I'm not saying Barniers options is May's personal proposal, just that they would be the same regardless. If it was Boris banging the table, or a Davis not "bounced" into everything the situation we are in now wouldn't actually be any different.
Have Canada plusplusplusplusplusplus and knock yourself out. Still the issues with Ireland remain, and the various other issues connected that generally make Canada plusplusplusplusplusplus worse than the status quo.
100% agree on fudge, and it will get through Parliament because Tory MPs fear Corbyn and Labour MPs fear losing their majorities (and/or are leavers like Saint Jeremy has always been).
I thought David Davis was in charge of negotiations, then Raab - both campaigned for leave, Davis being a passionate leaver for his entire career. Plus May's red lines which she hasn't budged from (yet) are proper hard Brexit red lines.
Not entirely sure where you think we'd be if we weren't "undermined by remain supporters" but I'd wager we'd be where we are now. Barnier's sliding scale chart would still apply as it has the entire freaking time.
I think the main thing to remember at this time is that the Halloween displays are all out in the supermarkets and there are some absolutely massive family trick or treat packs out there. Like them bags you get a new duvet in, some of them.
Something that will certainly give some people something to cheer.
Right now we could still be relatively attractive to a half decent manager: time to assess before January and plenty of games in the tank.
Of course we won't make any change until mid-February when only fire-fighters and lunatics will want the job and come on everyone let's all get behind Chris Coleman and give him a chance.
Thankfully I didn't fear the Championship last year and I don't now. Just get it over with.
It must be brilliant to be a Burnley fan. Championship, then 16th, then 7th, such momentum that is going to see them guaranteed to finish, what, sixth this season? And then higher the seson after? Fantastic for them. Such a powerful force, isn't it.
Koeman truly was a superb appointment by Les and Ralph and took us to heights no one else has achieved since Lawrie. From strength to strength. Other leaders/managers had got us muddling along in mid-table in that time but those three broke us through, literally to the next level, to Europe.
Puel and Poch at 38% each is interesting too.
Unbelievable stats.
