It's interesting that the biggest difficulties in reversing out of the EU highlighted in Yellowhammer are around the functioning of a modern economy given the level of integration in the single market. The drive to complete the creation of the single market, which had effectively stalled in the 1980's was very much the brainchild of Margaret Thatcher. This has fused our economy and harmonised our rules and processes in a way that few would have thought possible beforehand.
Extricating ourselves from the single market (not necessary to honour the referendum result to leave the EU but one of our red lines) makes it hard to leave but this is a consequence of our choice not the EU's. Ironic that potentially the UK's greatest contribution to shaping the EU as it looks today is the biggest stumbling block to a painless extraction!
Why are you blaming the EU for no deal? That's what the document is about (not simply brexit). It's the UK that voted multiple times against a deal (technically against a withdrawal agreement, but that's the first step to a deal).
The EU have always said they wanted a deal. The UK have said "no deal is better than a bad deal". So who's most at fault?
Corbyn in an ideal world would want a left leaning Brexit. He can't get it. The original Labour party in 1970 were opposed to joining the common market.
He would then prefer a deal. However, he knows any deal he proposes would be unpopular with the masses, so he'd put it against remain in a referendum.
Corbyn has a plan on Brexit, which is very simple. It's more remain than the Lib Dems, who have proposed a no deal v remain ref. I am not a Corbyn fan but at least he's got a plan, while Boris is hurtling towards no deal while Raab and Co quickly Google how important Dover to Calais is. To equate the two men is laughable.
I'm still waiting to hear how many people Wales-Bales is willing to let die to come out of Europe

That was not true though?
Anyway I thought we were talking about lying? Why are you moving the goalposts?
I don't want to derail the thread with talk of the troubles but it's one of my favourite subjects to read about and I think as a whole we are undereducated on it and take too much of a black and white view of the whole thing.
Whatever your opinion of Corbyn his nuanced view on the troubles is better than taking a black and white one and he was a big part in the peace process in Northern Ireland.
He supported the end of British Rule in Ulster but what's wrong with that? Unless you are of the opinion that Britain are the good guys in every situation I think it's a situation that needs a lot more thought than "talking to the other side is bad"

Guy is as dangerous as any of them, if labour mps were happy with their leader and genuinely thought they could win, they would have taken the opportunity to get rid of Boris.
They do want an election though. The reason they don't want to call one is that would mean a no deal will definitely happen. This is so obvious it shouldn't even need to be said at this point.
People need to diversify the news they consume, we are all consuming too much propaganda produced by Rupert Murdoch and his ilk.
