Yep..

But obviously the rest of the world sees better business opportunity by setting up elsewhere in Europe.

Aaron Banks has had his Twitter account hacker. I've no idea what information they've found but it's being shared on the internet.

I am still convinced Brexit will be a bigger disaster than ever. I see the Treasury is saying there will be many more checks on goods travelling to and from NI than Johnson is suggesting and the cost will be borne by the many small businesses who make up over 90% of the cross border trading in Ireland.

And they can not afford it.

48% of those who voted, voted for a Pro-Brexit party.

It looks like Brexit is still dividing the country.

The Eu Council have adopted the conclusions on Article 50, which basically means that the ball is back in our court.

Johnson wants to make it illegal to challenge Brexit and to ensure that no one can prevent any part of it being extended. Which means that all negotiations have to be concluded by the end of 2020.

There's about 800 treaties and pacts to get through.

I’m 100% sure we will leave with no deal in 12 months time.

I just think this Noel Edmonds style deal or no deal bullshit is designed to create money for people in the currency markets.

If it becomes law, I would have thought it’s a noose round Johnson’s own neck.

The EU will be in no rush to agree a deal.

Johnson has told his cabinet and MPs not to use the word Brexit after 31st Jan.

He reckons people will think Brexit has been concluded if we stop talking about it.

People aren't that tick, are they?

On second thoughts

Brexit will just be replaced & overshadowed by the next scandal. It will resonate, but it will fade like all the rest.
