The odds of a no deal Brexit were a million to one........ .....
Boris Johnson
Its not all doom and gloom:
Astra Zeneca buys US rare diseases rival Alexion for $39bnDrugs giant defies Brexit uncertainty with strike for rare diseases specialist
Who said it's all doom or gloom.
Prime Minister Boris Johnson said just a couple of days ago that the UK "will prosper mightily as an independent nation" - irrespective of whether the two sides "agree trading arrangements resembling those of Australia or Canada".
I was greatly reassured by those calming words because until he said them I thought it was going to be an almighty cluster****. You must be over the moon though!
Dear Labour Leadership : do you now think not backing Terresa May deal ( however unpalatable politically) was a mistake , as some now say any deal is better than no deal.??
Do you also think if your Leadership at the time had backed strongly the remain campaign , life maybe better now .
I only ask as we're now left with a potentially damaging no deal , and a dangerous PM with a 80 seat majority.
Regards LOM.
PS What is Sir Keir current position ( so quiet ) surely he won't back a Boris deal after pushing away Teresa's or is his fence string abstaining a trend ???
Positive news we have signed free trade deal with Singapore guess this will lead us into joining the CPTPP Pacific Pact some 11 countries like Canada Australia, Japan , and Vincent's Malaysia, it represents 500 million consumers approx 13% global GDP.
I think things will be fine
Rumour has it that Liz Truss is about to announce a trade deal with Matebeliland and the Turks and Caicos Islands.

Kristallnacht. Gunboats. This is going well.
No it means Singapore is becoming a commercial gate way to Asia for the UK and vise versa , big UK firms like that entry to that market whilst still having bases/jobs in the UK , if you look at Singapore we are one of their biggest traders,there is life after Europe and beyond , perfect world I suppose going forward is we buy our avocados for ones toast directly from the countries they are harvested form not via a secondary European supply market ,Somerset Brie is fine as is Kent Wines and Champers , tally ho chaps .
Positiveness is healthy.
Positivity may be healthy but delusional jingoism is not.
Do you know what you mean by 'commercial gateway to Asia' or is it just words rehashed from something you read in the Express? I am genuinely interested to know what role Singapore might play in future UK exports if not just as one part of a straight trading deal. Do you mean that the UK might not need to race for trade deals with all the other Asian countries that we currently trade with through the EU? That the city state of Singapore might act as an Asian agent for UK plc? Do tell.
I am also interested in your claim about avocados. Not about what you put on your toast (!) but the 'secondary European supply market'. I am no expert, but I understood that most avocados sold in the UK came direct by ship from Israel (and the occupied West Bank). Are you saying that they are unladed and moved to a European warehouse, and left for a while before being reloaded and delivered to the UK - adding time and cost to the transaction? Where did you get that gem from?
You have spent the last 4 years rubbishing the EU and repeating Brexit bullshit, and yet you claim to have voted Remain? Why?
I just looked them up on Wiki. Interesting history with the original club founded by miners and an offshoot banned by the Nazis.
Now in the 4th tier - Regionalliga Nordost - Northeast league.
Their current squad is all German apart from one Lichtenstein player, but 'on 6 April 2001, Energie became the first Bundesliga club to field a side made up of 11 foreign players. Energie often fielded nine or ten foreigners that season.'
Interesting. I had forgotten (or never knew!) that they had had such a decent stint at Bundesliga level.
Back to Brexit, interesting to read that the sadly departed John le Carré had said as follows.
"I’m not just a Remainer. I’m a European through and through, and the rats have taken over the ship.”
"We Brits are all nationalists now. Or so Johnson would have us believe. But to be a nationalist you need enemies and the shabbiest trick in the Brexiteers’ box was to make an enemy of Europe. “Take back control!” they cried, with the unspoken subtext: and hand it to Donald Trump, along with our foreign policy, our economic policy, our health service and, if they can get away with it, our BBC."
Good man. Sad loss.
