Re the Times survey
*I am not surprised - Customs in the Irish sea is not acceptable to be fair.
However, we are where you we and no point in buyers remorse over TM deal which I backed and still would.
I expect Macron will have his way and it will be a short extension, maybe to the 15th November to pass the deal or to the 31st January to allow time for a GE
Macron is taking out Merkel as the dominant force in the EU and his plan must be to do everything he can to remove the UK out of the EU and in the recent friendship he has struck with Boris he must see him as someone he can do business with post Brexit
The striking thing with labour's tortuous route is they have used every kind of excuse to avoid a GE when if they had had any sense they should have immediately accepted the challenge and fight the deal and for a referendum.
I am amazed both labour and the lib dems did not realise immediately that as only the conservative party are pro Brexit, the combined opposition have a very real possibility of forming a consensus for a referendum post an early GE. I am far from convinced that Boris will get a majority but of course will be the largest party
It is also the best way to win a referendum which would have a mandate.
Unfortunately, there seems to be a lack of any antennae in the labour and lib dems who had the chance to grab the initiative and by their obtuse reaction they have made it more difficult for themselves, much more difficult.
* I am aware a FTA will resolve the Irish Sea Customs but that has not cut through and the argument has to be made, and won

If Remainers are going to stop Brexit, they’ll have to beat Johnson in a general election first and then win a referendum. To the Irish Government and the EU, that now looks very unlikely.
This one was more than questionable.
An incompetent/biased TMO destroying England's chances.
This is exactly my point in my previous post down thread
They need an election now
It is one of those places that hasn't fully recovered from the end of the coal industry.
I think the Tories could win this in a by election (thanks to lazy Labour voters) but a Labour hold at a general election if we don't get a by election.

Just irrepressible
Fantastic all round performance.
If she cheers South Africa tomorrow I will disown her.
All the pressure will be on them next week.
I'd sooner France won the world cup than Wales.
I thought Ford had a huge game, for one.
Order of support:
1. All Blacks
2. Wales, Scotland, Ireland
3. Literally anybody
4. England
5. Australia
6. The accursed Springboks
Let’s hope that, unlike the All Blacks, we can have an amazing win two weeks running.
I support them both being half Welsh, half English
I can not fault them.
But of course if it can't be England I would be delighted with Wales.
Cannot come soon enough.
The pompous, bullying, pro remain speaker has demeaned his office on a scale I could not imagine of any speaker
