exit negotiations, soft Brexiters in the cabinet are now confident they have achieved a consensus about an “off the shelf” transition deal.
The claim that a collective view has been reached comes after weeks of a brutal briefing war over competing visions of Brexit since the general election wiped out Theresa May’s majority, culminating in the prime minister’s admonition this week that there is “no such thing as an unsackable minister”, and sowing confusion in Brussels about the reliability of the British negotiating position.
But as David Davis concluded Brexit talks in Brussels on Thursday, the senior cabinet source told the Guardian that the mood has shifted significantly and that ministers now hoped to agree a deal as soon as possible to give certainty to British business.
“If you ask business when they want to see it agreed, they’d say tomorrow,” the source said, adding that such a deal could last up to four years – but more likely three – and could be expected to involve continued free movement of people.

Do you remember how there was going to be no discussion of trade until after the Exit Bill had been agreed? Well, you know what, the Exit Bill has not been agreed, and there have been quite substantive discussions about trade.
This is good, because it suggests that despite all the headlines, the EU is prioritizing a trade deal, and the UK's strategy of "nothing is agreed until everything is agreed" is working. My sources (well, source) tells me that we are very close on citizens rights, and Northern Ireland, and - while the devil is in the details - the broadest of outlines of an FTA have been agreed.
I wouldn't pay any attention to the "Brexit Bill" discussions. The UK wants to demonstrate the EU didn't get everything it wanted; the EU wants to demonstrate that it "hangs tough". Truth be told, if there is a multi-year adjustment period, then any bill gets absorbed without complication in a series of decreasing payments.
There is a single fly in this ointment, and that is that Liam Fox is the only dissenter in the cabinet. May, Hammond and the rest are broadly in agreement on the need for a 3-4 year adjustment period. (This covers a wide variety of views, of course. Some will accept limited ECJ rulings and FoM in this period, others insist we must be free sooner.) The exception is Liam Fox who has argued for a transition period "of two to four months".
Now call my cynical, but I don't believe Dr Fox genuinely believes a three month transition is optimal. But he believes the only way to get his hands on the Crown is to be the "arch Leaver", with everyone else a traitor to the vote.
It will be interesting to see how this develops.
I think we can safely ignore Fox. Ultimately if the outcome is full Brexit, outside the SM and CU with an FTA, then people are going to be flexible as to how we get there.
