Anti-Brexit scaremongering ....

Based on that - would you support Chequers over No Deal, or do you think No Deal is superior to Chequers?

A deal is better than no deal. Chequers is, to an extent, an effort to appease the EU .. and one the EU was way too arrogant to appreciate.

But, is Chequers a step too far ? Boris certainly thinks so.

My view is that Chequers is a poor deal. I don't like it much. I favour the EU saying 'yes' to it, rather than us walking out minus a deal ... JUST. It's a close call, though.

I believe that the EU should appreciate our efforts. They don't, though. It'd be nice if that were to change. I don't think it will.

I think we're heading towards 'no deal'. I think the EU's disgusting belligerence, their refusal to actually NEGOTIATE (which invariably involves all those concerned giving something, to get something, which the EU hasn't done at all) is causing talks to head towards a collapse.

You know yourself that Mrs May talked of talks reaching near-stalemate ... an 'impasse', using her word. It's for the EU to drop its arrogance and finally negotiate, IF in fact we now have enough time for it.

I don't think that'll happen.

Without that change, we'll have to walk away minus a deal. It'll be right that we do so.
