No Deal might be the best thing, finally settling the debate about Brexit
As the Brexiteers used to be so fond of pointing out, "Short term pain for long term gain". Oddly enough, they seem to have stopped saying that now
I suspect the chance of an accidental No Deal is much higher than a deliberate No Deal though.
You keep on enabling him for further idiocies.

Long term: Years to Decades
I expect the disruption to be worst in January then rapidly get better as firms adapt.
Another upside is Johnson and his followers own it in its entirety.
But they're still going ahead with Christmas loosening. It is insanity!
I'm on a tracker mortgage as I probably will sell in the summer so I'd rather not fix if I can help it but any significant ramp in interest rates will leave the mortgage completely unaffordable almost immediately.
No following the science, its all politics. They should be locking down Wales now and cancelling Christmas (so should England for that matter, as not squished down enough).
And we get to be patronised by government campaigns encouraging us to eat Herring and Chips, Mutton and Offal.
Its like he has never dealt with the EU over the past 4 years.
Re Christmas more generally, hopefully the family mixing will be somewhat offset by the schools and unis being closed and most people being off work.
I`ve already eaten my bodyweight in mince pies.
What are the benefits of no deal again? Lower tariffs than the £0 we currently pay in the EU?
Long term I expect Brexit to be much ado about nothing either way.
We will develop as Europe's version of Canada - a developed, western nation outside of a larger political union. Distinct and different, but just as developed and with many similarities.
The two members of England's touring party who gave "unconfirmed positive" coronavirus tests will be able to return to the UK from South Africa after further testing and analysis showed they are not infected.
Cancelled tour from false positives.
People do a shit ton of red tape all the time anyway. There will be some extra computerised red tape to deal with, shit but shit happens.
The benefits are a clean break from Europe. Severing the billions a year we pay to Europe, severing all control they have over our laws, severing all say they have over our customs etc - you know the kind of things we argued about for the past five years already.
In the future when we've gotten through the disruption we can look to negotiate a clean FTA as equals without any of the so-called LPF nonsense that isn't in any other FTA LPF.
However , the 10 of us will not have Christmas day around the same table, each staying in their own home
So I would think there must be some hope of a deal.
It was cancelled due to SA positives and positives in the hotel staff too showing the "biosecure bubble" was anything but.
I recommend it highly.
Indeed had it done so many ex Labour mps would still be in the HOC
It was a collective failure by the mps at that time
I would rather be outside. I'm quite content being Canada not America.
Edit: Although if so, he might get to experience first-hand any chaos at ports/airports
Better times are coming.
In the 90s there was a hedge fund LTCM which almost brought the financial system down due to a crisis in Russia. Whilst their hedge models may have worked theoretically in the long term, short term they went bust.
This wil really set of the anti-vaxxers like Piers Corbyn...
Who gives a f*** about tariffs?
Anecdotal evidence from England suggests it won't be much better from now on.

Found myself pausing the tv often to see what was happening on the board.
And then they doubled down with statement that not only would it only be 2 weeks, no harsh restrictions or local tier system would be needed afterwards. Despite having big issues with 2 areas being way above the rest.
So in summary the firebreak was exactly the problem. They should have locked down for at least a month. I am not convinced in England a month has been long enough, especially if you want this silly hall pass for Christmas.
My money's on the female.
I didn't vote for Boris Johnson to succeed May. You might recall, though you may prefer not to, I repeatedly said he was unworthy to be in Cabinet and severely criticised Conservative MPs for stupidly supporting an ambitious, vacillating idiot as PM.
TIA.
Except it's not AF1 at that point...
Of course Guadalajara on Thames isn't very catchy.
Or how about Ukraine, another country caught between trading blocks and identities?
In reality the outcome will be unique: the UK will be the only country in Europe that isn't a member of the EU, attempting to join the EU or with a trading agreement with the EU. That's not exceptionalism it's isolation.
It is a very nice coming of age drama using chess as a vehicle. As far as I could see they only used the actual Queen's Gambit in one game so it really isn't that relevant. And it was declined.
Brought memories back of Fisher v Spassky in 1972, when I was a young child.
I am now watching gangs of London on now tv.
Gripping and very violent.
Surely London is not that bad.
